Checking Admissions Results

Pre-College Topics High School Life

My SCEA results come out on December 14th, and I’m not sure what the best way for me to approach checking and telling my family should be. I’m not particularly close to them, and quite honestly, I’m afraid they’ll make fun of me immediately if I get deferred or rejected. That day is also my mom’s birthday, so I can’t really go out with friends or anything.

So far, I’ve gotten into my safety school, but I didn’t know when that result was coming & just opened the email without telling anyone until I read it. I don’t know if I should tell my parents when the results are coming out/ask them to be with me when I check, or if I should do it alone.

Any advice?

If you think they’ll make fun of you, don’t tell them the date and do it alone in your room. Maybe get a friend in Skype or something with you for moral support if you want it. Then decide what/when to tell your family.

My parents love me, but they kinda leave me to myself to figure out my own crap when it comes to school. That being said, they seemed to have figured out that my NYU decision is December 15th—and aren’t forgetting about it like I thought they would. So I scheduled myself for work that night :slight_smile: I can check it there, and if I get in, I have fun people to celebrate with, but if not, they don’t know I’m looking at a college decision!
Maybe you could open it at school or go to a library or something. Or don’t tell your parents the date unless they already know it
