<p>anyone know if we can findout decisions online? it takes long to get here..</p>
<p>I don't think you can unless you're an international applicant -- just have to wait it out.</p>
<p>Did any international applicant get big envelop?</p>
<p>I haven't got any mail from Mudd.</p>
<p>Same here....
Weren't we (internationals) supposed to get an email first?</p>
<p>Waitlisted, woot! Probably not taking my spot on the list. Got decision in mail today.</p>
<p>Whoo...rejected</p>
<p>Rather sorry to hear about Cider =[ I've been noticing (his?) enthusiasm for the school.</p>
<p>I think the problem was that I just wasn't ready for the admissions process, and I didn't really have anyone helping me along... It will be different next year, though, unless by some miracle Stanford accepts me, which is very doubtful. </p>
<p>Btw, I'm a guy.</p>
<p>Smipims -
Yeah I had a handwritten bit on my letter too. I guess they typically do that?</p>
<p>@Gerbielml : I was so surprised that they had a personalized written note on the letter...the message referred back to my personal statement. That was really neat. :)</p>
