hi! high school senior who submitted her ED application. did the supplement and the essay, not submitting test scores. 3.6 unweighted/3.9 weighted gpa, 4 APs, 5 honors classes, one dual enrollment (next semester), irish dancer 13 years, girl scouts 11 years, swimmer 12 years, captain of varsity swim team, president of national art honor society and former vice president, member of national honor society, class representative for class of 2026 club, volunteer for an order of nuns in a nursing home, manager for boys varsity swim team, lifeguard 3 years, scholar athlete 2022-2025, will receive seal of civic readiness (volunteer work + 4 years of social studies), as well as seal of biliteracy in american sign language (fluency in a language).
i spoke to my admissions rep but forgot to tell her my name. luckily she was taking attendance cards so she has some of my info, and i emailed her afterwards thanking her and expressing my excitement of visiting campus again. an automated email came back because she was on recruitment. then i sent her another one with pictures of myself on campus, but she hasn’t gotten back just yet because of recruitment. i contextualized for my lowish gpa because junior year i ended up in the hospital twice with an iron deficiency induced migraine and explained that i used resources at my school to get back on my feet. also, from sophomore year to junior year, unweighted went from 3.5 to 3.6 and weighted went from 3.8 to 3.9 so there’s some growth. i’m also applying undecided.
please let me know my likelihood. thank you for reading!

Hi - what was your outcome?
ED2 decisions were released yesterday as per IG post.
My student got an email this morning saying that decisions will be released next Thursday 2/12?
They probably posted incorrect info and then removed it because I shared the post on IG handle, but now I see it was removed at their end. Will update the calendar.
My son got in on ED2 !! We’re thrilled for him b/c it was his first acceptance and (obv) his first choice. He applied to and heard back from UNC- Chapel Hill (denied) and NC St (deferred), mostly in an attempt to save us money knowing we’d be paying full price.
His stats are somewhat interesting.
Academic UW GPA is 3.24
Academic W GPA of 3.88.
31 ACT (26 math)
12 honors, 8 APs (four 5s, two tests not yet taken)
Athlete, and Co-Pres of Ethics Bowl team.
Found out he has ADHD summer after soph year, junior year WGPA of 4.67 w/ 4 APs.
His essay was about the journey of finding out later than most that he has ADHD and his desire to push ahead to see how much more he can achieve. Also wrote the supplemental essay, but I don’t know the topic he chose.

Congratulations, did he get any merit?
Thank you!
No. We’re paying full price, unfortunately. But we knew that going in.
