I wonder if they accepted everyone they were going to accept yesterday

22

i think if they did they would sent an email to everyone on the waitlist that they didnā€™t accept, telling them theyā€™re released. thatā€™s what other colleges do

did anyone else request to be considered only for fall 2021?

24

i did

25

i did because my major didnā€™t allow for the september 2022 waitlist

26

i did as wellā€¦ iā€™m going to assume they havenā€™t released those decisions yet because of possible capacity issues?

has anyone else gotten word from them?

The word from a Smith parents forum is that housing is expected to be manageable but crowded in the Fall as everyone returns to campus full-time (basically not as many singles as usual for 3d and 4th year students). No official word why but could be any combination of enrollment, gap years, limits on study abroad, etc. This might be why offers are being made for the Spring term.

Has anyone else heard back from them?

31

no nothing

anything new?

Another spot for January '22 just opened up. My daughter just declined her admission. This is the first year they are admitting a freshman ā€œJā€ class (January admission). They expect to have approximately 50-60 new admits at orientation in January. Good luck to those still waiting!

do you guys think itā€™s worth waiting for this? idk about anyone else, but i need to submit where iā€™m heading for college so that the school can send final transcriptsā€¦

you have to put in a deposit regardless if youā€™re taken off the waitlist. iā€™ve sent in a deposit already but i still think thereā€™s a minuscule chance they might take students for fall '21
