<p>Large envelope, big blue folder inside.</p>
<p>in houston... haven't gotten anything yet.</p>
<p>ahhh I'm in Europe...I guess I won't get anything tomorrow.</p>
<p>Oh dear, I'm thinking that people in WA will get theirs tomorrow...I have no idea what to expect. Congrats, Lupe, washableglue, and treesnogger (love your name)!</p>
<p>Hahaha I keep imagining getting mine on April Fool's day, with a letter that says "CONGRATS...you've been rejected."</p>
<p>Challenging101, it came in a 9x12 white envelope with USPS Priority Mail sticker on it. In the upper left corner, below the return address, there is a caricature of really buffed out Sagehen wearing football jersey giving you "thumbs up." Below it says, Class of 2012.</p>
<p>Inside is a blue folder with the same Sagehen that says "Congratulations" on it. The letter inside is two pages long, and starts off with "Warmest congratulations!" underlined in blue ink. </p>
<p>It goes on to state that they received about 6300 applications for 380 spots.</p>
<p>"You were deferred right? Did you send anything after you were deferred?"</p>
<p>Skyhawkk08,</p>
<p>yep -I was deferred... that was kind of why i was surprised that i got in... i thought i would be waitlisted or rejected...</p>
<p>and yes, i did send in additional stuff -2 letters of rec (i have a feeling only one actually made it there in time to be reviewed)...</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>hmm if it was postmarked on the 27th, i wonder if it will make it to connecticut by tomorrow....or maybe April 1st</p>
<p>I Will Cry If My Envelope Is Small</p>
<p>All of my envelopes crossing the country in the other direction have taken two days save Swarthmore's. Wesleyan (CT) --> Claremont was two. So expect it, I think.</p>
<p>No mail in AZ. ):</p>
<p>no Priority Mail to east coast today either. I am afraid that means no.</p>
<p>I got the acceptance today in the Midwest... I actually wasn't sure whether I would get in-- my interview certainly wasn't anything spectacular, and I was stupid and totally forgot about the signature form (and I sent my fee twice... the people in the admissions office probably thought I was an idiot. Not to mention that when I went to visit Pomona our car alarm went off in the parking lot...) But anyway, I had a 35 ACT, 800 and 720 SAT II's (Math II and Lit), 2250 SAT, 4.0 UW (1/700ish) with 7 AP's, NMF, probably less than average extracurriculars-- piano was my big one, and hockey up until this year when I wasn't good enough to make varsity, haha. Band and other misc. ECs. But, for anyone on the waiting list, maybe spots will open up... I am almost 99% sure that I'm not going to Pomona because I don't qualify for FA, and they don't offer merit aid when other colleges did. Unless anyone has any suggestions? I really did like the school... like, pretty much everything about it... it's just too ridiculously expensive--I have to pay for one year's worth on my own.</p>
<p>Edit: I thought I'd add, I liked my supplemental essay about what I do for fun. It was a quick one, but I thought it definitely showed what kind of guy I am/what I do for fun over the summer :)</p>
<p>omg i got in! so excited. waitlisted at williams and swat tho. interesting</p>
<p>got a letter today on the east coast</p>
