<p>@BigPeePee</p>

<p>I tried on thursday around 3 or 4 pm.</p>

<p>BigPeePee, I like your user name ;):D</p>

<p>beaudisaster, I LOVE YOU! Thanks for posting that! I have a glimmer of hope now!</p>

<p>ACCEPTED!!! Ahhhh, I’m so beyond happy right now! Will post stats later once I stop jumping up and down and whatnot, haha.</p>

<p>Oh! I was able to log into class2014.vassar.edu!</p>

<p>CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO GOT ACCEPTED! And the absolute best of luck to those still waiting!</p>

<p>Hmm. I’m in MN and I haven’t received anything yet. Also waiting on mail from Barnard and Swarthmore, both of which mailed this week too.</p>

<p>I’m worried.</p>

<p>Has anyone been waitlisted? My daughter received the dreaded small envelope but it has more than one piece of paper inside (it seems thicker than a typical rejection). She’s away and I’ve promised not to open any mail, but am curious.</p>

<p>I’m an international and I got in. Now I’ve been accepted to Vassar, Reed, Brandeis and Williams.</p>

<p>Can’t put into words how happy I am! Congrats to everyone else who was accepted, and a sincere good luck to those who weren’t.</p>

<p>@beau:
I honestly feel so much better after reading your post! :)</p>

<p>@swampscottsue: I just received my letter from Vassar, and I am waitlisted. From the description you gave, I’m afraid it sounds like your daughter is waitlisted. Mine was a normal size envelope, but obviously contained more than one sheet of paper. Sorry to be the one to say it, but I figured you might want to know. Hopefully she gets in if she really wants to go because I know that I, for one, will not be staying on the waitlist.</p>

<p>The mail isn’t here yet. I went on <a href=“https://secure3.vassar.edu/congrats2014/[/url]”>https://secure3.vassar.edu/congrats2014/&lt;/a&gt; and was able to log in with the ID # I had and it said “You’re in!” But do you get a different code in the mail? Can I trust this?</p>

<p>Thanks brio91. I’m not sure she’s going to stay on the wait list either, but as her mom, I feel a bit better that she wasn’t rejected!</p>

<p>Hi all! I came home to the big envelope from Vassar today! I still have NO clue if I’m going, but I’m pretty excited to have the option.</p>

<p>Was the ID and PIN in the acceptance letter the same one you had before or a new one?</p>

<p>sigh waitlisted… saw a small envelope and i knew it</p>

<p>rejection! Its ok good luck all!!</p>

<p>The congrats page worked, and I got the big envelope. So there seems to be correlation.</p>
