<p>@Ali1993 How come you are an international applicant when you were born in Chicago…? Doesn’t that make you automatically a citizen? Just wondering, I apologize for getting so personal…no pressure to answer me.
Also, do you live in the States right now?</p>
<p>Guys, I’ve started pulling my hair…What do they mean by “notification,” the emails or the actual snail mailed-letters/packages? If they meant emails, didn’t they send those out over the weekend?</p>
<p>heyhohellno, ahh… our current theory is that they’re writing us very personalized rejections. </p>
<p>I was a hair puller too, btw… 
but I recovered!</p>
<p>It’s not a theory untill its proven.Hypothesis is the right word. 
And this waiting is killing me too!</p>

<p>ok, now i’m working on two different hypothesis:</p>
<p>1 - My gmail is boycotting Skid.
2 - They’re trying to give me my life’s greatest lesson on how to lower down (very very down) my expectations. </p>
<p>Still, I’m just another human being keeping hopes high even after three days of <em>it’s coming now</em> wait. So, if you’re trying to teach me something here, Skid (even if I don’t become an official student of yours), I’M NOT GETTING IT.</p>
<p>Waitlisted as well as devastated.
To be honest (and I don’t want to offend anyone), I applied to Skid as one of my safeties, at least stat-wise, with 730 CR 790 math and 690 WR and a 4.37 GPA. I’ve also done my fair share of ECs, interned, had a job, volunteered on three continents over the past summers, sent Skid a satisfactory portfolio, and wrote marvelous essays, at least my AP Lit teachers think so. What have I done to get semi-rejected beside not having interviewed? I suck at interviews!
Oh well. Hope the best for you guys.</p>
<p>@heyhohellno
im not in the states rite now…
I dunno if im in the international pool or not…every school kinda treats these things slightly different…</p>
<p>if they really started e-mailing us on Saturday, is it time to e-mail the admissions office and say ‘hi, could you please e-mail me my rejection letter so that I can stop obsessing over it?’ or ‘hi, have you guys, you know… read my application already?’?</p>
<ul>
<li>i’m joking but i’m serious, should we e-mail them?</li>
</ul>
<p>@inaperfectworld, yes, yes, yes, you should e-mail admissions! Maybe not with either of the 2 messages you proposed, but yes, e-mail them! There are no extra points for suffering. GOOD LUCK!!!</p>
<p>i mailed them on monday and the reply was that we will receive our emails in next few days of this week…God knows when those next few days will come!!</p>
<p>decisions out.
rejected.</p>
<p>this was very mean. I do get the feeling that they left the rejected ones to be notified three days after they started e-mailing the internationals. </p>
<p>That was basically Chronicle of a Death Foretold, so yes, rejected as well.</p>
<p>I am sorry in a perfect world. Did you call in, or did you finally get the email?</p>
<p>I e-mailed them in the morning, got an answer in the early afternoon and went to sleep. When I woke up (7 pm here), there it was, the evil, dry and not-at-all personalized (failed hypothesis) rejection pdf file. :/</p>
<p>How did it end up for you, jking2jam?</p>
<p>still nothing. 
I must have been at the VERY bottom of the applicant pool. hehe</p>
<p>wow, i’m sorry. this is so disrespectful. </p>
<p>go have some ice cream, watch Hunger Games… we shouldn’t have been so anxious, it just made things worse. :/</p>
<p>WAIT LISTED, i am NOT pleased</p>
