No letter today=rejection/waitlist?

<p>If we haven't recieved anything from Vandy by today, is it very likely that we aren't in or is more likely that the mail is being stupid and taking forever. I am 4 hours away from Nashville. My mail usually comes to STL, before coming to my town (in Illinois). Should I assume the worst?</p>

<p>I live in STL and I haven’t received a letter yet…my friend who lives 10 minutes away got her waitlist letter already…:(</p>

<p>i’m in the same boat as you and I know how you feel. From what i’ve read people have received both waitlists, rejections and acceptances all in the past couple of days which leads me to believe the post offfice is just bad. Plus, there’s no reason to assume Vandy sent out letters in any particular order.</p>

<p>Still no letter in Memphis. The strange thing is that regular first class mail makes it to/from out of town in 3 business days 99% of the time! Must be the huge mailings from all the schools slowing down the process.</p>

<p>So if you live in a city where people have been accepted/denied/waitlisted and you haven’t heard anything, it is safe to say what timeflew suggested. But you never know, i guess.</p>

<p>yeah i haven’t got any letter yet and have been reading the threads, and there seems to be no pattern at all to the acceptances/rejections/waitlist letters in different places. someone on one thread suggested that it might be by school, like, Blair v. Peabody v. Arts and Sciences or whatever, but I have no idea. I applied into Peabody and haven’t heard anything, while a few of my friends from all over the country who applied to arts and sciences have heard. i don’t know though, i guess i will call tomorrow morning. does anybody know what time the admissions office opens?</p>

<p>Just wait for the letter people. Go outside or something if you’re someplace where its nice. (About 67, sunny, and beautiful here in Nashville)</p>

<p>timeflew, i used to live in memphis!!! what school do you go to?</p>

<p>i live in NH…no mail today</p>

<p>No mail in Virginia, yet.</p>

<p>I was told they open at 8.</p>

<p>Well. Priority mail in the contiguous 48 states should arrive in 2-3 days. So if you haven’t received your notification, the odds aren’t good. That said, the usual disclaimer applies: with the number of acceptances sent out, at least one person will just be the victim of a postal service delay–and it could be you. Prepare yourself, but don’t give up.</p>

<p>yeah I’m pretty sure that St. Louis just has a terrible post office. I know some kids here got letters, but not me!! I called the delivery office, they had no idea where it was. I called admissions and they said that if you don’t get it tomorrow then your admissions rep will tell you over the phone</p>

<p>still really ****ed off though, this will be day number four I sit on pins and needles.</p>

<p>I know how you feel, ruskibear. Btw, did you apply to peabody or arts and sciences?</p>

<p>I haven’t received my letter (Oklahoma; A&S). Based on other decisions I have recently received, I highly doubt I will be accepted. Is it just me, or does calling to have a live person tell you that you were rejected sound incredibly awkward?</p>

<p>i mentioned this on the other board but i live 2 hours from carnegie mellon
they mailed everything last wednesday and i didnt get my acceptance till yesterday
so i havent lost hope on vandy yet</p>

<p>only on CC do people worry about such meaningless things. just enjoy whats left of your last Wednesday in March and find out tomorrow.</p>

<p>My D didn’t get anything yet either in Chicago. She got into Notre Dame, Northwestern, and Wash U but who knows. She never got notified about not getting the scholarships she applied for either. I had to e-mail them. Let’s hope we hear something tomorrow.</p>

<p>@yahsha33 I applied A&S and apparently from my interviewer guy I’m the only one he’s ever met that wasn’t applying for engineering</p>

<p>to whoever said that you’ll only find it on cc, I’m sorry that I really want to decide already where I’m going next year!</p>

<p>@RuskiBear- from that, do you think that most of the decisions sent out, so far, were from the engineering school? Also, if they were sent out according school, the Arts & Scie might be arriving at different times since many people apply to that specific school?</p>

<p>I am pretty sure that this is affecting everyone. I know 2 people in my area in Connecticut who have not recieved their decisions. Are people even sure it is priority mail?</p>
