<p>no, probably not. The FA office is separate from Admissions.</p>
<p>Ok that is a relief…I don’t know what to do, I still have not received anything, and everyone else on here basically found out about 6+ hours ago… this is making me extremely frustrated… what should i do?</p>
<p>Stop stressing about it! I know it’s hard but I was frantically refreshing for an hour and a half, then not quite so frantically for another hour, then finally gave up and went to hang out with friends. When I got home I had it, six hours late but bearing good news 
Just hang in there and think, you’ve waited all these months, a couple more hours can’t hurt!</p>
<p>Bleh I can’t sleep and I don’t have it either.</p>
<p>And my math scores are marginal for EE (SAT: 700, M2L2: 680, ACT:30)</p>
<p>…but I have a 4.0UW GPA with a total ton of high level math and a bunch of EE specific stuff.</p>
<p>Oh man I’m stressed out.</p>
<p>Well I guess I should get back to trying to learn high level assembly language…</p>
<p>AND NEVER EVER EVER USE YAHOO FOR THIS STUFF AGAIN</p>
<p>BAH</p>
<p>To Yankeefan and others waiting, call UPS, Fedex, DHL, USPS in that order to see if there’s a package for you and if it’s from Evanston (60208). I’m not sure which one NU uses but it’s likely UPS or Fedex (this is assuming that packages have been sent out already). To make you a little less nervous while checking, ask one of your accepted friends to call the carriers to see whichever one has their NU package so you can call that carrier alone.</p>
<p>did that work for anyone?</p>
<p>Did anyone with Hotmail get an e-mail? I don’t think alot of people use Hotmail nowadays</p>
<p>I use Yahoo…and I got it well in time :S</p>
<p>Almost 5 hours after my friend got her letter, but I’ll take it!</p>
<p>School of Communication. worrrd.</p>
<p>still waiting for an email… :/</p>
<p>chatting with comcast online right now…let you know if mail gets unblocked</p>
<p>Did you get a confirmation that they are being held hostage? I’m interested in what Comcast tells you either way.</p>
<p>yea, i’m interested in what comcast says…this is kind of ridiculous</p>
<p>I’m talking to Comcast too. Here’s what they said so far of value:
“It could also be that they might have sent the mail within a short span of time to an exceeding number of email addresses. If that would be the reason, comcast would usually block those emails.”</p>
<p>I then asked if there was a way to verify that this was occurred, or if there was any time frame on when we would be able to GET those emails. He said:
"If the school sent mail to about 1000 comcast recepients at once, comcast would usually block the sender. "
“Since there wasn’t any error that both the school and your son’s email received, it could only mean that the school’s mail server is blocked by comcast. They would have to fill out an online form that would allow their domain to be recognized by comcast, thus allowing them to send mail on a large number of comcast recepients.”</p>
<p>Damnit…</p>
<p>Does this only apply to people with “@comcast.net” accounts?</p>
<p>We are Comcast, so not only Yahoo</p>
<p>I know a bunch of people ended up getting their decisions later on in the evening.</p>
<p>Real smart move on the part of the Adcoms to click on “Send”, do high-fives, and then tear out to the parking lot and go home, oblivious of the fiasco. They are the same ones who deny a late submission of a Common App, even if their was an outage or other technical reason.</p>
<p>My e-mail was squirreled away in my school’s spam filter (not my spam folder; it never got delivered). I went and talked to the IT people at my school and got them to forward it to me.</p>
<p>So it really is our e-mail server’s fault then? BOO HOTMAIL!!</p>
