<p>so when do we get the letter:</p>
<p>is it mailed out so it will arrive on dec 15th?
or is it sent out on dec 15th?</p>
<p>Answered AGAIN:</p>
<p>E-mails will be sent out 12/14 starting 5:00PM EST
Admissions Decisions will be mailed snail mail 12/15.</p>
<p>If I live in Jordan, when will I receive the mail.</p>
<p>so in other words, get the email...</p>
<p>That would obviously depend on the postal system, wouldn't it?</p>
<p>1 month...:(</p>
<p>I suggest that you get both services. That way, you can have an officially printed (if you're lucky enough) acceptance letter to frame, show off to friends and family, etc.</p>
<p>Harvard2011: An applicant will receive a decision snail mail regardless of signing up for the e-mail decision option.</p>
<p>Lol. I'm only a junior, what do I know?</p>
<p>Is the email a copy of the mail?</p>
<p>Yes. When I received my snail mail letter, the official acceptance letter was the same as the E-mail.</p>
<p>is the decision written in the subject line?</p>
<p>I think in another thread it someone said the decision was not in the subject line, but is obvious by the 1st sentence of the e-mail.</p>
<p>Well, if you have gmail then the decision will show up in the inbox since gmail shows a part of every message's first sentence next to the title and sender.</p>
<p>This is true. And I do have gmail. :)</p>
<p>Also, the first sentence of an acceptance email will likely be:</p>
<p>"Dear _______</p>
<p>I am delighted to inform you that the Committe on Admissions and Financial Aid has voted to offer you a place in the Harvard Class of 2010."</p>
<p>Basically, if you open up that inbox and you see the word "delighted": you're in.</p>
<p>What happened for me was when I got my deferral last year through g-mail, it only had my name in the little "preview" thing before I clicked on it to read it. However, when I received my acceptance in the RD round, it said, "I am delighted..."</p>
<p>For EA, the subject line was "Early Action Decision." For the RD round, it was "Admissions Decision."</p>
<p>ahhhhh
i want to see the word delighted!</p>
<p><em>dreams of the word delighted</em></p>
<p>what if you see "regret"</p>
<p>dooit, I think you already know the answer to that question...lol</p>
