We had initially sent in our application Apr 1. We got an automated response, and a follow up after few days that they need additional portfolio items. We then submitted 2 more items somewhere around Apr last week. At that point, we got a confirmation email the application is complete and it will be processed in May pool.

We heard from them last night that DD was accepted.

We submitted DD13's SAT score (which were way higher than minimum cut-off) and portfolio items of her writing samples.

Looking back -- application process was fairly simple. We just submitted what we had. The only pain point was WAITING for THAT email!!

Good luck everyone. Hope you will hear from them by this evening.
