kokotg Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 They're really rolling in now: rejections at Middlebury and Wesleyan; waitlist at Bates. I'm ready to declare this admissions season even less predictable than his brother's 5 years ago. Fortunately, he's totally moved on emotionally and is ready to get the rest of the decisions so he can figure out where he's going. Just talked to him and he thinks Emory is the most likely non-music school to sway him....of course the problem there is he likely won't get in 🙂 We'll find out next week! At least four more decisions between now and Saturday! Home stretch! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan, which is the transition/move in for all new undergrads. Bought official merch. 😆 I'm at peace with the decision, and feel like we can all breathe easier now.

SanDiegoMom Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 DS rejected at Harvey Mudd last night - he only applied to two privates (HM and Caltech) and they both rejected him. Which works out great for us as we have free in state tuition😂 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokotg Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Waitlisted at Brandeis. huh. I'm not really finding any discernible patterns this year. That was one that I figured was one of the most likely admits (certainly well ahead of Grinnell). The only other one still out there that I HAD been thinking of as a likely is Oberlin, but now I really don't know what to think. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandeis’s higher acceptance rate is deceiving, kind of like Reed’s and some of the women’s colleges. The applicants to these schools are self-selecting, and generally very strong. The fact that there aren’t a bajillion people applying makes it look easier than it is. Fingers crossed for Oberlin.

I certainly don't mean anything against Brandeis (I have a masters from Brandeis!)...but it wasn't just the acceptance rate but his stats relative to their averages as well (his SAT is near their 75th%, and I think that's probably the weaker part of his application compared to his courses/grades) that made it seem like a match/likely. There was some weirdness where they recommend an interview for homeschoolers but weren't showing any availability, so he e-mailed admissions to ask about it, they assured him they'd be opening up more slots any day, and then they just...never did. Anyway, I don't mean to be like, "I can't believe they rejected my kid!" ...but just putting all his decisions together things just look....a little random. Which I know to expect by now, but even more random than my first time through 5 years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibiche Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) @kokotg I hear you. Applying to college is an awful, demoralizing, unpredictable experience. I look forward to grad school admissions, which actually make sense, at least, because it’s the profs deciding and not some randos in admissions seemingly picking names out of a hat.

kokotg Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 And I should say again that this kid is totally fine with all of this. He's happy with his acceptances, and anything else would be a bonus that would make his April more hectic and his decision harder. So while college admissions ARE very often unpredictable and demoralizing, some combination of his personality and his earlier acceptances are making this more of a fascinating thing to observe and try to figure out for me than anything else. Not that my heart doesn't race every time he checks a portal anyway, but that's on me. Probably some leftover trauma from kid #1, who I remember very clearly telling me after waitlist #6 or so, "I feel like I'm never going to be happy again." And I also know that things turned out fine for THAT kid, too. So I keep coming back and reporting results, but I really am just sort of taking notes at this point (I have one more to go! not for 7 years, thank goodness). I mean, obviously I'd rather every school acknowledge how objectively incredible my kid is 😂...but it's all fine this year. Kid #1 is the one applying for math phd programs right now, and it does appear more predictable but not necessarily any more fun (at least not for a super competitive field). Fortunately, waitlists no longer send him into a spiral of despair! Incidentally, he applied to Brandeis, too, this year, for grad school, and they've totally ghosted him. So we ARE a little grumpy with Brandeis around here at the moment. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibiche Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I’d be grumpy too! But sounds like they both have great acceptances (and your son is handling it all like a pro!), so who needs Brandeis anyway?! 😜 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn’t like the area, but what she especially didn’t like was the social scene. She said it was a lot of “rich, entitled, white prep school kids” throwing ragers every weekend. It is pretty common at rural schools for the social life to revolve around drinking, and that definitely *used* to be Colby’s reputation. I was actually surprised though, because I thought they’d been working to rid themselves of that and to increase diversity. She’s a rather mature, serious student and didn’t find that the academics made up for what she perceived as negatives (and, hey, some kids love that scene). She’s looking for a nerdier vibe. I don’t think she got amazing financial aid though. If she had, maybe her mom would have encouraged her to try to stick it out, I don’t know.

And the orchestra director and French horn teacher at Grinnell aren't responding to his e-mails! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahem. Mystery solved about why he got into Colby. He got his acceptance packet with a lovely handwritten note from his admissions counselor about how "as a dungeon master myself" she loved his essay. heh. He got in because of the D&D essay and this one admissions counselor's quest to bring nerds to Colby. Or something like that. Despite the lovely note, I don't think Colby is making the short list, which is shaping up to be UGA, St. Olaf, Emory, and Amherst. It all comes down to the music for him, and now we've got two schools with BMs and then two non-BM schools that seem to really love musicians and have interesting offerings. The orchestra conductor at Amherst reached out to him with just the nicest e-mail ever, telling him about music at Amherst and saying nice things about his music supplement. Similarly great communication and enthusiasm from music faculty at Emory. Which is why I'm currently at a Best Western in Illinois on our way to go see...Grinnell. Hmm. We'll see. I should perhaps have waited a bit longer to plan this trip (we're seeing St. Olaf and Lawrence, too. And we needed to be in the midwest anyway for the eclipse). Admitted student day at Emory next week and then Amherst is flying him up the week after that. Who else is still deciding?! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintinative Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 We're still waiting to hear on honors scholarships from one college. His friend just heard yesterday. So today I asked if he had seen anything yet, and he (sarcastically) joked that the process was being held up by them passing around his essay and talking about how good it is. 🤣🤣(If you saw the essay prompt, you would understand just how much sarcasm was in this comment.

kokotg Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Hope he hears good news soon! Mine is at Amherst right now for admitted student days. Right this second he's sitting in on an orchestra rehearsal. His Dad and I both really like Amherst for him, so fingers crossed he likes it for himself, too. To be fair, my entire in-person experience with it consists of a tour and info session with my oldest kid 6+ years ago. So far I've heard that the class he sat in on this morning was "okay," the assorted panels and tours were "fine. like all the other colleges" and his horn lesson was "good." 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS (piano, harp, conducting) is applying to college in the fall, and Amherst is on his list (sister went to Williams so this would be funny). He's probably majoring in a sciency thing but good music is a must. Older sibs applied with strong music and supplements and all, so I'm familiar with the general process, but none of them was interested in Amherst for music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokotg Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Sounds like he had a very good visit: met a lot of current and prospective students, had a good horn lesson, sat in on an orchestra rehearsal and then hung out with orchestra kids after, thought the campus was lovely, took a selfie with the Robert Frost statue....I was hoping he would be ready to deposit and we'd be all done, but sounds like no. I guess all of my kids are determined to keep the suspense going until the last possible moment. He has nothing particularly negative to say about Amherst, but I think he's still a little hesitant about music there and giving up the idea of real music school. He said wistfully, "if only I could move the UGA music school to liberal arts college..." Unfortunately, that's pretty much Oberlin, but he didn't get into the conservatory there...(it's also sort of St. Olaf, but with some caveats). 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
