<p>17 days! ogmogmomgomgomgogmogm I wanna get in soooo badly D:</p>
<p>I hereby bless this thread with good luck. Whoosh.</p>
<p>wait it’s 3PM east coast time right? that’s 3 hours less anxiety!</p>
<p>Kill this thread, please? Everytime I see this, I get nervous like crap</p>
<p>Why? haha I love this thread!! Just don’t look at it…</p>
<p>There are officially under 17 days left! 
</p>
<p>I’m excited because it’s Thanksgiving break… I can get all of my other apps done and by the time we all get back to school there will only be 11 more days of waiting! Then it will be SAT weekend before we know it and then that next Friday we all find out! It’s crazy how excited I am given that I feel very confident that I won’t get in, ha! I just really want this whole process to be over… so that if I’m in I can be done with apps and so that if I a rejected I can just move on and start getting myself excited/focused on other schools.</p>
<p>gahhhh so close yet so far! is it bad that my teacher mentioned in her rec that i did cross country but didnt bother to put it on my commonapp activities list?</p>
<p>You probably should have included it… but I don’t think it’s a bad thing… it just shows that you do EVEN MORE than you listed on your app. :)</p>
<p>okayz thanks underdog. im just looking back and saying…“whoops shoulda done this…” haha. oh well. is that “update info” button in the applicant portal just for like address changes, etc? I’m not gonna tell them about xc but I was just wondering.</p>
<p>I think so…</p>
<p>i’ve had so many “should’ve done this” moments in the last two weeks XD</p>
<p>haha I haven’t even looked at my application. I feel like I read it/looked it over a thousand+ times before I submitted it. I never want to read any of those essays again, lol. I am just so sick of it all, ha. I’ve been counting down the days and all, but I haven’t been actually thinking about my app or thinking I should of done this or that or whatever. I feel like the things that could’ve made a big difference wouldn’t be in presentation of my app so much, but more so in the actual four years of work/grades/standardized tests/ECs etc. etc. </p>
<p>I’m sure we have all done all that we can and the best thing we can do is try not to worry and to make some progress on our other applications just in case we don’t get in (which is what will most likely happen to me ha :()</p>
<p>hah, omg, you NEED to stop saying that!!! please… you are a legacyy haha (funny how i know that? wow… i think i spend way to much time on here)</p>
<p>haha… I’M not gonna get in…</p>
<p>…i am such a hypocrite…</p>
<p>^ only 40% of legacies are admitted… but yeah, underdog needs to start thinking more positive thoughts!</p>
<p>haha, I disagree. I think I’m just being realistic. My stats are kind of low for Penn (and I’m sure low for CC ha) and yeah I’m a legacy, but, as stated, a lot of legacies DON’T get in. I think ED it’s something like 30% admit, 30% defer, 40% deny. I’d far prefer to go into this process with low expectations and not get in (or hopefully be happily shocked and get in! :)) than to go into this process thinking I have a good chance and then be rejected.</p>
<p>Just a question:
How many schools are you planning to apply to if for some reason you are deferred or rejected? Do you have a lot of supplements to write?</p>
<p>^ 30% is for everyone ED and 40% is for legacies ED… 10% boost but still the vast majority do not get admitted. </p>
<p>This is my list of schools I am applying to if I receive bad news Dec 11:
- McGill
- Rutgers
- Cornell
- Brown
- Amherst
- Maryland
(no particular order)</p>
<p>I have a couple of supplements too. A lot of them ask me why i want to come to that school.</p>
<p>“ehh, cuz i can’t get into upenn?”</p>
<p>nicee. My schools if I don’t get in (BUT I REALLY WANT TO GET IN) are in no particular order:</p>
<ol>
<li>cornell</li>
<li>brown</li>
<li>dartmouth</li>

<li>Waterloo</li>
