How Schools Notify Applicants

I vote for not looking until they are all in.

I am saving the schools where I feel marginally more confident about acceptance until the end. I dont have enough patience to wait for all of them so its a compromise!

NMH comes out for me on M8 but my others on M10. I’m not sure if I should wait till M10 to check NMH with the rest

@mgirlforusa If you can wait 2 days, you have a lot more willpower than most people! :wink:

I know Lawrenceville comes out on the Application Portal at 9 am. I am still not sure about Peddie though.

@mgirlforusa Just make sure you don’t check it in school! especially not in an ICT class! especially not before lunch! :wink:

According to @stargirl’s 2014 spreadsheet, Taft posts decisions on their online portal soon after midnight. However, we have not received any communication from Taft to let us know how they inform about decisions. Has someone received such communication? If so, could you please verify how and when Taft releases decisions?

I also checked the SSheet but have not found any current info on Pomfret or PAbbey. If anyone has news to share, I would appreciate it! I also posted on M10 freakout thread.

Pomfret sends a letter that arrives on the 10th

@GoatMama I got an email (ominously titled “your admissions decision”) that said:

Admissions decisions will be delivered through your Taft Admission Portal on March 10th. Please be sure you are able to access your portal before March 10th. We strongly suggest that you log in now to be sure you have no difficulties.

If you are having difficulty logging in to your portal, or have lost your login credentials, please contact JoAnne Holland at hollandj@taftschool.org.

I wonder if the portal crashed last year so they want people to not all check at the same minute and thats why there is no time specified (did the portal crashing happen last year?)

I am sure this is in here somewhere but I can’t find it. Milton says they mail the decision to you. Do they mail before the 10th (so you get it on the 10th) or email as well or we just wait for the mailman?

Just saw on Facebook that Tabor is mailing decisions today! Maybe it will arrive for us tomorrow!

oooh! @mass2020mom . good luck!

@center I cannot seem to find the email but we definitely knew our status @ milton on March 10th. I can find an email from the Soccer Coach at 8 PM last March 10 with an extra congratulations but I cannot find the actual email announcement. Maybe it was published through their online portal.

thanks @RedSoxFan18 do you have a dc at milton?

@center No, my DD was accepted last year but chose not to attend. DS2 did apply this year. I went back through some old emails and I’m pretty sure Milton delivers acceptances via FedEx or UPS for delivery on M10.

@RedSoxFan18 . Thanks!

We received DD’s Milton acceptance a full 3 days after 3/10! This was a couple of years ago, so maybe things are done a bit differently there now (or maybe ours was an anomaly, although we live in NY so the letter didn’t have to go far!)

Does anyone know about Milton or Tabor?
