iRicey Oct 2018 11:10am, 3 Oct 2018 245 posts	0 iRicey I have the reason to withdraw and concur that it's probably to withdraw from the ballot and not a portent of acceptance.

iRicey Oct 2018 11:21am, 3 Oct 2018 247 posts	0 iRicey Thanks larkim. In recent years it's just been the excitement of whether you get a 'proper' rejection with a magazine, or just an email.
larkim Oct 2018 11:23am, 3 Oct 2018 5,699 posts	0 larkim I'm a ballot newbie so have yet to taste the bitter pill of the rejection email / magazine, but entered as they "stole" my GFA from me with the change in the GFA times. I wonder how excited / disappointed I'll actually be with the outcome?
SODIron © 2012 Oct 2018 11:27am, 3 Oct 2018 82 posts	0 SODIron © 2012 Most entrants will just receive a 'sorry' email...a lucky few will get a 'sorry' magazine, and from what I hear ALL SUCCESSFUL applicants will receive a 'congratulations' magazine. If this is true, I would expect magazines to be hitting the doormats next Monday and Tuesday (maybe Wednesday). Rejection emails will probably start going out from Monday however, if it's like last year, it could be a week before all ballot entries are notified. I expect social media will be awash with rejection emails next week and sprinkling of a few 'lucky' congratulations magazines.
