<p>hmm that could be a good thing :DDDDd</p>
<p>Well, I'm a bit nervous... wasn't really that excited until I read all these boards - anxiety is contagious! lol. But even if I don't get into Brown, I already got into SI Newhouse with a great scholarship...</p>
<p>I've been accepted to 6 schools so far so I'll definitely have a place to go even if I'm rejected from all 4 Ivies, and I've been telling myself that really, all the places I've applied to are awesome and I'll have a great time anywhere, but I think I'll still probably cry come 5:01 Thursday. And it sucks that I have a review session to attend at 6:30 for AP U.S. Govt, where all the smart people in my class will be talking about their acceptances :( G'luck to everyone though!!</p>
<p>OH GOD i hate apg :*( sorry lol i thought i'd through that in haha. (do you find it hard to do well in? sry a side note!)</p>
<p>cinnamon862: Don't lose hope...acceptance to college really IS a crap shoot. There's little rhyme or reason to it, which is proven by your acceptance to GWU, an amazing school in a great place to go to college! If you do end up there, I'm sure you will thrive and make the most out of it...I do know how difficult it is to have a positive attitude at this point, but give it time and it will all work out. Wherever we all end up, we are still us, and will still get the most out of our college experiences because we are driven to do so!</p>
<p>Right now, I'm feeling a bit tired, somewhat hungry, overall bored. I've resigned myself to indifference because when Early decisions were coming out in November (for the big H), I literally worried myself sick and worked my way through school with an over 100 degree fever. For the next two days, I'm not gonna sit around my computer and wait for decisions. I intend to play outside and usurp my friend's Wii as much as I can.</p>
<p>I don't know if this has something to do with my decision, but I'm up at 3:30AM right now with a horrible stomach ache. And I feel a little dizzy.</p>
<p>Looks like no school for me today! (hopefully my parents don't think I'm faking :P)</p>
<p>I'm not that nervous, because this is probably superstition, but when I reallly want to go somewhere, I don't get in, and then stuff happens unexpectedly. Reverse psychology. :)</p>
<p>I'll pop in from the other Ivy thread, and the International Forum (The Indian Thread) to wish all of you the Best of Luck!</p>
<p>i cant help thinking of what will i do when i get the offer..
but that's not the fact...i just cant help...
i really really want to get in brown...
Good luck everybody!! We will get there!</p>
<p>I think Johns Hopkins decisions may be coming out today....I'm excited for that!</p>
<p>i think something like 28 more hours left!
omg so nervous

<p>welcome to the club. AHHHH.</p>
<p>i can hardly believe i've waited 18 years for this day. i can't believe the next 2-ish days determines my entire future. AHHH. the nerve. good luck everyone . let's support each other to the fullest extent. :)</p>
<p><em>group hug!</em> we're all going to be great, in or not. The best is not necessarily the best option (although it def. doesn't hurt in brown's case :P)</p>
<p>I'm starting to lose it. I can't wait for tomorrow but I don't really want it to come.
and Johns Hopkins comes out in 1 hour and 44 minutes.</p>
<p>EIGHTEEN YEARS? I didn't know about brown til my junior year... you're embellishing just a tad, right ;)</p>
<p>FUTURE? nah [=</p>
<p>No. Not at allll :P You'll likely end up wherever you want regardless of what college you go to for undergrad.</p>
<p>Hopkins comes out..yup yup... and then there's always my Duke financial aid to look forward to!</p>
<p>haha i didn't know brown existed until the beg. of my soph. year (imagine that/) and immediately fell in love wiht a school that i might have to break up with sooon</p>
<p>I remember wanting to go to Brown more than everything when I was 5... It was where I wanted to be. I stopped thinking about it, as I thought I stood no chance as an international. And then I tried. Just applying seemed like a dream come true. Everything felt so very right. But apart from that, I'm trying to keep a distance. I do not expect to get accepted, but I do know that what will await me will be good, because I tend to make the best out of situations. I guess I just have that faith in the world - and myself. I do want to go to Brown. If I don't get in, one world will kind of end. But a new one will also begin.
Did not mean to sound so dramatic. But I don't know... it's really how if feel about it. And you wanted to know how I felt! ;) Good luck to all!</p>
<p>I agree with Fengshuibundi. This is only one of the determining milestones of your lives. Not 'the only milestone'.</p>
<p>I really hope that all of you awesome kids on this CC, bear in mind that YOU are greater and higher than anything that happens to you.</p>
<p>Agreed, it's normal to want to cry, feel crushed, and downtrodden for a while if you get rejection letters.........but do try to put it all in perspective. In the entire scheme of life, if you plan to do an MD or MD/PhD or MBAs or JD, eventually the graduate school is far more noticed and weighed in decision making by the employers than the undergraduate school.</p>
<p>If you get accepted, great! If you don't, don't give up hope. You can still apply to your dream school for a Graduate degree! Think positive, always. </p>
<p>FDR is quoted for saying that in life the plans may change but the process of planning remains constant. </p>
<p>Those of you, who are currently feeling sick from nervousness, are unable to concentrate, unable to eat, drink, or sleep, and are experiencing enhanced gastrointestinal prokinetic activity - try to engage in activities that will take your mind off. Exercise, go for a walk with your pet, watch an old movie or catch a BB game on TV or Am Idol tonight. Try to disengage your mind from RD.</p>
<p>One last piece of advice - In life, it's 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it. </p>
<p>Best to all of you,
2011Mom</p>
