Waitlist 2017

<p>Yeh, I am also a little stuck as I’m intl and have a lot of fin need. I applied to Smith, Wellesley, Barnard, Vassar, Colby, Bates, Bryn Mawr, Hamilton and MoHo. I don’t mind the rejection, I was sort of expecting it as I went in basically blind and had to learn on the job so to speak, but I am much more prepared for next year :)</p>

<p>I got rejected Smith ED II and I was absolutely devastated. I also applied to Colby and got rejected. I’m also on Bryn Mawr wait list.
Wellesley and Hamilton are very, very selective.</p>

<p>Yeh :slight_smile: I think if I have to reapply next year I have a better idea of where to apply and the process so I have a better chance, I hope :)</p>

<p>Wow yeah those are some pretty selective schools for the both of you! I don’t know why but I really felt like the decision would be out today…do you think we’ll get called or emailed or find it on Isis?</p>

<p>I have no idea, I don’t think we’ll hear before next week tbh, but it’ll probably be email, or an email telling us to check Isis.</p>

<p>Yeah probably…ughhh asdfghjkl; it’s killing me!!</p>

<p>I’m trying to stay positive, waiting means they’re reviewing, waiting means not making a snap decision, waiting means trying to see if they can work it out. We want them to take their time, because we want them to seriously consider us :)</p>

<p>Absolutely. Really the only thing that will help us through this is being positive. But that’s a good way to look at it! </p>

<p>I have to say I am quite jealous of my friends who have already committed to a school!</p>

<p>Oh god me too, I just want to know one way or the other so I can make plans</p>

<p>Samesamesame! </p>

<p>Omg I have to stop going onto Isis it’s getting kind of obsessive at this point hahah</p>

<p>Decisions CAN’T be tomorrow. There are loads of accepted people who can’t decide where to transfer their deposit until the April 30th midnight; it’s highly unlikely MoHo admissions stay awake all night and calculate the numbers and then start reviewing wait list applications :smiley:
Last year my friend got accepted Spring from wait list on 13th May…</p>

<p>ISIS is currently unavailable.
ISIS is unavailable everyday from 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM for scheduled maintenance and occasionally needs to be taken off-line for other maintenance or upgrade tasks.
Please try again later.</p>

<p>Are they uploading decisions? :(</p>

<p>Unlikely, it goes offline every day from 4am to 6am local time. It’s currently 10 past 5 there so it’s just scheduled down time :slight_smile: don’t panic! It’s not even May 1st yet :)</p>

<p>@MattieR91</p>

<p>Haha thanks :slight_smile:
It’s like half past 2 pm here
I hate the time difference thing
I get emails at so unlikely times and my tablet makes weird noise
ruins my sleep cycle :D</p>

<p>I know haha so annoying, I don’t know if I should send more info or not arghhh</p>

<p>@MattieR91</p>

<p>Have you sent some info before? I’ve sent a motivation letter, new extracurricular activities list, photographic supplement, increased family contribution (new employer statement). Also told them I’d love to be accepted Spring and it’s 100% chance that i’ll enroll in case I’m accepted.
I also have some creative writing supplement but I think that’s gonna be too much.
I wanted to make a video :smiley: and sent that in.
People do make video essays right? but that’s … blaah dunno too extravagant </p>

<p>Come on Mount Holyoke!
Admit me and I’ll make meaningful contributions to your community
I will be one of the best students ever I promise
I’m very dedicated
and motivated</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>haha :D</p>

<p>Okay</p>

<p>I’m dying now that May 1th is approaching</p>

<p>So far I sent a letter (via email) as soon as I accepted my waitlist place with extra info. I’ve emailed with questions, mentioned that I would def enrol and would accept Spring too. I also had an informal chat with an alum and she advised sending in some extra writing so I did that. I feel like this is a really fine line between being proactive and being annoying haha</p>

<p>What time zone are you guys in?!</p>

<p>I’m GMT (2:15pm at the moment) you?</p>

<p>Sorry for the randomness haha…yeah I did the same things as you guys! I’ve emailed a bunch of admissions people, given updates about my grades and awards, and sent in a letter from my English teacher who is a MHC graduate. I’ve said the same things you guys have, about being willing to accept Spring admissions, and my passion for coming here and the guarantee that I will come I accepted. At this point I feel like all we can do it wait. Any more information could be superfluous and might seem a bit desperate.</p>

<p>Although the idea of the video crossed my mind as well :)</p>
