congrats on ur acceptance!!!
Does anyone know if the schools have admissions decisions mostly finalized by this point? I know I can’t see them until March 10th, but it’s almost as if I really want a certain kind of comfort that comes with knowing that my acceptances (if any) are already in a system somewhere, waiting to be sent, rather than still in limbo.
I’m not sure, but I think they are!
They are.
Yesterday my son got accepted to the local day school he applied to. It’s great to know that he has a really good option in his back pocket before next Sunday!
exeter said they were releasing decisions at 8 am est, and hotchkiss said 9 am edt. Is edt and est the same? cuz i know daylight savings is on m10
Yes est and edt are same. That day the time will change to Daylight savings time which is an hour ahead
My DD is applying to a few BSs out east, and we applied for FA on the new-ish Clarity app. The schools that we applied to are listed on their home page, but one of the schools now has a faded lock icon next to it. I assume that means that the school was looking at the FA application and locked it down. But this is a school that is need-blind. Would a need-blind school touch her FA application if they didn’t decide to admit her? Yeah, I know we can’t say for sure, but it does seem like a good sign, although I’m not going to mention it to her just in case. Does anyone have any insights about this?
I’m not sure about what the faded lock icon means but I wouldn’t get my hopes up because who knows what it means.
I also checked the clarity app and I see the faded lock icon for 2 of my schools which are also need blind.
Maybe it means during this final phase , when they make decisions the admissions can’t look at the clarity app since these schools are need blind.
No idea what the locked icon means, BUT when I looked at the HTML code for Clarity page when logged in, it did reveal the status of each financial aid application. For the schools we applied to, we’re seeing three statuses “Awaiting Review”, “In Review”, and “Proposed”. Also there is no correlation between the locked icon and the status. Some of our apps are locked are one of the available statuses.
Maybe, but for my other need blind schools theres no lock symbol (I applied to 5 need blind schools and only 2 have the lock. And 1 happens to be a safety school if that means anything).
Interesting, I’ll check the HTML source.
I looked at my Youtube channel (which has three videos for bs supplement materials) and it displays “exeter.edu” as one of the external traffice source.
looked at two of my videos, is it a good sign?
maybe
Pure guess – could the faded icon simply be indicating need blind schools?
At some point, they will need to see them for accepted students, but the information you provided should not be available to them until they have made decisions.
I think it means they are need blind. I see the same thing. My DS was already accepted to one of the day schools he applied to and they told us we did not qualify for aid and there is no other icon there.
Probably since that means you made it to the final steppish but no one can tell if you got in or not.
