<p>Voila- the official countdown until RD decisions! Does anyone know when they actually come out? I haven't seen an exact date as of yet.</p>
<p>But for now, here's the countdown to D-Day:</p>
<p>25-27 days...</p>
<p>(PS- lol blu :D)</p>
<p>HAHAHAHHAHAH i saw this topic and burst out laughing. I love you cali! and how you really take things to heart.</p>
<p>over here in NJ though...at the moment...it's already 24-26 days!!!!</p>
<p>D-Day, I love it!...April 2nd maybe?</p>
<p>get this: an adcom told me in person they'd be available online. only problem is . . . dmouth doesnt have an online account system. not sure what the hell she was talking about</p>
<p>Email probably.</p>
<p>I remember people talking about checking their decisions on a Dartmouth website...maybe that was only for ED though.</p>

<p>PS- blue, I thought you'd like this.</p>
<p>wow, hmm, I'll still wait for the letter</p>
<p>This reminds me of the ea/ed countdown.</p>
<p>i'm vaguely frightened.</p>
<p>hahahaha. I dunno about you guys, I got an online ID from Dartmouth in the mail a long time ago, even before it became my first choice.</p>
<p>lol cali - you know me too well :-D</p>
<p>Does Dartmouth overnight admission packages? I heard Cornell does that, I was hoping maybe some other schools would.</p>
<p>Hmmm I don't know what an overnight admission packet is.</p>
<p>But I called Dartmouth and got my login ID and password, since I never got a letter. You should call if you don't have one.</p>
<p>E-mails are sent out April 2, e-mail ID and password to Dartmouth discussion board where you would log in and see your financial aid package. She was able to read the decision late morning.</p>
<p>Daughter's package came on April 2 also she did not worry because she had already recieved her likely letter and confirmed her attendance at Dimensions. Packages are sent out via priority mail, big envelope, folders inside, admission letter, certificate, financial aid letter info on financing a Dartmouth education blah, blah blah. </p>
<p>Since April 1 falls on friday this year, I would assume that everything will be in your hands by the first as I can not see them making you sweat this out over the weekend.</p>
<p>wow, so for your D, sybbie, it came kinda late? I was figuring that decisions would come the whole week of the 26th to the 1st of April.</p>
<p>I should probably call them, I lost my ID number for Dmouth.</p>
<p>I think she was late with everything,mailed applications out on December 30th, was in the last bunch of likely letters to go out (but her school did not midyears out until late).</p>
<p>Since the Ivy league is bound not to give a decision until April 1, and they are sent overnight mail, they are usually mailed out on the 31st. She got decisions from the following schools before April 1:</p>
<p>[ul]
[li]Barnard (admission and aid came together)</p>[/li]
<p>[li]Bryn Mawr (Admission letter just said she was getting a scholarship, but the actual financial aid package came on April 3) </p>[/li]
<p>[li]Mount Holyoke (admission and aid came together) </p>[/li]
<p>[li]Williams (March 15) The financial aid package from Williams did not come until April 1. </p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]</p>
<p>Because she got a likely and she knew she was accepted to Dartmouth she did not sweat the formality of getting the package because she knew it was coming (the letter was dated April 1). </p>
<p>Tufts posted their decisions on-line March 31 last year., It was a nut house and literally took her hours to get the decision on line . Their package came on the second with the Dartmouth package (Tufts financial aid package came a week later).</p>
<p>The Amherst package did not come in until about the 5th or the 6th (talk about slow the admission and aid package are mailed together)</p>
<p>well i don't know about you guys...but our Countdown Thread on the pre-Suckfest Penn board was a haven for anxiety as well as just random thoughts. You know, starting out-of-nowhere discussions so that we can get our minds off stressing about the upcoming approach of April.</p>
<p>Today was the first warm sunny day over in NJ...we walked out into the courtyard, almost all the snow had melted away. My friend says "It's so nice out...you can tell it's March." I grumbled something like, "I hate March." He was like "What? Why?!" I responded, "It's one month closer to April." He agreed, "Yes, April is the month of doom."</p>
<p>In other news, I just came back from choir practice, so I'm going to discuss what I'm currently thinking about. I have a huuuuge thing for boys who sing. Not really band lead singers, I'm talking like boys in the choir and occasionally guys who do musical theater...I just LOVE how they sound. It probably stems from the fact that our school's concert choir is no-audition, so boys who can actually sing are really rare, and therefore are all the more treasured when they actually exist...I'm currently listening to our county choir CD and practically cry whenever the basses have a solo. Today in select choir I got to sit in front of the basses and next to the tenors for one song, and it was as though I had entered some untouchable euphoric state, hearing them singing right at me, for once NOT surrounded by screecy sopranos. I love love LOVE it! I wrote about choir as my most meaningful activity for a myriad of reasons...i love composing and arranging music for 4 parts, and how choir is the only activity that requires you not to stand out, but to blend in for the greater good. HEE! i can't wait to join a college choir.</p>
<p>what'd you guys write about for yours?</p>
<p>mmm the BEST BOYS are acapella. oh boy oh boy. and i'm quite tonedeaf, but i'm pretty sure its more than their looks.. they give me shivers.</p>
<p>but my meaningful activity (which even though it was the shortest essay was the hardest for me to write because i am PARANOID of cliches. PARANOID.) was sailing, just because i've gotten to travel so many places and meet so many people.. and in what other sport are you best friends with your competition? certainly not ice hockey. i can promise you that. because, rasberry smoothie, there are a bunch of girls at your school who i was THIS CLOSE to getting in an all out fistfight with.</p>
<p>Hee that sounds great. I thought mine wasn't too cliche, but what do I know?</p>
<p>I've met lots of people, through county and regional choir, that I even hang out with on the weekends...county and regional choir boys are the BEST lol. but hm...other sports you're best friends with your competition? Latin Dance (it's a sport, for real!) You spend all week with your friends in class, and then at competitions you're competing against them for first place.</p>
<p>i'm in a choir, and i platonically like boys who can sing well, but I get incredibly grossed out by boys who can sing higher than me (I'm a soprano 1). I just...no. not attractive. because yeah. because come on.</p>
<p>i only fall in lurve with rock singers, especially tenor rock singers. they are amazing. like Rhett Miller. May I marry him one day.</p>
