<p>Regarding the e-mail – I noticed it about an hour a go in my inbox. I clicked on it, it opened right up and I had the joy of reading the bad news. Then I went back to double check just to make sure I read it correctly (delusional thinking) and I haven’t been able to open again since.</p>

<p>@caxy93 ~ Preparing to cry… ^^</p>

<p>For those that got the link to load, did you just keep refreshing the page? I’ve been letting mine load for 30 minutes and I still have a blank browser screen…</p>

<p>Did they release all the decisions? I didnt get an email…</p>

<p>@rainydays ~ i have to refresh … =.=</p>

<p>@xyclone- i found some of the best medicine for rejection (after getting waitlisted at washU) is going through your ā€œwhy (insert school name here)ā€ essays to remind urself u have great other options :slight_smile: just try.</p>

<p>also, chocolate works wonders.</p>

<p>@caxy93, that is awesome advice… thank you!</p>

<p>@Brookie17 I didn’t eithier. This anticipation is killing me. Where are you from?</p>

<p>REJECTED! But at least I know. They really need to find a new way to notify students. It’s almost like they enjoy the torture. They have to know it is a problem linking in! Anyway congrats and good luck. (For those you who got in, you are so lucky to be going to such a great school, great campus; for those of us rejected- just remember how cold it gets in Evanston in winter- have to say something to make us feel better.)</p>

<p>@barvoets- lol happy to help :)</p>

<p>Gerddermit, the server is too clogged with people trying to see their decisions…</p>

<p>@caxy ~ i appreciate your medicine.</p>
