Now, all that’s left to do is to wait.
All the decisions have been made on first year applications and the decision letters will be released through the mail in 24 hours. For the first time in 180 days, there are no transcripts waiting to be evaluated, no essays waiting to be read and no applications waiting for a vote by the committee. The silence is eerie.
Like bakers who arrive in the middle of night, for the past six weeks, we’ve been doing all our work in private – very precise measuring, some skillful adding, delicate mixing, artful shaping and now, waiting.
To those students who will receive disappointing news from us, know that we appreciate your interest in Holy Cross and that we take our decision making responsibility very seriously. It is the most important and the most difficult part of our job.
To those students who will receive good news in the mail from us – congratulations. You’ve impressed us with your record as committed students, passionate volunteers, standout athletes and even better people. You’ll be faced with a decision soon – we hope you’ll come visit. We’ll be waiting for you.
