I came on tonight because I wanted to say a few things I thought may be helpful.

1. Phone calls are probably just a courtesy for the students they know well.(can you say who yours is without looking at your email or online?) It’s out of their personal time too, so they could be wanting to enjoy their weekend too. Plus, it is not an indication of a student’s decision - it’s clear many students are admitted without one.

2. I’ve been told that they release by mail because they like having everything together in the letter (financial aid and 3 year programs in particular). Personally, I don’t mind this too much. I hate the idea of waiting for weeks after for the rest of the details.

3. They only reason it seems like AU doesn’t have their stuff together with notifying is because we now all know instantly of decisions and who gets them first because of websites like this and facebook. They’ve been pretty clear on when everything’s released (they even mentioned via twitter). Coming on here just makes me nervous!

Just some thoughts… And maybe it’s best to disconnect for a few days to lower the nerves (why this is my first post ;)).
