<p>Will they really make me, oops I mean my D wait until 2/1? Did ED folks find out through email or snailmail first? Did you find out on the day they said you would or a little teeny bit early? </p>
<p>I am obsessing over this one. Don't know why, but I am. Maybe it's because I would really like too have that Margarita w/ ignatius and bbalfrasier and missiepie and I am dying to know if I'll even get the chance. </p>
<p>Anyway, I'm so glad I can obsess with you guys and not drive anyone else crazy.</p>
<p>Yikes! Now I really know things are different than 2 years ago. I just checked an old post of mine and D got her EA acceptance on 12/9/06. The wait must be awful (but hopefully worth it). The e-mail acceptance was followed by the packet w/merit and fin. aid, but maybe everything will be online for you guys.</p>
<p>thanks gloworm and may I just say that I am jealous that you learned so early! Sending out a blanket email on the first makes sense since they have no control over the USPS but this last week is killing me. I do hope that it is worth it!</p>
<p>I'm waiting for that margarita with you too, my friend. D applied ED and was told she would find out BY December 1; she got her "yes" email the Friday before Thanksgiving followed by a nice fat envelope in the mail early the next week. That said, I suspect there was some personal incentive on the part of the admissions crew to offload some of the files on their desk and enjoy a bit of their holiday. So for EA, there isn't that particular holiday carrot dangling in front of them. If it were me, I would just keep checking emails every, oh, half hour or so for the next few days. :-) Seriously, I really how you get some good news soon!</p>
<p>Congrats to those who got in, sympathies to those who didn't. History mom, glad you didn't have to wait until 2/1!</p>
<p>I hope some of your kids will end up at TU, but I know some have already decided on other schools. D really took her time and only put the deposit in on the last day. She had lots of great choices and really thought everything through.</p>
<p>Thanks for the congrats! Funny thing TwinK, who had previously been luke warm actually became very excited at her acceptance who knows. It's just so nice to have options!</p>
<p>Adding my son to the list of admits. He visited in Dec., so didn't go to Tif. But, he'll try to make the 360 in March. As I posted on another thread, much will depend upon merit aid, if any.<br>
If anyone feels like sharing, I'd be interested in the stats of the kids who have received merit money.</p>
<p>Yeah for the fat envelope! And yes, it is clever. My D was in ED, but I've been checking the EA group and others to see which of MY buddies will be leaning towards San Antonio.</p>
<p>bblfraser: I certainly am leaning that way but the kids insist on making their own choices...the nerve! Of course I am keeping my mouth shut since they both have been known to be contraty</p>
