Good luck every one. Remember all the kids are awesome.

This is deflating. We applied to the "Big 5" and haven't received a single "thanks for interest" note. :/

Do not worry about this! Mo notes at all last year and got into 4 out of 5 appked to. Good luck!!

Notes from some but not all. Accepted at each. Friends got notes at the schools we got notes from and were not accepted (or were). Others didn't get notes at the ones we didn't get notes from and were not accepted (or were). I think this is more a function of each school's policies and process than a "hint" at what the result will be. Been through this twice at the HS level and once for college. Decisions are tomorrow for DC area independents for the most part. Just hang tight. Things have a way of working out.

What do you tell acquaintances, friends, and neighbors when they ask?

This is 100 percent a fantastic sign. The means they are now courting YOU instead of the other way around!

We didn't receive a handwritten note from the "top 3" (though we didn't apply to all of them - just a few). I'd take it as a good sign.

WOW! That is a wildly good sign. They WANT YOU!

We only received the stock "check Ravenna on Friday" email from GDS. Crickets from other schools. Also ready for tomorrow over here!

Fingers crossed for everyone.

It was a nice email.

You only applied to a few of the Top 3?

OK.

I'm not that PP but obviously they are trying to say they applied to 2/3.
