Waitlisted (and devastated).
Top 5% of her class, NHS, leadership
 So sad for her. This was her first choice by a landslide.

My student’s merit was listed on the separate financial info sheet.

So sorry to hear that! My daughter is a current sophomore, and one of her best friends there was originally waitlisted but got in
definitely call and tell them that she intends to attend if admitted (if that is the case). That is what got my daughter’s friend off the list. What major was she going for?

My daughter was also initially waitlisted (applied RD) and just notified that she was accepted and awarded merit. Hopefully they are moving other students in as well so I wanted to share. Good luck if your daughter is still interested and remained on the WL.

Thank you! She applied as a Biology major. We attended an admitted student day today on campus and the panel shared that the overall acceptance rate for the fall 2025 admission cycle was 29% so it was a tough admission cycle all around.

Admitted RD as Marquis Fellow (full merit scholarship):
I applied as econ major, 4.25 GPA, 10 Aps (didn’t send any scores), went fully test optional (didn’t submit ACT or SAT), was never contacted for interview. Congrats to everyone who got in!
