<p>Regular decisions got mailed today and will go up online tomorrow, so it's time! I don't see why we can't have an official thread with a snazzy format like all the other schools. It's fun and it keeps everything nice and organized so next year's applicants will be able to refer to it.</p>
<p>Type your decision in the blank, and delete the spaces in the brackets.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone, I hope to see you at Midd next year!</p>

Why me? Given the incredible/superior applicants I may have bumped to get this offer, I'd say that I just happened to win this particular lottery. Also have at Amherst, Colgate and a few others. Rejected at Dartmouth, waitlisted at Cornell and 2 other places and awaiting three more letters, at least one of which is likely to be real thin. So, congrats to everyone for simply surviving the insanity.</p>
<p>Congrats to all who got in! I got WAITLISTED, I think the coach was waiting to hear if I wanted to committ to take me off the waitlist....NEWAY here are my stats.</p>
