<p>in the past has georgetown mailed the letters to arrive on the 15 or are they sent out on the 15th. also in the past ive heard accepted students and deferred students both receive normal sized business lettes. can anyone who has been accepted/deferred confirm this?</p>
<p>"If you have applied under our Early Action plan, you should receive your admissions decision by mail by December 15. If you have not received your letter by December 15, please contact our office at (202) 687-3600."</p>

<p>I asked alukasevisc (sp?), who was accepted last year, and he said it was a normal sized envelope, slightly thick, with 5 sheets inside. Has anyone actually contacted Georgetown about the date we're getting them? Because there are so many rumors on this board about it coming earlier.</p>
<p>My friend received his Dec. 13 last year. Hope that can help.</p>
<p>My guidance counselor confirmed it, that they mail out the 10th....i live in NJ, so it will prob come the 13th...If u live in Cali, it might take the 5 days, but i don't know.</p>
<p>Where did she get her information?</p>
<p>He confirmed it with the Georgetown. If look on the calendar, the 10th is a friday, so only 2 days of mail travel will happen over the weekend, so i dunno when im gonna even get it, all i know is that they mail out the 10th so they can hold true to their 15th deadline</p>
<p>Thanks Tony. Michigan isn't too far away, so maybe I'll get it that Monday!</p>
<p>Hopefully Cali will be fast. I actually think there is a fairly direct route of DC to LA mail traffic pretty often, so maybe we won't have to wait until the 15th? Hopefully.</p>
<p>Okay, so since I live in NY, I should expect my letter to come on Monday, December 13th? Sorry to rehash this a meeelion times, just making sure.</p>
<p>I wouldn't expect it too come that early, just in case. I'd expect it the 15th to be safe, and then be plesantly surprised if it comes earlier. That's the way I'm thinking about it. btw, I'm from MA but I tend to get things in the mail a few days later than everyone else</p>
<p>LA-DC mail usually takes about three days (experimented with Certified Mail.. the billions I sent to Georgetown..lol!)</p>
<p>they can do whatever they want, don't expect anything, just make it through this week. If ur stressed, just think, if u get in next week, anything that happens in school doesnt matter</p>
<p>That would be such extreme and unbearable agony if some of us got letters on the 13th, and then the rest of us got them on the 15th! Those would be the 2 worst days ever.</p>
<p>PS- This was a really nerdy thing to do, but I sent a letter to myself (regular business-size, no special "first class" stamps or anthing) when I was in Georgetown over Thanksgiving week (just to see how long mail actually takes DC-SF Bay Area), and it took approximately 5 days to get to me. The letter I sent to my grandmother from Georgetown, however (the same type), only took 4. So I'm thinking that us Californians should expect our letters to come no earlier than the 14th (assuming that they're not priority mail or anything?).</p>
<p>Hehe, Calidan, you crack me up.</p>
<p>LOL! Thanks, I guess? I though I was hella clever when I did it, too. :)</p>
<p>"hella clever?"</p>
<p>Oh man, you are <em>definitely</em> from San Francisco! I have two good friends who live in San Francisco, and both of them use the word "hella" about 3 times/sentence on average! Must be a San Francisco thing, because no one uses it here. :)</p>
<p>Ahh! I knew that I would slip up. If anyone meets up with me at Georgetown (hopefully!), get prepared to hear hella used A LOT. It's so versatile! :p</p>
<p>And yeah, it's a Northern California thing (i.e. only the cool half of California uses it...j/k!).</p>
<p>I've got a question for anyone from SoCal: does no one use hella down there? People look at me like I have two heads whenever I use it anywhere south of San Luis Obispo.</p>
<p>NO ONE USES HELLA HERE! EVER! And if you do people will look at you and tell you to go back to Frisco. </p>
<p>Other choices: dank, sketch, gnarly, mainly dank. can be used in a positive or negative connotation, depending on the tone you say it in. </p>
<p>Tlak, no joke three days? I seem to remember it going so much faster when I sent my Part I in. That's not too bad I guess. I wonder if San Diego mail gets routed through LA then? I always assumed it was, because our airport is sooo tiny. </p>
<p>That is pretty smart to send yourself a letter. I would never have thought of it, but I like it!</p>
<p>Too bad they couldn't just send our letters out earlier than everyone else's! Just imagine if you lived in Hawaii or Alaska...or worse yet, CANADA! (haha, sorry, cheap stab)</p>
<p>Ooh: "Frisco" is hella sketch. No one says Frisco up here (unless you're a tourist with a fanny pack from the midwest or the south). As you can tell, we also say sketch, but none of the others. "Dank?" I've never even heard of using that at all. Weird. Hella weird.</p>
