Admissions Come out on Phone!

<p>Dude, I'm going to have one heck of a finals week at my CC. Three high-stress exams w/in three days and the Stanford decision.</p>

<p>I wonder how the person (if it is a person) is supposed to deal with people who start crying over the phone.</p>

<p>^ or if the caller/rejectee sobs "now I'm going to kill myself...". they'll probably direct you to some suicide hotline. Or the stanford psych department <- totally spankin' awesome ^_^</p>

<p>For those of you wanting the excitement of snail mail: wouldn't the thickness of the envelope give it away already? Or are you guys planning to play your ipod, pray, do a ritual war dance, get the coffin ready, etc BEFORE openning the mailbox? (every single day of the waiting?)</p>

<p>I am at odds with Stanford's psyc dept. Its waaay to easy to get lost in their building.</p>

<p>maybe they designed the building that way on purpose. some sort of weird psych experiment.</p>

<p>so..... someone please direct me:</p>

<ol>
<li>What's the number?</li>
<li>When can I call?</li>
<li>Can I call? I'm domestic, but I also live in MA... mail is not gonna get here for a while.</li>
<li>What's the PIN number?</li>
</ol>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>I know three years ago you could call. My teacher's daughter called and got a live person. She was asked for some identifying info (name, SSN, mother's maiden name, that type of stuff), and the admissions officer told her her decision (she got in!).</p>

<p>So when can you start calling?</p>

<p>haha they're gonna get sworn at so much during those days...........</p>

<p>Im calling yesterday... courtesy of michael J. fox</p>

<p>So for RD students, have they get their decisions on April 1st (april fools day)?</p>

<p>on aprils fools day:</p>

<p>Ad Rep: Congratlations... you got in...!
<em>crying of happiness on other end</em><br>
Ad Rep: APRIL FOOLS, unless you were a CCer, we rejected you</p>

<p>^ lol that's what I was thinking :)</p>

<p>I just called and asked if/when they would be making decisions available via phone, and they told me they're going to e-mail decisions. Not sure if that means they won't be allowing phone calls, but it seemed that's what they meant ("Actually, we're sending e-mails on December 15..").</p>

<p>^ nooo I don't want an email decision - so anticlimatic, just like asking someone out on IM!! I'll just turn off my gmail notifier and wait for the mailwoman.</p>

<p>ill take the email.</p>

<p>i'll take whatever i can get, maybe it'll be a big email file or a small email file as befits your status (acceptance vs. rejection)</p>

<p>^ ha. maybe a 10 meg email that'll crash your account for acceptances? lol</p>

<p>Yeah... I think I'd prefer the e-mail. I'd really hate to be rejected over the phone</p>

<p>i wonder what time itll come, eastern time that is, ill prob be in school...</p>
