<p>I got mine by snail mail.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got mine the regular mail as well.</p>
<p>Yea just got mine through the mail today. w00t.</p>
<p>So it's still taking time for the letters to reach their recipients?</p>
<p>Or they might still be mailing them out. Mine was mailed on the 28th of Feb.</p>
<p>Awww man....Why'd you have to get my hopes up? :)</p>
<p>^yeah omggg</p>
<p>Oh? They mailed stuff on the 28th Feb? :O @stupidkid: You an athlete?</p>
<p>and what state do you live in?</p>
<p>lol no, I'm a geeky asian male. I don't really want to give out my location since you can easily search for me from my stats.</p>
<p>Lol... Geeky asian male? :D You applying as an international ?</p>
<p>nah, domestic.</p>
<p>Getting above a 140 in AMC was impressive,
especially when you were in grade 10...stupidkid,
did you express interest in the math department
at Stanford in your app?</p>
<p>curious.</p>
<p>I received my Early Approval today. Guess this year Stanford
is doing multiple waves unlike past years. For those curious

<p>yes, I put math as my intended major. I got 140 on the AMC 10 though. 136 on the 12 in 11th grade. Was fortunate enough to qualify for USAMO that year. Arwen, I read on the caltech forums that you've decided to go to caltech, is that true?</p>
<p>how many letters do they send?</p>
<p>There must have been more likely letters posted in this round and I cannot believe there are only 2 so far on CC (dated 2/28). There
must be at least 8-10 more people on CC who got likleys this round?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>stupidkid, Not having taken advantage of Questbridge or fee waiver (which
might have helped my dismal situation get noticed by the adcom) I am
going to have to wait to find out where I get the most aid and thats where I
hope to be going.</p>
<p>In that case, I would think that Stanford gives better aid than Caltech or MIT.</p>
<p>Make that three. Count me in.</p>
<p>Congratz to chronicidal and arwen.
Chron, when did you get yours?
Arwen, I guess you didn't need the Questbridge status to highlight you as a qualified student. Accepted into Caltech and Stanford? Congratz!</p>
