<p>To everybody: Congratulations. I am just stunned at the number of ED acceptances among College Confidential regulars: 14 so far with more to come. You guys will end up being at least 10% of all the ED acceptances.</p>
<p>To NJPitcher: Hang in there. I know the wait must be killing you. Walking to the mailbox is like getting a 3-2 count and having the batter keep fouling off pitches, huh?</p>
<p>I imagine that Megblum and Moongirl are pretty much beside themselves waiting, too!</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted so far! And for people who are still waiting, good luck!</p>
<p>My goodness!
Look what happens when I walk away from the computer for 9 hours! Congratulations to all the evening and overnight posters, yile, wildlife and yudhisthira! NJPitcher-let's go back to blaming it on the Post Office. I think if it's not in the mail today you are entitled to call Admissions and tell them that everyone in your vicinity received their decisions on Wednesday. (Continuing to keep fingers and toes crossed and starting to get cramps.)</p>
<p>I hold the proud distinction of being the first ED reject on CC, haha. I'm really disappointed, but congratulations to everyone who got in : ) You are going to have a fabulous time next year, and you all sound like you deserve it very much.</p>
<p>bummer...where else are you applying?</p>
<p>Yeah... Barnard, Wellesley, UChicago, Northwestern, Pomona, Columbia/Yale/Princeton for ****s and giggles, Smith, and Rutgers, so far. Hopefully I'll make it into one, haha.</p>
<p>My best friend just got in here, I am so excited for her!!! I'll try to get her to post her stats later today :)</p>
<p>As of about noon today...</p>
<p>I'm in! Thank sooo much to you all for being so kind and supportive through this whole nerve-wracking process. I'm beyond excited right now... although my mother opened my letter! Rar. Oh well. Congrats to everyone.</p>
<p>Oh megblum, that's fantastic! Congratulations! And, speaking as a mother, cut her some slack. She couldn't help herself, obviously! ;)</p>

<p>Darn. I should have posted my tip about the usefulness of halogen desk lamps!</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>It didn't come today either...I think I'm gonna call my GC. :-/</p>
<p>NJPitcher:</p>
<p>Oh nuts! Yeah, I think I would call your GC. I might call or e-mail your adcom at Swat, too. Just to let them know that your letter still hasn't arrived 2 hours away from Philly and ask if there is something you need to do to check on it.</p>
<p>I called, told them that other kids in my school who applied got theirs yesterday and my mail came today and didn't contain a decision, but they said they won't issue decisions over the phone until next week. This is murdering me.</p>
<p>Ladylazarus, I'm very disappointed for you too. But I'm very interested in finding out where you end up deciding to go in the spring. I wish you a plethora of wonderful choices.</p>
<p>NJPitcher, How horrendously stressful and frustrating!! Did your GC have anything helpful to say?</p>
<p>And to all those accepted already, congratulations!</p>
<p>NJPitcher: Did they confirm that a letter was mailed to you?</p>
<p>They wouldn't do anything for me over the phone. All they said was that everything has been mailed to everyone, and they can't tell me anything over the phone until next week. My GC had already left school, so I'll talk to her tomorrow. Maybe she can call and find something out.</p>
<p>And LL, I'm sorry :( I'll probably be joining you though, I keep getting more and more pessimistic. :-/</p>
<p>NJPitcher,
So sorry for your aggravation! Maybe have your GC call in the morning, explain what has happened and ask if everything is in order. Perhaps they will give your GC a decision.</p>
<p>i am essentially a lurker-- i think this is my 3rd post, but i've been reading this forum for quite some time now. just thought i'd mention that i got my letter yesterday and was deferred. </p>
<p>i also live in bergen county, seems a LOT of people from this area applied ED to swarthmore this year.</p>
<p>NJPitcher:</p>
<p>Did you talk to anyone specfic in the Swat admissions office or just whoever answered the phone? </p>
<p>If you did not get through to a specific adcom, you need to e-mail your regional adcom, explain the situation, say that you understand they can't give out decisions, but that you just want to alert them to the situation, so they can confirm that your file is complete and a letter actually was sent. Tomorrow would be OK for this and maybe your GC wants to handle it for you.</p>
<p>I don't think there is any reason to be pessimisitic.</p>
<p>I am a lurker, too. My son applied ED, but I was "encouraged" to keep it to myself. He got his letter of acceptance this afternoon. One happy kid!</p>
<p>Thank you Interesteddad and Achat for your information. Your input helped him (and his parents!) in making the big decision to apply ED to Swarthmore.</p>
<p>I am rooting for everyone here. My heart goes out to those who were not accepted. Yet, I have seen how April brings good results for almost everyone.</p>
