Not only Exeter sending out decisions today: my kid got one for another school that had a link to the decision portal on their website. Wondering if this school accidentally sent out acceptances as well?
My kid also applied to Exeter, no email so far. Are we the only ones in this boat?
@ccwhiz22: The email is set to come tomorrow. The emails that came out today were accidental–if you didn’t receive one today, don’t worry–it does NOT mean anything yet and check the results tomorrow. Good luck!
@thelittleswimmer Still feeling suspicious. Anyways, do you or anyone here know anything about other schools sending their decisions early as well?
Good luck to you as well!
My DD received early email acceptance from Exeter today as well, congrats to everyone!
I am still feeling suspicious, by my count that is 5 Exeter acceptances, I have no skin in the Exeter game this year….but am I the only one who finds it fishy that the only people who have heard are acceptances? Where are the WL and rejections? To be clear not doubting the posters here, just kind of doubting the “oh we accidently sent a few of each type explanation”
I agree. I also have no skin in the Exeter game, but it seems really suspicious to me that we’re only hearing about acceptances. Sounds to me like they are being diplomatic with their statement that a few of all types of results have come out.
Still holding hope for those that haven’t heard yet.
We received an Exeter acceptance this afternoon and it looks like Peddie has their decisions up, as well.
Yes, it does seem strange that we’ve only heard acceptances so far. Oh well.
@ccwhiz22 @LifeLongNYer @jmtabb I also find it odd that we have only heard of acceptances. @goldenfygg shared with me a link to Twitter under the search “Phillips Exeter.” All the results that applicants posted were all acceptances as well.
To be fair people wouldn’t tweet about rejects, right?
@grace567: True, but they might tweet something such as “Was not accepted. Hoping for an acceptance tomorrow.”
The only reason I would find it suspicious that we are only hearing about acceptances from Exeter today is because @heartbreaker called and found that all three categories were emailed.
If you think about it, how does an emailing work? Basically you map names/email addresses to a specific block of text (what used to be called a “Mail Merge”. Then you queue up that text for sending out- in batches so that Spam filters are not triggered.
I would think it unusual if a glitch caused an “acceptance” queue AND a “waitlist” queue AND a “deny” queue all three to accidentally be sent ahead of schedule.
On the contrary, I would expect a single batch of emails to be sent that were queued. Say the “acceptance” text sent to 454 students and their parents, or to some subset of that specific email list. Having two or three separate texts queued and accidentally sent would, to me, be strange.
Yup, most likely one batch of acceptances got sent.
Or the entire batch of acceptances. Let’s not lose hope, though!
Now that would be a screw-up! Lord help whoever made that mess-up.
My daughter received her Exeter acceptance by email today as well.
@vegas1 That’s wonderful!! Congrats to her!! what grade did she apply to?
She will be a prep (freshman). She is our youngest of four and while I am excited for her, it is a little bittersweet to let her go.
@vegas1 That’s fabulous! I understand… I think my mom is against my decision to apply but I am so fortunate to have her by my side :). I believe I will get an email written in Comic Sans (72 font) that says “No” for my PEA decision 
I renew my suspicion, the admits are piling up
