<p>One of my teachers told me to imagine I'm rejected.</p>
<p>What advice did you receive?</p>
<p>I’m going to keep myself busy with other apps. </p>
<p>I’ve also tried to imagine that I’m rejected, but my thoughts drift off to “what if I’m accepted” thoughts, and those are much nicer.</p>
<p>Be hopeful, but be realistic. Most don’t get in, so work on Plan B.</p>
<p>Don’t think about it.</p>
<p>Easier said than done, I’m aware. :)</p>
<p>I’ll just think about Caltech first since the release date is earlier than MIT’s :)</p>
<p>Yeah, try to keep yourself busy. =] I’ve got a list of things to look forward to, at least one for each day up to and including the 16th. Thus, I can focus on things that are happening sooner and be happy with them, instead of just being like OMG 16TH WHERE ARE YOU. It’s quasi-working!</p>
<p>December is hell month for me with schoolwork. So I’ve got enough to keep my mind on.</p>
<p>Caltech EA results are coming back Saturday. That is how I’m easing the wait :)</p>
