<p>@ChoatieMom</p>
<p>Amen!! With Cupid hearts!!!</p>
<p>GR: How many times do we have to say it? LOVE THE SCHOOL THAT LOVES YOU! ;)</p>
<p>For Hotchkiss and or Hill does anyone know when the acceptance package arrives?</p>
<p>@ChoatieMom: Hahaha! 
I am, I am!</p>
<p>@confusedonhades: Didn’t you say that Hotchkiss’s FedEx package would arrive by Monday in your case? Also, Choate sent out letters regarding financial aid grants today, so I suppose it could take a few days, depending on your location.</p>
<p>GoldenRatio: I had called FedEx three times because I was trying to figure out my Andover decision. The first guy said no later than Monday at 3 so this led me to believe I could get it before Monday. However I called FedEx this morning and the lady said Monday it would be delivered so I was just trying to see if anyone received theirs or maybe knows for sure. FedEx kind of confused me.</p>
<p>@GoldenRatio Yes! I’ll let you know tomorrow! 
and thanks for all the comments!</p>
<p>@confusedonhades: Okay…I am of no position to help you, sorry!</p>
<p>@Mexstudent2013: I hope you’ll get better news tomorrow! :)</p>

<p>[<em>] Essays: Essay were great I guess. I literally did 1 app per day during Christmas break, I felt bad about myself when I read about how people spent months working on theirs. Really emphasized my passion for international relations, languages, and Indian dance.
[</em>] Math Rec: never asked, but assuming to be great?
[<em>] English Rec: Great!
[</em>] Other Rec Rec: I read it, it was wonderfully written. Couldn’t have gotten better.
[<em>] Principal/Counselor Rec: Never saw it but she writes the college recs for seniors so it must have been good.

[<em>] Instruments (if any): Piano - 10 years, Violin - 8 years

<p>General Comments: Was pretty depressed when I saw waitlists, but I saw Choate and was completely shocked! Waiting for Andover and Deerfield though. If I get accepted to Andover, I’ll be going there; but for now, Choate Class of 2016! </p>
<p>^ Hurry! Edit your post and delete the spaces! The formatting is wrong! NOW! My perfectionism streak is kicking in!</p>
<p>Will Fededx still be sending Andover acceptances tommorow? That is the only school i am waiting on. I did not get anythingfrom the mail either</p>
<p>Hey my beloved CC’ers. I’ve been placed with the ultimate dilemma. I was accepted to two arch-rival schools, Woodberry and Episcopal, and I love both. What if there are too many schools that love you, and you don’t know which one to love?!? Both are similar and they are both AWESOME. WOW! Let me know</p>
<p>@EHSWFSMBURGHOPE: First, that is a long username. Second, since I know nothing about either school, I will offer a timeless piece of advice: attend the revisit days! Or, ask current students at the schools you are considering; they can give you an insider’s view.</p>
<p>Good luck, and congrats!</p>
<p>GoldenRatio it’s no problem just trying to get some clarity</p>
<p>@confusedonhades: Tell us when you do get these packages, though! ;)</p>
<p>GoldenRatio: I’ll be sure to!</p>
<p>@GR thanks! I picked my username because of the three schools I applied to, Episcopal High School, Woodberry Forest School, and Mercersburg Academy. Thank god, I got into all three! They are all second tier hidden gems. In three years these schools may be considered HADES. I chose them because I knew I would have a better shot of getting in, and because they are not sink or swim environments. But u know Choate is pretty good too!!!</p>
