<p>How'd we all do!?!</p>
<p>I got my letter this afternoon (Granted I live about an hour from Swarthmore so my mailing would be faster). Good luck to all who have yet to get their decisions!</p>
<p>sorry about the syntax fail in the title…</p>
<p>Could those of you who got accepted post your stats? Us ED2ers and RDers might learn something out of em.</p>
<p>erik - how did you do? I’m hoping for tomorrow on mine!</p>
<p>woah. big surprise… im sooo soooooo nervous now. erik, were you accepted?</p>
<p>ACCEPTED!</p>
<p>I’m not necessarily sure how to post the stats that most other ED/EA forums have for official decision threads and by all means if someone else wants to make a more formal thread go ahead. I just wanted to let everyone know the letters are coming.</p>
<p>Btw, don’t freak out about the size. Even knowing that the letter size didn’t really correlate to the decision I was freaked out holding it in my hands. It’s like a little larger than a normal envelope but awkwardly small for a letter that holds something so important. I felt like it was my Hogwarts letter or something. It was so exciting.</p>

Congrats to all admitted students and don’t worry if you don’t get in/are deferred. I didn’t come to this realization until yesterday but not getting in is not the end of the world. We should all realize that there are more than one perfect school for every individual. We’ll all do well wherever we go!</p>

<p>No. not recruited. I don’t think I’m that good.</p>
