same i had a lot of issues with non-custodial financial aid stuff and had to call several times
i also had NPC issues, but just with some of my waiver stuff not going through. they approved my waiver really early on so i thought it was a possible good indicator but i didn’t get confetti so 
I am again ED1 and all my new friends from ED1/2 and I have lost our letters on our portal, so as of now everyone is freaking out. We still have our welcome video, our offer of admission reply button, and our $500 deposit thing, but they did add the original campus tour video.

swell :))))) why does the decision time have to be 4
this is leading me to think it was a glitch if everyone lost everything… who knows
We only lost the letters, so idk about it being a glitch
Student financial aid services and the admissions office are two pretty separate departments, so it’s not smart to bring the fin aid into it that much
yeah i didn’t think too much on it, just something that came into my brain lol
idk i just feel like with everyone’s letters and confetti/video disappearing it’s possible bc that’s like… a major thing i feel.
i’ve just never heard of it happening before. plus CC isn’t a representative sample so we dunno what’s going on for everyone

For the people who had the confetti and video dissappear, did it return back to normal? like can you see the campus tour video now? or just a blank space in its place?
It sounds like if a glitch did happen they are pretty common to have occur with colleges, especially in years with insane application numbers like this year. From my experience and the experience from numerous other ED1 & ED2 smithies this year, that I’ve asked across multiple platforms to get a good sample size, even if the video and confetti disappeared after being up shortly, the video and confetti is the best indicator that you were accepted. Again, no need to panic or make assumptions before 4pm EST because that’s when decisions and letters should be out, and it’s not worth worrying about for the next couple of hours.

i get what ur saying! i’m just trying to stay positive lol
plus, if it’s like the mount holyoke situation, that could be bad for people on here to assume they’ve been admitted:(
it’s honestly more stressful to see all this speculation about the confetti and videos. We have two hours and then everyone will know for sure. Let’s just hang in there for the time being! I’m going to whole foods to pass the time lol

wait i wanna go to whole foods-
Are you out of state or do you live in Mass?
Good luck to all! Parents, if your child gets accepted today you can join our Smith College Parents and Families FB group. This is the closed group, run by and for parents only. Unofficial and going strong after 10 years of operation. Hope to see you and congrats!

what happened with mount holyoke?
we all got a link in the portal enabling us to register for courses and a link to 2025 class admitted students’ facebook group. When the decisions came out some of us were rejected.

Someone asked their AO though and they said it was a mistake.
