<p>Applied RD and received confirmation of application. As of 10pm EDT tonight (Monday 3/26) I still haven’t received any communication from MH. From this thread, it appears notifications about status started on Saturday and were still continuing into today. Is this normal (application responses sent out of a period of several days) and at what point should I become concerned if I still haven’t heard anything?</p>
<p>Have you checked ISIS?</p>
<p>@gatemsh</p>
<p>Agreed with MissGen, check ISIS. I’m pretty sure decisions started rolling out on Monday, the 26 and will continue until April 1. Maybe call admissions if your decision status hasn’t changed on April 2.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. Checked ISIS, no update. Based on what Blissful said, I will hold tight for the moment - hopefully will have news by Sunday.</p>
<p>Good luck, gatemsh!</p>
<p>gatemsh,
since it seems so many people have heard, I would contact admissions and ask (and tell them you know that people have heard). Why sit here and wait if it’s just a computer glitch. And, I would hope we will get packages in the mail before Sunday!</p>
<p>Packages?

<p>Autocorrect at it’s finest…I meant packet–Like the envelope with the letter and all of the other info colleges give you.</p>
<p>Aw, man 
Here I am thinking that Mount Holyoke is sending out boxes of chocolate or something…</p>
<p>No chocolate yet, down here in Florida. D</p>
<p>Still none in Georgia either. :)</p>
<p>It seems like Mount Holyoke fell off the edge of the world. Maybe the
power has failed!</p>

<p>Hey, do you guys know where I could find some info on the wait list? I search the website but found nothing. I took the spot, but now I’m wondering if they give aid to students admitted from the waitlist</p>
<p>accepted!</p>
<p>im from california and ive never been to MHC nor massachusetts, can anyone give me a a brief summary on how it is over there?</p>
<p>@yellowswagger – There are lots of trees and it’s cold about 8 months out of the year. Fairly liberal, if that helps. </p>
<p>@alisyn – have you looked at the common data set?</p>
<p>I’m surprised this hasn’t generated more responses. So I will jump in. :D</p>
<p>1)It isn’t cold eight months of the year. September and October are beautiful, sometimes even November. April and May also quite nice. This is just covering when you’re in South Hadley. The fall is nice with the changing colors on the trees.</p>
<p>2)Mt. Holyoke itself is a liberal college, probably among the more liberal colleges around, as are most if not all of the Sisters Colleges.</p>
<p>3)It is relatively small, with a strong liberal arts curriculum and lots of extracurricular opportunities in music, drama, women’s issues, social activism.</p>
<p>4)South Hadley is rather small but you are close to Northampton and Amherst, which are a bit more lively and a couple of hours from Boston, a little farther to New York.</p>
<p>5)This is not a huge party school but if you are so inclined you can attend parties at UMass, Amherst, Hampshire among other area colleges.</p>
<p>6)You can attend classes at any of the “Five Colleges” in the area.</p>
<p>7)It is an open, accepting environment no matter your ethnicity or life style.</p>
<p>Hope this gives you a little more info about MHC.</p>
<p>I will add that thru our study it would seem to have a fine academic reputation
in the life sciences- biology, chemistry- as well as the obvious-- humanities,arts, letters.</p>
<p>Graduates do extremely well gaining admission to professional schools, as well
as achieve in graduate education.</p>
<p>D and wife stayed on the campus in November when D interviewed. We were drawn
to the schools in the 5 College Consortium thru a contact my daughter had with a
Mount Holyoke rep at her high school in Florida.</p>
<p>Mount Holyoke is the oldest of the Sisters Colleges-- I believe founded in 1837. And,
I am told has a lovely campus. </p>
