<p>I'm going on vacation for three weeks from december 15th to january 7th. I would much rather know if I got rejected from Columbia ED after I get back from vacation. Exactly what day does admission decisions come out so i can avoid going on my email and not look in the mailbox... so if it comes out december 7th.. then Columbia will email me my admission decision on the 7th? Then I shouldn't check my email for a week.. correct?</p>
<p>lol yea pretty much. but you'll get the letter too.
defer/rejected = thin envelope
fat envelope (DHL) = acceptance</p>
<p>whats DHL? ok so skinny means reject... THANKS... wont open my mailbox... so what time approx will it get to my house if I live in california?</p>
<p>DHL is a delivery compoany like UPS</p>
<p>depends. DHL is express mail delivery service like FedEx. If it's an reject/defer they'll use snail-mail. It'll probably take anywhere from 2-4 days if it's snail mail. If it's DHL you'll receive it in 1-2.</p>
<p>ok so december 7th for sure they'll mail them out? or dec 15th? and it'll reach me by dec 10? DAMNIT.. my mom is going to open the mail for sure... i hate DHL -_-</p>
<p>What would the subject be for the e-mail.........
now, that matters.</p>
<p>????? subject? explain!</p>
<p>i dont want a ****ty christmas and new years... cause i'm auto-reject... i just dont want my mom to know</p>
<p>i meant the title of the e-mail.
I'm afraid i'll click on my new e-mails without thinking.</p>
<p>ohh your right.... no but dont even sign on ur email... until after christmas break.. the subject line would say either: CONGRATULATIONS... or something else... so don't even sign on your email cause you'll see it</p>
<p>hahahah i want to see it !</p>
<p>..............</p>
