American University Early Action / Early Decision for Fall 2025 Admissions

I suspect that’s just quicker (and less embarrassing!) as a response than explaining it was went in error…

But we will never know:)

Well now we are impacted by the Eaton Fire (S25’s school is in Pasadena) so there will be a delay in getting the grades to American. We are safe and our house is safe but so many families at S25’s school are not - 1/3 of the school is displaced or their homes are gone. I am assuming that American is taking this in to account.

Gosh, I hope they are taking that into account. I’m sorry to hear all you’re going through. I would call your local Admissions Officer to discuss.

S25 did and she has an away message saying she is in Los Angeles and can’t respond because of the fires.

Glad you’re safe. Have your student email/call the general admissions number/email and explain. 2028856000 or admissions@american.edu.

I am so sorry :frowning:

I hope (and assume) that the university will be accomodating.

Hi all,
I logged on to the portal just out of curiosity and on the main screen and also on My applications Tab,
I found a new table with a new ID below the previous table.

Is everyone having this new additional table with new ID for your student?

Just curious

Nothing different here! But sounds like if things changed on yours a bit things are happening! maybe coming soonish?

Yes! My son’s page has the new table with a number at the top and blank below.

They said that this year’s is a brand-new portal, so it looks like they still have some kinks to work out.

Did your students apply to honors or other programs? I think that’s what the new ID is for…

Mine didn’t apply for anything extra and had no changes this morning

Does your daughter’s have anything in the new box besides the new number and Checklist Item, Status, Required, AU Comments, and Instructions?"

My daughter and her friends both say “no” under status…I wonder why. Both are extremely strong candidates

My son’s says the same. I think it means no other documents are required, similar to the other checklists.

It says No under the status as well

Also, my kids portal looks every so slightly different now…fonts/spacing and the big table of received documents has a new format :person_shrugging:
