notified about sibling admission or rejection

[Anonymous]

I was a PP. early notice was a rejection.
They advised to apply again next year.

Our early notice was an acceptance. 1 week prior we received a call to discuss "maturity". I provided context and then the following week we received our admission.

Sorry OP. I would have expected you would hear something, anything by now if you were to get acceptance.

We go an acceptance for a sibling one week ago more or less.

I think the opposite—many schools only let you know early if a sibling is being rejected.

I agree with PP at 847. Some schools, including at least one “Big 3” only call a week early if the sib is getting a rejection or being waitlisted. Some schools really don’t want connected families to feel that the school is slighting them or have connected families find out thirdhand that their siblings didn’t get the special early acceptance call.

3/1 is only a couple days away, don’t let people on this board work you into a panic.

Makes sense

I can say from experience at our k-12 that you only get notice early for a rejection (they don’t waitlist siblings). If the sibling gets in, you find out Friday.

I know of siblings that have been waitlisted at our k-12.
