<p>Ohhh thats what I thought!!</p>
<p>Accepted: Deerfield</p>
<p>Just received my FedEx package! So excited!</p>
<p>@HH1997: It arrives that early? I thought decisions arrived on March 9.</p>
<p>@asdfexeter Well, kind of. HADES schools are well known literally because it’s a cool acronym. They’re great schools, but everybody has their own personal hierarchy. I just made a random example in my post. HADES is like the Ivies for boarding school, but I think everyone can agree some colleges go above a few of the ivies. Think of it as like Stanford>Cornell, or Johns Hopkins>Brown (of course that’s my opinion, as it is for everyone with boarding schools.) A lot of applicants, though they shouldn’t, tend to make acceptance rate the defining characteristic that makes a school “prestigious”. All of the schools are good in separate ways, and there’s been several efforts to broaden scopes to schools such as St. Andrew’s School or Taft, and especially the recent discovery of the west with Thacher’s extreme drop (and Cate School with it). But I think everyone has there own personal hierarchy, but it is generally a trend that at least a few HADES school make the top of almost everyone’s.</p>
<p>Deerfield doesn’t use fedex.</p>
<p>@HH1997 I’m pretty sure you’re trolling…</p>
<p>I really hate people like this</p>
<p>If that is the case, then HH1997, thank you. Now, please practice your trolling; flip over to page 1063 in your textbook…</p>
<p>@AmbiD77: I hate people like that, too!</p>
<p>@GoldenRatio exactly! This is not a time to be playing with applicants’ emotions</p>
<p>Especially with 16 hours left until we hear from Hotchkiss…</p>
<p>You guys should prepare. Some of the trolls we saw last completely dwarf this guy. And they were much, much ruder.</p>
<p>Ya… if HH1997 was really an applicant s/he wouldn’t be pulling such childish tricks</p>
<p>@ThisOneKid: I’ll be on the lookout for them.</p>
<p>Because this is a public thread, I can’t really force any “rules”. So, because I’m getting far too excited, I’m giving the go-ahead on posting your acceptances in real-time just as long as you promise to go in and finish your list when you get the snail mail. Thanks!</p>
<p>JUST FOUR MORE HOURS</p>
<p>I’ll be sure to post back with my decisions!</p>
<p>Okay, I’ve always wanted to do this, and I have one shot to do it. So, here it goes:</p>
<p>Decisions in 3…2…1…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand GO! GO! GO!</p>
