<p>Don't try to quantify it. You'll just stress yourself out more needlessly :). I don't think we are nerdy enough to go "HMM YEA WE SEND OUT 10 A DAY AND IF I PUT THAT IN MY CALCULATOR THAT MEANS BY 12:01 PM OF APRIL 15TH THE MAILMAN FROM SOUTH CAROLINA WILL HAVE DELIVERED THE FINAL APPLICATION".</p>

<p>In fact we're pretty random about how many decisions are sent out per day. I think last year they did it in weeks instead of every single day. </p>

<p>Also if they told you to expect it on Monday/Tuesday, that means they sent the letter out Today/Tomorrow?</p>

82

<p>hmm possible...only thing is I live 30 mins from Pittsburgh so to get it Monday/Tuesday that probably means they sent it out Friday/Saturday or Even Monday...who knows...maybe they didn't even see my location then. </p>

<p>haha I am being such a dork tho...I'm like hmm the square root of 20k apps divided by pi multiplied by cos x means i'll get my letter at approx 10:00:34:27:00AM on March 25th, 2006. :p</p>

83

<p>Did you check to see if you had any word online? A student of mine is waiting to hear from CFA, (also in OC). </p>

<p>What college did you apply to? What city in OC are you in?</p>

88

<p>wct, no I actually haven't checked online. Maybe since it's not supposed to be there I'll just tough this one out (I'll be checking the rest online). </p>

<p>I applied to College of Social Sciences (1st choice) & Tepper (2nd choice).</p>

<p>I am in South Orange County, fairly close to Mission Viejo.</p>

<p>Good luck to your student (son/daughter?). We'll see how it goes, and I'll be sure to post if I get anything.</p>
