<p>Kinda surprised to see no Carleton posts up. I'm starting to get really optimistic, thinking that the applicant pool is tiny this year. Guess it was as I hoped: their applicants aren't nearly as neurotic as other top schools. Anyway I applied ED I and I was wondering if anyone knew about the notification. Do they send e-mails? Perhaps they post it in the Message Center part of the Online Application Part 2? Do we have to wait for an envelope? Which size envelope do I want to see? I've already begun my slump in anticipation, but I'm worrying I'm gonna be like a kid who stays up all night counting on a snow day-- utterly dissapointed. Come join my distress.</p>
<p>I have absolutely no idea how Carleton submits its decisions. However, I hope they are being sent out soon. I'm getting tired of coming home every day during lunch and checking the mail, looking for a big envelope.</p>
<p>Unless Carleton has changed things since last year, they will notify ED applicants of the decisions through paper mail. If you were accepted, if it looks anything like the RD package does, it will be pretty obvious that you got in. It's a large envelope, dunno the dimensions but at least 8.5x11. I beieve those will probably arrive at your houses about Dec 15. I'm pretty sure there is no way to find out electronically at all...sorry guys. Good luck! Carleton is an amazing place and I love it there.</p>
<p>ug, i've heard from other people that the early decision acceptances from most colleges are actually quite normal, small envelopes that include just a wee official notice saying you've been accepted-- apparently the big package comes later.</p>
<p>Are the letters from Carleton supposed to arrive at the mailbox by the 15th, or is that when they will be mailed?</p>
<p>I think they mail them friday and they arrive the sometime during the week of the 15th. It's even more nerve racking now because all my hopeful (most foolishly i'll admit) friendswho appliedto ivies got rejected on friday.. ug.</p>
<p>Kebler - How sure are you that Carleton sent out their decisions last Friday?</p>
<p>My friend who lives in St. Paul got her letter of rejection on Saturday... and another family friend from i dont know where got her letter of rejection Saturday also... So they must have sent them friday or sooner. Hey, maybe they just send out the rejections early... eep.</p>
<p>Oh, now I'm beyond worried. I guess I don't have to worry about sleeping tonight since I'll probably hear from Carleton tomorrow.</p>
<p>Got my acceptance tuesday. Hope good news comes to you soon.</p>
<p>Neither myself or another individual who applied ED to Carleton have received our decision yet--and we're only a state away. Hopefully tomorrow then. Congrats on your acceptance.</p>
