<p>i got my deferrall a while ago, but i never posted this oddity. i received my notice with a few brochures from the school. Anyone have any idea as to what's up with this?</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about it too much. My next door neighbor and best friend (we were both accepted to the College) received 7 applications even though her entire app was already in. So, basically, there's no telling what it means, but I really wouldn't stress about it.</p>
<p>colgate sent me like three apps, even after i'd submitted. weird.</p>
<p>I got a Georgetown app after I'd already applied too. It was probably just a slip, or maybe it's a sign they're interested. (if you don't know, this is netshark w/ a different name...for some reason they're not letting me post under my old name.)</p>
<p>yeah, i also got a gtown app after i applied...i remember cos i was like...oh it's a big packet and I was all confused. But then it was just another app. shrug.</p>
<p>Yeah- I just got an application, and I was like, "umm... I really won't be needing this now."</p>
<p>I think it's a back order, if you requested an app from a while ago and they're just now sent out in a second wave.</p>
<p>dan-- use it for paper airplanes?</p>
<p>Hmmm... maybe I will!</p>
<p>do you think this says something about a bad administration? If they can't handle the mail, can they handle applications and professors?</p>
<p>Not so much. I've gotten 5 applications randomly from Harvard, and brown and columbia both sent me viewbooks after I applied...so really, I think its kind of a universal thing with colleges. My favorite is when you get applications after the application due date.</p>
<p>yeah, it just means that there are probably two departments in the mailing system that aren't always aware of who's submitted and who's still in need of an app.</p>
<p>My favorite is when you get mail after you're already in college. My brother started college as a freshman this year, and he still gets mail from a bunch of places with info like, "Important information for beginning your college search!" or "As you begin your junior year, you're probably beginning to think about colleges. . . " It's crazy.</p>
