It’s okay though.

Accepted!!!

waitlisted!!! :’) issa party

It’s a yes for D19! So happy for her! Tough decisions as she has some good merit offers from other colleges. She’ll definitely attend Admitted Students Day in April.

Sigh… another Rejection

Accepted!!! Still in shock over it…

Accepted.
Asian

School - very competitive

I’m not surprised at the no. Five kids have applied from our high school in the last three years and they’ve all had high stats. None have been accepted. I don’t think being from the Chicago suburbs all that interesting. And since our school has no history with Williams it was a longer shot than some of the other LACs. Congrats to those accepted!

Waitlisted

Accepted :slight_smile:

DD waitlisted. Was expecting a rejection, so slightly surprised. Won’t take the spot because she has two amazing schools with great $$ so far, and I’d like her to start falling in love with them.

Congratulations to all who were admitted, and enjoy the decision-making process!

To those who were not admitted— a year from now, most likely you will look back on this moment and feel fine that it worked out as it did, because you will be so happy at whichever college you are attending instead.

To all— Take your acceptances and explore your options, forget your rejections, and, once you know where you will be attending college, embrace that college experience with enthusiasm and have an awesome four years!

Rejected

@Arnkim Wow! It’s amazing. What’s your secret sauce?

Do they do a staggered release of decisions? My friend hasn’t heard anything yet.

Waitlisted

Asian female, first gen, immigrant
3.86 gpa (school doesn’t do weighted)
1380 sat, did not submit any subjects whoops
Strong EC’s + essay
Graduating with an AA degree + challenging course work
Don’t know about recs but the teachers that submitted i’ve had for 4+ subjects all four years

Super surprised I got waitlisted since my stats don’t stack up at all and I’m from Cali which is seen as a very competitive state. Not my first choice since I wasn’t expecting anything but I’m pleasantly surprised :slight_smile:

Waitlisted here! 34 ACT and 4.0 UW. Also rejected from the fly-in lol. Good luck to everyone else on the WL!
