<p>This girl who graduated last year got rejected from Georgetown but got into both Yale and Harvard. She ended up going to harvard, what a fool. :p</p>
<p>I kind of prefer email…it feels more personal if I’m refreshing my inbox and not some huge server everyone’s accessing…I think I’m just strange though. But it’s more likely to have the college server crash and overload than like…gmail’s server.</p>
<p>I feel the same way about the e-mail. I fear that I won’t find out till about 10 the next morning from Yale because everyone will be refreshing. I don’t plan on sleeping till I find out.</p>
<p>For Columbia and Harvard…
You know if you have g-mail, a little box pops out when you get an e-mail saying who it’s from and the first sentence of the message. I’m glad I sent the colleges my hotmail address instead of my g-mail address because I don’t want to know my decision until I actually open the e-mail, not have it suddenly pop up out of nowhere onto my computer.</p>
<p>So Brown is staggered? </p>
<p>Because I thought the general time was 5:00PM, but I got an e-mail saying 6:00 PM. Do you think everyone’s is posted at 5:00PM, but they’re just hoping some people check later?</p>
<p>hah, that would be very interesting… it would really be a good surprise if you got in</p>
<p>I could always change my Harvard e-mail back to AOL, but I think I like it better so I don’t have to see the whole letter to start with.</p>
<p>If I get a good opening sentence, AKA “Congratulations” or the like then I would open the e-mail, but if it is “Excepetional Applicants” or so then might just step back a few minutes.</p>
<p>
That shouldn’t happen - I didn’t have any problems finding out right at 5 PM for EA. Besides, most people (i.e., those not smart enough to check CC, hehe ;)) think the decisions will be posted April 1st at 5 PM, not March 31st at 5 PM.</p>
<p>
I’m sure the email will have a generic title, like “Harvard Admissions Decision” or something, so you won’t be able to tell what the news is until you open it.</p>
<p>Brown is supposedly staggered. I know they had some problems with overload ED and that was a lot less people. I think it goes from 5-7 by the half hour. The email said specifically “no earlier than __pm, your LOCAL TIME” but I’m still going to check starting at like 4. hehe</p>
<p>and yea I know what you mean about the gmail. They also have like the beginning of the letter blurb thing in the inbox. Mine’s going to be sent to gmail >.< eeesh</p>
<p>no vivaldi, gmail gives you the beginning of the actual email next to the subject, but you can turn that feature off.</p>
<p>i dont understand why they dont all send by email like columbia … must cost them a fortune at yale brown cornell etc… in servers to make sure it doesnt go down when 20000 people access their decisions within a few minutes…</p>
<p>It’s more secure than sending it through the web and they can’t guarantee that nobody else can access your email. Lots of people give passwords to friends or something.</p>
<p>
Oh, didn’t know that - I think I would turn it off for this week…:)</p>
<p>So did anyone notice this nice little message on the Yale website?</p>
<p>"Regular Decision letters will be mailed on Thursday, March 31st. </p>
<p>Online decisions will be available at 5 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 31st. "</p>
<p>So now it’s officially on March 31. Sorry if this little bit is old news… but anyway, good luck to all!</p>
<p>Yea, I saw that WillowEln, but does that mean that officially it is the 31st, so actually we should all check tomorrow, the 30th at 5:00? I think I am gonna… (cause i have a soccer game on thursday, and i wion’t be back till late… :() But then again, i have soccer practice tomorrow, which doesn’t end till 6:00… so… we’ll see</p>
<p>I think it will be on the 31st. That’s the ivy agreement date…unless I’m mistaken in the past years it was on that day? For EA they didn’t have such an agreement and Yale was notifying after a couple of other ivies, so I think that’s a different story.</p>
<p>I see. thanks zant. but darn nonetheless. I do remember in december… yale was a bit later than everyone else.</p>
<p>Calling Columbia, Cornell, Berkeley, Brown, Yale And Princeton
----please Let Me In!!</p>
<p>maybe the “and” should be an “or” there brwneye… those are all great. having one is great. afterall, you’re only going to ONE college. let others have some luck too?</p>
<p>i tried logging into yale online decision site… but it just redirects me to acitivating my account. is this right?</p>
<p>is this the site to get the decision online?
