<p>^ I suppose they wait until they know everyone’s received their decision by postal mail before emailing us.</p>
<p>I honestly just want to get the email about RTT now, haha.</p>

<p>Do you know when they will email internationals since some people have been finding out of their decisions already. I’m wondering if the emails are already sent to those who got accepted.</p>
<p>gloriousambition, I kind of have an idea (which came from I-dont-know-where) that Swarthmore emails us on the 28th. I could have read about it somewhere or it’s just another deja vu of mine.</p>
<p>But from the link I quoted, some if not all people got their emails on the 28th, but that was back in 2007.</p>
<p>I received a rejection letter in Southern Florida today. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I got my acceptance package today in Florida :)</p>
<p>Rejected; in Chicago.</p>
<p>Guys, does anyone know how and when internationals are going to find out their decisions? Please, answer if you can :)</p>
<p>Rejected in Chicago.</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about the internationals, sorry</p>
<p>I’m an international, and I received my acceptance yesterday by Fedex - I’m very excited!</p>
