This is the official discussion thread for Mount Holyoke College Class of 2029 Early & RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
got deferred because of extenuating mental health circumstances which caused me to only take one AP (Spanish lang) junior year, but I’m doing better and taking four APs this year (chem, bio, calc AB, and lang). My counselor called and my AO told her that they are strongly considering me still but just need to see semester 1 grades. I have a 4.0 so hoping I’ll get in.

Hi! I was wondering about dorms. I just got into MHC from ed 2 and I was wondering if anyone could comment on certain dorms like liked / disliked?
My D lived in 4 different dooms during her 4 years on campus. Honestly she loved them all for different reasons. Her favorite was probably Pearsons simply because of the location and the beautiful wood floors, and general architecture. But there was no elevator, if I recall correctly, so it might not be another’s favorite. There are so many lovely dorms, I’d look at location first (some like to be near the center of campus, some like to be near the athletic center or the small town center, etc), so start with that. But you can’t go wrong.
Congrats!

Hiii! Any predicted date for RD?
Maybe within the next few days? I know that my and at least a few other people online’s application checklists have disappeared, now the only thing on the portal is the financial aid checklist. Seems like one of those changes that occur close to decisions being posted.
Oo interesting, I only have my fin aid checklist too! Good luck

I may have discovered a bit of portal astrology, does this work for anyone else?:
If you look up “Mount Holyoke admitted students day” and click on the result that says “admitted students events,” you should be able to click “register” for the “welcome MoHome (virtual)” and then sign in. For me, after I sign in, it autofills my info and says “congrats on your acceptance!”
Someone on reddit I messaged with said that after signing in, it said “access denied” for them. This might just be delusion but I’m seriously hoping it’s real, I want to get in so badly.
Ooh mine says congrats too, hopefully that’s right!! But I think it’s probably just an automated response
ETA: the virtual admitted students event is next Wednesday so I think it’s a reasonable guess that decisions will be released this Wednesday as that would give people exactly one week to decide whether or not to go to the event

Mine says " Access Denied: The event for which you are trying to register is open only to admitted students. The details you provided do not match an admitted student record on file. If you think there is a discrepancy in our records, please contact us at admission@mtholyoke.edu."
I think this is probably a telling sign. I hope you guys got in- congrats and good luck:)

Ooh I hope it’s Wednesday. The wait is killing me! Do you know if MHC announces ahead of time when decisions will drop?

I was deferred from EDI and they did not announce the date beforehand. Don’t know if it’ll be the same for RD

Mine also says access denied. Maybe its a glitch for others to get access, but they may already have admitted students in the system if they are releasing decisions soon.
