Join us for a LIVE webinar Friday, April 3 at 3pm ET to hear from admission officers on how COVID-19 is impacting admissions at schools. Due to very high demand we will be streaming the event on our Facebook page. Let us know what questions you have and want answered.
Cooper Union is rumored to release decisions today (4/1). Share your outcome!
As schools continue to announce their decisions, we put together the Class of 2024 RD Discussions Directory. Connect with fellow applicants NOW!

No news is good news, right?
Oh man, I CAN'T WAIT until December 15th! I'm so nervous and so excited! I just want some sort of clue!
The advent calendar is counting down more than just the days until Christmas. 12/22 can't come soon enough!
To relieve a little anxiety if possible, and while I realize all FA situations are different...we were THRILLED with our aid from CC. Far and above other schools (including the double legacy school I made him apply to). Also be aware that CC allows you do use outside scholarships to offset EFC so apply for everything! And, their 4 yr committment plan is awesome.
Wishing you all the best, sounds like the kind of students my son would love to meet!
(If you visit now, he'll be the one on crutches after mssing the backflip off the slackline)
I'm really hoping that we'll all have an early Christmas gift on the 15th in our emails!
Assuming that CC sends their Early Decisions the same way that they sent their transfer decisions, I would guess that they send the acceptance packets VIA FedEx and the rejection letters VIA regular mail. So hopefully the FedEx truck will be making a stop at our houses with an early gift!
Again, it may be a TOTALLY different game for you guys... but regardless be warned: I received no email, no letter, no call, no nothing on the "decision released" day. I was a shaking mess. Eventually I called the office and was told that they were overnighting the first round of acceptance packages that evening, a few more the next, and the last bit on Monday following the weekend (meaning some acceptances may have had to wait over FIVE days after the decision released day for their "Yes!").
In terms of being at your house when/if the happy package holding man shows, I don't believe its necessary. I didn't have to sign anything--so he could have surely left it on the doorstep if I hadn't pounced on him like the tiger I (officially!!!!) am. (Ignore my cheesiness. I'm still way too in shock and excited for my own good.)
So, I'm not sure about the email thing for you guys. I know past CC transfer applicants DID receive acceptance emails, but they didn't do it for my pool last week. You never know though! ED/EAs may be getting them. I would simply call the office--they're typically happy to give some hints of clarity
Good luck! Crossing my fingers for all of you. Best advice, just chill out. Your answer will come eventually--even if it's a few days later than what you expected!
On the email contact issue, I do not recall any non-international student saying that they were notified that way. Also, I recall that the EA acceptances arrives in waves with arrivals starting after the 3rd week in December.
07DAD, that's interesting that they also did the EA -> ED option in the past. I applied straight Early Decision from the get-go, so hopefully that will help my chances.
Do you know if the ED acceptances start to come in before the EA ones do? The CC website has some conflicting information on it; in one section it says "mid December" but in another it says December 22nd, whereas the College Board website says December 15th. I looked back at last year's thread and it looked like some ED applicants were receiving their packets as early as the 13th. I've been hoping for the 15th (8 days left!) Do you have any idea when I can expect anything?
Thanks to all for posting here. This is a great little group and it's nice to see a little bit of banter as we all wait for our packets to come!
