<p>Chocolate,
Is the letter a bit stiff? They have a housing card in there which is the weight of an index card. If you feel something like that it is either an acceptance or a waitlist card that your daughter has to fill out and send back.</p>
<p>I am truly wishing it is the first!
Best of luck to her.</p>
<p>Good luck to all. Georgetown is far and away our son’s first choice, but he was deferred EA, and an acceptance is still a long shot I guess. I think his parents are more stressed than he is!</p>
<p>Has anyone been waitlisted yet? I understand that this is a strange year for a lot of schools because of the economy, and I wondered if they’ll use the wait list more than in the past to ensure a full class.</p>
<p>Ardomom: how do you know there is a index card inside? because i think i feel a index card but i’m not really sure!! i will even be happy if it’s a waitlist!!</p>
<p>LaVieEnChocolat you are like a rock of self-control. </p>
<p>I’d be driving to the school right now and pulling my D out on some trumped-up excuse. </p>
<p>“What’s going on, Mom? Why’m I getting dismissed?”
“Um, oh yeah, big dentist appointment that I forgot to tell you about. Your yellow teeth are driving me craz… OPEN THIS BLASTED ENVELOPE NOW !!”</p>
<p>^ Are you serious??! You have your own life to live. Remember, your daughter is the one getting into college, not you.</p>
<p>When my son was waitlisted two years ago, he had a white card to fill out. This year when my daughter was accepted this year, she had a blue one to fill out.</p>
<p>Look through the address window and see if you can see a color.</p>
<p>We are all behind you!</p>
<p>Open it and tell her it was an accident. My kids wouldn’t have cared.</p>
<p>it doesn’t look blue to me but more like a yellow index card! there is no address window… it"s a regular envelope.</p>
<p>^^gtwnlvr016: No, I was not being serious. I was trying to lighten the mood. Thanks for injecting more tense vibes into a very tense thread. I’ll make sure to add a smiley next time to avoid confusion.</p>
<p>I am a senior waiting for my letter too (EA deferred). Sitting in lunch period in the physics lab and surfing CC. I have no D applying to G’Town. But if I did, as I said, she’d be on her way to a non-existent dentist appointment right now. </p>
<p>You are making me crazy 
I am home waiting for the mailman, too. My son is waiting on Trinity, Emory and Tufts. He was accepted at Colgate, waitlisted at Wesleyan, Boston College, University of Richmond. No on Northwestern and UNC. Good luck, I feel for you.</p>
<p>Maybe the waitlist ones or the RD admits are yellow this yearand the blue ones are for EA. All in all, if there is a card, it is a good sign. </p>
<p>Keep us posted.</p>
<p>I thought your post was funny I might have to do that!!</p>
<p>Shep: I think Tufts is tomorrow at 3pm on-line. Good luck to your son; maybe we’ll both end up there.</p>
<p>^ i’m quite sure now that there is a index card inside but not blue but more kind of yellow! it could be a waitlist again!! # 3!!!</p>
<p>just remember wait list does not mean “no”. My son has 3 so far, too.</p>
<p>DukeofEarl…</p>
<p>You never know, with the type of helicopter parents that live here… I think gtwnlvr016’s comment was warranted. I feel the same way… Sorry for the misunderstanding. I’m sure he assumed you were one of said “hoverers.”</p>
<p>Did anyone who just got accepted get the index card? If so, kindly let Chocolate know what color it is. </p>
<p>At least it is not a flat out denied - I am seeing so many of those and my heart goes out to those students.</p>
<p>Seriously LaVieEnChocolat…</p>
<p>I certainly hope you don’t pass along your twisted behavior to your kids. Get a life. Let them experience the happiness/frustration without throwing your own hopes/dreams into it. It’s their life. You’re there to support them, not drive them freakin nuts.</p>
<p>Islandguy,</p>
<p>Don’t know what kind of relationship you have with your parents but from what I am seeing, Chocolate is only trying to support her child. Hopefully, one day you will grow up and learn to appreciate a parent’s love. When your child feels excluded and hurt, you do too.</p>
