<p>Does anyone have any ideas of what the cutoff distance for getting the letters today is? (100 miles? 300 miles? not that distance tells the whole story). </p>
<p>My mom told me the mail already came today but I think she’s lying. (Or maybe I’m just in denial :-)</p>
<p>I can tell you that we are about 135-140 miles from Swat and it took two days for letters to arrive. I think that anything more than an hour’s drive will take two days, but at least they’re out on Wednesday this year and many people will have them by Saturday.</p>
<p>i live within 30 miles so I got mine quickly; hope for a medium sized envelope maybe 5 x 7 with a letter of acceptance, financial aid page, and a financial aid handbook</p>
<p>Haha, I’m already filling in the stats bit of the template Kai posted to take my mind off things…</p>
<p>I believe you get rid of all the spaces for it to work correctly but I’m not completely sure.</p>
<p>I’m definitely filling the template out now, because I’ll be too jittery to do it if I get in and too sad to do it if I don’t. hahaha. and yeah, spaces need to be removed in the actual posts in order for the coding to work.
eeeek!! so nervous…</p>
<p>I hope international emails come tomorrow… If they don’t I just might call Admissions.</p>
<p>Do you guys received an email or a call or anything like that before you actually got the mail package, or you just received it with a big surprise?</p>
<p>p.s.: I am an international applicant</p>
<p>I’m sooooooooooooo nervous about the decision…</p>
<p>^ Applicants living overseas are notified by email, since there’s no telling how long a letter might take. I’m hoping it’ll come by this coming afternoon EST, which should be when I wake up tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>I’m at school, obsessively refreshing this site on my phone. aaaahhh!!!</p>
<p>Avacado18 I am doing the exact same thing at my school! I’m sitting in independent study, and I can’t even study!</p>
<p>Deferred.
But I’m okay with it considering that my Why Swarthmore was completely generic and unimaginative and even downright boring.
Plus, my stats are mediocre and I have absolutely no hooks.
I think Swat was being very kind in putting me on the waitlist.
Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Hi all! I’m so excited / nervous but I live in Florida so I really hope it doesn’t take too long to get here!!!</p>
