<p>rejected, probably because I told them where else i was applying. anyways, not bummed about it, I will be going to a better school. congrats to everyone who was admitted!!</p>
<p>It finally showed up with this:
"As of March 19, 2012 your application was lacking important credentials to our holistic review process. At this time review of your application is pending receipt of the missing credential(s). If your CMC application portal currently indicates we have received all of the items on the application checklist then you can expect to receive an admission decision no later than Friday, April 13, 2012. However if your application portal still reflects missing credentials then you have until Friday, April 13, 2012 to submit them or we will withdraw your application to CMC. "</p>
<p>The agony of waiting isn’t over yet. Congrats to those who got in or waitlisted!</p>
<p>Can someone post their rejection letter? My portal still isn’t working…</p>
<p>Laughingly, I could only access it when I signed out and signed back in again, if that helps.</p>
<p>Accepted–but probably not going.</p>
<p>@HogwartsOrBust, do you mind posting your GPA, SAT/ACT scores, etc.?</p>
<p>Hey guys, is there a difference between the wait list and alternate list? I’m apparently an alternate.</p>
<p>sure…Homeschooled (but took the majority of classes online), 2270 SAT, 34 ACT, 4.0 GPA (with 13 AP classes and 2 foreign languages), really involved with sports & ranked top 200 nationally in my sport, Eagle Scout, piano player, hired by our city paper as an editorialist, internship at major medical facility are my major ECs. White and probably won’t qualify for fin. aid.</p>
<p>Oh my god! I got in! This is the first college acceptance I’m really, really excited about! Now I just hope my FA is good, or at least that I can make it that way.</p>
<p>Accepted! I’m so happy. > 3 < The website worked fine for me, but I did wait like 30 minutes</p>
<p>Accepted!!! OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!</p>
<p>GPA: 3.7 UW
SAT: 2340 (800 Math, 800 Writing, 740 Critical Reading)
SAT II: 780 Math Level II, 720 Chemistry
ECs: VERY political </p>
<p>I think it was my essays that got me in. This is so awesome! I just got rejected from all the ivies + Duke + Hopkins so I’m pumped I got into CMC! See yall in California!</p>
<p>Congrats Alacky! CMC saved the day!</p>
<p>StarbucksBarista: I’ll most likely be attending Tulane U next year.</p>
<p>hey RD folks! did CMC say in your acceptance letter what the acceptance rate was this year? or give the number applied and the number accepted? in my ED acceptance letter they only said what the early acceptance rate was and i’m curious about the overall rate</p>
<p>No mention of that, although there was the usual ‘most-competitive-year-ever’ stuff.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate for the class of 2016 was 12.4%. More extensive stats will be published in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>Rejected… CMC was my dream school. Slaved away over that app, my analytical essay was killer, I even made a seperate CommonApp for Claremont… I thought I had a shot. 3.91 UW, 2300 SAT, 10 APs, main extracurrics are figure skating (competitions, high level testing, teach lessons, etc.), coprez of a cancer-fighting club at school + affiliated nonprofit that raises $$, prestigious summer internship at a children’s clinic, worked as an office assistant for a lawyer (played that up for CMC, lol…), etc… random other volunteering, temple involvement, etc.</p>
<p>I know it’s really competitive. A heartfelt congratulations to all those who got in-- you’re amazing, and CMC is an amazing school.</p>
<p>My commiserations, however little they mean: this process is as capricious as they come. Someone who’s as outstanding as you are will surely find suitable abodes. Best of luck, I hope the remaining decisions fall your way :)</p>
<p>Accepted!! My essay about leadership may help me get in, which I think is awesome and creative. I also have been rejected by all of the Ivies that morning. CMC really saved my life and heart!!</p>
<p>What was the ED admit rate? How many were admitted in the end? Total and ED? Anyone know?</p>
<p>anyone know when admitted students get their FA packages? are they on the way?</p>
<p>CMC parent here-</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone admitted and condolences to those that were not- but it looks like you all will find great homes somewhere!</p>
<p>I woud normally keep my nose out of your celebrations/commiserations but I thought I should respond to post #61 by Moonman. I know many read these threads to get info/make plans and they deserve accurate information.</p>
<p>Moonmans’ rejection has nothing to do with telling CMC where else he was applying. I know it can be hard to stomach rejection, but that is just not true. That information does not even go to the admissions officers reading the applications. It is for statistical data on application overlap (like in Fiske Guide. PR etc). CMC looks very strongly at qualities beyond the #s so the admissions might seem more random, but they are looking for fit. </p>
<p>I am sure Moonman was a very strong applicant by the #s and he did get into some fine schools, waitlisted at many and also rejected at Yale. It must have been disappointing that 2 of 4 acceptances he considered “safeties” and that he was rejected by CMC which he considered a “safety” as well. I don’t think CMC, with a 12% admit rate should be considered a safety by anyone and Rochester (even with a family connection) and Hamilton are no slouches either. While Swat is a fine admit, even for a recruited athlete, it might not feel satisfying to someone who says it is not a “fit”, I would assume socially?</p>
<p>I would congratulate Moonman on all of his admits and it sounds like Williams will be a good match, but I hope all of you wonderful CMC admits do not take his harsh words to heart. “Better school” is relative, and who knows what criteria he is using to justify raining on your parade. At the very least, it is apparent that he was not a good fit for CMC, which is known for strongly emphasizing social skills and leadership, as well as academics.</p>
