<p>hey everyone,</p>
<p>i swear i'm usually a very casual person but i didn't get my carleton letter yet, and everyone else seems to have received acceptance/waitlist letters, so i'm driving myself crazy. if we didn't receive a letter today, does that mean REJECTION?! i live in upstate NY, if that matters.</p>
<p>sorry for being neurotic! thanks for your opinions!</p>
<p>I feel the same. I live in Florida, I know someone here had already got the acceptance letter. And since they send acceptance buy express and rejection by regular mail, I feel negative about the whole thing.</p>
<p>ijfsiajisjjiaskfoa great. i really hope you get accepted! but if it turns out we both get a no, let’s create a club or something :P</p>
<p>sure, we will:)</p>
<p>I think I have solid grades. but they reject people with good stats, so I can’t tell.</p>
<p>word, same here!! i mean, i don’t really have an intense hook, but i have good enough grades/stats/i visited and interviewed (it was my best interview too), so i thought i would at least get waitlisted? haha, this is making me insane :P</p>
<p>Lol, I visited and did the interview, and so ture, at least waitlist… So mad about not recieving any information. What other schools you are considering?</p>
<p>yeah. also, carleton is one of the schools i’m applying to that’s not in the northeast, so being from new york isn’t even a disadvantage! why didn’t we get anything?! commence hyperventilation sequence… :P</p>
<p>i also applied to kenyon, williams, haverford, vassar, and middlebury. middlebury actually accepted me last week, for which i am very grateful…note to carleton admissions: please follow suit 
haha. where’d you apply?</p>
<p>Oh calm down you two. I’ve asked and all decisions were mailed the same day and all decisions will receive a letter. So be patient. :)</p>
<p>Son’s big envelope (which he has not opened yet, as he had a very busy day and wanted to nap 10 minutes) was NOT express mail but regular mail, in case that helps.</p>
<p>eyevand – funny, during the application process, when all my friends were freaking out, i gave them that advice all the time! i was the relaxed one…oh, how the tables have turned 
but that is good advice, indeed.</p>
<p>neumes – that causes me temporary relief! thank you! 
and congratulations to your son!</p>
<p>I just saw they were talking about how Carleton facebook says all decisons were mailed on Friday and Saturday, I guess our letters were malied on Saturday.
I applied schools like Cornell and Princeton but also several liberal art colleges like Carleton. I got accepted by Colgate. But after the visiting, I absolutely like Carleton more.
I also applied williams, but I didn’t get an early write. TT</p>
<p>Thanks neumes and eyevand, I guess I will be relieved for a day.</p>
<p>hey, no worries, i didn’t get an early write to williams either! i actually applied to princeton and yale as well, but i’m so expecting not to get in that i don’t even mention them, haha. looks like our college situations are pretty similar. best of luck to both of us! let’s revisit this thread tomorrow when we check the mail :)</p>
<p>As far as I know, express mail is used only for international acceptances (so that people actually get a chance to respond by May 1st). So you not receiving a letter yet is probably not telling much in terms of your decision.</p>
<p>…still no letter. <em>shoots self in face</em> grrrr</p>
<p>chill out…
i haven’t gotten mine yet ( i’m an international )</p>
<p>Decisions for International will come soon</p>
<p>don’t freak out! i promise all domestic decisions were sent on the same day, so not getting it yet is more indicative of slow mail than actual results.</p>
<p>breakfast – thanks! :D</p>
