<p>Does anyone know? I read somewhere of a March 23 date but I don’t know where that info came from.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think someone said it came from their early write. Not sure though.</p>
<p>It-s March 23 (this Friday!!) - the date was specified in the letters sent to the early writes.</p>
<p>thats when there sent... so should someone in MA expect in saturday or monday? Are acceptances and rejections sent at same time?</p>
<p>All decisions (acceptances and rejections) are sent at the same time. I wouldn't expect one-day postal service to western Massachusetts but you never know . . Monday seems more likely but you should probably start watching for the mailman on Saturday. Good luck.</p>
<p>r u sure i always thought it was April 1st they come in the mail?</p>
<p>The March 23d date was stated in the letters to all the "early writes." Bowdoin has a new admissions director this year - I would guess that he decided to move the schedule up a week as the mailing date has been about April 1st in prior years.</p>
<p>BTW, I just saw over on the Williams thread that someone received a acceptance today that he/she believes to have been a regular decision acceptance (and not an "early write") so perhaps a number of the LACs have decided to slightly accelerate the decision-making process this year.</p>
<p>The people who got acceptances from Williams got early writes not regular decision acceptances. The letters were written on the 13th.</p>
<p>At least a couple of the Williams admittees say that their acceptance letters do not say that they are "early writes." Also they were mailed a couple of weeks after the early writes so it's hard to say what they really are - maybe a second wave of early writes??</p>
<p>Most likely. Until we hear rejections, we won't know for sure. Also- if these were non early writes, wouldn't we hear from more ccer's?</p>
<p>how long would it take to reach california from bowdoin? Maybe Tuesday?</p>
<p>^ I'd like to know as well. I am assuming that rejections would take longer because they wouldn't be sent via priority mail.</p>
<p>Perhaps I'm just stupid... what's the difference between Priority and Regular Mail?? :-P</p>
<p>Priority mail is part of the regular US mail but arrives in 2 -3 days for an additional fee or the next day for an even higher fee. Regular mail is the least expensive and gets to you whenever, maybe 4-7 days depending on the distance.</p>
<p>Actually the US Postal Service estimates the same delivery time for both priority mail and first-class mail -- 2-3 days.</p>
<p>So it should only take like 2 days to get to Western Mass? I'm hoping for Monday, I have to be somewhere on Tuesday till 9PM! That would be grueling!</p>
<p>^Yeah, if you get accepted, there is not doubt you will be recieving the letter on Monday. Good luck, dude.</p>
<p>I soo hope rejections and acceptances are sent at the same timeeee</p>
<p>Did anyone confirm with the admissions office that they mailed the letters on March 23 or is everyone just going on what someone said was in an early write letter?</p>
