I’m really curious on how the CS Advanced Selection will play out with Early Action. Will they send their decision of whenever or not you got accepted into CS alongside with your Early Action decision or will they release it later? What happens if you get postponed EA?
If I had to guess, they’d probably release CS Advanced Selections after RD comes out. It sucks that they’re not releasing much information (at least of what I could find) of how CS Advanced Selections will play out, but I suppose it’s still “early” and they want to finish admissions before they start deciding. I’m just speculating, though.
As someone who wants to major in CS, I have two admissions to worry about haha. Hopefully, it’s not too competitive, but who knows . January cannot end any sooner LOL.
It’s the 1st year for this “CS advanced selection” process, so I/we can only speculate how it’ll play out.
I’d like to think the acceptances, both the “CS advanced selection” in EA (or RD) will be done simultaneously. As will the acceptance to the University and rejection to “CS advanced selection.”
Yikes. Not to mention the near 100% chance that I will get deferred and have to wait until March/April. With CS Advanced Selections, lowering admission rates, rising tuition (esp. for OOS), and the delayed admissions release time (iirc it used to be in December…), it looks like I applied at a rather unfortunate time. As the saying goes: the early bird gets the worm. Wondering how admissions will be 10 years from now.
Speaking of deferrals, I have a question about the continued interest forms. Does anyone know if there is more success when they are used for a second “why Michigan” mini-essay, or when they are used as a way to update admissions on accomplishments? Usually I see that LOCIs have a bit of both, but last year’s max word count was quite small.
Has anyone seen the USC applicant data their admission office posted today? Applications up 20% since last year, acceptances will be down a few hundred since yield was surprisingly high last year - so acceptance rate there will slip below 10% there at USC this year.
Common app said that applications systemwide across all colleges in their purview were up 20% this year…gonna be a very tough year indeed.
Apparently some kids/parents asked their representatives and they said something along the lines of “not the first week nor the last week of January”. There is a possibility, but I wouldn’t hold your breath. A safe bet would be the last Friday of January, Jan 27th.
Well, the 27th does sound more like the “end of the month” than the 20th. To be honest though, I don’t think this baseless speculation on the release date is helping any anxiety
But back then, schools were still requiring SAT subject tests. And we had to figure out if two math/science subject tests (e.g., Math II, Physics, etc.) versus one math/science and one humanties (e.g., US History, Literature, etc.) would be best.
D18 took the Math II and Literature subject tests and planning for them around taking the SAT was a hassle.
. January cannot end any sooner LOL.
