Taft Decision

[bshopeful2013]

<p>Taft decision has been sent to the "Parent" email address.</p>

[Mexstudent2013]

<p>Really? Thanks!! I’ll tell them right away, well… I’m Intll we’ll see!</p>

[bshopeful2013]

<p>Yes, really! Buena suerte Mexstudent2013!</p>

<p>Got our first rejection. ;’(</p>

[Mexstudent2013]

<p>Gracias!! Not to my parent’s email… do you think that’s bad news? or maybe because Im an internationall student?</p>

[bshopeful2013]

<p>Payn4ward, I’m sorry to hear that. I know my d is going to be crushed by this one as well. There was a lot she really liked about Taft. </p>

<p>Mexstudent, honestly, if your parents did not receive an email I would probably say that is good news. I got the “Waitlisted” email at 12:38am eastern time. A “Waitlisted” email is not really the news people want to hear. I would take “no email” as good news, but I know you are probably now even more anxious. I really do wish you good luck! I’m rooting for you!</p>

[Mexstudent2013]

<p>Thankyou!! Lets hope so, Im so excieted about this!</p>

<p>I hope your D gets into another great school! :)</p>

[Mexstudent2013]

<p>REJECTED. I still have 4 more to go Let’s keep positive!</p>

<p>WAITLIST at Taft</p>

<p>the letter was kind of brief. This is the first admission decision I have received-- if I got waitlisted at Taft, I probably got rejected at the other schools I applied to because I applied to HADES :(</p>

<p>I’m depressed now.</p>

[Mexstudent2013]

<p>Well I dont feel that bad, Taft was the very first app I did, and it was on a rush, my recs dont look as good as the other ones, and My essays are not as good as the other ones also, It was the very first essay I wrote in my life and It was done in like 1 hour with not so much care, still I have other 4 schools to check in a couple hours! :)</p>

<p>We also got our first rejection letter from Taft. Many more to go, so I am staying positive. DC was wait listed for SAS.</p>

[aspirant214]

<p>Got accepted, but waitlisted to four other schools… Taft wasn’t exactly my first choice, but a wise parent in CC once said to love the school that loves you! Best of luck everybody!</p>

Dear GoldenRatio,</p>

<p>I regret to inform you that we are not able to admit you to Taft. The competition for admission to Taft is at an historic high this year. With over 1,500 students applying for only 170 positions, many more qualified students apply than we can admit. The task of the admissions office is particularly challenging because we must deny admission to many
applicants like you, who are appealing to us on so many levels.</p>

<p>Please be assured that this decision was reached after careful and thorough consideration of your candidacy. We know how much time and energy you devoted to your application, and we understand that this is disappointing news. We hope you understand that due to the confidential nature of admissions committee deliberations, we cannot discuss specific reasons for each decision.</p>

<p>I am truly sorry to have to convey this news to you, and I am sure we have missed an opportunity to get to know a remarkable person. On behalf of the admissions committee, I offer our best wishes for success in your education.</p>

<p>Sincerely,
Peter A. Frew
The Taft School

</p>

<p>The competition is always at a historic high, isn’t it? <em>sigh</em></p>
