<p>This is nerve wracking for those of us outside MN. Carleton is D’s first choice. She will go nuts all day tomorrow and at school on Monday. Wish they did e-mail…</p>
<p>Has Carleton been really uncommunicative with everyone else re their applications? I checked a million times to make sure I submitted every part of the application, so I’m sure that I did, but I never got any “all of your materials have been received” emails. Nothing. All I got was the common app’s confirmations. But anyway, I expect to get a decision letter Monday or Tuesday…ahhh!</p>

[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: ??? [/li][/ul]General Comments: I can not believe I got accepted!</p>
<p>Did you have to sign to receive the letter?</p>
<p>Any internationals get their letters yet?</p>
<p>I’m an int’l applicant and I haven’t.
I actually emailed admissions on Thursday and they said they would mail the letters next week…@,@</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>They sent out the letters yesterday? Now I’m scared. I’m comparable, stats-wise, to the two acceptances posted, but is comparable good enough? </p>
<p>If I should have my letter on Monday, I think this will be the first time I’ll look forward to a Monday! And hopefully it will be good to me.</p>
<p>Do they come with FA Awards?</p>
<p>Oh lord, sometimes I wish I didn’t know about this site. I don’t know how I’m going to get through the next couple of days waiting, making it worse is the fact that Monday starts the last week before winter break.</p>
<p>Congratulations to those admitted, and good luck to those waiting!</p>
<p>To those who’ve received decisions, what delivery service was used: Priority Mail, FedEX, UPS?</p>
<p>I do hope international students receive letters by Fed-Ex, since that’s superfast…</p>
<p>Mine just came in the regular mail and financial aid comes with the acceptance letter</p>
<p>Wow! Congrats all!</p>
