Still in the game

I think they are buried in snow and just not getting as much done as usual. I noticed on their FB page that they have not responded to the last few questions and since they are always prompt with their replies, I'm assuming they are just not working at full capacity. Hard to imagine while I sit here in shorts and flip-flops waiting for that BFE hidden under the Burger King coupons to be delivered.
 
Wompwomp how I'd love to be waiting in shorts and flip flops! I'm living in the never ending winter.

Shorts & flip flops...

WompWomp,

As you are awaiting the mail in shorts & flip flops, I surmise you are a resident of California or Florida?

Our DS and his two angst-laden parents are sweating it out here in balmy Southern California.

Best,
Dadmiral
 
it just HAS to be easier waiting in shorts and flip flops than in this never-ending winter....seriously! ;)
 
If you guys think you have it bad, I'm sitting in the ice box that is Alaska in hopeful anticipation of a BFE. Mail always takes a couple extra days to get here too :biggrin:

triple nommed and 3qd, I'm literally stalking the mailbox every day hoping that a BFE will grace my mailbox. :)

Goodluck to everyone else, I hope we hear news within the next week or so!

Not easier, just less time spent digging out to get to the mail box. We are in Northern California here and though DS has gotten into his B,C and D schools, we are still waiting for the mail every day and checking the portal for NROTC.:cool: But in shorts and flip flops we just do it with style :cool:

No news is still good news. Ok, you win on the cold weather. Best of luck!
 
Oh yikes, I'm sorry about your snow, hopefully with your BFE comes some sunshine and heat! Btw, just got the mail... Kohls coupons, the PennySaver and a Pier One catalog. We continue our wait here in dry as dust California, but better than buried in snow. Good luck all and stay warm!
 
We've been through this before.
Look for the log-jam to break a little bit next week; but more stressed days and weeks ahead for most.
Stay calm - You are in the finals now.
 
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many TWE's have gone out?

No precise number; but quite a few.
Please also keep in mind - as I posted earlier this week - that only 20% of all in-coming high school applicant appointments had been slotted by Admissions as of mid-week last week. That doesn't mean that Admissions doesn't already have a pretty good idea of who will probably receive the remaining 80%; but just hasn't slotted them yet.
 
Prepswimmom, I'm rooting for you and your son. You've been posting what I've been thinking. Here in CT, after every snow storm, I tell my sons to shovel out the mailbox first! I'll be looking for your son on the appointed students page and hoping my son's name will be on
the line just behind yours!
 
Oh thank you Sportsmom4. Even if, God forbid, things don't work out I will be forever grateful for the support of this forum. That said, I do so hope we all meet on I-Day! It's been quite an experience.

Today i ran in the door yelling nothing but bills! We are now celebrating no news. My DS is now at stage of scared to go to mailbox so we are cheering for no news. So few have posted on TWE we just assumed they havent gone out yet beyond those who didnt finish application etc
 
Copy that Sportsmom4! I would be interested to meet on I-day some of the other candidates from this forum. Although I too am still waiting on the BFE. :rolleyes:
 
I just want to say how good it feels to read a thread like this - feels great to chuckle and down-right laugh with others who understand this dragging process and stalking the mailbox. Thank you forum!!
 
Yes. No one can understand what craziness we are going through! I feel blessed to have you all of you! Love to have a toast ion I day with you all! God willing!

It is a relief to know that I am not the only one who has made that "mail transition" from excitement to dread

I agree! This forum is the only place where people get it! It is always such a long explanation to give to everyone else...and even then they don't comprehend the anxiety!

Cheers!!
