<p>CONGRATS YANKEE! I think we’re in the same boat, as I also sent in an art supplement. Like you, they said they would mail my decision on the 3rd. However I came home only to be deferred from Albany, and another white envelope. I was hoping it isn’t from Bing, and thankfully it was just RIT info letter. They mailed it on the 3rd, but it’s not here yet. I’m kinda starting to lose it. ):</p>
<p>I see that the “bad news” is starting to get sent out.</p>
<p>Please post your stats even if it is bad news to help future applicants understand their chances.</p>
<p>@datguyaj,
You’ll be fine, the supplement does help a lot. Don’t let your hopes up or down. Just sit tight, maybe you’ll hear tomorrow? My letter is dated December 31</p>
<p>Hey aasupreme did you receive your decision in mail or email?</p>
<p>Regular mail. Not even an email to go along with it which kind of surprised me.</p>
<p>uh oh… guess I was wrong about acceptance letters being mail only</p>
<p>My best friend got deferred today as well. I STILL have not heard anything yet.</p>
<p>I think rejections come email only and acceptances and defferals come in the mail.</p>
<p>Seems to make sense. Sorry to hear the news, AAsupreme23, I’m sure you’ll knock 'em out in the RD pool. Man, I’m about to have a stroke from all the anxiety.</p>
<p>AAsupreme, I got deferred as well. The anticipation of waiting even longer to hear is going to suck.</p>
<p>I got deferred today too. Good luck to everybody else.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s the worst part about it. I think I have a good chance of getting in RD but I really wanted to get accepted ha</p>
<p>thanks datguy, i hope so</p>

<p>Jimrim123, those are amazing stats to get deferred; maybe you’re in one of those schools like Stuyvesant where everyone is really smart and all apply to Binghamton? My kid hasn’t heard anything yet.</p>
<p>im starting to doubt the fact that they don’t look at your ethnicity/race…and the thing is that many people in my school with similar or lower stats compared to me got in!! i don’t know what went wrong</p>

<p>General Comments
Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed in myself. I mucked up my junior year, which is what I really blame this on. I hope my MidYear can pick up for that, since I’m averaging 90+ at the moment. I worked really hard for Binghamton, and it’s pretty disheartening to get deferred. Oh well, another 3 months. Thanks to College Confidential for all they’ve done for me.</p>
