DeanJ posted on Instagram today that they don’t know the exact date yet.

Certain Ivies and a handful of other schools send them to the top 2-3% of applicants a few weeks or a month before decisions come out. It is to make the student feel special and not let them fall in love with other schools that have earlier release dates. They are wooing your kid. It basically says, “We think you are amazing. Your application is one of the top we have seen this year. We are going to offer you admission in a few weeks.”

This is our first crack at the insanity. It is not 1994 anymore. What is a likely letter? Is this a deferral? I thought those were only given to athletes.

I just want it to be over. I have so many things on hold while we wait to hear next week (hopefully!!).

If kid gets in we are going on a bunch of trips over break. If not, back to the drawing board.

This is my 2nd kid. I’m so over all of this sh@t. lol

+1000 4th kid. I feel your pain.

Oh Wow! The 2nd is my last one. I couldn’t imagine doing this 2 more times. Good luck to both of us !

My kid was going through that and yesterday got a surprise EA acceptance earlier than expected. So, we’re a bit more at ease now while awaiting the ED announcement next week. Fingers crossed that you all will have good news soon!

What are some schools that drop surprise EA acceptances? My DC is still waiting for her acceptance. I thought Indiana would be out by now.

NP here. I'm sure this is on no one's radar but Seton Hall notified my kid 12/1 and their published date is 12/30.

Also probably not on most people’s radars but mine heard from Sarah Lawrence College yesterday.

Acceptance?

When did your kid submit their application?

Yes, accepted to SLC with a scholarship and applied EA 11/1.

Congrats!

Good grief. You have the patience of a toddler. ED decisions come out super early as it is. I'm glad I don't live at your house. Are you the type who puts up Christmas decorations weeks before Thanksgiving?

Why do we have so many Karens in our society? This board is for parents to vent. Weirdo.

Use of the term “Karen” is very racist!

+1 And ageist. It's meant to denigrate older white women. Thank you for saying something.

Is it sexist? Or, alternately, is it sexist to assume “Karen” is a female?

People usually think of their HOA president as a Karen. I don't think it refers to race, or sex, or age. It could be a 22 year old young URM male. Karen is entitled, always tries to control situations that don't involve them. Rude as fuxx.

+1

It’s not racist.

Which schools are sending likely letters? I heard W&M does.

For DC it was a SLAC and a midsized private. Both applied EA.

Fordham does.

What does it mean if you don't get a likely letter? You're on the track for rejection?

You can definitely get accepted still. I think they only send a likely letter to the very top applicants.
