Has anyone got the I-20 yet?

<p>I called the Dean's Office today and they said they'd mailed mine yesterday. For those of you who've already got it, was it regular mail/priority/Fedex? Thanks :)</p>

<p>I calld there yesterday and they said they didn't yet processed a batch of materials from the admission office and they'd send I-20s as soon as the process ends. And she said they'll mail it by REGULAR mail...</p>

<p>regular mail...I was afraid of that :(</p>

<p>Oh well atleast theyve mailed it :)</p>

<p>I got it this morning. Yeah, it was mailed regular..</p>

<p>My middle name was misspelled. I'm sending it back to Princeton tomorrow. :(</p>

<p>uh, aya, that sounds annoying... :(</p>

<p>i got mine through regular mail too, but i don't know, there was something "not regular" about it :D : it had no post stamp, so i believe it was delivered by a courier or something (but i dunno if this applies to local handling or the whole process )..</p>

<p>Also it was mailed to Bucharest, Hungary, but that didn't stop it from arriving. It was about 10 days from the moment i faxed the CoF till i got the I-20. <em>about</em> !</p>

<p>PS the package also contains an invitation fro Ipo... hang in there, fellow OAers :D resist the temptation ;)</p>

</p>

<p>hehe. Is the invitation tempting? Ooh, and what else does the package have?</p>

<p>no, the invitation is not <em>that</em> tempting... it's printed on BROWN paper! I mean, ok, recycle, but.... gah... I think they meant it to be orange, but failed miserably in the process... mwu haha ha ha... :)</p>

<p>What could be tempting is that in three different places is written something like:</p>

<p>"In regards to pre-or, we strongly encourage you to attend" etc</p>

<p>and i can see anybody being tempted by that. I was too... for a second! :p</p>

<p>But daaah! , they're the International center, they organize IpO, of course they support it so much!! :D</p>

<p>and the package has:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>a 2 page letter explaining stuff, hand signed by Rachel Baldwin (oh, the privileges of a small elite group; 112 intl this year :D )</p></li>
<li><p>the three page I-20
-a copy of the CoF, stamped
-a xeroxed copy of "A Guide for International Undergraduate Students", which has some interesting info (4 ex there is a service for intl phone calls from a mobile phone, at small prices)
-a small, BROWN :p, Pre-or pamphlete and an invitation card</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Thanks for the info Pav.
