Has anyone heard anything about decision dates?
Nothing
IME, they are one of the last SLACs to notify–often the last week of March.
Can anyone tell abt what is portal astrology regarding fin aid checklist disappearing
That is interesting. Our Financial Aid checklist is still there and showing complete. Who knows what it means?
Same for us. I was really hoping today would be the day, but absolutely no changes to anything in the portal yet.
We have not received an email from Vassar, but history indicates that decisions could go out at 8 PM ET today. We will be checking at that time and I will post here if decisions are in.
Do they usually send an email beforehand or does it just appear?
We have been through this with many schools now. Some schools send an email beforehand. Emory, for example, sent us an email yesterday saying that a release will come on Wednesday. Some send an email AFTER the decision is released—sometimes a few hours after the decision is released. And some schools give you NO heads up. It is kinda bizarre, really.
Jeez Vassar so aloof and stress inducing
No release……
I’m surprised by schools that wait this long. With so many schools already released, families are making plans for admitted students day and starting to picture their child at certain schools.
Agreed. Our April is fairly booked up. Adding another school will be difficult at this point should boys be so lucky.
Just checked again and the page is blank! What the heck…
We are seeing the same thing…….maybe they are uploading now? Have not seen a school do this before.
9 at night? So strange. Well, if the old portal astrology holds the lack of an FA checklist and withdrawal button is good news, I think.
Decisions up! D26 admitted!
S26 too! This was very unexpected. We’ve never been, but we’ll have to add it now.
