<p>do you think the anxiety would be better or worse if we had an actual date for a countdown? because to me, not having any guidelines besides the vague "mid-december" makes me stress so much more. it could show up in the mail tomorrow or in a week..i have no idea. blah.</p>
<p>AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! yeah sorry. i needed another yell. i have a lot of built up frustration.</p>
<p>At least the surf is godly this week... <em>phew</em></p>
<p>we need to form a circle, hold hands, and all relax...only thats hard to do online...oh well we can pretend</p>
<p>OMG I AM SO SO SO SCARED!!!!!!! have been trying to not go on CC so i dont get completely obsessed but i cant help it im freaking out about the decision!!! i dont want them to take my dreams away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stanford PLEASE take pity on me and accept me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I'm extremely nervous as well. I don't have too much of a back-up plan. I'm dieing to play utlimate in college so it limited me to what institutions I applied to. My backup is U of O because its got a good team but its not really the academic school I'd dream about. I would have loved to go to a UC school but my sister got into UCLA last year and it ended up costing her a lot more than USC because of scholarship stuff. I figure the situation will be the same with me, which woudl make it more expensive than Stanford.</p>
<p>I guess I can always transfer.</p>
<p>Yea im getting anxious, its my first or second choice. I played my early action card with stanford, and im hoping to get in more just to get in and figure out if i really want to go later. Also, I want to be able to get in EA when my friends dont, i know its not a good reason. Im especially angry at myself for gaining hope for getting in during the last couple weeks, cause before I doubted that I had any chance whatsoever, which is probably true. </p>
<p>Also, getting into a school before christmas break would completely change whether i apply to more schools and whether i have to go get more recs and all those hassles.</p>
<p>So, not to sound superficial like the rest of this post, I really really want to hear, and even more really want to get in.</p>
<p>Six days ... six hours ... 24 minutes ... 35 seconds.........</p>
<p>more like.. tomorrow.
i hope.</p>
<p>34 seconds..NO! 33...32....31....30...29..</p>
<p>are you guys all going to check on email? I think I'll wait for the letter!!! i jsut dont want to have to read the deferral/rejection email... id rather just see a skinny envelope and figure it out!</p>
<p>There is no email. We are hoping we are able to call tomorrow.</p>
<p>Are you serious?! oh... umm maybe its just for internationals? or is there no email for them either? because it will prob take a while for ht eletter to reach us... i guess maybe 2 days if fedex tho. but i doubt they fedex it if its a deferral/rejection?</p>
<p>Ohh yeah, they have emails just for internationals. Sorry about that, I assumed you were in US.</p>
<p>i can't call tomorrow!!!!!!!! i'm too scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want to wait to get the letter but i don't want to wait until monday/tuesday/beyond...any chance the mail will come on saturday???? i'm terrified of seeing that evil, plain, white, thin envelope...oh boy oh boy oh boy...why oh why don't they post online????</p>
<p>all right, venting is done (for now). good luck everybody!!!!! i hope those of you who are brave enough to call hear some very favorable news soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)</p>
<p>I've decided I simply cannot bear the wait, so I'm calling in tomorrow. To hell with it. We got this.</p>
