Waitlisted today, east coast, withdrawing. I also want to say that it's really tacky that they want a written reply to their waitlist, but the envelope that they include doesn't come with a stamp. It's like a final little kick in the ribs. They're getting an email.

tacky? nah, it's smart! i sure as heck woulda used that envelope for my cable bill.
 
I got the large envelope in the mail today! Then I woke up. Crap, it's Sunday. Oh well, that was a pleasant dream.
 
If I don't get a letter tomorrow I will eat my soul.😀 😀 😀

ACCEPTED!! OMG!


I still do not believe it. I do not believe it. I'm going to stop talking now because everything I say is going to sound extremely corny.


G'luck to everyone still waiting. :luck: :luck: :luck: 😍

CONGRATS SEVERUS!!!! 😀
 
Not to be a downer but I'm pessimistic for myself. TN state here. I feel like if the acceptance was sent priority mail, then MOST likely it would have come yesterday. Certainly there is still a chance but more likely than not it means the opposite. Plus I dont want to jinx myself.

thats exactly what I'm thinking 🙁

though, hey, last year NYC residents recieved acceptances as late as Tuesday.... im going nuts right now.
 
Are acceptances coming to your permananent address like a home address
or to your current address (like school)........

Yeah....and was it just me, but was the waitlist letter a bit....grammatically bizarre? But I nitpick. 🙂

Wishing the best of luck to those who haven't yet heard! :luck: :luck: :luck: And super congrats to Severus--you so deserve it!!
 
mailman came to drop off packages...will come back later with "mail" he said....i hope that includes big letters :scared: :scared:
 
I just called the admissions office to see where they'd send it. They said it was sent to preferred address. I assume that's your school address for all of us still in school. Nothing yet.
 
add another waitlist to the pile 🙁

Another waitlist. Sent 3/1. Is their a ranking or is everyone "very highly ranked" on their "list of alternates"? Goodluck all.
Click to expand...

I think everyone is "a very highly ranked alternate"...based on the, ahem, warm fuzzy form letter I received, I can't imagine them bothering with writing more than one waitlist letter. (My favorite part was where they couldn't even plug in the response deadline date in the same paragraph that it was mentioned in, but rather referred you to see the date written below in the big empty space.)

Tell me about it, story of my life. I think going abroad and taking the MCAT in august put me too late to get some interviews. And the ones I did go on weren't completely horrible. I'm hoping for something more (P&S, WashU, H), but if not i'll accept it and go to BU with one of my best friends.

P.s. your avatar had me mesmerized for a good 2-3 minutes.

haha =)
well, good for you. i'd love to go somewhere with a best friend. i bet you'll get bigger and better. good luck!!!

Standard mail, slightly puffy (due to the response form/envelope). I hope you get the priority mail, Spatulas!!

i just checked the mailbox. had other crap mail in it... but no columbia. i cant take this anymore.
 
just called the admissions office. they said all letters were sent out thursday and friday.

i guess that means there's a slim chance for an acceptance (sent out friday priority mail, 3 day max will receive tues).🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

Oh my god!

I'm getting anxious on your behalf that the #$%$ing thing hasn't arrived...!!! But hey, there's still hope for tomorrow! I got my waitlist letter on the same day a priority would have arrived, so there's still no telling. :luck: :luck: :luck:
 
OMG! IN! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! LIVING PROOF OF GRADES, ETC. AREN'T EVERYTHING..... postmarked 3/1, NC
 
Congratulations to all who got accepted! Son on Spring Break...received waitlist letter today. Postmarked 3/2, First Class snail mail...Chicago area.

Kind of ruined his vacation as top 2 out 3 choices have waitlisted him, but at least he's got 2 acceptances so he is going to med school! So if anyone is NOT going, please withdraw ASAP so waitlist moves.
 
What the **** is this? "... We will not be able to act favorably on your application..."? Is this a rejection ? God that hurts, my first rejection 😱
 
Nothing in Tennessee. After the North Carolina news, hope was restored, but now even lower. Chances are slim.

Bleh.

Just got my acceptance package :laugh: . Now I don't know what to do.......Baylor or Columbia?
 
Anyone in Boston heard from P&S? Thank you SDN for giving me reason to be a nervous wreck. Off to do some gentle breathing exercises.
 
still nothing in boston/camrbidge, but preparing for the worst. i am alphabetically disadvantaged (stupid last name!), so that's the only hope i have left... or mail in boston is stupid.

...which will make waiting for harvard loads of fun!! 😱

The son of one of my co-workers was accepted today. He attends Harvard, but I have no clue if he lives off campus or if he had to wait for campus mail.



:luck: :luck: Everyone.
