<p>Any news yet?</p>

2

<p>nope! and where is the pool of Whitman Class of 2014 applicants?</p>

3

<p>We visited campus on Friday 3/12/10. The admission rep said they were mailing decision letters on 3/29/10 to include information on scholarships and financial aid packages.</p>

4

<p>Today they sent a funny little “ease the tension” email with a link to the admissions blog. There’s a post there on “songs to wait by.”</p>

5

<p>Our info is two years out of date, but just something to hold in mind if you get in and don’t hear about scholarships: D got her admission information and it said that financial aid/scholarship info would be following. Waited, waited. (We didn’t file for need-based aid due to an unusual year). Finally, near the deadline, D had given up hope for any merit scholarships and about to send in acceptance to other school when she emailed the admissions rep. “Oh, yes, you got the “such and such scholarship”, wasn’t that in your letter?” No, since we never got a letter! She was about 18 hours from going somewhere else and then discovered she had $11,000 worth of merit aid that we didn’t know about.
If you didn’t file for need-based, be pro-active about whether you were awarded merit money.</p>

<p>This waiting is driving me insane! Ten more days…ten more days…</p>

7

<p>I got accepted today. Anyone else?</p>

8

<p>Mcclam, where are you located? Did you find out online or did you get a letter? Thanks!</p>

9

<p>was that in the email MCCLAM? i have not received any…are you serious?</p>

10

<p>oh yup i see you mcclam</p>

11

<p>so I am confused, how did you find out, regular mail? email from the school? or is there some way to check online?</p>

12

<p>My status changed to “complete” yesterday. Do they send decisions immediately after this?</p>

13

<p>reading between the lines – and based on some information circulating in my S’s high school – it sounds as if some potential scholarship recipients have been notified already. As part of this scholarship, the student flies to Whitman to be interviewed.</p>

14

<p>Sorry for the late reply, but I am from Oklahoma and it was a fedex package actually and thus far no email. I did receive a scholarship, but I don’t have to fly out to interview. </p>

<p>I can answer any other questions you may have.</p>

15

<p>when did you get that? the exact date, I mean…</p>

16

<p>He said he got accepted “today” on the 22nd.</p>

17

<p>I received it Monday the 22nd.</p>

<p>Edit: Woops. Didn’t see ^'s reply.</p>

18

<p>so, was that an early write or sth like that? i guess the decisions have not be out to many…i am confused///</p>

19

<p>Anyone want to call their office tomorrow about when they’re releasing decisions? I’ve been bothering them for awhile (:</p>

<p>I remember that last year they seemed to come out in waves. Here’s last year’s “waiting” thread… <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/whitman-college/669452-should-week-correct.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/whitman-college/669452-should-week-correct.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
