<p>This is an awesome and information filled link lemonade. Thank you very much. It really helps clarify what really goes on in the admissions office.</p>

<p>Great link! Thanks for posting. But I am puzzled … the link states “letters are mailed on March 10th” - is this a typo? Sure hope so!</p>

4

<p>I hope no one has bad knees! Maybe someone should send Dean Freid some of those knee things that flooring installers wear. It’s amazing that she reads every app!</p>

5

<p>its truly incredible that she actually reads every single app…</p>

<p>the whole process seems soooooooo intense!!! omg i don’t know if im still in the “provisional list”…</p>

6

<p>thanks for the links! It was kind of scary reading them though…I can only imagine where my apps would be =O</p>

<p>Is this proccess similar with the other HADES schools as well?</p>

8

<p>BUMP. I think everybody needs to see this. Do other schools do this? Do students participate in the descion process?</p>

9

<p>I hope i am at least in the provisional admit list! Otherwise there is NO hope!</p>

10

<p>All schools have their own processes; and no, students are not involved in the decision-making process at the secondary school level.</p>

11

<p>I thought at SPS there are like student admission officers that look through apps too.?</p>

<p>Thanks so much for posting those links. They’re great.</p>

<p>2010 hopeful-I believe you are correct.</p>
