<p>Any word on MA letters yet? I’m in a very confused and overanalyzing mood right now, seeing as a friend of mine two towns over in MA just received a deferral letter…and I didn’t get anything in the mail today. I would understand if acceptance letters got here first, in which case I would assume I had been deferred…but this is just confusing.</p>
