RD Decision

<p>Alright. Easier for me then because I do need to wake up early but I’m just an excited co-Reedie of the Class of 2014. Last year they sent e-mails at around 4pm PST(4:08 pm to be precise), at least for international students and I wasn’t on this forum or anything so I had no idea.</p>

<p>sushmita, you’re going to make it! My Reedie friend and I, have come to the conclusion that the Admission Office does a fabulous job of recognising Reedies, judging by the Reedies we’ve met and I can see you feel like a Reedie, so just for this last hour(s), keep your hopes up! I know I am, for you and for everyone who has applied. I only wish Reed had a gazillion dollars and enough space to accomodate all its applicants. Oh well.</p>

<p>I have to wake up early tommorow:) we have school on Saturdays in Russia =D but, well, you only wait for the undergrad decisions once in a lifetime (kind of), so its ok.</p>

83

<p>It could take a couple of hours to deliver some three thousand notifications to their respective mail servers, so don’t conclude anything (where’s mine?) when the first messages begin to arrive.</p>

84

<p>^ Yes, I agree with vossron. Don’t freak out or assume the worst or do something crazy.</p>

<p>Also, vossron, would you have any idea if waitlist/rejection e-mails are sent at the same time, or do those go out later? I heard that they have separate pools according to the decision (accepted, rejected, waitlisted) and send out e-mails separately to those pools.</p>

85

<p>No, sorry, I don’t know if they go out at separate times, but it makes sense from an email management standpoint. Maybe we’ll find out as people report results.</p>

86

<p>I applied early decision 1 (deferred…so I’m waiting too). Anyways, emails are sent out in batches. So they will be arriving at slightly different times.</p>

87

<p>I’m waiting for both the mails
:)</p>

88

<p>nothing yet, 3 pm pacific time, stanford decisions can coome out any min</p>

89

<p>I’m shooting people while I wait. I must say, it’s quite a method to pass time and relieve stress.</p>

90

<p>Okay, I didn’t know it’s actually 3:15 pm now according to PDT. My e-mail was then sent at 5:08 pm PDT, so if last year’s trends are anything to go by, this is going to stretch on for a bit longer.</p>

91

<p>Yeah I’m building a wardrobe from ikea…it’s fighting back.</p>

92

<p>Should I risk it and take a nap?
Yeah, like that’s going to happen…</p>

93

<p>TelephoneInLife, you must be a novice at this, considering Reed’s the only place you applied but then you’ll be done with it soon, so it works out well.</p>

94

<p>Btw, sushmita do you have an exam tomorrow or something?</p>

95

<p>I got my stanford mail :smiley:
A friend will check it in 5 mins :P</p>

96

<p>I have an exam on monday… I wouldn’t risk the Boards by staying up till 4 before an exam!!!</p>

97

<p>soo did you get accepted? nothing for me yet :(</p>

98

<p>It only works out well if I get in. If I don’t, I have to apply to UConn…and I really don’t want to go there. We’ll see.</p>

<p>But for now, video game catharsis.</p>

99

<p>It is not fair that I’m on EST!</p>

100

<p>Haha yeah I was wondering, but people do weird stuff and screw up their sleep cycles when it comes to decisions. Anyway, if you feel like a nap, just go and do that for a bit-if sleep is scarce, just lie down and listen to music you like. It’ll help keep your anxieties at bay.</p>
