<p>4 days!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Will the torment never end?!?!</p>
<p>do you receive the email around 5 pm? or can it be as late as 11 pm?</p>
<p>Honestly it's not exactly @ 5 or even closely after for most people. I remember in EA waiting a good hour or so after 5 to get it... possibly an hour and a half. But the point is, you will most likely receive it on the 30th. If you go on the site, you MUST keep in mind that they expect 2% of their e-mails will be undeliverable due to technical reasons (like your spam filters, etc..). So get that all checked out before the 30th!! Good luck! ;) :) :D</p>
<p>i heard that for EA they did decisions in a certain order (ie admits first, then deferrees, then rejects). Does anyone know if that is true or if they may do a similar thing for regular decision (omitting the deferrees of course)?</p>
<p>Hmmm... it seems like that's possible. I remember the EA decision thread following a similar flow. Only those that were accepted started posting their stats first... then it took a while before I saw any deferred stats (and then I got my e-mail), and then there was one kid who was rejected. It's definitely possible, but I have no way of being 100% sure. Haha, in any case, just be happy that it's only in a few days and not a month from now! ;) Good luck!</p>
<p>It could also be psychological. </p>
<p>Let's face it, if you're deferred or rejected, you're not about to shout it out to the rest of the world as quickly.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> I have to wait till the morning on the 31st to see the e-mail I think (due to time zones. I'm in Europe ;)) Or get up in the middle of the night. Mut I think I will handle the rejection better in the morning.</p>
<p>Astrid_pl, same story here :)</p>
<p>I think I can even summon enough will to wait till Friday evening, then check the decisions and go get drunk (either because I'm in or not :). <em>joking</em></p>
<p>Haha, sounds like a plan. Except I'm babysitting 5 cousins on Friday, so it's probably not such a good idea after all.</p>
<p>Ooo, this is hard :)</p>
<p>Perhaps, you can wait till Saturday evening. What say you?</p>
<p>Maybe I should read it in the morning and then drink the 5 dl of ABSOLUT I have hidden behind my desk (no kidding) before I go to school. I only have French and Norwegian on Fridays anyway, so I doubt anybody would notice :)</p>
<p>'ello ev'ryonn, ai emm Frrrench and ai ztink! :D</p>
<p>Hm... never enjoyed getting drunk with vodka. Too quickly :)</p>
<p>"so I doubt anybody would notice" - just don't breathe towards anyone!</p>
<p>I and my friends are thinking of stopping on a bottle o' good red wine.</p>
<p>Man, I have the Science Olympiad state competition on Saturday, so I'll have to time it so the hangover doesn't last past Friday morning.</p>
<p>Aa.... I suggest they postpone the Olympiad :D</p>
<p>I had my National right before MIT decisions... that was one hell of a contrast between moods... First Prize and Rejection
I guess Harvard can more than make up for that. :)</p>
<p>...and the saddest part is that my nickname is NO MORE RELEVANT!</p>
<p>MIT-rejection sucks :( But look at it this way, the 7-year old daughter of the only MIT-graduate I know beat me at scrabble last time i was her babysitter. (The sad part is I'm not even kidding. Granted, I didn't count the double and triple points for me, and her spelling was sometimes a little off, but still) </p>
<p>As for the vodka: my point exactly. I usually prefer wine or champagne (High maintenance? me? :D), but I am NOT getting up extra early to be miserable, so I figured I'll get drunk on the bus to school. This means i'll have less time to do it, hence the vodka solution.</p>
<p>LOL! So pragmatic :)</p>
<p>btw, did MIT accept you?</p>
<p>Who, me? I never applied. Wanna PM me your stats?</p>
<p>sure! (chars chars chars)</p>
