RD decision dates?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Carleton College

<p>“At this time of year, the College’s small size, one of its great strengths, is my greatest frustration.”</p>

<p>The Admissions committee (Mr. Thiboutot) isn’t trying to flatter you when it (he) says this . . . that’s all I’ll say. </p>

<p>I’m not going to flatter or lie to you, either. Rejections hurt. Wait list decisions also hurt. Feeling discouraged is normal during this tumultuous period of decision notifications. Picture yourself a year (or two) from now, though - you’ll probably be studying for final exams, chatting with new friends until 2am Monday morning, and having the time of your life. Will you still remember that rejection from a year ago when you start to explore all that your college or university has to offer? Probably not.</p>

<p>Accept your emotions, but don’t wallow in them. Whether some want it to or not, this too shall pass.</p>

<p>I just re-read my previous post, and it sounds harsh and inconsiderate. I used the word “flatter” incorrectly, and I’m really sorry about that. </p>

<p>I meant to say that the admissions committee really wishes that it could accept all of its qualified applicants, but there are just too many of them . . .</p>

163

<p>How does Carleton tell you your admission decision? Do they inform you by email or through their website? Cos when I log in I just see my application checklist etc but nothing regarding my admission decision .</p>

164

<p>Heard back on 3/22, accepted! I’m in Seattle.</p>

165

<p>I also got waitlisted. Definitely had the nicest waitlist letter (at least of the three I got). Fortunately I was accepted to my top school with a great scholarship the night before, so it didn’t sting too much. Congrats to everyone accepted and good luck to those taking a place on the waiting list! (I won’t be accepting mine, hopefully that will help someone.)</p>

167

<p>Rejected :frowning:
Just received an e-mail telling me to check online.</p>

168

<p>Waitlisted. :frowning: Out of all the schools, Carleton was the one I wanted the most.</p>

169

<p>Waitlisted. I would say thats pretty good considering my SAT score.</p>

<p>Hey guys, where exactly do they post the admission decision? thanks</p>

171

<p>I got an email:</p>

<p>"Dear *****,</p>

<p>A decision has been posted on your Applicant Status Page. Please log into your Carleton account to view this update by clicking or copy and pasting this link into a web browser:</p>

<p><a href=“https://www.admissions.carleton.edu/apply/status[/url]”>https://www.admissions.carleton.edu/apply/status&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thank you!"</p>

<p>My friend just got accepted! Her stats: 3.8, National Merit, 2220 SAT, and what she called “the most awkward and horrifying college interview in her life.”</p>

173

<p>I got waitlisted as well… international with full aid calling!!</p>

174

<p>waitlisted as well! After reading those posts, I felt like there is no acceptance! ^lemming101: same as you. international asking for %100 financial aid. They only admit 6 international with full aid and 6 internationals with half aid. So… our chances were really slim but I had still hope. Anyways, I am glad that they posted decisions on the application account. Otherwise, I would wait for the FedEx letter for forever hahah. The only bad thing is that I saw the decision e-mail just after I got home. I was taking my Turkish University entrance exam!!! 2 million people take it at the same time, and the exam is definitely much harder than SAT subject tests. It would be good to hear good news after such a bloody-exam of 160 MC–160 minutes… but anyways. I should keep my head up.</p>

<p>I got an e-mail from Carleton yesterday:
"A decision has been posted on your Applicant Status Page. Please log into your Carleton account to view this update by clicking or copy and pasting this link into a web browser:
<a href="https://www.admissions.carleton.edu/apply/status"&gt;https://www.admissions.carleton.edu/apply/status&lt;/a&gt;"
Unfortunately, when I log in, there is not any admission decision information, just a standard window to see the completeness of my application.
Also, I got a notification from FedEx (I wasn’t at home at the time when the courier came :confused: ). Is it a sing of acceptance? I hope to get the letter tomorrow.
Please, help me how to check my decision on-line, I am so nervous and excited.</p>

<p>Congratulations for everyone accepted!!</p>

<p>EDIT: I just tried the “tracking” feature at FedEx website. Guess, what it written there? NORTHFIELD, MN US!!! Yay!!! I am crying :)</p>

176

<p>AHHHHHHH ACCEPTED! 3.6 gpa (I know), 2270 sat with NMF, and ridiculous amount of interest starting from 10th grade, plus an absolutely amazing interview. I also had some fairly good ECs, nothing mind blowing though.</p>

You have to scroll down the page once you log in. Right below “International students must complete…” it says: </p>

<p>"Status Update
New updates to your application were posted March 24, 2013.</p>

<p>View Update >>"</p>

178

<p>IBinLux - thanks for your help. Unfortunately I don’t have this “status update” there.</p>

<p>"International students must complete:
International Profile/International Student Financial Aid App</p>

<p>The PROFILE may be done immediately. The FAFSA cannot be submitted until after January 1 of the year you will be entering college. For more detailed information on how to apply for financial aid at Carleton, please go to go.carleton.edu/applynew."</p>

<p>The “verify address” is underneath. I completed the PROFILE requirement on February. I guess they forgot about updating the info on my account.</p>

179

<p>@ivydreamerr
I would call or email the admissions office. It should be right there where you described it. Good luck :)</p>

<p>In! That was a great change/huge surprise after being rejected from Wesleyan, Rice, and Colorado College!</p>
