Haven’t heard anything official but last year ED decisions were released 12/11 (and EA 12/16). If they stick with the second Friday of December maybe ED will be out next Friday?
Good luck to your son! My daughter also applied ED. She was hoping they’d release decisions on Friday but is resigned to the fact that she’ll just have to wait another week!
The wind was CRAZY in the Springs today. Apparently trees down everywhere… malls evacuated, rooftops torn open, I-25 closed. D18 is a senior living off campus and a huge evergreen fell in their yard. Luckily it missed the house but is blocking the driveway for sure. It has been an unusual weather event for the Springs!
Son accepted!! GPA 3.83, SAT 1310, lots of extracurriculars including band, theater, tennis. Also, work as a camp counselor and volunteer work with the disability community. Very personal essay. So excited and proud!!
Accepted ED. 34 ACT. 4.30 out of max 4.44 at top HS in the state. No class rank but probably in top 5-10%. 13 APs + 2 math courses beyond Calc. Pretty thin extracurriculars by today’s lofty standards. Excellent essay in English teacher’s opinion. Good interview in mother’s opinion, the kid can be charming. He is very stoked about CC, it seems like a great fit for him and I think that came across. Congrats to all accepted and good luck to all deferred!
My daughter was accepted ED and is thrilled. Not sure on exact stats, but strong student in urban district with consistent and strong extracurriculars. CC is really the perfect fit for her.
Question—did your acceptance letters have a PS? There was a note on ours regarding the essay which seems personalized but just curious.
Congrats to your daughter! Yes D’s had a PS about the essay. Nice that they care to spend the extra time to personalize it even if just a little bit!
