<p>yeah, I thought that was understood by most students but apparently not. I’ve seen some poster posted that they responded to 2 SIRs.</p>
<p>Also one student posted that he got rejected from Penn state honors(not even waitlisted) but he sent in additional information and just got in. It’s definitely very encouraging news.</p>
<p>RE: Penn State
According to an article posted elsewhere Penn State had 52,283 applications, but admitted 41,335. It did not state how many were selected for the Honors Program.</p>
<p>well penn state is tricky…because penn state main campus probably had 52,000 apps but they probably only admitted 20,000 or something. then the remaining 20,000 were satellite campus’d</p>
<p>“The meltdown will be in August.” I couldn’t resist pointing out the term “melt” is used when students who have responded do not turn up on campus (whether they get into late waitlist situations or whatever). But Columbia_Student got it right–there will be mega meltdowns as more kids than ever will have to make very late choices which affect the next four years. Yikes.</p>
<p>I don’t quite see why there would be mega meltdowns in August. The wait lists are over all small numbers. Also, I don’t understand why anyone would put down more than one deposit. You can lose your admission. If you have a good choice, just stick with it.</p>
<p>I think Madbean is using “mega meltdown” to refer to intensity, not volume 
I am so bad at decision-making that I can’t bear to even think about how hard that would be for a freshman to suddenly switch gears and envision herself at an entirely different school than she’s been planning to attend. </p>
<p>In the case of USC Spring admits, they are in a unique position of being able to hedge a bit on the double deposit thing: no deposit is required until July, so I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of kids have committed to a second school while they wait to see if they’re moved up to fall.</p>
<p>1 more day!</p>
<p>do u know what time the emails are supposed to come?</p>
<p>i wouldn’t be all set up for a specific time like its a “decision round” email from a college. i’m willing to bet its done by each region’s counselor at whatever time they feel like or around a certain time.</p>
<p>Anyone have a status change yet?</p>
<p>no! not since 4/19… which is the day they got it</p>
<p>Well, its midnight in SoCal, so if they were gonna like send them all immediately, they would have, and they didn’t. Now I have to go to sleep and panic at school all day. Great.</p>
<p>this will be the slowest and longest day ever.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the very best of luck, and that you receive great news today! I know how much you want this and I think you all deserve to have successful appeals.</p>
<p>no email yet… going to go enjoy my senior ditch day and hopefully something will show up later today. good luck guys</p>
<p>not in my mail today in NJ</p>
<p>not in the mail in norcal. still no email either…</p>
<p>i guess theyre not sending out the email today.</p>
<p>Hmm, I called today and the woman told me we’d get the e-mail by the end of today.</p>
<p>Also, it’s no surprise that no one received any mail today. Past threads indicate that the letter arrives days after the e-mail comes.</p>
<p>ooo so in the next like 47 min!</p>
