<p>I went to a NC admissions event a few nights ago. They told us that the notifications already sent out are all or almost all in state. According to them they’ve received a lot of applications this year. </p>
<p>My son applied by the priority deadline but there was a problem with Naviance sending his grades - sent twice, the high school confirmed, but NCF never received. After all that he had to send them by mail in January. Frustrating as this is a top school for him! Think he may lose the “early application” advantage.</p>
<p>We still haven’t heard from NCF. We are planning a trip to Florida with tentative plans to attend the accepted students’ event, but my son hasn’t been accepted yet. </p>
<p>I got in!! Applied after priority deadline </p>
<p>Daughter, out of state (west coast), just found out she is in and is very excited. She applied early January. Now we can make travel plans!</p>
<p>My son applied before priority deadline, and we still haven’t heard. His stats are well above the median (actually above 75th-percentile for published SAT/ACT results) for current freshmen, and he’s in an IB program. We’re surprised. Did you just hear? He attends a boarding school, and wasn’t there to receive mail yesterday or today. We might ask his adviser to contact NCF if we receive no word soon. They have sent some very friendly e-mails, but no admission decision.</p>
<p>Did the accepted students receive a package, or simply an envelope? My son received a notice that a package arrived for him at his school’s mailroom, but nobody is there to deliver it. He isn’t expecting any parcels, and so he wonders whether it is from NCF. </p>
<p>Phew! Son was accepted with scholarship. He will attend the accepted students’ event next week.</p>
<p>I applied in October and I still haven’t heard back yet and I’m out of state…should I assume the worst? </p>
<p>Congratulations, woogzmama! Yay!
datkid1, there’s no reason to assume the worst. They have been super slow doing out of state admissions.</p>
<p>We are going to FL this week; my son will attend some classes on Friday, and then go to the Accepted Students’ event. Although he still is waiting to hear from 9 colleges, some of them might cost almost twice what NCF will, and so NCF is looking very good for him.</p>
<p>My son finally got wonderful acceptance package from NCF on Monday! Super-excited. Must quickly plan visit, unfortunately missed Admitted Students day. Deciding between NCF and his other top pick, both with nice scholarships. Any suggestions for visiting? Is it easy to sit in on classes?</p>
<p>ODKMom - I’m so happy to hear your news. My son attended the Accepted Students’ Day last week and was favorably impressed. We like NCF, and the Sarasota area, very much. He had arranged to attend some classes, but we were both stricken by a brief, nasty, stomach bug on Friday. The college is very helpful about setting up class visits, but not all classes are available. If you are planning a Friday visit, the choices are extremely limited. I’m sorry that my son couldn’t attend any classes, but he walked away from his event with a very positive feeling about NCF. It’s on a short list for likely colleges next year. The financial package is unbeatable, and might just be too good to pass by. </p>
<p>I got my acceptance package this friday! 
While New College was my first choice, sadly, I won’t be able to go as my parents would like me to stay in state because it’s closer and cheaper. 
</p>
<p>So sorry to hear datkid1. In PA most of the state schools are relatively expensive so the difference is less than you would think (in fact NCF is less than Penn State or Pitt!) Are your parents sure about this?</p>
<p>Yes. They believe if I applied for medical school after college, schools in Florida are likely to discriminate (since I am Indian). However, I’ve applied for financial aid so if I get something maybe they’d consider. </p>
<p>Confused. You think that schools in Florida discriminate against people from India, and are more likely to do this than schools in Pennsylvania? </p>
<p>I don’t, my parents do. I don’t live in Pennsylvania, I live in a different state. ODK was just giving an example. </p>
<p>NCF will cost almost exactly the same amount as our state’s flagship public university. Of course, that’s with room and board; it would obviously be much less expensive to commute to a public college.</p>
