<p>Does that mean we'll know tomorrow for sure...If we don't get UPS then it's either a reject/wait list, since they sent it out overnight, right? But there's a lot of snow here in St. Louis so I don;'t know is that affects it! AHHH I'm just so nervous. My stomach...eeughhhh. But hoping for a snow day tomorrow! (We had early dismissal today).</p>

<p>Well, I'm in Ohio which is only a half-day's drive from Boston, so it's pretty darned certain for me. Either way, I'll know tomorrow.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Good Luck, everyone!
I hope tomorrow brings a CW invitation for everyone here.<br>
Last year, getting the CW invitation was more exciting, to me, than all the April 1 acceptances!
I can still feel the joy just remembering it!
Hope to see you all here in Needham for CW1 or CW2.</p>

<p>Sooo nervous... I have never wanted to see our UPS guy this much in my life!</p>

<p>We had a UPS delivery left at our door today and when my husband brought it in, my son and I just looked at each other with wide eyes...but it was from someone else!! What a tease--I hope the truck is back again--same time tomorrow!</p>

<p>Speaker:</p>

<p>Cleveland, which is NE Ohio is over 600 miles to Boston. ;)</p>

<p>Remind me to get off the road the next time you drive there. :D</p>

<p>Oh fudgemuffin fudgemuffin fudgemuffin.</p>

<p>My dad's going to be home tomorrow... which means that if I do get an invite, he's going to know immediately, and then he'll call my mom, and they'll all be happy together BEFORE I am even done with my Calculus test. This causeth me much annoyance.</p>

<p>Of course it could come later in the afternoon after I'm home, but I'd rather know immediately even if my parents knew before me. I don't really know what time the UPS guy comes... FedEx seems to be more popular around these parts.</p>

<p>Can I just stay home from school tomorrow and sit out on my front lawn all day? Seriously, I am going to be freaking out, all jittery and everything, and I don't want to tell people why because they'll ask the next day if I got in or not, and I'll have to tell them all that I was REJECTED (or whatever) and then there's that awkward moment where their smile fades and they're like "Oh..." and I'm like, "Yeah..." Wahhhhhhhhhh I'm going to go cry.</p>

<p>We have a half day tomorrow, but UPS is known to deliver right up to 7PM. It will be a looong day. On top of that I think I have the flu.</p>

<p>beekay: It's only about 13ish hours from where I'm at, that's close enough to a half day.</p>

<p>I hope the nasty weather moving into Ohio overnight doesn't affect things too much!</p>

<p>This was pretty unexpected for me, I thought they would be mailed out tomorrow for sure! kevin63138, I'm also worried about the snow here in Chicago. I want a snow day too (but then I'll have nothing to keep me distracted while waiting...)</p>

<p>good luck everybody!!!!</p>

<p>not sure if this helps, but i keep telling myself that at least if i get a rejection i don't find out the same day (april 1st) as the rest of the other 094357397 colleges to which i am applying. So even if you dont get in at olin, you dont have to worry about any additional rejections the same day! (just trying to be optimistic haha)</p>

<p>oh @ kevin....you said that if you dont get an invite you could still get waitlisted? i thought they only waitlisted ppl they didnt accept after cw? it would be really cool if the former was true tho</p>

<p>pchan - I looked at a thread from last year and some people were put on a "standby list" for CW, so if some invitees did not accept, then you could get invited off the standby list.</p>

<p>We don't have snow days in Texas. :-(</p>

<p>Does it scare anyone else that our CW invitations, if they exist, are probably in the air right now?</p>

<p>I live in Canada and I wonder whether it will come tomorrow. Literally I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight. The worse thing is that I don't go to school tomorrow so it would be the longest day I will ever have in my life.</p>

<p>SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Oh joy, I get to wait all day for the UPS/lack of UPS delivery truck tomorrow! =/</p>

<p>But do we know for sure that it would get here tomorrow? I know they said "UPS overnight"...Is that what they actually meant...literally overnight?? I don't want all hope to be shot if I don't receive a package tomorrow. It would be a very very long weekend to wait for Monday at 11.</p>

<p>Also, does snow affect UPS? Like, with USPS they deliver rain, sleet or snow. Does UPS have a similar guarantee? AHHHHH SOO NERVOUS!</p>

<p>I have a snow day too! Which may be a bad thing because it means all day looking up and down the street for the ups guy.</p>

<p>Especially since my sister is expecting some package soon too.</p>

<p>Good luck, everyone!</p>

<p>Yay for snow days all over the Midwest! I got to shovel the driveway for two hours... The weather has to be affecting UPS and USPS - flight cancellations and horrible roads :(. It'll be a long wait.</p>

<p>.....being told you will be mailed a letter on such such day (and thereby you start determining what time to expect it )</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>...being told that you will get an email or you can check at such such time - thereby guaranteeing the information availability at a certain time and avoiding the unnecessary "nerves"....we are all 17 or 18 - we are "biting our nails" "distracted" etc waiting for (or recognizing the absence of) the letter.</p>

<p>I know Olin does do the "check your account thing" but I just think it should be either/or....this wait is crazzzzzzyyyyy!!!!</p>

<p>Snow Day!!!</p>

<p>(and the UPS guy came 20 min ago!!) :D</p>
