Class of 2019 (the journey begins) - Sharing,Venting, Etc

Any word from Ball State yet?

@KaMaMom‌ – quiet here. Just waiting, checking CC, asking D if she has checked her phone, drinking, repeat.

After S got the priority hold notice earlier today from Texas State he got a call from Kaitlin Hopkins with an offer, He did a happy dance! He is so, so honored and thrilled!

Congrats @MTDadandProud‌ ! So far the boys have gotten the calls tonight! The Priority Holds for the girls are trickling in


Woo Hoo!! Congrats @MTDadandProud!

D just got a Priority Hold for Texas State. Happy, happy, girl
 for now.

@addicted2MT‌ that is sooo exciting!!! Congrats!!

Congrats @addicted2MT !! Fingers crossed for your D!

Congrats to all getting that happy news!
Does anyone else out there suffer a little anxiety when hearing about acceptance letters.?.. I do, even when it’s to schools my kid didn’t even apply too! Ha! Sip

Congrats to your D, @addicted2MT!

Congrats to all receiving positive news! Hang in there everyone
your child will get theirs in time!

D got a Priority Hold to Texas State this morning through accepted e mail. Very, very excited for now! Good timing also because she got a NO from Penn State last night through Penn State portal.

So I have a question that I know has been answered here before but I don’t remember the answer and I really don’t have the time to look through the whole thing to find it; what does Priority Hold mean at Texas State? Does it mean “we want to accept you but it depends on whether the students earlier on the list accept or not” or is it something different? Do they put hundreds of students on priority hold?
Thank you in advance for your knowledge! :-h

@pookiesunshine I completely understand. I hesitated a little before I posted my S’s acceptance because I knew so many are still suffering the waiting - hoping to get good news. I was there just a day ago! I am sure good news will come to everyone but it is cruel that this process is drug out over 5 weeks or so. Good luck to all!

Congrats to all of those with acceptances and holds etc. Hang in there to all who are waiting! We can do this!

@Patrice13‌ a priority hold means you are in the pool of students they will be selecting from. This group is usually limited to below 75 or so and can very at each school that uses this type of system. It is a great nod to be in that group! Even though it is not a “yes” yet, let it serve as a confirmation that your child was at least in the final running! :slight_smile:

@Patrice13 Congrats on the news from Texas State. I wish I could answer your question better. My D has a friend who is in the current Freshman class at Texas State and my understanding is that the Priority Hold group is a much smaller group than got past the prescreen, maybe only 30-40 or so. It means your D is in the final pool they are having to pick between. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about Penn State. My D is waiting too. So far nothing has changed under her application status. Is that where you found out about the no?

Congrats, @Patrice13‌ !!! Texas State had their last audition last weekend. One D’s friend was at that callback. Apparently, Kaitilin announced at the parents’ meeting that up to 40 students would be placed on Priority Hold. She did not specify gender breakdown, and of course, that was probably an estimate on her part. But, it is good to know the “ballpark” figure.

Congratulations to everyone!! Does anyone have an idea of how many Elon called back total?

I have heard of at least one girl admitted at Texas State so the girls are getting called now too!
