[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this infuriating.  People are adults.  Why not just e-mail all results.  This is so dishonest and disrespectful.  The haves and have nots.  Really makes me wonder about the school.  [/quote]

I don't understand the hysteria. Everyone is notified via snail mail. Those that are accepted receive an email with a contract. End of story. This is how it worked last year as well and I don't remember any fuss then. [/quote]

I think that the furor is over the misinformed and wrong receptionist in the admissions office who incorrectly told understandably anxious parents that no emails were sent out. [/quote]

Is this really such a big deal? Sorry I can't understand. Last year we didn't receive our e-mail until later that day. People were posting in DC Urban Mom. I thought we were not admitted. I never thought of calling the school the same day the admissions decisions were out (talking about planning...) When your server has to manage sending out so many e-mails some might get earlier to their addressees than others. 
And please, do not crucify the receptionist. She might have committed a mistake, not a crime.

And regarding the anxiety. Some of the calls to the school were made around 10-11am.... IMO is somewhat worrisome that some people get such level of anxiety over a school admission -and do not have the patience to wait until the next day (or the end of the day at least) to learn about if their DC have been admitted or not.

I don't blame the receptionist at all. I blame the admissions office.[/quote]
