Welcome to 2007! The blog is back!
Hi everybody! Happy New Year! I hope you had a nice school break and are excited to begin the second half of the school year. Just to recap, Early Action decision letters have been out for a while now (they were released on December 23) and Liberal Arts Honors Program invitations were mailed out on December 29.
For the seniors who did not apply Early Action, our Regular Decision deadline is approaching quickly: Monday, January 15 (postmarked). We already have a number of Regular Decision applications in our office and are officially starting the reading process for those applications next week. (And it is still a long way off, but Regular Decision letters will be sent out in mid-March.)
And finally, on a side note... what a great week to be a PC Friars basketball fan! The PC Women pulled off a huge upset win Wednesday night, stunning previously-unbeaten #13 Louisville 106-94 in double overtime. Sophomore Catherine Bove led the way with a career-high 31 points including five 3-pointers as the Lady Friars improved to 11-4 on the year. And after finishing their non-conference schedule with a 107-69 win over Longwood on Tuesday, the men's basketball team followed it up with an upset of their own Thursday night, opening Big East play by beating #15 Marquette 74-59. Congrats on nice wins for both teams!!!

If a student was deferred, is the date everything needs to be in by still January 15th? What about the midterm report since that information is not available yet?

Dear Scott,
Thank you so much for posting this blog. It's been incredibly interesting for a student who is going through this whole college process to get an 'insiders look' to what goes on behind the scenes. It's nice to know where our applications go once we seal them and send them off and it's encouraging to see that you guys seem to be doing it as fairly as possible.

Caroline:
When a student is deferred, we do not hold them to January 15th to have any additional information into our office. As long as it arrives by the end of January, that is fine.
Midyear grades (for both students who were deferred and also students who applied Regular Decision) also will be accepted after January 15 as we understand that at many high schools they are not available until later than that date.
