I blame the economy

An email I received this morning, the third of it's kind:

Thank you for submitting your application to [university]. We very much appreciate your interest in the School.

You can check the status of your application at any time and see which documents and test scores have been received by logging into your account. We anticipate that admission decisions will be announced sometime around the third week in March.

We have received a record-breaking number of applications this year, and consequently still have some credentials that need to be processed and entered into the system. If you have submitted materials that are not appearing online as being received, this probably means that your credentials have been delivered to our office but have not yet been entered into the system. We are updating these records as quickly as possible, so please do not re-send documents. We will notify you if your application is incomplete.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and thank you again for your interest in the [school].

Meaning: the economy blows so hard right now that no one can get a job so they're all going back to school. You're screwed, dude.

Argh. Just tell me I didn't get accepted so I can stop waiting, okay?
