<p>Hmmmm...thanks, slbb52. I'm pretty sure rejection/waitlist letters come a little slower and not through courier.</p>
<p>(Btw, Geneva's beautiful)</p>
<p>IzzyJ, from what I have read of your previous posts, you are a very strong candidate, and will have some more great offers by week's end. Best of luck!</p>
<p>...and both Geneva and Romania are a long, long way from Grinnell, Iowa. Would be nice to know son will have some internationals to lean on when the time comes!</p>
<p>I visited Geneva summer 2004. I was awed by the huge lake and how GREEN it all was.</p>

<p>slbb52, ellenjh:
How were you sent your decisions? Did they come by UPS/DHL/FedEx or something or were they sent by snailmail? </p>
<p>If they were sent by mail, I guess Ill know my decision only on the April 1st, from Pioneerweb. Kerala is a good eight days away from Grinnell by post.</p>
<p>I think it came by DHL. A guy from DHL called me that morning to see if I was gonna be home that afternoon. He didn't tell me where it was from so I was so nervous..</p>
<p>indian, son received his via DHL courier late in the day. Do you feel comfortable contacting the international admissions director by e-mail? I've found them to be very helpful.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you.</p>
