Same here. Did Hamilton send emails letting you know the decision was in the portal? We didnt get an email either.

S in! (incidentally, he never got an e-mail, but the update was in his portal). FA is one of his worst offers, though (a little surprised; it was one of the best ones when his brother got in 5 years ago).

My son accepted RD, as an January admit - didn’t know that was a thing. Anyone else get that?

See Applied ED1, admitted to Jan - #28 by m_Bik for a very recent discussion of Jan admits. Congratulations to all who were admitted!

Yes a few people have that with ED results as well.
There is also a facebook page for Jan admits that was started few years ago.
There are some very good options to do in fall semester prior to January admittance.

My daughter has preferred Hamilton’s Jan admit over a regular admit with first semester in London at another LAC

S24 not accepted. For future applicants- stats include 3.7 gpa (unweighted), 1580, National Merit Semifinalist, several AP, excellent essay, Eagle Scout, Black Belt karate, several awards, volunteer hours good (and focused on area of interest), did not complete 3 years of foreign lang- and knew this could be a problem. Visited twice- once for an all day event, interviewed, did all supplemental including Hamilton Hello. Was at the top of his list for a period, but luckily it had fallen down list past few months. Congrats to all who are accepted- it’s a great school and the campus is beautiful!

does hamilton send accepted student packages? i think they mentioned they did?

D24 in with practically a full ride of need-based aid! (Desperately needed as her father has become disabled in the last year.)

I believe they do. My son is a freshman at Hamilton and we couldn’t be more impressed by the school. It’s truly remarkable. Congratulations on your acceptance!

Thanks. It’s been one of my favorite schools from the beginning. So far we have heard nothing but positive things about Hamilton.

My son was admitted in ED and received a lovely little something in the mail from Hamilton (I won’t ruin the surprise for you)
