This is the official discussion thread for Dickinson College Class of 2029 applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
ED decisions are out!
Does anyone have any thoughts on when RD will be released? According to previous threads of past years, it was a Thursday around this time in March.
I called admissions this past Monday and they said that they did not have a confirmed date but that decisions would be released “within a week” I’m hoping they come out today or tomorrow.

S25 in with $45k merit! We haven’t visited but that price makes it a real contender.

S25 accepted with a very generous combo of merit and need based aid. This was a bit of a reach, so I had really not expected an acceptance via RD after being deferred at Lafayette for ED1. Needless to say this changes things in our decision making process. I’m praying he falls in love with it when we visit.

We’re looking forward to our visit as well with our accepted D25! Also visiting St. Lawrence, Oberlin, Denison, and Skidmore — definitely making the LAC rounds this next month!

FTR…S25 has indeed found his place with Dickinson! Mom and I are thrilled that he had that “this is my place” moment. We’ve been back 2 more times since the initial visit and each time has only solidified that decision even more. Sigh of relief lol. If anyone has any questions I’ve become comfortable with navigating the campus etc…happy to help where I can.
Congrats! S25 is still in decision mode with it narrowed down to Dickinson and a few other schools. Did you happen to check out the dining options other than the main dining hall?

We did check out Denim which appeared to be VERY popular in the morning between classes…cool hangout and layout…I also looked at the other options but we didn’t spend a lot do time in the others. Union Station (right next to the cafe) looked like a nice space…but again…we didn’t experience the actual food there. Same with the Juice Bar and Biblio. I tend to think Biblio and Denim are the 2 most popular just due to the fact that they are located outside of the HUB. Side note…I had the same concerns as you so looked online and see that there’s a 24/7 diner 2 blocks from Campus (close to the athletic fields) and another deli type place that’s 24hr on the weekends…so even if it’s an odd hour of night there appear to be options very close to campus…
