Swarthmore 2015 RD Applicants!

<p>I’m in.
10char.</p>

<p>I got in!!</p>

<p>i got my admit letter today!</p>

<p>Congrats to admits, note that if you do not have a letter yet it is because some letters are mailed out mid-March (now) and some are mailed out late-March. Don’t feel anxious.</p>

<p>Isn’t there a link to log in and find out the result ? If some people are receiving the results earlier than others, it definitely builds up stress on the ones waiting.</p>

<p>dbasu44: some colleges notify certain applicants earlier, which seems to pretty much mean “we’ve already read your application and are confident that, regardless of what we read next, we want to admit you.” I’ve been admitted to two of my RD schools already, and I’m pretty sure they do that because they know waiting sucks and that the people who receive their acceptances earlier will be appreciative and potentially more inclined to take the offer. The way I see it, it’s basically a shot at increasing their yield. (and probably a successful one. hearing early is a nice feeling.)</p>

<p>Of course, it sucks even more when you don’t hear anything (I haven’t heard back from Swat either…bummer!), but it doesn’t mean anything good or bad for our chances of being accepted. Just keep in mind that we’re already more than halfway through March, so it won’t be much longer! hang in there. :)</p>

<p>then letters to internationals must take a hell of a time to reach! :frowning:
Unless they use speed post or something?</p>

<p>Are you absolutely sure that there’s no way to find out o/l?
Or can we call or something?</p>

<p>My daughter receieved her admission letter yesterday. Called me on the cell…more like screaming with joy on the other end of the cell! Thank you, Swat! :D</p>

<p>People, people…Early writes (which are what people are talking about who have heard within the past week) are FAR from the norm and there is probably a way over-representation amongst the College Confidential crowd. The vast, vast majority of RD letters will be mailed out in the next week and a half. Last year, the letter was dated and postmarked 3/25. Swarthmore does not use an online notification system. Internationals will be notified by email, I believe.</p>

<p>Wesleyan FedEx’d my decision to Germany, but I don’t think that’s the norm, haha.
Post from the US to here doesn’t actually take that long, though, and finding out in actual writing is much more fun…</p>

<p>(for the record, according to the website: International applicants will be notified of their admissions decision by postal mail and email.)</p>

<p>Momof3sons and suitcases: thank you so much for telling me that! That’s great to hear, I think a part of me would have died if I’d had to wait so long!</p>

<p>GarfieldGirl I see you everywhere, we must have applied to a very similar list :)</p>

<p>I am so happy I got in! :slight_smile: (found out early)</p>

<p>so I just decided to look at last year’s admitted students stats and now I’m thinking my chances are next to none…</p>

<p>The letters should be mailed out at the end of the week, yes? I’m sure I’ll know within a day or two of when I’ll be getting it, West coast + avid CC checking means no surprises!</p>

<p>My stats sucked and I was a finalist for a full ride. Don’t worry so much!</p>

<p>Haha thanks :)</p>

<p>I’m not too worried :slight_smile: It is what it is - I’ve already gotten a likely from another one of my top choice schools, so I think I can handle any rejection or waitlist at this point and know I’m still set :slight_smile: But I’m still anxious! yikes :)</p>

<p>i just called the office of admissions and the guy said theyre mailing them out either thursday or friday!!!
ahhh!!!</p>

<p>Yay! :slight_smile: That means…WA by monday or tuesday hopefully!</p>

<p>yeah, or if its USPS prority, it might even be saturday (if sent thursday!)
YAY</p>
