When did your child submit the application? Towson is DS's top choice, and we assumed he wouldn't hear until January. |

| I wish my kid had done some rolling admission applications. I'm envious of all these acceptances so early! First one my kid will hear from is Georgetown (so a likely no!) |

| Do most kids get their acceptances electronically first? My DD got a surprise acceptance in the mail the other day, brought me back to the 90s! |

How are kids finding out already from schools that aren't rolling admissions?
People upthread posted Dayton and Seton Hall, for example- I didn't think those were rolling. |

Some schools call it EA but it is actually rolling. At some other schools it is EA but they release in batches. I think UMass Amherst used to release in batches but just last year switched to a single notification date. |

PP here. Thanks for replying- makes sense. My child applied to both Dayton and SH (albeit very recently) so I'll be on pins and needles waiting! Congrats to all for their acceptances! |

It is exciting to hear of all these acceptances. Congrats to all! Hope another slew drop this evening or over the weekend. And good luck with the Georgetown app. Believe! |

Same, my son applied REA to Notre Dame, also likely a no. We are psychologically not expecting any acceptances until late January. |

Mary Washington did a really nice thing - they had a regional reception in Fairfax which was 5 days before their EA/ED deadline and said if kids submitted their applications before the reception, they would do an expedited application review and give an admission decision at the reception.
I was wondering how they'd handle that! Would it be face-to-face? They handed out envelopes with the decision. Some opened it right then and some stepped outside the room for more privacy. My daughter opened hers in the car. Anyway, it was a really nice way to get the kids excited and the staff/faculty, students, and alum who spoke were terrific- my husband and I were ready to enroll ourselves! |

I’d add, some of the rolling schools have an EA deadline for things like merit, honors colleges, etc. So it is essentially two rolling groups. One rolling group that submitted before the EA deadline, and a second rolling group that submitted after the EA deadline. That seems to be, for example, how Alabama works. |

| We didn’t know U of Dayton was rolling admission. My DD sent her aplication a few days before the EA deadline, and was accepted about four weeks later into the Honors College. We were all pleasantly surprised. She will most likely decline the offer, as she already is in at another rolling admission school (with a high admission rate) she would be more than happy to attend. It is nice to know you are going somewhere before the holidays. |

Was 10/25 since was working on the extra Honors essay. Was surprised to hear too. Not sure what is going on |

Interesting, thanks for the update! That's around when DS submitted (he also was working on the honors essay). Congrats to your child on their acceptance! |

I just saw your response, and then DS texted that he was accepted!
