<p>By the way, looks like some people on the East Coast are changing to “forwarded” after being stuck on one status for months.</p>

796

<p>ohhh okay thanks :]</p>

<p>and i’ve been on forwarded for a while i think… idk.</p>

797

<p>Thanks everyone! I actually threw the letter away and digging in the trash doesn’t sound too appealing, so I’m afraid I can’t be of much help. I live in Florida if that helps.</p>

<p>@nwfilmstudent - You’re probably worried about being stuck on “fall grades” but I just realized something… it seems like everyone will get switched to “forwarded” at some point. Your status is just proof that they haven’t finished making decisions. :)</p>

<p>@franz - do you remember any of your status updates?</p>

799

<p>Letter was dated 3/12 so I assume it was postmarked around 3/16 ish</p>

800

<p>The only letters that have gone out have been dated 3/12… even if the postmark date is different. Hm.</p>

<p>By the way, guys, I changed the list up a little. Just for organization stuff.</p>
