People... Timing Of Your Letter Is Irrelevant.

<p>I'm sorry, and I don't mean to sound condescending... but you guys need to chill out. Admittedly I'm freaking out that my letter hasn't come yet, but it's not because I fear I'm rejected; it's just because I'm annoyed that we had mixed messages from NYU regarding when things came out vs. when they are actually arriving at our homes. I've been meticulously studying this forum and others this week and I've noticed several things about the arrival of our letters:</p>

<p>1) Time doesn't mean anything. They sent out rejections a day later because the fact that they are envelopes and not packages means they will sync up in the mail and ARRIVE AT THE SAME TIME.
2) It's still spreading across the country, and it's spreading slowly. Don't lose faith because people in your region have received things and you haven't. They had to send out thousands of letters, and I doubt the order in which they were sent out had anything to do with region.
3) You just really can't know that they rejected you based off of timing. NYU told us from Day 1 they would be arriving "on or about the 15th," and guess what - for some of us, that's going to mean LATER than the 15th. I know it sucks. Trust me. I'm sitting over here in California.</p>

<p>The end. Good luck to everyone.</p>

<p>you're completely right! but i would still love to get mine TODAY... i'm sitting in california as well... the bay area to be exact.</p>

<p>well said, well said.</p>

<p>BAYYY AREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA represent :)!!</p>

5

<p>Yeah, exactly. You can't assume you're in or not until you have the mail from NYU and you read it. Timing means nothing. =]</p>

<p>although i'd like to agree with you, i live like 45 min from the city and i didn't get anything today. it shouldn't take this long to get here, if it was sent tuesday.</p>

<p>i got my acceptance friday in central jersey and my friend who lives down the street got his rejection today. Living across the country however does make a difference</p>

<p>I think timing is relevant..everyone got their rejections today. my friend got his rejection letter that was mailed out on the 14th.</p>

<p>I know it helps to think that timing doesn't matter but it does. I got my acceptance package in the mail on Thursday, the 13th.. I live in NY but lets be real, wherever you live, if you haven't gotten anything already, you should start looking for letters from your backup schools and if you still don't know anything by Wednesday of this week, cross NYU off your list...just my two cents..congrats to those of you who made it, see you in the Spring!!</p>

<p>dont mean to crush any dreams, but the prior 3 years timing has matters....GSP, then acceptances, then rejections. A few late acceptances (im guessing because of incomplete apps, or them being on the fence, or having a slow post office), but for the most part if someone in your area got acceptances and you haven't, you're probably in trouble.</p>

13

<p>Questionable because people in my area haven't gotten anything really. But I'm still worried.</p>

<p>I feel like a dick now that I made this post. I got my acceptance letter like 3 hours after it :-/</p>
