<p>Hey guys, I was wondering about the application status thing online, I submiteed my application looooooooooooooooooong~~ ago, but it says that it's not recieved yet. But on the tracking thing, it says it was recieved like 2 weeks ago.
Is there something wrong?</p>
<p>Yeah, same here. Which school(s)?
I haven't even received my LionLinks login yet. And Choate hasn't recieve anything that I sent after January 8th. Uuurgh.</p>
<p>My dad called exeter because we've submitted everything and all it says they've received is the candidate statement and the interview. Here's the main points of what she said:
1.Record number of applicants this year (she hinted that it was because of economy)
so they're really backed up and it sounded like they're understaffed as well
2.They're going to be very lenient about late applications as they recognize that many errors may be made on their side of things.</p>
<p>Interesting- I would think the economy would mean LESS applications not more. Unless people can't afford their private days and think the bs have more financial aid.</p>
<p>Exeter/Andover= free if you make under 75k a year, I think thats what she was referring to.</p>
<p>Ah god, that's really depressing... FA is going to be sooo tight this year. Sadly, I'm a full FA candidate. Hopefully schools like Choate and NMH (my other two schools) won't see a rise in applicants in general because they aren't known for craaazy huge financial aid.</p>
<p>Good luck =)</p>
<p>haha, thanks :(</p>
<p>Oh- we are probably going to end up not qualifying for any financial aid so I wasn't thinking about it from that standpoint. Not that we're rich or anything- not by a long shot.</p>
<p>We are so far from being full play, they might have to pay us for me to go!</p>
<p>Haha, I kid. My EFC was fun, though.</p>
<p>i have the same online status for Choate applications while i sent out mine in mid december :|
but others which are easier to get in already updated my status...</p>
<p>It's in the news - Harvard received the highest number of applications in history: 29000 applicants vying for 1700 openings. Do expect an increase of applications to the BS's with large endowments, especially the ones with a need blind admission policy and/or that meet 100% of demonstrated need. </p>
<p>Speaking of status check, does anyone know if Hotchkiss has an online system to check on application status or even get admission decisions on March 10?</p>
<p>@ watertester: i have no idea about hotchkiss, but i heard that brown university had a 19% increase in applications this year!</p>
<p>oh dear lord. ._.</p>
<p>How much quicker do the online notifications come than the actual letters? Like why don't people just sleep and figure out their fate the next day on paper? Or does the letter come like 2-3 days after.</p>
<p>if you're wait-listed/rejected, then they'll come a couple days late, i believe.</p>
<p>& an andover wait-lister from last year received the letter on the 13th.. 3 days of nail-biting! i'd rather check online.
& for some internationals, i believe they can only check online?</p>
<p>I'm talking from the standpoint of being accepted. Why rush to figure out you were denied lol. Do acceptance letters come March 10th or 11th?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure some schools mail the letters a few days before March 10th, so they get there on time.</p>
<p>O ok...then ya, I don't see why people want to check online so much then.</p>
<p>Because it's quicker ;)</p>
<p>hmm. well, if you still haven't gotten your letter by the 11th, you'd probably be worried, right? so .. i'd check it! but that's probably because i'm over-anxious haha. if it hadn't come by the 11th, i'd be totally paranoid and tackle all the mailmen that come by. scary part is, i'm not sure i'm exaggerating /:</p>
<p>anyways! wouldn't you want to know, though?? if you hadn't gotten it by march 10th, then you'd be fearing for the worst, and.. well, i'm just pessimistic, haa :P</p>
