According to their Terms and Conditions, you have to either be: a current college student, accepted to a college or university, a parent of a college student/accepted student, or a faculty member. How this promo works is you buy your MacBook and iPod touch as normal, and then afterward, you can send in a rebate form to reimburse you for the cost of the iPod. It's likely that they ask for a .edu address on the form, but if so, I am not sure how they handle the case of "accepted students." If you have any friends with a .edu address, then I'd say go for it. You may be able to get it without the .edu address, but having access to one might help.

Also, there has been some talk of people receiving free iPod touches on the spot when purchasing a new MacBook at BestBuy, as a response to the Apple promo. The advantage to this is you don't have to do a rebate, and you get the free iPod immediately. So, this may also be worth a shot. You can read about that here:
