<p>D is in!</p>
<p>For those of you who are deferred, please know that we are thinking of you and will be rooting for you in the regular decision round. Quite a few of D's friends and classmates have slipped into limbo at schools all over the country this week. We are finding it a bittersweet time.</p>
<p>For those of you who are still waiting, we know how that feels. I hope with all my heart that your news will make the waiting worthwhile.</p>
<p>For those of you who have heard that you are 2011 Ephs, congratulations! D's letter had the "I'm glad!" personalization handwritten by Dick Nesbitt on the bottom. Which one did you get?</p>
<p>To all of you, thank you for holding my hand these last few weeks. You're all very special people.</p>
<p>aube88 - hang in there</p>
<p>jrg6 and priceless - I have my fingers crossed</p>

<p>ah Grace congratulations to your daughter!!! You must be so happy!!! :D</p>
<p>Thanks for the goodwill, I'm not quite sure why I didn't get the letter today when many other people did..but hopefully on Monday I'll find that it was a letter worth waiting for..</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in so far!! </p>
<p>Did anyone else apply ED from California? I haven't gotten my letter yet... which probably makes sense since I'm so far away, but I was just wondering if anyone CA did get their letter yet?</p>
<p>Grace: Although my D did not apply ED to Williams I have noted your kind words on other lac threads and wanted to congratulate your daughter and you on her ED acceptance to Williams. I wish her the best four years of fun and scholarship.</p>
<p>Dana's Dad</p>
<p>Congratulations to all of you in the class of 2011 and parents thereof! To those deferred or just waiting, take heart and complete the other applications with renewed vigor. (If it sounds schizophrenic, it is.:))</p>
<p>My son is finishing up his final finals this term and then heading home for his last Christmas as an undergrad. Don’t know what the future holds for him but I can tell you that his four years at Williams have been beyond expectation. It just keeps getting better.</p>
<p>Grace and any other parents who may be lurking: Tootle on over to the parents board when the Williams bashers start swinging. Not that Williams needs defending, but I think it helps for prospective students and especially parents to hear it like it really is from insiders.</p>
<p>Got the deferral letter in the mail this morning...needless to say, I am pretty disappointed...but congrats to everyone who got in!</p>
<p>AIM SCREEN NAMES:
I really want to meet all of you/get to know people before we actually go.</p>
<p>mine is girlsxgotxheart and I'm on a lot.</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE (our dorms are going to be amazingg).</p>

<p>How do you use the template?</p>
<p>Has anyone else still not received their letter?</p>
<p>I haven't either, Tarheel.</p>
<p>Where are you located? North Carolina?</p>
<p>yeah... neither have I tarheel and jrg6... i'm in California... i REALLY hope it comes tomorrow!</p>
<p>Isn't it so nervewracking to keep waiting over the weekend?</p>
<p>California's understandable, at least..I'm not quite sure why I haven't gotten it in NY yet while other people have.</p>
<p>But I hope your wait is quick and well worth it! Good luck apples :)</p>
<p>and tarheel..and everyone else still waiting</p>
