This is the official discussion thread for Connecticut College Class of 2029 applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
Do we know when RD decisions will be released?
I haven’t seen anything official other than the standard “late March” response. Last year they released on March 17th, so hopefully it will be sooner rather than later
S25’s art portfolio is now gone from the portal so maybe it will be this coming week?
Fingers crossed for this week! That would be great
I read on the website they’ll email us a week before with the date. I hope it’s this week!
No email yet
They announced they would be posting decisions this Saturday.
Can’t wait!
Results are out, and my daughter was accepted!
Hope others have good luck this morning
S25 was accepted with great merit! We are doing a happy dance here. We love Conn.
S25 also accepted today with the Founders scholarship. (And come on…who wouldn’t love those confetti camels.) I am a little concerned about the size of the school because he applied to a mix of school and has been learning toward something larger/more robust. But we also haven’t visited yet so who knows?
The camels are adorable. We also loved the personalized letter that mentioned things from their extracurriculars.
Definitely visit. My son loved it despite wanting a more medium sized school. It’s very pretty and the campus is quite large. It’s definitely a love it or don’t love it kind of school though.
Conn is where my son is going (he got in ED1). The camelfetti was soo cute! And his letter was personalized too, which he really liked. We weren’t sure if that was because his acceptance process was a part of the Posse process, but it sounds like they do the nice personal touch for everyone.
My S25 got in with 38K in merit! And yes, you gotta love the camelfetti!
Another nice touch that shows they actually read his app are the mentions of his ECs and what he wrote about in CA essay. He worked so hard for months on that essay, so for it to be recognized in such a specific and personal way is amazing. Awesome touch!
Welcome to the Herd! Our son is a first-year and is very happy.
Congratulations to all those accepted! My daughter is a happy Camel, and I’m happy to answer any questions for incoming students or parents.
D25 was accepted with a Founders Award too. Loved the camelfetti and the personalized letter referencing her essay. Such a nice touch. We’re looking forward to the tour. CC is smaller and farther from home than she wants, but it’s a very tempting offer nonetheless. So nice to feel like more than a number!
