Loric Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I am sitting here bawling after opening my mail. Had an awful day and super stressed out over work - and I've mentioned opening the mail is a stressful experience thanks to the school I want to get into sending me constant "stuff" in the mail but not an accept/reject. Today, it was an innocuous tiny envelope. All their other stuff was ultra glossy or came in a big box from UPS. I said their mailed stuffed stressed me out but this tiny envelope - obviously not marketing or info session material.. But not the normal size of a letter caused me pause. My admissions advisor sent me a birthday card! A hand written birthday card! Gah!?!?!? Who are these people and why are they torturing me?!?!?

Would seem odd to send you that and then reject you a week later. Edited January 10, 2014 by Gnome Chomsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loric Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 So far no one else seems to have ever gotten one from admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loric Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ok. Ok. Googled it. It's not unheard of - and not just my advisor either. But they are ALL admitted students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficent999 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 What degree program are you applying to? swins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legan Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 That's awesome! That's practically an acceptance in itself. No one would be cruel enough to wish you a happy birthday, and then shatter your dreams. ...Right? My birthday is going to fall just before decisions for my programs roll out. Okay, I can't think about this any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
