<p>It seems Jersee is getting rejections regular mail today.</p>
<p>lolz 2nd to get rejected yah it came in such a crappy envelope i knew i wasnt getting in lol</p>
<p>do most schools send admission offers in large envelopes or is that just a myth? Cornell's admit was business size, but now I'm nervous about the mail! We're upstate NY so there's no hope for today.</p>
<p>D got her acceptance last yr on a Friday. Large white priority envelope. I think they were also sent out on Wednesday, like this yr. My understanding is that Priority is usually "2-3 days." If your area has a well-staffed post office & system, than you might get it in 1 day, as the OP did, but even in-state is usually 2 days for Priority.</p>
<p>Not getting mail within the 2 days does not necessarily mean bad news. Priority mail is not guaranteed; I have mailed letters priority mail (with tracking) only 150 miles away and they have sometimes taken a week. So don't panic if you don't receive anything tomorrow!</p>
<p>OH EM GEE
Acceptance package in Mexico City today (at least according to Mom at home). That sounds a bit too early... might be a fraud... <em>crosses fingers fervently that it's not</em> In any case, I refuse to believe it until I see that package for myself.</p>
<p>Waitlisted today in NJ.</p>

<p>Were internationals overnighted?</p>

<p>i'll be joining you shortly ;)</p>
<p>ya, whats the deal with internationals. especially Canadians</p>
<p>Me too, most certainly. </p>
<p>Eeeeeps, all the numbers this year are terrifying.</p>
<p>I think Mexico and Canada are FedEx next day.</p>
<p>Last year they used DHL to further points like India and China.</p>
<p>Does waitlisted come in regular letter size envelopes?</p>
<p>Yes, for wait-lists it's business-size ("No. 10") envelopes: 4 1/8 x 9 1/2 inches.</p>
<p>An adcom I spoke with told me all international decisions were sent via FedEx.</p>
<p>Bgrill27 ~ Thanks for looking up Philadelphia mail times. I want to maintain hope that acceptance can still come! And tomorrow would be a good day for son to be accepted.</p>
<p>ohhh i'm so nervous. my friend just told me that they were RECIEVED today, and i didnt get anything..... :/....sooooo nervous. they should do it the harvard way and just send u an email at5:00. i live in central/north jersey!!! only 45 min from princeton. so im guessing it's not priority mail??! someone hellllppp. info would be greatly appreciated!!</p>
<p>Dear sinful,
Try to calm down. Delivery really depends on the availability of carriers & the volume of mail in your particular area -- as well as when the branch closest to you receives it from Princeton, NJ. Those variables can all affect arrival time. </p>
<p>I actually wish it were <em>both</em> e-mail & snail-mail. Penn does it that way, Yale does it that way for EA, & maybe for RD. It's nice to get it rapidly electronically & then have it verified on paper shortly thereafter.</p>
<p>I feel for all of you.
:-)</p>
<p>do they do anything online?</p>
<p>thanks epiphany. that makes me feel better. my friend got deferred and im not sure if she heard or not. :/. i guess a couple more days of waiting isnt going to kill me. after all, ive waited since january. a couple more days wont hurt.</p>
