I didn’t see a discussion for this year so I figured I’d make one.
Has anyone gotten a decision yet? On the website it says they send the decisions in the third week of March.
I haven’t!! But I’m on vacation so if they mail it to my house I won’t know for a week! However, I would think that they would also email the decisions.
Also, I feel like they would have tweeted or something if they mailed off decisions. Then again, the ‘third week of March’ that they wrote on their website ends tomorrow…so…??? I don’t know what’s going on.
check out their facebook group risd admissions. they mentioned results will be out by the 24th, same as graduate admissions
I haven’t found anything stating March 24th, but the RISD Admissions page has been responding to inquiries with “midweek”. I’m assuming that’s the 23rd or 24th. (I’m hoping for the earlier date!)
Thanks for the info! This is nerve wracking!
Does anyone know how they will notify us? Do they send us a letter in the mail or an email? I never got any sort of portal login so…
facebook(dot)com/groups/risdadmissions/
email and snail mail! I don’t think I got a portal either just a link to a checklist around feb
On the RISD Admission FB page, Lucy specifically said that emails will be sent contemporaneously with regular mail packets. However, only the packets will contain any financial aid awards.
Thank you for starting this thread! There IS a RISD portal. My son got a “Thank you for your application to RISD” subject line email the day after applying. Read carefully and you’ll see there’s a link to a portal. When my son checked the portal on 3/18, it stated his status was “Completed - Under review”. I guess completed means all required docs and portfolio were received. The portal is strange. You get to a site, type in your email, hit submit and then it’ll immediately email you a “temporary” URL for your portal.
Here’s the portal link - https://appstatus.risd.edu/
@kornido thanks for letting us know! I had no idea haha
Weird… When I try to log into the portal I get a link in my email but it is to the same page that I entered my email to get the link. I’m not sure why that’s happening. I really hope my application was submitted!
I also never got that email…?
Well, now I’m super nervous.
@acorn1216 I tried the portal earlier this evening and it still worked. HOWEVER, the lady who runs the RISD Admissions Facebook page, Lucy, did post today that the portal will be disabled because it’s for credentials only (confirms all your docs, portfolio, test scores, etc.). She says when decisions are out, she will post a link to a different portal. I recommend you join the RISD Admissions group. Lucy is very active and responsive. We’re just the blind leading the blind here. Lol
@kornido okay thank you! I’ll definitely do that.
I GOT IN!!! 
I’m so happy !! (they just sent notifications out by email btw!)
I got in!!!
yay
anyone else waiting for brown/risd dual
Do you think if we haven’t heard by now than it means a rejection? Haven’t heard a peep. Has anyone received rejections yet? Or just acceptances?
It seems so far that they’ve only emailed accepted students. I got my email Wednesday 3/23 like everyone else indicating I was accepted, so I guess it’s safe to assume they’ll probably inform the waitlisted/rejected students a bit later by snail mail or whatnot.
