violetpretty --- actually they do send acceptance letters earlier. My daughter applied to Alabama & Ole Miss last year on July 1 - when the apps became available online. She received her Ole Miss acceptance online about 2 weeks after completing her app & she received her Alabama acceptance letter in the mail on Aug 3 (I remember the exact date because it was my bday!). So before she started her Sr. year of HS she knew she had been accepted & would be attending Alabama this fall!

alabama is not all that hard to get into, so she could know she is going there if she has good stats.

AND ... they accept kids really early. not this year, but in the past you could possibly know by now.

I stand corrected. I had no idea accepted students could be notified in August.

I believe it's actually a conditional acceptance...it depends on their final year's transcript.

I didn't hear back from IU until June- and I hadn't even been waitlisted.

^ wow, that is such a foreign concept to me! I almost wish that I had had that luxury, but at times I think it was because of my senior year's work that I was accepted into the college of my choice. I guess there's a tradeoff!

mikewozowski · #**220** 08-12-2010, 09:07 PM

i don't really think it is conditional either.

they admit based on grades 9 - 11. i suppose you could mess it up by flunking your senior year, but as long as you do reasonably well, you're in.

That is why it is called conditional-screw up or screw around and they will pull your acceptance.

Good way to put it!

My daughter completed her 2nd day of Philanthropy parties today. She was very nervous about making her selections tonight. She liked all the houses she visited both yesterday & today. She does has her favorites but it was very hard for her to cut any of the houses in this round. She will know how many invites for the next round bright & early tomm morning. How did all the other PNMs do? How are the Moms holding up???

Tuuthfairy · #**225** 08-12-2010, 10:15 PM

sounds like they are in the same boat. lucky for me (or not) i'm on pacific time so she'll be getting the news not too long after i get up and i don't have to wait so long!
