<p>Slicer, about where do you live in Florida? I want to get mine today, not have to wait until freaking Monday. It’s such bs that Princeton can’t post online… people in NJ find out three days before us, what bs.</p>
<p>no mail in upstate Ny, do deferrals and rejections come priority too, or just acceptances?</p>
<p>I’m in Port St Lucie, just south of Okeechobee, north of West Palm.</p>
<p>I think just acceptances come in Priority mail but I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Wind: You’re a bit south of me, and I haven’t received my mail yet, so maybe there’s still hope (especially if I’m accepted because they are priority mail 
)</p>
<p>yeah i was wondering that…do the deferrals come priority mail as well?</p>
<p>adding to the previous question- do intl deferrees get their mail via ups as well?</p>
