I applied as Early Decision in mid-November.
Unfortunately, I messed up and didn't send some parts of the application. When they contacted me again, it was to tell me that I had to send another recommendation letter, one from a High School teacher. So, they only got my full application in a few weeks ago.
I really hope they look past the really dumb delays involved on my end, as this is my top choice school (and, of course, the only one I messed up the application for). I look forward to hearing from the office soon. Good luck to all else who have applied!

My son also applied. He LOVED the school when we visited, and it became one of his top choices. Anxiously waiting for the decision! Did anyone have an interview? Son hasn't had one, and I'm not sure if it will help his case.

Son applied ED for 2009 and received acceptance a few weeks ago. We are all thrilled. Any others out there?

My S was also accepted with presidents scholarship; also accepted at Goucher. Both are CTCL schools. But I think Goucher has the stronger English/ writing/Music programs which are his main interests. Good Luck to all!

I applied RD for fall of 2009. I'm glad that someone from Texas applied. I'm from Mississippi. Go south.  I'm planning on touring in March.

Hmm, it seems like Clark isn't particularly popular on CC this year, so let's get some more conversation started...
I just got my RD acceptance today with a notification that I'm eligible for the Traina Scholarship (for science majors)!
Congrats to those who have already heard back and good luck to everyone else.
P.S. Go South (actually, I'm a Yankee transplant to Florida, but I think it's great that Clark has attracted at least three students in the South!)

Thanks! The letter was actually pretty typically sized,with only two pieces of paper. I think the "big" envelope as well as financial aid package come around April 1st, but they have to send out an early notification for scholarships because there's a February interview involved.

I'm sorry but you said RD.....Clark said it's not until April 1st.....was it an EA or ED acceptance? Thanks.

JGCIM: I did apply RD. Clark notifies most people around 4/1 and notifies everybody about financial aid around 4/1, but they must (I'm assuming) have some pre-screening process to pick out the scholarship people earlier. The reason for that is that to actually win the scholarship (not just be nominated) you have to visit in February and do an interview. Unfortunately, this pre-screening is probably based on fairly arbitrary factors like test scores and GPA, because if they took the time to look at everyone holistically prior to February than they'd be able to make a decision then...

I would suggest looking at their website and other college guide books (Fiske, Princeton Review's website). It is a small university focusing on undergrads, who are very active in their learning. It is especially known for psychology and a 5 year BA/masters program in certain fields, but is strong in many areas. Reservations that I have (personally) are its location in an ostensibly not-so-great part of Worcester and I also worry that it might not be very intellectual. What specifically do you want to know? What "kind" of college is your son looking for? I'm visiting from 2/20 to 2/21 so hopefully I will be able to give you more complete answers then.

my son is a few years off..looking into business for a major. Wants a smaller school in NE that is good academically. Is Clark pretty liberal?..my son is more on the conservative side.
Does Clark have a good reputation? How is the campus?
