<p>now who says they threw in a SORT clause with the database query. Probably just random.</p>
<p>no, not international first, 2 calif kids have heard. I give up on the logic of this. Must be app number! That’s the only theory I havn’t tried yet!</p>
<p>Yes, it’s random - 2 internationals on the chat say they haven’t got it</p>
<p>has anyone called the admissions office?
b/c this is getting crazy</p>
<p>Probably has to do with the order you applied.</p>
<p>Faaaaaaaaaaacccck</p>
<p>Since someone mentioned the email includes an attachment (pdf), we may have to watch our spam folder in case it ends up there.</p>
<p>You might be on to something Ailey. My son is a “B” and hasn’t heard. He applied on October 28, so he would have a high app number I presume.</p>
<p>How does the “app number” theory fly with others out there?</p>
<p>This is quite a change from the “olden’” days of snail mail and no internet forums to create this “bonding” experience during this seemingly interminable wait.</p>
<p>On the bright side, I told my son, when (ha, ha – if) he gets in, he should look up some of the CC posters!</p>
<p>mails from other people/organization/colleges came one by one…F…no stanford…</p>
<p>Humor of the min:
How do you keep kids from partying on a Friday night - announce your decisions mid-afternoon!!</p>
<p>Most of the schools don’t use the Common App number…they have their own. It’s probably either random or based on a listing order we don’t know about.</p>
<p>But what is going on? Yale people found out immediately at 5:00 p.m…</p>
<p>My daughter sent it in Oct 1, that’s why I am thinking now it must be app number, since she must have a low app number, and she heard at 3:15. Every other theory has been shot down. Her friends are still waiting, as is my nephew…</p>
<p>haha rr34. so true… god this is terrible</p>
<p>I applied on October 15th, I know…so I think I was decently early? But there of course people who probably applied back in July/August right when the Common App came out!</p>
<p>Regardless, it’ll come. I’ve just resigned myself to wait. I have to–after sitting in front of this computer for TWO HOURS now.</p>
<p>I hear the bell on Hover tower ringing 5 times - ding dong ding dong ding…</p>
<p>So your D got in Ailey? If so, congratulations!</p>
<p>Maybe they are making last minute acceptance decisions…or maybe they are procrastinating until the last minute like everyone else…or maybe they are inebriated.</p>
<p>One in the chat room got accepted - imevil555</p>
<p>His/her stats?</p>
<p>yes, she did, thank you. But I feel really bonded with everyone on this board, so after driving to her school to give her a hug, I have been waiting here, just like all of you. This is a wonderful little community, and I’ve been touched and moved by how everyone has supported everyone else…</p>
