Spring is here!\u00a0Last Saturday our office released admissions decisions online, and recently mailed out our notifications. We are so proud of our applications from all over the world! \u00a0We had more qualified candidates than we had room to offer, and many great students were given\u00a0a spot on the wait list. \u00a0For the last few weeks our office has received phone calls and emails from prospective students who wanted to know more about how the wait list works, so please see below for some more information:<\/p>\n

1. The first thing that students should do is log into their Holy Cross account (please go here <\/a>to do so) and accept their spot on the waitlist. \u00a0This will change their\u00a0status in our system and let us know that they are still interested.<\/p>\n

2. Students should consider sending us (via email) an update as to what they have been doing since they submitted their application back in January. \u00a0Did you change your classes? Have you earned some improved grades? Did you\u00a0start a new activity or job? We would love to hear what\u2019s new!<\/p>\n

3. To keep their options open, waitlisted students should send their deposit to another institution by May 1.<\/p>\n

4. After the national enrollment deadline of May 1, we will know what our numbers are in terms of admitted students accepting our offer of acceptance. If it is determined that spaces are available, students on the wait list will be reevaluated by the Admissions Committee. The overall academic and personal record will be considered, as will the level of interest the student has expressed in attending Holy Cross.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope that this information helps students and their families better understand our process. \u00a0Please do keep in touch with us via phone (508-793-2443), email (admissio@holycross.edu),\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, and Twitter<\/a>; we would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
