Official 2013 Decisions Thread!

<p>Wow this is a lot of full tuition offers. I wonder how many they give out per year.</p>

<p>The number of students on scholarships are in the common data set. There is a page where they list the number of students on scholarships (not athletic) however I don’t recall it listing the numbers of full versus partial scholarships. And I don’t recall it giving the numbers of scholarships they offer and the numbers that are turned down. At one college that did give the numbers – they had offered like 15 full rides and gotten only two acceptances (tier 3 school). Of course, with the economy tanking – I am assuming the acceptances will go way up this year.</p>

<p>Full tuition too!</p>

<p>bulldog10: Congratulations on your full tuition! I see in 2006 you were deciding between Harvard and Yale’s acceptances – what happened? Did you shelve college for two years to apply to Pitt as a freshman now?</p>

<p>No that was my sister, we just kept the same cc account name. She choose Yale and loves it!</p>

<p>How long did it take…my daughter took her time and didn’t apply until 10/31.</p>

<p>I’m fairly certain she’ll get in…I’m assuming she has good chances for merit??</p>

<p>AP Scholar with Honors - completed 4 already and scheduled to take 4 more.</p>

<p>UW GPA - 4.0
Weighted – 4.9ish</p>

<p>Enough Extra-curricular and summer stuff…officer in 3 academic clubs.</p>

<p>She’s hoping for honors.</p>

<p>Any idea of her $$$ chances?</p>

<p>Also how long will it take…I know she applied late! Also seems as if it takes her school a long, long time to send stuff.</p>

<p>i got my decision within about 3 weeks.</p>

<p>Well it hasn’t been 3 weeks yet but she’s heard from a few schools that they haven’t received her transcript yet…very frustrating.</p>

<p>i completed my app on 10/26
my gc sent my transcript on 10/29 (they received it on about 11/3)
my teacher and counselor recommendations were comleted online the week of 10/26
i sent my sat scores 10/26, they were processed 10/31 my collegeboard
i got my acceptance 11/15</p>

<p>for help with the transcripts, it’s not that they haven’t received them, but that they probably haven’t logged them in yet.
i’ve had that problem with michigan state. i contacted my guidance counselor and they said that they not only sent them off but that they received a card stating they had them.
so just keep following up on them by emailing the admissions office and your guidance counselor. that’s the best advice i could give.</p>

<p>Thanks all…she did confirm today that they did receive all of the paperwork…so now she’ll just have to wait!</p>
