<p>hell yeah!
thank you kikib that’s the best news I’ve heard all day :]</p>
<p>for the people who got the emails, just wondering, what letters did your last names start with?</p>
<p>Mine starts with P.
And I submitted my app the day before the deadline</p>
<p>Mine starts with B. And I applied ON the deadline. Like a month ago.</p>
<p>Mine starts with an A.</p>
<p>I applied a day before the deadline.</p>
<p>Maybe the e-mails went to the procrastinators who sent theirs in a couple days/on the date of the deadline, and admissions probably ran the most recent applications through the system first.</p>
<p>Mine starts with a “B,” i applied 10-15 days before the early deadline (so there goes that theory), and i got the e-mail. I was accepted with the online notification as well as the package in the mail.</p>
<p>maybe they sent to either late applicants or people whose name is in the beginning of the alphabet? I just hope i get in…</p>
<p>Don’t let the e-mail freak you out- it could have just been a random group of people. Or maybe it was people from the same area of the country (Because isn’t that how they review the applications?) Either way, I’m sure there are many people who did not get the e-mail who got in.</p>
<p>Also, webelieve, you applied early notification so you already knew you were in when you got the e-mail, so yours was not an accident. I think he just wanted to know the people who applied after the priority deadline and who had not found out their decision yet.</p>
<p>Last name begins with c, applied on the deadline, got the email.</p>
<p>still haven’t gotten any other emails from them or anything in the mail.</p>
<p>Admit!
