Watch These People Dole Out the Fates of Thousands of High Schoolers

Maybe you've already heard about the record-low 7.86% admit rate out of 26,664 applications, but in this digital age you've probably forgotten that all 26,664 of those strivers still need to be notified by mail, by physical things made of out paper. Which makes for a lot of paper. Check out admissions folk loading all those fateful letters onto trucks outside West College today, circa 2 PM:I wonder what kind of letters they are holding, and whether they have adjusted their facial expressions accordingly.

Generally looking pretty stolid -- hard to read into the emotions. But my tentative guess is, from left to right, admit, reject, waitlist, waitlist, reject, reject, reject. More importantly, none of them look as gleefully sadistic as these guys. Best of luck to all those on the receiving end of these letters;  you've still got a solid hour before you get to convulse in front of your computer screens (whether positively or negatively).
