sarahahah that is crazy. i feel you though, i had 2200 sat and similar type other stats and was rejected from Notre Dame back in December. I'm crossing my fingers for Boston College. I have a 3.75 W gpa, which isn't very good either. If you didn't get in, I don't think I have any hope.

Fly - Don't worry - They should all be postmarked March 28th. (anyone please post if your letter is postmarked other than the 28th), as the admissions volunteers said they put all 28,500 letters in two mail trucks on Wednesday, March 28th. I have a feeling the letters are coming earlier/later due to distance & post offices. In the past, I believe they were mailed over a week's time, which is tough!

SAT II:
Lit:780

EC's: Not an incredible amount:
