No, she didn't say if all of the kids were called or not. However, she did confirm that all of the acceptance packages were sent out yesterday (mine arrived today in NH), so if you got in you should be hearing pretty soon. Again, it's always worth a try to give them a call . I really hope you all get good news! Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I called my regional admissions officer. He said that I will be receiving a letter next week. He did say it was good news and bad news.

Are they mailing rejection letters next week?

I am really hoping for an acceptance letter.

How can a letter (acceptance or rejection) be both good news and bad news? That's confusing. Maybe it's a letter offering a place in the class of 2013?

So far, I haven't recieved anything.
FedEx usually comes kinda late to my house, though.

I would not mind accepting a place in the next class. I skipped a grade in middle school, anyway.

My regional admissions officer said that my letter will be mailed on Friday.

How long will FedEx take, if they use FedEx, to mail a letter to Souhtern California?

Do you have to sign for FedEx packages?

manders21390, I asked him how the letter could be good news and bad news, but he would not tell me the reason.

I asked my regional admissions officer about an extended waitlist, but he said something about multiple rounds.

Will the wave include acceptances and rejections?

Thanks, Spicychipmunk. I called admissions, like you said, and I received the information, earlier.

I did not receive a phone call, but I hope it's good news.

Last month, I did send a letter to them. My alumni interview did make my case to admissions, also.

Like I asked earlier, will the wave be a combination of acceptances and rejections? Or will it be composed of 67 letters containing acceptances?

If all the acceptances were mailed would other acceptances be mailed Friday? My alumni interview mentioned that my letter will be mailed on Friday.
