Hey buddies. Just wanted to start an official thread now that we’re getting very close to the decision date!
Does anyone know how we’ll be notified? Email, portal update, etc.?
I think it’s on the portal!
What date are they posting decisions?? I have friends who applied RD and already heard back.
Did they get early writes?
Hey guys. Do you think this proves decisions will be released on the 25th? http://www.smith.edu/admission/admit/
I was looking at the 2019 RD thread and this was correct in predicting that last year’s date was the 27th.
Probably. @ deandebshaver tweeted “Countdown to decisions: 20 days.” on March 5, so I think that double-confirms it. 3/25/16 6 PM EDT is the magic time!
@mech423 Oh yeah, that probably is our best source haha. Thanks
Wow, that’s my birthday!
Hey guys! Do internationals get decison form email or on portal? When are they releasing desciosn? Can internatio s
Get early writes?
you’ll get an email when the portal is updated. idk about the international release date but most likely around March 25.
My daughter got her acceptance letter in the mail today. I had to open it for her and text her photos of the letter. She was in the middle of orchestra class. She was also accepted in the STRIDE program.
@TsarinasMom Would you mind telling us where you’re from, and your daughter’s stats? Did she apply RD?
Congrats @TsarinasMom ! Was your daughter one of the “early write” recipients a few weeks back?
On my application summary page, under application summary, my info reads- Admission Type:Regular Decision
Level:Undergraduate College: Smith College Campus: Smith. I may be getting mixed up between college portals, but I believe before on this list it read “Under Review” and that is not there now. Perhaps this change means acceptance? Or am I just getting mixed up between portals and this is how it always has read?
@TsarinasMom , would you mind sharing when the letter was dated/postmarked? My daughter is anxiously waiting to see if she got a Stride (she got an Early Write).
@freimary , unfortunately I think that’s how it’s always been 
or at least it’s always been that way for me. @pralinegirl , I got my STRIDE notification today too (I was also an early write) and it was postmarked 3/18
@freimary My portal says the same thing.
What does everyone else’s portal say?
@Remmyk the same. I think it stays that way until the decisions are officially released on the 25th
For the people who have got the STRIDE notification, did you get an email or some alert on the website? I’m an international student so I really don’t think posting something would be possible for the college.
@AnimalLover0209 no, no email or changes online, just a letter in the mail
