(No need to worry, though: Ivy League rats are much cleaner than their subway/sewer brethren.)

Have the admits been mailed to permanent or current addresses?

[CoaltoNewCastle]

I decided to walk down to my mailbox here at my apartment on Staten Island just in case they mailed it here, even though I was pretty sure they would send it to my parents in Maryland. I open the mailbox and there's a big package/envelope, but it turned out to just be a used book I ordered on Amazon.

In. In New Jersey.

176/3.9, complete 12/2. My status checker still says "complete."

Congrats to the other admits and good luck to everyone still waiting!

Congratulations! I feel like running around throwing confetti for all of you.

Well shit. Now I'll be scared to check my mail for the next week.

Edit: Mail just came and I freaked out because there was a manilla envelope in it. Turned out to be a keychain and post it note from William and Mary. Horray?

William and Mary has been annoying. Somebody should tell them that they were my test application to make sure I didn't screw up an application to a school I cared about. I don't want to tell them though, that would be weird. I'm withdrawing soon anyway.

Edit: Also I don't have the inflated sense of entitlement that this post indicates!

The Columbia envelope is a weird color, so that should give it away when you peek in the mailbox! Kind of a pale yellow-green.

scholarships come with acceptances right? anyone heard?

[englawyer]

any rejections?

That sounds gross. I'd still like one though...

+1 So far NYU's purple has been the most pleasant thing to see in the mailbox.

[babaghanouj]

I wonder how often the admissions staff lurks this thread to see the responses...

[4910]

if i applied in early november, should i expect something in the mail on monday if i live in the south?

[of Benito Cereno]

any international applicants hear anything? are they not emailing this year?

[of Benito Cereno]

scholarships come with acceptances right? anyone heard?

Someone posted a 135,000 scholarship on lsn.

However, I think it is only the named scholarships that come right away. I think there is some merit and aid money given later. Anybody around from last cycle to confirm this?

[Kretzy]

Congrats to the first wave of acceptances! Eagerly awaiting my inevitable "hold" out west...

[BenJ]

Congrats to all of you! Hoping I get an acceptance fairly soon...

[holborn]

IN! submitted mid-december.
I didnt check TLS before I got my mail this morning (crazy, i know). I opened it to find an envelope, but didnt see the school name. My mailbox is tiny and it had become stuck. it took me about 2 min to get it out. almost had a heart attack.
