<p>well at least there's this to pass the time. lol</p>
<p>Hey, I e-mailed Reed and asked what's going on with the phone calls. This is the message I got back from the assistant dean of admissions:</p>
<p>"We generally do not notify people by phone of their decision.
Occasionally we release decisions over the phone, but only when a
student contacts us and requests this. I, personally, prefer to not
release decisions over the phone. So, in short, I would just wait for a
letter."</p>
<p>Does this mean they're not releasing email decisions? ***rick?</p>
<p>Weird. I wasn't lying, I promise X_X</p>
<p>I got my email! The video was pretty sweet. And the email was great, too. Yeah.</p>
<p>I feel weird being one of the only people who got both a phone call and the email. >.> I can post what it says, if anyone's curious... :</p>
<p>Joycelene, are you an overseas student?</p>
<p>No, I'm from IL, about an hour north of Chicago. I feel so weird, like this is all hoax since no one else has been getting stuff. It may just be, being as I really didn't anticipate being accepted into Reed.</p>
<p>YAHOO!!!!</p>
<p>Rejected from ALL my top choice schools and reed's my backup and they want me! </p>
<p>I adored the video and just got my email.</p>
<p>don't doubt yourself Joycelene, so far you're the only one who can be sure of themselves ;D</p>
<p>This does not bode well for me!</p>
<p>I should just stay off the internet and wait for the snail mail :[</p>
<p>ha! good luck with that.</p>
<p>Same. AGH the anguish. Goodbye CC, until I get snail mail. :|</p>
<p>GL everyone! And thanks! I guess my anxiety over a rejection from Reed (I was confident I would be rejected, so I consequently didn't let myself get terribly excited over the school <em>bg</em> Didn't want to set myself up for disappointment XDDDD) compounded with being one of the only ones being notified through multiple venues just makes me feel like it's all a dream. <em>bg</em> Hope everyone gets good news very soon!!</p>
<p>Son just checked email, had video, and is IN!!! Happiness!</p>
<p>every refresh is a dagger.</p>
<p>For what its worth the emails are still going out as of 9:20 EST.</p>
<p>9:26, even. eastern standard time.</p>
<p>You got in, good news? :)</p>
<p>FYIW, son is not an international student, and we are on the west coast.</p>
