@Jm6844 @Ctmomof2boys @Lilllllllly So, down here on the Sound Shore, we once again show no small envelopes on Informed Delivery (yea – scrolling through each morning makes my heart flutter). And there’s one piece unscanned – gives me hope… once again. Maybe today’s our day! Hoping for happy news for all.
@WestchesterMommy good luck!!
Fingers crossed for all of us!!! Really want to see a big packet in my mailbox once I am home today
WestchesterMommy - same here. 4 pieces of scanned mail (none of which is the bad wake one) and one unscanned. Groundhog Day #4, another day another dream. Let me know if yours comes as our mail doesn’t come until 4pm.
Lilllly - My s sent in his test scores cuz they’re his strength (1500 SAT). His high school is a bit of a grade deflator for whatever reason and his GPA is his weakness (around 4.0 weighted, maybe 3.7ish unweighted). A lot of APs, a lot of high honors, great EC’s, didn’t interview but showed significant interest in Wake - basically we told them Wake was his #1 choice and always has been. Tulane and UGA are his other two options at this point. The more I look into Tulane the more I like it, plus he received a really nice (and unexpected) Merit scholarship there. We haven’t visited Tulane but will do so irrelevant of what happens with the Wake soap opera.
D received admission email this morning. US Citizen, International Resident. No SAT/ACT. IB DP student (39/45).
Strong EC, Social Responsibility Project. National Sports award, Strong Recommendation. Decent writing supplement. Had also received email from DHL earlier about international shipment. Congrats and best of luck!
Good morning everyone:-) Hoping that the waiting is over for all of you with envelopes and that they are BIG!!
Good Luck!!!
@satkam It is making me nuts that news has been received internationally but not 30 minutes north of NYC. But I’m so happy for your daughter! I think that if I keep staring out my window, the mailman will arrive sooner. That’s my plan.
WestchesterMommy - I was thinking the same exact thing!!
Anywaym if it’s taken this long, I think it has to be worth the wait!! Hoping you receive soon then I’ll be confident my S will receive good news also
International students got an email. Rejected.
@Westchestermom I understand the wait and thought before posting. I noticed that the DHL status link showed letter at their Cincinnati Hub for last 2 days. Probably, with multiple schools sending out their letters simultaneously, is creating a load that is chaotic and random. Sometimes no news is good news and best things happen to those who wait. Best of luck!!!
SatKam - that’s why 99% of colleges post results on their portal or at least email results to the prospective students. Relying on USPS and the cost associated with this make no sense
The mail arrived with a big black/gold envelope! I am so so happy for my son. I hope this means that all of you a few miles north of me are about to hug your mailmen! I will be watching all day to see if you get good news.
Awesome on so many levels WestchesterMommy!! If you drink, have a glass of wine or multiple glasses!!! So happy for you!!
@WestchesterMommy Congratulations!!!
@Jm6844 @sanangelo1 I am crossing fingers for both of you !!! Keep the SPIRIT UP!!!
@Jm6844 Do I drink? Suburban mom with five kids. Duh. I’ll be dipping into the chardonnay around 7 pm, when my son’s e-mail will ping with six more schools. But this is the one he really wanted and I can now survive the coming bloodbath. I agree with the poster (was that you) who speculated that the smaller envelopes might have made it through the NYC mail hub more quickly. I think you and our neighbors in southern Fairfield will receive huge envelopes in the next few hours. Fingers crossed!
@WestchesterMommy woohoo!! Congrats!! @Jm6844 hoping yours comes today! Go Deacs!
@WestchesterMommy my Pinot last night was necessary bc I was so stressed since Wake is number one. I was so happy bc I knew how much she wanted it. I’m with you tonight (4 schools) though with Wake acceptance I can breathe now! Cheers!
Yep - I agree Westchester Mom about the smaller envelopes making it through. This application process is a bloodbath. He hasn’t gotten into any of his reaches (not that any school really should be a reach with his stats) and has been waitlisted at a few that he really should have gotten into.
Also, hopefully Liiiiily for Danbury gets great news too
My S only has one left (Michigan), he’s in at Tulane and Georgia.
