<p>Alright, I just copied this off of the topic last year on RD decisions, but it’s still applicable to this year’s EA applicants.</p>
<p>It really is helpful for prospective students to see the decisions that will begin to roll in. It really does help, so please post.</p>
<p>Good Luck to everyone</p>
<p>Copy and paste the following into the reply. Then fill in the answers. First decision, then SAT scores, etc.
Remove the spaces inside the brackets to make it work…</p>
<p>Let’s make it a little more easier to read by making ACCEPTED green, REJECTED red, and WAITLIST yellow. Do this by by putting Red, Yellow, or Green in where the word “Red” is right now in the first line.</p>
<p>What day did they do it last year? The Agora says "decisions released by Dec 15 07" so they have up to the 15th to mail it, and then it depends on transit time with the postal service.</p>
<p>Although WPI had a similar thing (release by Dec 15 for EA), and from what I understand acceptance letters were dated on the 11th and mailed on the 12th.</p>
<p>i talked to addmit office today, letters are being sent today/all next week with no agora posts before that :( really blows cause im in oregon...</p>
<p>I understand your anxiety! When our D (BC '07) was waiting for her letter it seemed to take forever. We think they mailed them alphabetically because her classmates closer to the "A's" heard before those in the middle of the alphabet, etc. I don't know if they are still doing it that way, but just thought I would let you know that they have sent them that way in other years! Good Luck--she absolutely loved it!!</p>
<p>I don't know about the mailing alphabetically thing...</p>
<p>If you really want to know, just go</a> here and put "Large envelope", enter a random weight (guess whatever you want, put 0 pounds X ounces), put "02467" for Zip of the sending office (admissions), and your own ZIP. It'll tell you prices based on the weight (which you probably don't care about), but it will also tell you:</p>
<p>First-Class Mail Large Envelope Delivery
Speed: X Days</p>
<p>Yea...I don't think that anyone should do that because you might be a little perturbed when you find out. Mine says 3 days...bit you think I could get it overnighted with the app fee that I payed.</p>
<p>I live about 20 miles north of Boston, and got my letter a few minutes ago. </p>

<p>On the plus side, it was the smallest and thinnest envelope I've ever seen. It only had one sheet of paper inside, so when I first saw it, I thought I had been rejected.
Good luck to everyone else.</p>
<p>First of all, congrats to y7bbb6 on your EA acceptance!!</p>
