<p>@jamorquai: I think it’s a mistake too…</p>
<p>I don’t think it means anything. I got a likely letter and I don’t get the e-mails…</p>
<p>TheRoad , btw amazing book. I never saw my H cry while reading before or since. Ask your parents not to open you decision! That’s not right, you deserve the honor of finding oout first. S gets his college info mailed to BS, he will have to remember to ammend that before graduation!</p>
<p>The only person I’ve heard of getting these “emails” is Gtown2014… I wouldn’t put too much trust in it. </p>
<p>That, or I’m just freaking out cause I haven’t gotten anything.</p>
<p>Why would they send those out to accepted students? Wouldn’t that only be to committed students?</p>
<p>Gtown2014 has 4 posts, all of them about these ‘emails’. It’s either that he/she is ■■■■■■■■ or that it was a mistake on admissions’ part. I’m guessing it’s the former. It’s almost certainly not a sign of acceptance nor is it a sign of rejection for those of us who have yet to receive these public safety emails. For one, if these emails really were sent out to any appreciable number of accepted applicants, you’d witness a collective overreaction here on CC. It also doesn’t make sense, as some of you have pointed out, for colleges to begin sending out these emails to admitted students. They’re almost certain to wait until students enroll and even then, these alerts will come through the email address assigned to you by the school (@georgetown.edu) and not through the email address you used in order to apply. </p>
<p>I call serious BS.</p>

I know! It’s so…how should I say it? McCarthy certainly is a word-genius…all his words add to the plethora of images that place you beside the characters. And such imagination too!</p>
<p>And, yes, it’s not right but their argument is that they will be paying for the tuition so they have the right to know too…! I told them that I want to be able to open the envelops first…don’t know whether they will let it be or not…hopefully they do. :(</p>
<p>The Road - get your parents to watch Billy Elliot (the movie, not the play). He auditions for a ballet school. It’s SO touching when he gets his letter. </p>
<p>He walks in from school.
His family is all sitting around the table, doing nothing, staring at him.
He spies the (small) envelope propped against condiments on the table.
He picks it up, glances wistfully at his family (you can HEAR his thoughts).
He goes in his room and shuts the door.
The family waits.
They light cigarettes.
They look at each other, and the door.
They can’t TAKE it anymore and TEAR over to his room and THROW open the door.
He looks up, in tears.
We’re all SURE he’s been rejected.
He’s SO quiet …“I got in”. </p>
<p>It’s the BEST. They’d SURELY let you have this moment if they watched this.</p>
<p>We watched that so long ago, I’m sure they don’t remember what it’s about. (you’re talking to a family that is obsessed with not just books but with movies as well…most of us are avid movie-watcher even on weekdays when we have tests the next day, haha) </p>
<p>And, I really enjoyed that scene too because you could understand why the kid is so torn; he is overjoyed, of course, but at the same time, he is torn because his acceptance brings down what his father believed in (the strike seeing the father has to work again) and he realizes that it’s going to be expensive.</p>
<p>The best, uplifting part of the movie is right after that scene when you see the father running up the hill (you see it from the top of the hill and he comes up into the view) and he runs to his friends and yells out the news. I think this is what defines my parents. They are so wrapped up in the mood too I guess and cannot resist their curiosity.</p>
<p>The funniest twist was when in the end, his little childhood friend is sitting next to his brother to watch the performance hahahah…well, it was kinda awkward too because he had his partner with him.</p>
<p>i got e-mails too and not only about public safety, also about a memorial service at Gaston Hall, and weekend events and one today about the library, i was deferred EA but i’m sure it’s just a mistake</p>
<p>are they only snail-mailed or can we access the decisions somewhere online?</p>
<p>Sigh, read the threads before asking again. You will be emailed if you are an international without a residence address in the US. All other applicants will be snail mailed.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! I’m in my second year at Georgetown. I received my acceptance letter on March 29, 2008. I just wanted to give everyone an idea of when decision letters have arrived in the past. Good luck and Hoya Saxa!!</p>
<p>^Thanks! I hope it comes then or earlier for this year too :D</p>
<p>I have no idea why I’m anxiously awaiting decisions. I’m almost certain that I’ll be rejected at SFS.</p>
<p>does anyone have an update on when they are sending the letters?</p>
<p>My college counselor told me that Georgetown sent the letters off today.
If you live in the Mid-Atlantic, you should receive yours on Saturday (my friend received mail today from American that was sent on the 23rd, for example). Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Bleh does that mean that New England will get decisions Monday? :(</p>
<p>that would be awesome, im in VA so Saturday is when I would get it</p>
<p>AAAAHHHHHHHHHH. </p>
<p>This is no good. I live in NY, so maybe Saturday (or, if Fate decides to screw me over yet again, Monday). ■■■.</p>
<p>Wow! Does that mean I should expect a letter in my mailbox on Tuesday? Maybe Wednesday?</p>
<p>Any day before April 1 would be very calming and reassuring ( :</p>
<p>Blegh. I really hate snail mail. My postwoman is so erratic. Sometimes she comes at 1pm, sometimes she comes at 4pm.
And I have to walk a couple hundred feet to get to my mail box (I live in a cul-de-sac). The neighborhood kids are always running around and staring at me as I walk back and forth between my house and the mail box haha</p>
