A note to future applicants

<p>I made this account for one purpose only. I've never posted before and never intend to post again... But I got accepted into JHU early decision today! I finally feel like I can breathe. But before this, I was losing my sanity. My friends who haven't gotten their acceptances and are applying regular decision are absolutely going crazy. They send me scores and stats of other people who got rejected and complain 24/7. I'm guilty of this. I used to lurk on CC and I became so upset because I thought there was no possible way JHU would want me. I hadn't found the cure to cancer, I haven't started any companies, and I had no hooks.</p>

<p>It seemed everyone was more qualified. And if they were rejected, what chance did I have?</p>

<p>NOW THAT IT'S ALL OVER. Dude, it was so unhealthy. Stop torturing yourselves looking at results pages! I know it can be helpful sometimes to pass the time while waiting for results but don't take it to heart. Just because someone else got denied doesn't mean you're hopeless. I saw someone else post a similar post to this last year and it calmed me down a lot so I hope this helps. Go out with friends. Do something other than obsess over stats. It'll help a lot more, I promise. Not to say CC isn't helpful- it's nice to see other people's experiences at a school and whatnot but don't obsess over chance pages. People who do the chance pages are NOT the admissions team! :) </p>

<p>Best of luck. I hope to see you guys next year on campus!!</p>

<p>Totally 100% agree with you.
Because I go to school in Vancouver BC, the decision was released at noon.
I was shaking and having a mental breakdown. My feet just collapsed when I realized that decisions were out.
Like jhu2019 said, go out with your friends and divert your mind to something else.
Things will work out in the end.</p>

<p>Couldn’t have said it better myself! :slight_smile: Crazy to think we’ll see each other on campus next year!</p>
