The mailbox watch is on

Some of the students got letters that their applications were being reviewed and they'd get something in the mail in mid-October, others got rejection letters because their applications were not in order, I got NOTHING.

What does it mean? The funny thing is, I know I have enough points that if I don't get in, no one stands a chance. Also, I got a letter stating my application was in order before the deadline. But I won't rest till that mailbox gives me what I want! What does it mean?:specs: :confused:

I'm doing the mailbox shuffle also....I hope that both our letter will arrive soon. Although I was given the choice of attending the evening/weekend program in January or next Fall (I chose next Fall on my response letter) The letter indicated that we should be recieving our packets in early October...it's almost mid-October!!!:o . Well, I still have next week....hurry up already!!!

I got my first news today that the letters are out and are starting to show up in student mailboxes. A friend of mine got a rejection letter. The point cutoff was 17 and she didn't make it.

On the other hand, I have 22 so I think I can safely say that I have been accepted. It will be incredibly satisfying to get my package and show it to anyone who will look at it... especially the ex who said I'd never make it!!:p Oh sweet victory! Yippeeeee

I also have a friend who received a rejection today, and she said the cutoff point was 17.5. I have 18, and have started shopping for my first stethoscope, even though I'm still waiting for my letter. OH, m'god...I suddenly feel scared to death, but very excited!!! :balloons:

I am impatiently waiting for my letter of acceptance. I found out today that the letters will be mailed next week. I started looking for a letter two weeks ago hoping they were being sent out Oct. 1st. Anyways, since I have been watching my mailbox, between my daughter and myself we have received around 7 letters from the college. It is torture to see the college's return address and not be the envelope I am looking for. :rolleyes:

I've got 17 points too, but they keep raising the points to get in! :angryfire The counselor said, 23 points is the new cut off! Dang, I'll probably get another "Thanks for applying....BUT..."

UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! :uhoh3:

Our letters won't come out until November too. I'm not really too hopeful. Next sem, I'll prob take med math and med term, just to keep me fresh for next fall. Heather

Well, I was sure there would be a letter of one sort or another today, since some folks got rejections yesterday, but NOTHING! I was sure the agony was over, but it looks like I have at least 24 more hours of waiting, maybe more.

Our letters were supposedly mailed Oct 15, so I figured mine would be in my mailbox today. It's only across town. I drove 20 miles out of my way, so I could come home and check my mailbox at noon. It wasn't there! I sorted through the junk mail 3 times to make sure I didn't miss it. Hopefully it comes tomorrow, if I have to wait until next week, I will have an ulcer.

That's exactly the type of behavior I've been exhibiting. Even though I know I'm in, I want to see it in writing to take it from something intangible to something tangible. Nothing in my life has made do this type of behavior to this extent. Maybe because it's something I've been waiting for for some 25 odd years? Now I'm wondering what's the next big thing we'll be stressing/waiting/nail crunching over.

I'm in the same position as Kitty, pretty sure but waiting for confirmation. I've suddenly started to go from feeling excited and relieved to oddly scared. The reality is settling in, and I know there's no turning back, which is weird, because I was full-steam ahead for the past year until now! I think it feels like an astronaut strapped in a rocket listening to the countdown, and knowing your chance to put on the brakes is over. The rocket is going up.
