Geocache Description:

Fairly easy puzzle with a p&g finish. Enjoy!

By the end of winter, we seniors begin to get our college acceptance letters, which happens to not only be one of the more stressful times of year, but also introduces the true onslaught of senioritis. We all have a dream school in mind, and this is when we finally find out. The Letter is the culmination of four years of work; studying, standardized tests, all-nighters, caffeine, etc... And although these may not necessarily be done yet, The Letter gives us seniors some reassurance, that all that work was actually worth something.

In short, The Letter is rather a big deal.

The puzzle, which I have attached as a picture (see below) is a series of words that, in practice, hopefully leads us seniors to The Letter. Your result will be a string of letters (ha!) that, when decoded correctly, will give you coordinates.

Personally, I have already received my Letter, and I will be a freshman at Tufts University in 2014. Go Jumbos!

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

Kudos if you include your college in your log!

Congrats to Mulder&Scully for the FTF!!!

Edit 8-19-14: Due to the obvious issues with this one's positioning, I am moving it a touch. Posted coordinates hold. See hint for details.
