Same, I keep refreshing my email (I applied early for Magical Realism).
Got my decision! Admitted, 4.00/4.86, SAT I 1530
did u get an email or check the website
@bigman37 I checked the website. There was no email.
I don’t see financial aid info tho.
my friend got her decision for this program around 3 hours ago… I’m confused because I keep updating the website and I haven’t received any type of notification of my admission status. i’m guessing they’re doing the decision release in waves. anybody else in the same boat?
I checked the website and don’t see anything yet. Did you guys see the notification on the page titled, Application status for ____
Yep, followed by "Thank you for your interest in our Summer Humanities Institute program and submitting your application. "
Deferred…
Sad
got my decision!
accepted for Magical Realism and Globalization (session II)
for reference (since I found past threads really helpful when I was applying):
W GPA: 5.65 / 6.3
UW GPA: 4.0
standardized testing: (MCAS - state-wide assessment taken by Massachusetts students) for English - 532/560
writing sample: wrote about how Confucius Institutes infringe on students’ rights and expand China’s foreign influence
essays:
“describe yourself as a student + future aspirations” - wrote about my love of creative writing, art, and linguistics and how I explored these by writing pen pal letters in Mandarin to ppl in China, Hong Kong, etc. mentioned my dream of becoming a polyglot, author, and illustrator
“what you like about the humanities” - talked about the interdisciplinary nature of the humanities and why I’m particularly interested in reading magical realism books + fairytales
“why you want to attend/what do you hope to gain” - described how ppl in my school are very STEM-oriented and how I’ve always felt like a black sheep, and I want to meet ppl with similar passions
“extracurriculars” - included: ambassador for a teen writing website, varsity tennis, volunteering at local library, working at local art class, participating in nanowrimo (national novel writing month)
“greatest challenge” - discussed how my speech impediment affected my confidence as a kid yet lead to me discovering my passion for writing and reading
I hope this helps!
Also, does anyone know how many ppl typically attend a course/session? thanks!
Omg got into Magical Realism as well!
Hi guys! Got accepted into Racial Identity in the American Imagination for the second session, has anyone else gotten in for this class? Also, does anyone in the past know what the class is like? Thanks!
what’s the chance of being admitted from deferred, I got deferred…
Just got accepted into Religion and Politics in American History! Anyone in the same class?
same I got deferred 2…
Really dk why tho … Maybe too many people applying for my section? Do I have any chance in the regular round? 1580 SAT, 4.0 GPA in a Top 5 Prep School, a load of extracurriculars/awards, two very good recs, I just dk why.
Is there a group chat for that class? I also got in
Religion and Politics in American History
Got in! Session I: the age of Jefferson
Can someone add me to the group chat if there’s one! Thanks!
Same! I got into the Age of Jefferson!
I got into religion and politics in America but I believe I am just lucky due to my essays and responses. In no way did I have a competitive GPA or standard testing scores at all. Please lmk if you are also attending this course.
