<p>Reading this board, I think the most humane way that schools give out results is the way St. Paul’s and some other schools do it - acceptances, waitlists, rejections all online, all at the same time. </p>
<p>I have sympathy for those of you who applied to schools that have you waiting for days by the front window looking for the UPS truck or mailman…</p>
<p>I agree, they’re destroying us kids.</p>
<p>Well, in all honesty, no one should still be waiting for the UPS truck. Is there some reason to prolong things?.</p>
<p>I agree with you, suze. If they were my kids, they would not be sitting there waiting… guys - go do something else, I know it’s hard but you’re making it worse on yourselves.</p>
<p>My weekend was packed… I had been really anxious the few weeks before March 10, but March 9, 10, and 11 were actually more carefree because I had other things to think about! haha. </p>
<p>Well, actually, I’m international so I wouldn’t be receiving any mail notification for a few days & I knew that my dad would call me the minute the results came online. :P</p>
<p>I know! It’s terrible. They ought to do all of it at the same time. It’s not fair for some kids to make assumptions because they didn’t get their letter when they thought they would. </p>
<p>Like I know some kids who still had lots of hope.</p>
<p>& Then today in school I asked a kid in school, “Where did you get in, ‘Sally Smith’?” </p>
<p>She’s like, just Middlesex, and I haven’t heard from Andover…yet.</p>
<p>SO I was like “SO you’re going to Middlesex?”</p>
<p>& she’s like “I don’t know, I’m still waiting on Andover’s UPS!!!”</p>
<p>I was like ohh, okay!!!</p>
<p>I feel bad they put kids though this…</p>
<p>The process in known upfront. Students enter into the process voluntarily. How each student copes is individual. What is a shame is that students don’t fully investigate the process prior to engagement.</p>
