Countdown to Letters: 2011

<p>I’m not TOO nervous, but I’m dying of curiosity!!!</p>

<p>Do boarding schools do fat envelopes/skinny envelopes?</p>

<p>@rellielou I’m not sure, I’ve heard of both…</p>

<p>Usually, fat envelope = acceptance
Skinny envelope = rejection, waitlist</p>

<p>58, 58, 58…</p>

<p>I’m probably going to leave the letters on my worktable to stare at for at least a week. I get a nervous feeling just thinking about it…</p>

<p>I don’t remember ever hearing about a skinny acceptance. Groton maybe?</p>

<p>Nearly all schools (except Deerfield and Andover) have electronic notification so it’s not much of an issue. Some time in early March, someone needs to start a thread listing all schools’ notificationi methods with times. Someone did it last year and it was quite handy. It seems like my son found out something every two hours!</p>

<p>I heard that Deerfield sends the best acceptance packages. I heard they come with candy, a t shirt, and a lot of other cool stuff. What about Andover?</p>

<p>i heard deerfield sends green M&Ms. i remember one school, might have been andover, sends balloons</p>

<p>i’m getting ahead of myself. i really need to finish essays before i start thinking about acceptance packages hahaha</p>

<p>Wow. I thought they just sent letters. How would they fit all that into a single envelope?</p>

<p>fedex packages ;)</p>

<p>do they still send all the cool stuff if it’s overseas? (china)</p>

<p>When did schools start sending such fancy acceptment letters? Like, for the past one or two years? that would be awesome- to get m&ms and stuff. good luck everyone!</p>

<p>56 daays
and what about lawrenceville?</p>

<p>I read this thread talking about acceptance/rejection letters and it was pretty fun and informative. ahhhhhhhhh can’t wait!!</p>

<p>53 more days!</p>

<p>52! <10char></p>

<p>Only 51 more days…</p>

<p>omg last time I came to this thread it was 63!
PANIC PANIC</p>

<p>I just had an interview today. It’s was alright. Although I stammered. I wish I’d practiced more in front of the mirror. The interviewer was so nice!! I guess this is what people mean when they have a ‘warm’ interviewer. I asked her a ton of questions about the school, and she seemed delighted to answer them. </p>

<p>I just dislike the way I stammered. A lot.</p>

<p>No matter… 51!!!</p>

<p>I’m pretty confident… my applications were great and my essays where incredible. Just bring up those SSAT scores and I’m sure I’ll get into at least 3 out of 8 schools! Where are you guys applying anyways?</p>
