<p>haha i love it when newbies come on the board asking “HEY HOW DO I DO ONE OF THOSE IGGLY WIGGLY SMILEYS???”</p>
<p>Hey, guys will u tell what is written in one WAITLIST LETTER?
Sorry, I confess I don’t know it exactly.
Please help.</p>
<p>it says that ur as competitive as any other acceptee bu dur to li mited seats, ur on the waitlist…our yeild falls low…we’ll take u in</p>
<p>it also says that you will definately have a great future at a place you want (yeah right) and that they are sorry to be the bearers of such news (yeah right again)</p>
<p>Because I’m sadistic, I’ll copy and paste my Carleton letter.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Can’t say I’m happy they decided to capitalize “Wait List” and put it into two words. 
Seems to give it more emphasis. I’m also not that happy they said if I had applied a few years ago, I probably would’ve gotten in, but now it’s the waitlist.</p>
<p>Gee…sorry…can’t help the year I’m born in and that I’m no genius, so I can’t go skipping grades…</p>
<p><em>wails</em></p>
<p>P.S. I typed this from the letter I got in the mail so if there are typos, it’s my fault.</p>
<p>Banedon - Yeah, I totally remember how we did the whole smiley “practice” in the other thread. (Thanks for starting it, btw!) 
Good memories.</p>
<p>acceptance - <em>HUGS YOU</em> From what I heard, Vassar isn’t as lethal with the waiting list as WUStL is, for instance. <em>HUGS YOU AGAIN</em> You got a foot in the door, at least…</p>
<p>“I suspect that crystal ball gazing might be as effective as statistical calculation in predicting the outcome of our April admission offers.”</p>
<p>The line that I have not read in any other waitlist/rejection letter. Seems like an original line ! I appreciate this originality. <em>thumbs up</em></p>
<p>blah</p>
<p>Sorry about swat Ronty ! I sure wish you Good Luck with your other colleges !!!
Izzy, that wait list sounds promissing ! I sure hope u still get in !Thanks for struggling to type that mail for us 
I think tomorrow I will find out about Smith and Mount Holyoke !! I am dead worried !!</p>
<p>just got email from Emory saying they can’t let me know the result by email or phone. But how the heck some ppl here already found out by email? so disappointed… :(</p>
<p>waiting for Vandy admission and already worn out; gotta go to bed soon cuz I have this big Spanish test tommorow morning. (sigh) still wandering btw forums, though :)</p>

<p>I have applied to 13 colleges. I am waiting for decisions from Duke, JHU, Vanderbilt, and all Ivies except Yale. What about you?</p>
<p>Wow! see, you have still many to go! don’t worry about rejections anymore.</p>
<p><em>Bigbird hug</em></p>
