The next few weeks will be challenging. Some students already know where they will deposit. Some are hoping for a spot from a waitlist. Some are torn between a few great options. Others are going to question 'why me,' or more accurately 'why not me?' Others still are having hard conversations with their family about things like loans and 'overall value' - things that are really unfair for us to ask 17 and 18 year old young adults to have to worry about. (But we must, because few things in life as real and longlasting as debt).
For those that are curious, our Naviance stats now show about 46% of applications resulted in acceptance and about 13% resulted in a denial. Over 400 decisions are still listed as 'unknown' so if you are a senior reading this, please enter any decisions that you have. Some schools with rolling admissions are still sending out letters, so if you haven't heard, be patient. Give the schools a call just to confirm if they have everything and if they can give you a ballpark of when you'll hear.
I'm so proud of the Class of 2011, I think the decision outcomes have, for the most part, been really really exciting and positive. Like the Venn Diagram above, much more is still to come, but enjoy the moment now. You deserve it.
