I know this is not the most important detail, but we’re halfway to M10 and the anticipation is killing me. I know St. Paul’s is releasing their decision by 8AM and Middlesex by 9 but I can’t find info on any of my other schools (Choate, Exeter, Andover, Groton). Does anybody know what time they will be releasing? If not, when did they release last year? Is there any pattern to it? Thank for any help!
2 years ago the SPS email arrived just after 6:00 EST. For St. Mark’s the email was received before 1:00 EST. Hotchkiss was released on their portal at 8:00 EST. If you can hold off, wait until the latest time your schools provide and check all of them at once. For my older son, he stayed up late, but once he knew he was in for one school he went to sleep. Not sure how the younger one plans to do it yet. Good luck with all your schools!
I grabbed the schools and times from the few posters above and put them into the top post created by skieurope. It’s much easier to keep an updated list than scroll through one hundred different posts.
Add in schools that are missing using the “edit” button and the bottom right of the top post. Historically we have also had the ‘how’ the notification will arrive - email, portal etc. None of the above posts mentioned that, so if you do know, then please add.
SPS posts to their portal (I updated the list above). Last year, they sent out an email on March 8th that said, " Sunday, March 10, is right around the corner! Please be on the lookout for an email by 9:00 a.m. EDT inviting you to login to your Applicant Status Portal (Link) to view your admissions decision. A reminder that your username is the email address associated with your account. If you don’t remember your password, simply click the Forgot Password link to reset."
My son got a notification from Lawrenceville the night before which was a complete surprise. He just happened to check his email Trying to connect with some friends for an online gaming session.
However be aware with this “wait until the last school” strategy that you will likely have spoilers as you get emails throughout the day from schools about next steps or admit days or congrats email from the AO who interviewed.
