<p>USPS Express and Fedex are both equally pricey. Bowdoin may have split the delivery between the two services, which is possible because the volume of mail may have been too much for a single carrier to handle.</p>
<p>waitlisted</p>
<p>damn</p>
<p>3.63, 2270, pretty good everything else</p>
<p>Sorry about the waitlist. The person accepted yesterday said he or she got a big package. What is the size of a waitlist?</p>
<p>small normal envelope…felt somewhat thick because of the little business reply mail card that asks whether or not i want a place on the waitlist</p>
<p>Thanks for the info - this whold college thing has made me irrational</p>

Your thoughts on your decision: B.S. Bowdoin’s my #1 choice school. Some gilr in my school got it… she def. didnt deserve it.</p>
<p>I got today a FEDEX door tag of failed delivery attempt. I was curious, if they shipped Fedex does that mean the envelope is big, whic menas I got accepted? Has anyone gotten a rejection or waitlisted through Fedex?</p>
<p>i don’t think so…i got rejected and it came in the normal envelopes they’ve been sending stuff in the whole time. small, white with “Bowdoin” in a black square on it…you know</p>
<p>Did it came through FEDEX?</p>
<p>im pretty sure they’ve only shipped the acceptances thru fedex…</p>
<p>there would be no reason to send a little envelope (rejection or waitlist) by fedex…</p>
<p>so basically, should i be expecting a rejection/waitlist if i havent gotten anything from fedex/priority USPS yet?</p>
