<p>oh and btw...Skip is a he.</p>
<p>I agree with Luki...just send the e-mail and get it over with...if its an acceptance great if its not just move on</p>
<p>I too am going to write an email to Skip Staats. I'm sure I've been rejected, but its best to get it over with.
However, I must admit it is pretty disappointing. Rejected by five colleges as yet. Six more to go. I'm left wondering what I did wrong in my apps.:(</p>
<p>@luki : im tamanna, class of 2005, so obviously we we rn't from the same batch :P...cograts again btw :P no NSU for u (seriously scary place, went there yest and totally freaked out >> i'm claustrophobic) :P</p>
<p>....since everyone seems to think its a good idea, i guess i will email him. but serious chhechrami hoye jay me thinks, specially since he'll ryt and say "oh, i'm sorry" :P </p>
<p>@skunk: good luck and let us know wat happens <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>@tanveer: thanks. and i guess everything does happen for the best, even if we dont feel so when it happens :P (i hope thats tru for both of us)</p>
<p>Maybe Justin can fill us in: Is Skip female or male???</p>
<p>@tam i do hope so too coz i went to NSU for a semester and the place really sux...don't ever wanna go back there</p>

<p>ahhhh i dont think i can handle this...im so rejected, my crap gpa has no chance with the 1 and 10 general deferred acceptence thing. to justin, or anyone: do you know what percent of ED was deferred this year? just because i guess if its relatively small id have more of a chance...if its high im done lol. like with yale deferring 65 percent of ED applicants. AH wait i live like an hour away....aka tomorrow or the day after i guess ill find out!?!??!?</p>
<p>Skip Staats replied. Officially rejected.:(</p>
<p>peanutbutter3,</p>
<p>I have absolutely no idea what percentage of ED applicants were deferred. According to the Admissions website, decision letters were officially sent out today. You should receive it either tomorrow or the next day.</p>
<ul>
<li>Justin</li>
</ul>
<p>so they were sent out yesterday? has anybody gotten a response and if so, where are you?</p>
<p>not yet... in MD.</p>
<p>20legend,</p>
<p>Well, tell us whether you got any decision from Lafayette.</p>
<p>well....im retracting my previous statement. i wasnt rejected.</p>
<p>BUT ITS MY FOURTH F.UCKING WAITLIST, im more than a little bitter...how does this even happen? i know its becoming more and more common because everyone applies to like 20 places, but seriously? 4/4? im like honestly about to lose it, this is terrible. id like to boast at least ONE good RD acceptance. i sent back the other 3 saying i didnt want to be on it because i really do like the ONE reach school i was accepted to more than those, and it wouldnt be fair to say i want to remain on the waitlist when none of those schools were my first choice. but that means ill never know whether i actually would have gotten in aka what would boost my practically non-existant self esteem...</p>
<p>i am actually convinced it's my essay. i havent been accepted to a school who has seen it yet. rejected from NYU, deferred/waitlisted at lafayette, waitlisted at lehigh, muhlenberg, and american. i know my gpa doesnt help being only a 3.3 because i killed it since i like couldnt manage my work due to my depression...my essay was supposed to describe what helped me to overcome that though, not trying to get sympathy or anything. it is a bit dark and atypical, especially because of what was said in the particular situation i described, but it had a happy ending and i was told it was powerful by multiple people. buttt not to the admissions officers, apparently? its just so weird because i was accepted to mcgill which was supposed to be a reach right up with nyu...they dont have an essay portion (although they dont look at 9th and 10th grades which definitely helped, i have like a 3.8 without those..). also pitt, pennstate, and temple, but i never really wanted to go to any of those....</p>
<p>SORRY FOR THE RANT...i really just want to scream bc im so frusterated with this waitlist business. i cant decide whether to say that i want to be on it..id have to know by like mid-april, if i dont accept my mcgill offer they can rescind it after may 1st. its disappointing because if i had gotten into lafayette ED2 i would have been thrilled and never looked back, even once i learned about mcgill, which i didnt expect to get into. but i was really put off by the deferral, even more so by the waitlist so i dont know what to do now.</p>
<p>i live about an hour south of lafayette in PA, just fyi...</p>
<p>does lafayette send out acceptances via priority mail... meaning all acceptances would have arrived today?</p>
<p>rewrets,</p>
<p>No, not all applicants will receive their decision letters the same day. It all depends on one's distance from the College.</p>

<p>Peanut: at least you will have someplace to go to college. It's not like you have to stay home and work in a mill or milk cows, or slaughter sheep. YOU WILL GO TO COLLEGE AND SUCCEED. Tell Lafayette that you'd still love to go to their school, and hope for the best. </p>
<p>You're going to be fine!</p>
<p>yes, very true but one acceptance from lehigh or lafayette would have really boosted my confidence...and if i was accepted i would definitely consider going, to lafayette especially, over mcgill.</p>
<p>i thought about it all evening...i decided not to accept the waitlist offer. lafayette WAS my first choice after I was rejected from NYU. Like I said, if they had accepted me early decision 2, i would have been thrilled and never looked back. the deferral was a real shock and really put me off...i had visited twice and did the interview, all of that, and then all the stuff i described above to increase my unlikely chances of being accepted RD. well, ive been waiting since the january deferral and was really looking forward to having a definitive answer this week, but with what happened i really dont have the sanity to wait some more, give them my latest report card, letters/recommendations to show your desire to attend (yet i already did that...), i dont feel it's worth it. not to mention the school i will be attending's deposit and 1500 dollars which much be paid by may 1, while its likely i wouldnt even find out up until may 20. and its not worth the chance at lafayette when i think at this point id rather go to mcgill...</p>
<p>but thank you all for your help and honesty. really, this process is just insane and i really cant stand it anymore. lafayette is a great school and i am in no means putting it down...my frusteration really just overwhelms my desire to attend.</p>
<p>anybody from nj get a response yet?</p>
<p>I live in NY and got mine today! Accepted-no financial aid letter though, does it come separately or am I out of luck?</p>
