…which applies to Exeter, Andover, Choate, Deerfield and Hotchkiss from your list says that they don’t want phone calls checking in until March 15. I think if you’re an international student and haven’t heard by then you can call that day.

I believe that, in addition to letters, some schools will use e-mail if they have that information or use their on-line accounts that they set up for applicants…which includes several of the schools on that list. Lawrenceville, for instance, advises applicants to check its applicant web portal on March 10. Exeter and Andover have web portals…though I’m not sure if they’ll update them. Hotchkiss has an on-line service…but it’s not a personalized portal where an admissions decision would be shared. St. Paul’s doesn’t have a web portal for applicants. I haven’t seen what Deerfield has.

This information comes from the Loomis-Chaffee website (regarding the Ten Schools agreement) and note the part that mentions e-mail – which contradicts what SPSstudent says (and what I’ve indicated above in my own post) so, basically, there’s no telling what the schools will do unless you read the materials, the web sites and check with the Admission Offices for each one:

"Admission decisions

The ten schools listed above will mail admission decision letters on March 10 to all applicants whose admission files are completed by January 15. The letter will be your official notification of the decision. By agreement, the ten schools will not fax, email or give decisions on the telephone at that time. However, if you have not received your admission decision letter by March 15, you are invited to call, fax or email to learn of your decision."
