Things I got in the mail today:
- An advertisement for a paper shredder
- A magazine about birds (we don't own a bird at all)
- A menu for a strange Chinese restaurant
... and NO LETTER. Going by the above comments (and the fact my last name is near the end of the alphabet) I'm hoping it will get here either tomorrow or Monday. Aargh.

@jeffisaboss Honestly, nobody on this thread knows anything more than the next person. We've definitely seen a trend of acceptances/rejections but that could also be a bizarrely strange coincidence. The letters received today seem to be all acceptances, and the letters earlier in the week were all rejections... so maybe? I know, I know... but you'll know soon enough so KEEP YOUR FAITH (and have some chocolate to tide you over)

@mathnerd158 neither have I, and my last name starts with "S" too. I'm assuming our letters arrive sometime between tomorrow and Monday afternoon

Lol @ the nervous people. Also, the rejection first theory can't be true, since I have yet to receive anything and I totally bombed the test.

well it might be based on your building you took the exam so yeah

Got accepted
I had perfect or almost perfect on the easy math, ~65 on the science section, and 19/20 for the challenge math.
Rising junior and my last name begins with a Z.

EDIT:
Can someone who has been in this program before recommend any courses or share their experiences? Right now, I'm interested in the "From Nanoscience to Nanotechnology" course.

Got in. Got the letter this morning. Congrats to everyone.

MadBeast

damn gratz, you get mail mad early, where do you live?

Thalaiva

Haha, central NJ. I went to the post office anyway to see if it was there.

LiquidK

^ haha you actually went to the post office? You must have been really anxious...

DARN, I GOT NOTHING. It's been 10 days after the date they gave us! Do you guys think I should call the COL-SHP Office and ask 'What the heck?', or wait until Monday the 23rd to burst out my frustration?
I know that I have less than 1 percent chance of getting in, but the way they do this is still very distressing.
And I live in Westchester, New York.

@daphneloveschem: I would say, wait till Monday. the acceptances are being sent out later and so you have more than a 1% chance of getting in!

Relax and enjoy your weekend.

Daughter got in today, we are excited.
