We got an email on Wednesday night from Watson. There’s a tab on the bottom that says status. When we click on it. , we can sign into the portal and it just says application complete
No acceptance or denial
My son just heard he got into SOM!
Public HS in Westchester
GPA 96.7/100 unweighted
ACT 36
6 APs (school only allows during Junior and Senior year)
Activities - has some leadership and work experience
He is very happy…
We didn’t see anything about Merit scholarships or Honors (I know it’s hard to get into) - does that come later? I saw someone got into Suny Buffalo honors college already but they are obviously different schools…

As a parent of a D23/current Bing student. Honors/FRI I believe come separate. And merit scholarships for in state students is super super rare.

My daughter got the email about a status change on Wed. She got into the SOM. We’re out of state.

100% every high school is different
a 4.5w at one school may be what a kid at another school works out to be a 5.2w with their grading scale
there is no universal definition of high stats. completely subjective.
and every application cycle is different so while the CDS is a great resource it is not the bible.
since covid it’s a whole new circus out there.
when I read “oh my student got in there with XYZ” it is not a slam dunk that the following application cycle those stats will be what the AOs are looking to admit. then add in the parents who say, “oh I got in there in the 90s with only this score, gpa, no recco and maybe one after school activity.”
merit trickled out exactly a week later.

Congratulations! Can I ask when he applied? Trying to gauge if mine will hear back.
This way the email a few night ago with the link that showed no status change in the application?
Ah, sorry, the email she received was a notification of a status change.

For those already accepted, did you get anything in the mail after the fact? I’d prefer not to harass my kid to check his email/portals if we’ll find out a few days later anyway. We already had one admit which we found out about when the large envelope arrived…
My son got accepted before Thanksgiving, received notification via email about the President’s scholarship a week later and then just yesterday got a congratulations package in the actual mail.
