April Fool's Day

<p>Does anybody else think that it is slightly ironic that some of the college notification dates are April 1st. What if one of their letters went </p>

<p>"We are delighted to inform you that you have been accepted to the class of 2009.... just kidding, April Fool's, look for another college because you sure aren't getting into here."</p>

<p>Yeah, I noticed that too...I just know if I actually get in anywhere like Princeton that I'll be thinking of that exact thing.</p>

<p>HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I would freak out if my letter said that.</p>

<p>i would cry :(</p>

<p>*I would call the UGA office and tell them that I *knew it was an April Fools joke **</p>

<p>You probably won't get the letters on April 1 though.</p>

<p>Nice school spirit sucharita. ;)</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>zantedeschia- we may not get the letters on April 1 but they should be postmarked 4/1 which is good enough for me :)</p>

<p>yea I think I'll get it April 4th
Blahh
more anxious waiting</p>

<p>just imagine, your decision could be made in the next week, just think about that the next time a black cat crosses your path</p>

<p>lol, I'm really not as superstitious as I sound</p>

<p>thats ok we will be here waiting with u zant zant!</p>

<p>Well, my decision has been made once before. lol
And I think they've already made mine. I think they knew what was going to happen to me when they deferred me. >.<</p>

<p>a deferral is not a decision :(
but it beats rejection any day :)
I wont get the letter for a LONG time. I live in India :eek:</p>

<p>Eh, sucharita - if you get in, they Fedex it. You'll know (more or less) straightaway.</p>

<p>Wow, cevonia, really? I never knew. I thought only MIT fedexes international acceptances.</p>

<p>Princeton and Harvard both do it for acceptees. Kinda harsh on those who don't get in.</p>

<p>ahhh...so that means if i dont get a mail by the first week of april, im rejected?</p>

<p>As a general rule of thumb, yes. Callthecops, though, you live in Korea - surely mail service there is quite reliable? You should know either way by the end of the first week of April.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>I won't know straight away because I have this eerie premonition that I'm not getting in :(</p>

<p>That should make you very happy callthecops :(</p>

Definitely. Though you should make sure the letters were mailed on April 1.</p>

<p>I didn't get any news until December 15th, so I knew I was deferred. The letter, btw, came on Dec 22nd.</p>
