<p>I wouldn't say there's definitely no hope for getting accepted now. For Andover, probably, because they overnight, but for other schools, it's possible. St. Mark's told me that I was accepted, but I haven't received written word from them yet.
I was very surprised at how promptly my Deerfield and St. Paul's waitlist notice came. I looked at it my very first thought was not in fact disappointment, but confusion: How did my rejections get here so fast? :p</p>
<p>Still no word... False alarm though... UPS letter was left at the front door today but it was for something totally different. Disappointment prevails although optimism has not quite been obliterated... What's the term? 'cautiously optimistic'?</p>
<p>ah yup, cautiously optimistic. :) </p>
<p>pleaseplease come mr. mailman!!</p>
