Access is just a username and password, right? Periodically likely works.

Yes, it is.

You seriously think she won't get in w those stats??


My son’s friend with similar stats didn’t get in to UP. You never know these days.


Wow that's nuts. I agree, it's all a crapshoot and they need to bring testing back.

They will go through all the EA apps first. They release them in batches by college. So, just b/c someone hasn't heard doesn't mean anything if their college hasn't released. Anecdotally, the first release seems to be mainly high stats kids. All EA applicants will hear by sometime in December. After that, admissions goes into true rolling.

DD accepted within one week OOS. 4.65 GPA and a lot of APs.

Unless they give merit aid for anyone OOS with no financial aid it is a no for most people.

I reported before that my kid would like to go...but it ain't happening unless he gets merit or they gave grants rather than loans to make up the difference between our EFC (30k) and the price.
