when do packets come?

<p>where are you from, portlander?</p>

<p>Well, it was very nice of the finaid office to send the final award letters via dhl, people. And they did it for a reason: To get our visas, we need to provide the final award letter, not the tentative one we got earlier, even though the figures look the same.</p>

<p>sent May 2nd, got it today! yay!</p>

<p>When was it postmarked?</p>

<p>I'm from Oregon. Mine was postmarked May 10, and I mailed my card in April 30. If anyone cares, the postage costed them $8.55! </p>

<p>For those of you who are patiently waiting...but wish to see the packet, click on the links below! If you don't want to spoil the surprise, STOP and don't! =)

<p>There's a lot more to it, but I don't want to reveal everything..haha! Sorry the pics aren't great...</p>

<p>What is the transparent thing in the last picture??</p>

<p>it's a sticker thing for your car window</p>

<p>Oh, no... you spoiled the surprise!</p>

<p>Next time don't post spoilers without warning!</p>

<p>Ooo, that is your free one I guess. The COOP reams you later on for that :P</p>

<p>I said, "If you don't want to spoil the surprise, STOP and don't! =)"</p>

<p>sorry if this ruined it...</p>

<p>No, I meant this:</p>

<p>Hahah, don't worry, I was just kidding, portlander.</p>

<p>haha....alrighty...</p>

<p>On a side note I got my GCE A-Level final certificate from November 2004 today. It's really cool and has this holographic strip on it.</p>

<p>Mine came at last! :)</p>

<p>But I don't see any stickers?</p>

<p>it's in the parents' packet...</p>

<p>I see it now, thanks. :)</p>

<p>np........</p>

<p>it's good. it means that they have already started sending packets to intels... :D</p>

<p>Now I STILL have not recived mine. I am inclined to believe either</p>

<p>1) MIT has decided that they hate me and that whole acceptance thing was just a nasty joke</p>

<p>2) Aliens/the-kid-next-door stole my package</p>

<p>3) Kansas mail services just really really suck</p>

<p>Hopefully its #3 and it'll be here tomorrow!
