2

<p>let me be the first to say -- good luck to you all!
(at least, good luck to just enough people to leave one spot for me hehe)</p>

3

<p>Good luck everyone! MARCH 29th! AHHHH.</p>

<p>Do deferred people post as well?</p>

4

<p>Good Luck to everybody!! I would certainly have a heart attack if I get accepted and not live to see it. I will post my decision in a week OMG.</p>

5

<p>Yep, deferred people post as well</p>

6

<p>Those are my stats! (jk)</p>

7

<p>Ah well, not to foul this thread up, but best of luck all!</p>

8

<p>Essays (subject and responses): I got Toni Morrison and Dan Brown to review it, so it should have been good</p>

<hr>

<p>Oh dear. rolling on floor, etc.</p>

11

<p>Since this is RD, shouldn't it be "Waitlisted" instead of "Deferred"?</p>

12

<p>yea i forgot to change that, I just copied and pasted the format from the EA thread</p>

13

<p>I figured.. people might get confused, though, so someone should make a new "official" thread with Waitlisted instead of Deferred when we get closer to decision day. I don't really see the point of having one four days early anyways.</p>

14

<p>No need for a new one, that would be a little silly (no offense to the H board, which now has 2 "official decision threads.") Shobhit just go in and edit it to say waitlisted, no biggie.</p>

15

<p>It's just a template. Make your own when you post if this one has issues.</p>

16

<p>it won't let me edit. I think there's a 20 minute limit or something. I don't think anyone will get confused--at least, they shouldn't, and if they get waitlisted, they can just put that in Orange.</p>

17

<p>Take a deep breath.. and good luck!!!!!!</p>
