Ugh I wish they would just tell us when they are going to tell us

also going crazy lol so i’m going to post a chance me:

Essay:
Wrote about transition into adulthood using license plates of cars as I grew up (weird thing that I memorize rly easily)
EC essay- wrote about piano

I felt I had a really great interview with my alumni and the teachers who wrote my recs really know me well as a person as well as a student so I think those will also be good

Hooks:
Female for engineering?
Turkish citizenship (diversity?)

they should really just tell us something!! it would releive so much anxiety of just waiting!

@jayusa8 I would be very surprised if you don’t get in!

Anyone know at least what time of day we can expect to be able to see? Whether Wednesday or Thursday

my guidance counselor talked to an admissions rep today and said it would be thursday but again like people have said they probably wouldn’t admit if they were releasing them early

So latest possible Thursday morning at 12:01am? @jayusa8

@jamesb24 I would say after school hours. That means around 5:30 Central Time because you know west coasters and all.

Yeah it will either be Wednesday 5:30 CTE or Thursday 5:30 CTE. And they will probably give us a warning email about 24 hours (give or take) before they release the decision (but there have been times when they haven’t done this).

Who here has applied for any of the merit scholarships already?

i haven’t… i’m waiting to see if i even get in first

I was going to but then decided to just wait and see if I got in. My EFC was pretty low anyway so I’m not worried about merit scholarships

Anyone else just a kid from Akron or NE Ohio?

Hey i’m from South Carolina too! @ellen3557

I’m from North Carolina. I’m so nervous.

email should be soon, right?

yeah, like in an hour or two

If we don’t get an email soon then I guess we find out Thursday
