Halo applied to three schools EA and although MOST schools have released EA and ED decisions, none of his three have yet. So many of his friends applied to regional state schools with rolling decisions. People keep asking me if he has decided where he's going. He hasn't gotten any admissions decisions yet and the other 4 schools he will apply to won't release decisions until late March.
HOWEVER, Kalamazoo College is supposed to mail decisions tomorrow. The University of Michigan traditionally released decisions on the "teen" Friday of the month, but they did not release decisions last Friday as hoped. The U of M forum on CC is going absolutely crazy because these kids want to know. They are bombarding U of M live chat and the admissions office with phone calls. At this point, the admissions office put a voicemail message up that decisions will not be released today and they are working hard to get decisions out by Dec. 24th (the guaranteed decision date). Reports are that they have record numbers of EA applicants- 30,000 at this point. For a point of reference, they had 42,000 EA and RD applicants combined last year. That's insanity! The admissions office has posted they are closed tomorrow from noon to 3 pm so there is speculation they are releasing decisions at that time. It does seem awfully heartless to release decisions on Christmas Eve. For many kids, this could be a first rejection and that would be a tough time to get that.
His third school, Albion, may have totally messed up his application. Halo doesn't care about this school enough to try to make sure they have it right. If they have his application and all materials, he should have a decision by Jan. 15th.
