@stepl100 and @Chemmadness I don’t think you have anything to worry about. My daughter is a freshman there and was admitted with lower scores, solid ECs, and she was awarded a very good merit scholarship. Good luck.
Has anyone heard a date for EA decisions???
I believe it’s 12/20.
Posted an hour ago on the WPI Admissions Facebook page that EA1 decisions will be released Monday 12/16 at 5pm.
That’s great news!
Nice to know a little earlier because my son has some regular decision schools to apply to if he doesn’t get in to WPI.
Same here. WPI is top choice so the results will influence the RD applications.
Another EA Parent here…Waiting…Daughter is in College Preparatory School in Mass. I am in NJ.
For those that are wondering, WPI’s Facebook page released a few hours ago that decisions will come out today at 5pm
Good luck to everyone!!
Good luck to everyone! So glad that the administration at WPI was sensitive to the time constraints that we are all under and are releasing the info early.
