<p>For those of us who have waited to this day, how are you going to mail in your contract?</p>
<p>With snail mail by tomorrow (4/8) or the latest 4/9?
UPS, Fedex and by what time?</p>
<p>Are Admissions Offices open on Sunday to accept hand delivery for people living close by?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In most cases - no. Same for Saturdays. If you can walk over - do it today.</p>
<p>Can’t you just email the AO with your decision, and then mail the contract on the 11th by fedex ? I was under the impression that this was OK.</p>
<p>Probably - Depends on the school. We did since the date fell on a Saturday last year, I think - but results vary by school. Frankly, I don’t think any school is that mean spirited since the 10th falls on a Sunday. They’ll be flooded with envelopes on Monday.</p>
<p>Still - he asked if someone would be in the office to take a letter on Sunday and I think - highly unlikely.</p>
<p>At most schools, you can let them know of your decision to attend and mail it on Monday. Fedex is not necessary.</p>
<p>Thanks all. The reason I was thinking of Sunday drop-off is because I still cannot decide, and more time hopefully can let me become more informed. There could be that cold feet feeling as well. I cannot jump and better someone pushes me off the cliff.</p>
<p>hootoo, I think different schools have different policies. Some schools will be open specifically for this on Sunday, some schools say postmarked on Monday is fine. Why don’t you shoot them an email and see what they say?</p>
<p>@Everyone: Please update the matriculation thread when you decide, so you can start to learn who your new classmates will be! :-)</p>
<p>I phoned the admissions office this morning with the very same question. I was told the 4/11 date is critical, so I USPS overnight for Saturday delivery.</p>
<p>I confirmed too - for PEA 4/11 is in deed critical. I will do USPS overnight too tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>I mailed my enrollment contract on April 8th (GMT +8 time - international applicant), but I am worried that it won’t get to the admissions office until after April 10th. Will this be a big problem?</p>
<p>@vivsters, If you picked Choate, you can let them know of your intentions through your GoChoate acct. Go back to your aceptance letter on line. There you will find a link to inform the AO. This will hold your spot and they will know your signed contract is in the mail.</p>
<p>I’ve already called the admissions office with my decision, is that okay? Or should I still email them to make sure?</p>
<p>Never hurts to have a paper trail. :)</p>
<p>Just back from post office - USPS overnight arrival on Monday. It is now finally over.</p>
<p>What did you decide, hootoo? What finally helped you make a decision?</p>
<p>As I finally ran out of the clock, I knew I had to do something dramatic - so I wrote “M” and “E” on two little pieces of paper and rolled them up. The first draw was “M”, so I put it back and tried again. Guess what, it was “M” again. I knew that was special but I also realized I had never got something right twice in my life before, so I grabbed the “E” and decided then this had to be it. :D</p>
<p>^^ true story btw, especially the “M&M” part.</p>
<p>I think in the end, it is the availability of more of my Sports in Exeter, and better balance of its course offerings. I feel I lost something already not able to attend Milton, as it is a terrific school.</p>
<p>Exeter has just gained a great student - with a wicked sense of humor! All the best to you, hootoo!</p>
<p>^^ Love the story, hootoo, as always. My dad actually gave me some advice long ago that echoes what you did: toss a penny up in the air, heads for one decision, tails for the other. While it is in the air, listen to what you hear yourself <em>hoping</em> it will be. That is the right answer.</p>
<p>Congratulations hootoo! Exeter will never be the same (and will be better for it)! :)</p>
