Official 2008 Regular Decision Results Thread

This is a copy of an earlier post from Bptoast. You can use this handy template to report on whether you were admitted, rejected or wait-listed. You will need to delete the extra spaces between the brackets to get the formatting to work properly (the extra spaces are at the beginning of every bracketed item). Bptoast suggests changing the color to red for rejection if you want to infuse the post with a little style.

I especially enjoy the "mayor of a small town" element.

For gender, you should have put "hermaphrodite."

Rejected. No surprise, though I would have been happy going.
