<p>Yeah my friend, who is a Gtown senior, said that the definitely mail all their letters on the same day. So I guess it is just a coincidence that pretty much everyone who got their letters today got accepted?</p>
<p>no way am i going to call. i DONT want to hear i got deferred over the phone, and I dont really want to hear I got accepted over the phone either. Opening "the" envelope and either screaming or crying is an experience I dont want to miss out on.</p>
<p>No, I'm pretty sure that all the kids in Washington DC and International first.
This is eating me alive to wait until Monday!!!
First I have to hope that it comes on Monday.
And then, come Tuesday, I'm gonna feel like crap telling everyone about my deferral. :'(</p>
<p>There were very few who got their letters today anyway.</p>
<p>I got my mail in Long Island, NY, but nothing from Georgetown. I really hope it's not that they sent out the acceptances first. :|</p>
<p>I swear, if the storm over the weekend delays this even longer...</p>
<p>Another thing...</p>
<p>"Until 1912, mail was delivered 7 days a week. As the postal service grew in popularity and usage in the 1800s, local religious leaders were noticing a decline in Sunday morning church attendance due to local post offices doubling as gathering places. These leaders appealed to the government to intervene and close post offices on Sundays."</p>
<p>F you, "local religious leaders" and your sabbath. Just kidding, but I'm still angry.</p>
<p>Wow, it sucks for y'all who didnt get your letter. I wouldn't have been able to handle it if my letter didn't come today.</p>
<p>this is really killing me, i like already freaked out that they only sent out acceptances early but now im starting to think that maybe it was just luck of the draw...esp considering that more cc-ers haveee to get in.</p>
<p>salpert--if you didnt get your mail, i have a little bit more hope becuase youre wayyy more qualified than i am. good luck everyone!</p>
<p>no letter from Delaware. humph.</p>
<p>DAMMIT! NY10804, We can blame this all on the religious and their refusal to adhere to separation of church and state. We could be getting our letters tomorrow if it weren't for them dang priests...</p>
<p>i didn't get mine either...... why did they do this?</p>
<p>didnt get it in pittsburgh, pa either this sucks</p>
<p>no letter in illinois..</p>

<p>a girl in my town got an acceptance letter today...& she was obvs. getting in cuz she's a genius & perfect & all that.........for the rest of us...no one got anything</p>
<p>hopefully they mailed them all out @ the same time!</p>
<p>shapeofhome, I'll just guess that your eyesight and reading comprehension skills aren't up to par today and leave it at that.</p>
<p>I am really worried that they mailed acceptances first.... :-/</p>
<p>Thanks Lariss :) Yeah, I hope they didn't send out acceptances first... but it wouldn't matter anyway prob because I live so far from DC. We'll see, we can only hope!</p>
<p>NY10804, I'll just guess that you have no idea what it means to be facetious, and leave it at that. God, do you really think I could be serious?</p>
<p>so i have been obsessing over this all week now, and i finally decided to post. i should probably go add myself to the sfs list. i live in ohio... and it wasnt in the mail today. i just about strangled the mailman (then slipped on my icy driveway). i don't think i can handle calling in on monday.</p>
<p>also, shapeofhome, i think you are funny. at least someone appreciates your wit, right?</p>
