<p>Hey, I thought we could borrow from MIT's format so that it looks better. It is as follows (make sure to get rid of the spaces when you are posting your decision):</p>

<p>I'm so nervous...good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>oh well his looks better i guess. go ahead and use it.</p>
<p>I don't think you can be deferred.... waitlisted perhaps?</p>
<p>How is it being sent? USPS? Fedex?</p>
<p>Pigeon.</p>
<p>(It says messages have to be more than 10 characters.)</p>
<p>Bennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...most of us are really nervous and it isn't kind to mess with our minds like this...unless, of course, you actually are sending decisions by pigeon, in which case I must enquire what steps we have to take to keep the pigeon.</p>
<p>regular mail = rejection? fat mail = acceptance?</p>
<p>Rheasilvia... I am shocked!! Ben is a man of integrity. If he says Caltech decisions are coming by pigeon... then cover your cars and get ready for the poop bombs!</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>will somebody receive the mail on friday?</p>
<p>Hopeful- there is a very strong possibility that either someone or no one will recieve the mail on friday. In fact, it is basically 100%! So, take comfort in that :)</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED!!! YAY</p>
<p>Hello everyone, I just got my letter as an international student!! I'm so happy.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!</p>
<p>So, they have reached Mexico.
Is this DHL or ordinary postal service.
I am in Europe.</p>
<p>Ali Yahya ~ Congratulations! Could you post your stats?</p>

[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: The why Caltech one was more difficult to write, but I ended up writing about my first visit to JPL, and I thought it was one of my better essays. The other one was more entertaining... I wrote about one of my experiences while flying.
[<em>] Teacher Recs: I didn't see them, but I'm pretty sure they were very good.

[li] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: Eh... Being a student pilot probably made my application interesting. (Oddly enough, I've flown over Caltech several times, but I haven't visited the campus yet... I can't wait to see it.)[/li][/ul]Other Factors:
I. Am. So. Fracking. Happy.
Woohoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>was it a thick envelope or a thin one?</p>
<p>Not too thick, but full size. There's a gray/orange caltech pocket folder with the stuff inside.</p>
<p>Congrats on the acceptance :), nothing in the mail for me. From SD cali so that bad?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>It probably just hasn't gotten there yet. I'm literally half an hour away.</p>
