<p>what if I have an update on my second semester courses, should I (and how) let them know? even though the decision is in three weeks...</p>
<p>Shoot, I didn't realize it was that close! I was purposely trying NOT to count down because I knew it would make things even more nervewracking for me, but I guess there's no running from it now. =S Gahhhhh!!!! 19 days from now I'll be crying -- either for joy or in sadness. We'll see.</p>
<p>oh yeah, I feel the same way. either way, I'll be crying on the 15th (or even earlier?)</p>
<p>is it just me, or does this feel like the longest month and a half ever!!!</p>
<p>I just want to know already... Its in my head 24/7 i feel like this whole college decision thing is consuming my state of mind. </p>
<p>and yeah, i totally feel those last two posts. I don't know how i will draw up the energy to work on apps for schools that aren't really where i wanted to go in the first place after being rejected... On the other hand it will be a nice birthday (20th) and christmas present to know ill be attending stanford next fall!</p>
<p>oh and do we get he mail letter on the 15th or is it mailed out on the 15th if we live outside CA?</p>
<p>I think the email is sent out on the 15th....and the letter comes later.</p>
<p>^^at least that's what it was last year.</p>
<p>Today I was freaking out a little because I was thinking "at this moment, someone at stanford could be reading my app!" =O</p>
<p>It may actually be sooner than that.
I think some people/most found out on a Wednesday last year (Dec. 13, 2006)</p>
<p>I keep envisioning two scenarios: one where I'm accepted, the other where I'm deferred (I refuse to accept the possibility of a 3rd). Over the past month I've been so vividly imagining my emotional response to either that I think I will be reasonably prepared when Dec. 15th rolls around...</p>
<p><= 18 days</p>
<p>Agh December 13!! That totally throws off our count!</p>
<p>When are they going to tell us how we're going to be notified of the decision?</p>
<p>Someone said no sleeping the week before? Hah, I'm already having issues sleeping... I get really anxious</p>
<p>I've really made myself sure of a rejection coming my way on December 15th. (Being on CC, you sometimes start to feel that way.) That'll make anything else so much sweeter, since I'm already expecting the worse. I'd be SO excited to be deferred.</p>
<p>And if I was accepted? I can't even think about it!</p>
<p>Well, only 15-17 days now, based on everything I've heard.</p>
<p>haha december 13th is my birthday. what a present.</p>
<p>If it's before the 15, it's during my finals week. So, I'll have to resist checking it until after finals, or else be really depressed : (</p>
<p>anybody know what time of day the emails came last year?</p>
<p>^Lol. Everyone's freaking out. It's kinda funny :D</p>
<p>ROFL. I have sweaty palms just typing this post now. Think about how it'll be 2-3 weeks from now!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>And the worst thing is, I believe my admissions decision has been made already.</p>
<p>FredFredBurger, how do you know? But, yeah, I believe most decisions should have been made by this point. Just imagine, at any given moment, your application might be going through the process of review. You are doing whatever you might be occupied with at the time: homework, a sport, talking to a friend...completely unaware that your application is being dealt judgment as you carry on your activities.</p>
<p>Isn't that just awful haha</p>
<p>Haha, I was just thinking about where I was/will be when they made/make the decision. I'm in the same time zone, so if it was/is the morning, I was/will be at school. If it was/is the afternoon (between 3 PM-8PM), then I will be sitting at my desk at work. And since we now can find out via computer, I probably won't do it during work. Though I'm mentally prepared for rejection (I've convinced myself that I have a better chance of getting carpal tunnel than getting into Stanford), it would be extremely unpleasant to be in the middle of the conversation with a client and break down crying over rejection, so I think I'm going to wait until that night to find out.</p>
