@NewEnglandBound - congratulations. You applied RD or ED?
@ChicagoMom62 Thank you, I applied EA.
Has anyone heard that is Regular Decision?
How do I know if I’ll hear back February 11 or March 11 and what time is it released
I don’t think you can predict. My kid and his pal heard on different EA dates despite close application dates and stats.
Has anyone heard anything today? If so, when did you apply and how did you get notification?
Thank you
I haven’t heard anything yet, but am hopefully that I will today because I applied in early December for the RD deadline.
They just tweeted out a picture of letters going out: https://twitter.com/UVMAdmissions/with_replies I think that means online notices will be in email today. I also read this blog post from November that says applications are reviewed in the order they are complete so there is no meaning of hearing earlier instead of later: https://uvmadmissions.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2015/11/12/uvmsaidyes-today-what-does-it-mean-if-i-didnt-hear-a-decision/ That said its SUPER hard to wait until March!!
Twitter said the notices would be available after 5pm
Got my admissions decision at 4:33 PM! Accepted into College of Arts & Sciences, Chemistry major. Going to get my package in the mail during my break next week.
I’m surprised I got in. My test scores seemed low for OOS. Guess the letter of recommendations, essay, and my extracurriculars served me well!
@Ngzk07 When did you submit your application?
@bostonbound123 Back in November.
I was accepted around 430 today in to the college of Arts and Sciences majoring in Economics.
If an update wasn’t made that means the decision will be posted on 3/11?? If so that sucks!
D got an email yesterday at 4:30 ‘Accepted.’ She had her application complete by early January.
She is from MA
SAT 1810
ACT 30
Straight B student (couple As, couple Cs). A few honors classes, one AP
Solid recommendations. ECs reflect a passion for service, the outdoors, and animals.
Undeclared
I never recieved my login!!? What should I do? Do you think it will still come in the mail?
