<p>3 more days til they mail them out!</p>
<p>blarg!!! so much pressure!!! welcome to the club i267092- the club of stressed seniors in hopeful anticipation.</p>
<p>Thanks cuppycake! I feel right at home : )</p>
<p>So, if they send out the mails on 10th, does that mean they will also e-mail the results for the international applicants on 10th as well?</p>
<p>Ah…I’m so nervous!</p>
<p>i have no idea louisiana! I really hope they do though!</p>
<p>I just want it all to be over…I’d almost rather hear back now and get rejected than have to wait another few days :P</p>
<p>I hear the last two years they actually mailed the ED decisions on the second Thursday in Dec, which would be today. Anyone hear any gossip as to whether they are mailing today? I will go nuts if I don’t get by Saturday but have to wait until next week!</p>
<p>kwacker – torasee often has good info, so maybe torasee will chime in today. I had the same info you do re notifications going out on Thu. in the past. For S, who was ED II for class of '14, the notifications were mailed a day before they were supposedly going out. They were mailed the first Thu. in Feb.</p>
<p>the orient articles have said BY december tenth. so that could very easily mean today. terrifying.</p>
<p>So, if they were mailed out today, do you think that I’ll see it in my mailbox tomorrow? I’m going away all weekend- if I have to sit helplessly a few states away knowing that that silly letter is waiting for me, I MIGHT go crazy.</p>
<p>The Orient comes out on Fridays. Last year there was an article in the Fri. 12/11 issue that reported on the ED I decisions sent out on Thu. If nothing is posted on CC tonight by anyone who knows if decisions went out today, you could check tomorrow’s Orient for an article. Also, if the mailing was today, some applicants will get word tomorrow.
[Admissions</a> accepts 36% in ED I - The Bowdoin Orient](<a href=“http://orient.bowdoin.edu/orient/article.php?date=2009-12-11§ion=1&id=2]Admissions”>http://orient.bowdoin.edu/orient/article.php?date=2009-12-11§ion=1&id=2)</p>
<p>I’m from Michigan. Will I know my decision by tomorrow? I applied early decision. This is really important, thanks!</p>
<p>ah cgv124- YES!
I am away right now but some of my family is still home. If they get it Gahh can’t even think about it.</p>
<p>Heh urgh guys so exciting/nerve-racking. I guess it matters how exactly they ship it though I highly doubt it would come in a day (my faith in the USPS isn’t all that great). I know when I shipped off my signed ED form I did it through priority mail and it took 2 days (I live in Brooklyn, NY). Considering Michigan is a good bit farther I would guess that it would probably therefore not arrive the day after it was shipped though maybe they use some sort of faster delivery service. Hopefully, I am wrong and we shall all know very, very shortly.</p>
<p>I just called admissions; they mailed out admission letters yesterday.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>And now we wait…</p>
<p>Good luck to all. My son was admitted EDI four years ago, so I know how much anxiety you (and your parents) are feeling right now. He’s already told me how much he’ll miss Bowdoin even though he has one more semester to go. For him, Bowdoin has truly been a life-changing experience. Some advice…sign up for a Pre-O trip…especially one in which you really have to “stretch” yourself. Choose a freshman seminar outside your intended area of study. Join the Outing Club. Look into the Alternative Spring Break offerings and choose one where you can share your gifts with others. Check out the McKeen Center for the Common Good. You have lots of hard, but very rewarding years of study ahead. Enjoy every moment as a Bowdoin student.</p>
<p>And after two months of waiting, you would think that these few days/hours of waiting for the mailman would seem miniscule…</p>
<p>I live in Maryland. Our mail came about 2 pm today and nothing from Bowdoin yet. Hopefully tomorrow.</p>
<p>Yes, the waiting is really hard. Last Feb., S knew his ED II decision probably would come Sat. (central NJ), but we had a huge snow storm and the mail carrier never came that day, so he didn’t find out until Mon. afternoon. Fortunately, it was happy news.</p>
<p>Good luck to all – and remember, even if your envelopes don’t contain an acceptance, it’s not the end of the world. Really. As terrific a college as Bowdoin is, there are a number of others like it and with such low acceptance rates at all those fine, small schools, being turned down by one doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be accepted by others when you apply RD. With so many well-qualified applicants, the schools have to make some very hard decisions and the same student may fall on different sides of the line at different schools.</p>
