It's so staff doesn't have to field call from crazy upset parents. Everyone leaves at 3:45 pm, release decisions at 4 pm, give parents the weekend to calm down.

The really crazy ones still call on Monday day and yell and demand to know why their perfect child wasn't admitted, but it does cut down on the knee jerk reactions.

Each class is around 350, I assume not everyone that is accepted enrolls but 45% won’t really work if they have over 1400 applications assuming more than half of those accepted enroll.

Good luck to everyone that applied.

I certainly hope so!

I saw on another thread that they got over 1300 applications. No idea if that’s accurate or not.


We were at the Scholars program seminar a few weekends ago and the speaker said > 1400 applications this year. I feel like I remember 1450ish, but I’m confident someone else will correct me if I’m wrong lol. I have no idea how this compares to prior years, but I’ve seen online that the admissions % is around 45%.


Yes, the website says 45%

Historically they announce the same day as GZ and Visi. If I remember correctly, the student application portal will have a message that appears about a week out stating the exact date/time that you can log in and see admission status. You might have to log in to see it, though.

The St John’s site lists late Feb for admissions decisions, does anyone have a better idea of when in late Feb?
