<p>Awe, yeah, you might be in for a wait. I could ask my friend Jen- she moved here from CA last year, so she probably knows. I'll try to remember to do that on Monday. </p>
<p>Swat will love it. I used my boring one- one of my non-boring one totally has yours on dorkiness, though. You know that text game "hunt the wumpus?" If you don't, google it (or Blackle</a> - Energy Saving Search it)... It's this game where to try to find the wumpus and when you're one room away from the wumpus, you say "I smell a wumpus." One of my email addresses is <a href="mailto:Sniffthewumpus@aol.com">Sniffthewumpus@aol.com</a>.</p>
<p>Wow, that would be amazing!! As long as she won't be irreparably freaked out that some random girl from College Confidential needs postal advice.</p>
<p>That's incredible. I wonder how many sniffthewumpuses colleges get? Most people I know had the foresight to change theirs...I think I'm the only one who neglected to. If I were a college admissions officer, that's definitely something I'd dork out about and look forward to reading.</p>
<p>I was just thinking about how cool it would be to be an admissions officer... I think I'll teach for a bit and then try it. </p>
<p>I would think that an admissions officer at Swat would have a Swattie type personality and sense of humor, so I can only think that he/she will enjoy it.</p>
<p>So guys...I was reading the thread on last year's Swat count-down to ED notification--they letters were mailed the 12th! That's WEDNESDAY!!! Depending on how close you live, you could know in four days!!! Let's GET EXCITED GUYS!! Because, as Halima said, our true love is getting back to us this week. I HOPE IT SAYS YES!!!</p>
<p>OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG that's both terrifying and really exciting. i want to know sooo badly, but i don't want to get denied, i had a nightmare last night that they just sent me a piece of paper that said, "DENIED... HAHAHAHA" in huge letters. I'm terrified</p>
<p>Hahah, I'd rather get "DENIED... HAHAHAHAHA." rather than "You're amazing blah blah blah, but we don't want you, blah blah blah."</p>
<p>I don't know, I hope they let me in. Ugh, I know I would really really love it there and I am pretty sure it's a good fit for me and I'm also pretty darn Swattie-ish... I just hope my application showed it.</p>
<p>UGH. </p>
<p>... The good thing is that if I get in, I'm going down next weekend to buy a hoodie and to give cookies to the people I know there (and other random people).</p>
<p>OH MY GOD!!!! I'm getting more and more neurotically freaked out every hour. I've already worked out a game plan with my dad to notify me when the letter comes while I'm at school.
Great idea, Brillar! Maybe I'll see you around! </p>
<p>Good luck guys! !!!!! I don't know how I'll be able to function AT ALL this week.....One of my friends already found out she got into GW early, and Halima said that Haverford's sending out their letters tomorrow-meaning she'll get it Tuesday. AHHHHHH DYING. Also, I keep reading dozens of articles about anything having to do with Swarthmore or early decision. I am literally going insane.</p>
<p>Ahhh. I'm once again delayed! I keep reading this thread with the intent to jump in with something wonderfully witty but... keep... forgetting to do so! </p>
<p>My mother said last year they were mailed the 11th? Which makes me think they may be mailed out tomorrow, since it's the Monday of the week of doomsday/happyday! and everything. Either way, I... am nervous. We find out this week, oh, the agony!</p>
<p>Doesn't the envelope say something like "This is the big envelope!" that is pretty indicative of acceptance? OH, I'm losing my mind here. If I don't get in, I think I shall lock myself in my bedroom, turn off all of the lights, and listen to moody music. For a week. Or longer, possibly. Forget the holidays; it's all about Swat!</p>
<p>Hehe
I like you. The eleventh is Tuesday, so even if it's mailed then, we'll still have to wait a whole day. But, hey, I like your thinking! Where do you live? Are you going to have to be subjected to 2+ days of mail lag time? I hope you're not!!
Everything I've heard indicates that an acceptance is (from the outside) completely indistinguishable from--and actually looks like--a rejection. A couple pieces of paper in a regular envelope. How evil!</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK! (still freaking out...but apparently I'm not alone in my boat, which is good)</p>
<p>I heard that the back of the envelope says "This is the fat one," even though it's a thin envelope.</p>
<p>Yes, I like the theory about them going out tomorrow- then I'll get mine on Tuesday, hopefully. But, yes, they were sent out on the 11th and locals started getting them on the 12th last year.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to sleep like 12 hours a day to make the time go faster.</p>
<p>i'm currently trying to make a model of paracrine signaling and it's very hard, couse, as much as i know swarthmore doesn't email you, and that it is 10:34 on a sunday night, i keep checking my email, just incase, you know, they decide to email me. idk if i can take the pressure!</p>
<p>anyone have any sort of idea how long it'd take a decision letter to reach new york?</p>
<p>(please don't say more than 2 days.)
(or, well, -do- say it if it's the truth. i guess.)
(moral of the story: i can't think straight anymore. acceptance or denial, i. need. this. letter.)</p>
<p>omg 35 hours. 35. Omg. Getting nooo sleep tonight.....
I wonder if the rejections say "pretty skinny..." just to make the rejected hurt even deeper.
35 hrs.</p>
<p>A joke would make it better for me, I think. And I'd rather it say "HAHAHA DENIED" on the back than nothing. If it says nothing then I won't be completely sure... Then there will be that moment of panic while I try to rip the envelope open. If I remember, Swat has pretty strong envelope glue, haha.</p>
<p>The first envelopes say nothing revealing on the back...you won't get one that says "this is the fat one" until April, guys. ;) You'll have to open it to know what it says, seeing as all envelopes are the same size!</p>
<p>Phew. Actually, thanks a lot for telling me that- I was under the impression that acceptance letters were skinny but said "this is the fat one" on the back, haha. Now I understand.</p>
<p>Ahh! Thank you. I was completely dreading finding an envelope without the "This is the fat one!" on it and then not even opening it and then crying and then... writing more run-on sentences! Thank goodness I don't have to go there. =D</p>
