How will it look when we get our decision?

<p>The email, that is. Will it say our fate in the subject title, or will we have to click to find out? I don't want to accidently check my email, totally unprepared, and see my fate in the subject line right there, ha!</p>

<p>So what do you guys think?!?!?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you have to click because I remember someone saying she sat looking at her inbox trying to get herself to click on the message.</p>

<p>Someone correct me if I'm wrong.</p>

<p>It would be rather harsh to put it in the subject line, methinks. I'm pretty sure it just says, "Your Harvard Admissions Decision" or something like that in the subject. </p>

<p>I bet I'm going to be the girl sitting there trying to get up the nerve to open it! :)</p>

<p>^ It'll take me a good five minutes. I should probably have someone in the vicinity, making sure I don't have a heart attack either way!</p>

<p>I will open my Harvard e-mail last. I'll open my 10 other schools, and then I'll save Harvard for last. Hopefully it'll be a good e-mail...</p>

<p>This is why I didnt put my gmail as the email I want Harvard to send their decision to - I don't want to see the first line snippet!!</p>

<p>For my year (class of 2010), the e-mail subject line said: Admissions Decision, and the sender was <a href="mailto:college@fas.harvard.edu">college@fas.harvard.edu</a>.</p>

<p>I'm just going to open them in the order I receive them and I'll open them right away. I don't want to psyche myself out or anything.</p>

<p>Snippet would probably be somewhere along the lines of, "if you cannot view this message, click this link." That's what happened with my Stanford decision through email.</p>

<p>Waiting just prolongs the misery. Five more minutes won't prepare you for the finality of the decision.</p>

<p>Also, don't save Harvard for last, IMO... you don't want to end on a sour note do you?</p>

<p>eh is it bad i'm already tensing up reading about this thread?</p>

<p>I am already freaking out just at the thought of checking my inbox on that judgment day!!!</p>

<p>me toooo xD</p>

<p>i'm going to have a heart attack in April.</p>

<p>Your decision will not be the subject of the email (thank god). I can't remember what exactly it says since I can't seem to find the original email. I opened Harvard's last since it was one that I figured wouldn't work out, but if you can't get yourself to click it, have a good friend do it for you :) Once you click it, you'll see your letter.</p>

<p>OOO and GOOD LUCK to you all!</p>

<p>Oh, god. I'm feeling ill just thinking about it. :|</p>

<p>So what you're saying is our online decisions are e-mail only, not on the website?</p>

<p>Yikes.</p>

<p>Somehow I find that much more nerve-wracking...</p>

<p>If it's an acceptance, the text will have each letter a different color in the subject line, like a birthday cake. If it's a denial, your computer screen will black out and the lights in the room will flicker. If it's a waitlist, the moment before you click the email the phone will ring. </p>

<p>True story.</p>

<p>^ LMFAO</p>

<p>...which reminds me of my personal favorite Youtube video right now: YouTube</a> - "You Got Rejected" - On Harvard Time Music Video, Apr. 13th</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>hmm... was i the only one who checked "no" for receiving an admissions decision by email??</p>

<p>^ You do realize that it'll probably take a couple of weeks after April 1st for the snail-mail to get to you, don't you?</p>
