<p>Mine mentioned diverse interests too but then also said my qualifications as editor in chief of my school's newspaper would make me a valuable addition to their campus, etc. It was only like two sentences but still much appreciated :)</p>
<p>Does anyone know if earlier response bears any significance? Were these candidates "shoe-ins", so to speak, or is it random (like rolling)? No one seems to be addressing these fairly important questions...</p>
<p>BandW mentioned that even applicants that received response later on yielded positive results, but was it more rare? Am I overlooking something? I know it's too early to be freaking out, which it may seem that I'm already doing, but clarification would bring at least some relief.</p>
<p>Thanks, and congratulations to all of those with good news! (it feels so strange to already be even saying that!)</p>
<p>I have also been accepted :). I too recieved a personal letter which was a nice surprise. At first I thought that the envelope was another information packet because I wasn't expecting anything until April 1, but there it was :)! <em>hugs letter</em></p>
<p>Oh man! I'm an international student in Pakistan. Do you guys have any idea when I'll recieve my decision? Are they only sending acceptances or are they sending all the decisions now? I can't wait...</p>
<p>haha they probably have some eletronic system where there's a category that you type in "we really liked you ...."</p>
<p>I'm guessing they just send a whole group of letters (both accept and deny) in batches as they finish them. There's no way they are done reviewing applicants.</p>
<p>I got accepted but my letter didn't see all that personalized</p>
<p>I just got accepted the other day! i'm very excited</p>

<p>What about international students living outside the U.S.? Do they get decisions in the mail or do they have to wait till April 1st?</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhhhh the wait is killin me!!!!!</p>
<p>yeah, ready for the next wave, standing in the shallows...</p>
<p>Im so worried... are my chances of acceptance lowered since i haven't gotten em in the first wave?</p>
<p>ditto!^</p>
<p>again, has anyone been denied yet???</p>
<p>when is the next wave of letters coming out??</p>
<p>Kids who get denied generally don't post it on these types of threads. Relax.</p>
<p>never mind! no need to worry!</p>
<p>accepted =)</p>
<p>Congrats Shiven!</p>
<p>nyc student in performing arts high school accepted- any other possible physics majors out there? I got a little note on my Dean's Scholorship award letter stating "...encouraging you to speak to Proffesor Steve Manly of Physics about securing a research position..." - wondered if anyone else got that</p>
