<p>It's coming fast.</p>
<p>I’m so nervous/excited for you guys!</p>
<p>it’s makings its way here</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone anxiously awaiting decisions! …Lucky you guys, I still have to wait until the fall to even apply. idk how I’m ever gonna make it haha</p>
<p>Same here, Tungsten! Living it through these folks is tough enough. I can’t imagine how it’ll feel when it’s our turn…</p>
<p>Man, sucks for you guys! I don’t even know how I’ve made it this far, let alone one more year!</p>
<p>It’s funny to think that by this time next year our anxiety will be more posts from past Yale applicants, and nothing more. We will have forgotten about this and gone off to some very good schools, even if they don’t turn out to be Yale.</p>
<p>Asiantofu… I know exactly what you mean. Currently, I feel like getting into Yale would be completely life changing, but when you really think about it, we will all end up living whatever life we choose (basically). We will all end up at good schools.</p>
<p>Treat yourselves to CAKE and PIE to take your mind off things. Or read the WashU board. They’re so entertaining. The wait-listed people with high scores are battling it out with current students/accepted students with lower scores. There are at least five good active threads in that board right now :)</p>
<p>Boola boola!</p>
<p>liek srsly omg</p>
<p>lolz @mistofthekane, I’m one of the “highly qualified” waitlistees :)</p>
<p>I just don’t get it; it is common knowledge for anyone well-versed in the admissions process that WashU is shady.</p>
<p>^There’s not so much shade anymore since WashU started mailing ads to prospective students.</p>
<p>OOOOOOOH BURNED.</p>
<p>Let me make a suggestion to the juniors (and, dare I say, sophomores) on here: get off of this site until at least September or October. Personally, I feel that my anxiety has been increased by CC in many aspects, and you guys really should try to enjoy everything that you have left to do in high school. Seniors, am I way off, or does someone feel my pain?</p>
<p>pswib, I agree with you. I did not start posting on CC until I was into application season. For younger students here sharing our anxiety, my message is likewise to get off this site until at least the summer. There’s no point in living this twice.</p>
<p>Actually, if you want to get started early, look into more scholarships now and check out some lesser known schools. Those are the two things I would have done differently had I known at your stage.</p>
<p>pswib, you are 100% correct. Being on this site around decision time is pretty scary (I went through it with SCEA… then I got deferred and now am going through it again), and it doesn’t do much to ease your own anxiety when you see dozens of other people freaking out just as badly or worse than you are. It just adds to the blood pressure >.> lol</p>
<p>Enjoy your lives! :D</p>
<p>Oh, and one extra note: when application time comes and you still have essays to write, please try to avoid this site until you finish. This site is procrastinator-central, and it’s too easy to get caught up on the forums when you should be trying to write. I spent so much time putting things off until it was the week before deadlines and I still had 5 essays to write… Don’t be like me!!! :[</p>
<p>18 days…</p>
<p>more like 18 years of preparation, sweating, thinking, dreaming, hoping, writing, working…</p>
<p>More like 17 days, 18 hours, 32 minutes, 35 seconds…</p>
<p>CC is comforting in some ways, but mostly it just makes me more anxious. Everything works out in the end. I really think most people could be happy at most places. CC just makes people think too much into the details and that leads to unhappiness.</p>
<p>pswib i agree with you </p>
<p>18 dayys blaaah
it still seems so far off</p>
<p>i mean not as bad a 60 or something but still ;)</p>
<p>I think cc is best taken in sporadically massive doses. (ie as sats approach, as you make your list, deadlines approach, early notification, regular) Basically a few weeks of relaxation, then a month of paranoia. I think cc probably calmed me down during junior year when I was picking schools. but this last month… it just freaks me out.</p>
