I am tense.
That is all.
That is all.
Do they send out rejection/ wait list letters today also? (fingers crossed that no one here will be recieving any of those)
They are sent out but via regular snail mail, so it will take longer to receive than the priority mail acceptances.
To: whomever gets mail and posts here.....
Can you please state your city / region so we can know when to expect ours?
Thanks =D

Well. Unless the weather delays my mail carrier, I'll know in... like 12 or 13 hours. Normal first class mail only takes a day to travel 170 blocks, so I'll probably know either way...
Somebody called a couple days ago, and the woman at admissions said that letters were going out today.

Lucky. I'm surviving with a little help from the Captain.
You can use the usps website to figure out how long it would take a priority mail envelope to reach you.
Priority mail should take no longer than 3 days to reach you (not counting Sunday of course). While you can sometimes make the usps website say 2 days, it all pretty random and there is no guarantee if you read the fine print.
Only express mail, with a $16 price tag, (vs. priority's $4.60) actually comes with a real time frame.
Bottom line, Tuesday or bust! Monday for those nearer to the East Coast.

well, 2 or 3 hours 'til my mail carrier comes.
The only way I could fall asleep was by convincing myself it was going to be a waitlist/rejection. However, I was dreaming about finding a big white envelope in my mailbox. Ugh.

Good luck! We're pulling for ya!
My fingers are crossed for you! I woke up early today too even though there's little chance I'd get it today up in Boston.

GL dienkes88, let us know what happens!
Thanks for the support everyone! I hope we can all go to school together. 🙂
I went out to run some errands to keep my mind off of this Columbia business. While I was out, I saw a mail truck and FREAKED OUT. No mail yet, though.

HOLY CRAP. I think I just heard the mail carrier downstairs...
For whatever reason, I'm wearing my heart rate monitor. My heart rate just hit 125.
OOF! That's brutal, dude... 🙁 Sorry.
My hands are cramping from excessive finger crossing. I hope you're right!

😱I ran outside and shouted like a madman. I never thought that it would happen. After waitlists at Sinai and Dartmouth, I thought it was all over.
I'm so happy. 🙂
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS WAITING!

OMG congrats dude. The waiting was well worth it. I don't think that I will be getting anything today because I live about an 8 hour drive from NYC, but I am still hoping!
YES!

Congrats! See you at revisit weekend
I don't know what would be a more impressive miracle...getting in to columbia or the mailman delivering my package to Baltimore within one day.
