What's in Your Envelope? - NYTimes.com March 29, 2012, 5:51 am If there were an event like the Super Bowl that capped the college admissions season, then it would likely be Thursday night - beginning at 5 p.m. on the East Coast. At that time, the eight institutions of the Ivy League and other highly selective colleges and universities, including Duke and Johns Hopkins, are scheduled to make available, online, their decisions on most of the applications submitted this year in the main admissions round (usually submitted on or around Jan. 1). As has been the case on big decision nights in years past, we'd like to convene the equivalent of a virtual, communal kitchen table on The Choice blog. To this year's applicants: please use the comment box below to tell us what the colleges are telling you. Are you happy with your choices, as they now come into sharp relief? Disappointed? Or are you not sure what to feel, especially in the case of those of you who were neither rejected nor accepted but offered spots on the waiting list? And now that you're the one making the decisions, what factors will be front of mind - especially in this challenging economy? Please let us know. And for those readers who passed through this process long ago - or have yet to do so - we would like to hear from you as well, in particular with some well-chosen words of advice, reassurance and perspective. Finally, you need not wait until Thursday night to begin writing in. You can do so right now. We at The Choice are well aware that there are about 2,000 four-year colleges and universities in the United States, most of which have long since told this year's high school seniors where they stand. And with that, the floor is yours.
