<p>A final note: some of you may wonder why we are waiting until 6:00 p.m. EST on Friday to release the email decisions. The reason is we feel that receiving your college admissions decision should be a personal experience that you share with yourself and your family. We do not believe students should be receiving this news in the middle of the school day. So we will wait until the majority of our applicants are out of school (3:00 p.m. PST / 6:00 p.m. EST) to send our email notifications.</p>
<p>the suspense is killing me. i was just wondering, is the 6 pm thing a precedent or no? is admissions concerned with the way we'll take the news, therefore we should be with our families? there was a high school suicide recently but who knows</p>
<p>I find this a to be quite a promising news actually.</p>
<p>I do think that receiving the results of our years of labor should be a very intimate experience, one to shared with friends and family members. I'm going to have a discussion with my parents about this upcoming decision no matter I get in or not. Oh, and I'm sure you'd feel much better (if deferred/rejected) with the close company of your family members. Good luck:)</p>
