<p>Dang it guys, I can't stop thinking about Penn. -___-" I was able to limit my CCing before but now I'm looking through old decision threads and eh.. it seems that my chances aren't too good (banking on my essays).</p>
<p>anyone else feeling like this? Never in my school has anyone got into Penn or any prestigious school(except for cornell long ago). But this year, our class of 2012 is overturning all other previous class with one full ride to CalTech and another likely letter to Yale. GAH! the pressure!</p>
<p>a month ago, i was okay with the idea of getting rejected -at least I can say I tried my hardest and won't have any regrets.. but eh.. maybe because its march but I can say that right now I'd be upset.. haha</p>
<p>so what are you going to do on decision day if you are rejected? if you are accepted?</p>
<p>Anyone going to record themselves? I'm thinking about doing that as it would be really funny to rewatch if I get accepted or rejected. haha</p>
<p>haha it would be funny to watch a collection of videos of people getting their letters. </p>
<p>I applied to Penn knowing that there is almost no chance of me getting in. I do not have to most competitive stats, and did not start off high school getting all A’s. </p>
<p>Nevertheless, I am crossing my fingers that they saw something unique in me… lol</p>
<p>EONS AWAYYY. I totally agree. Why can’t the next 17 days just zoom by? </p>
<p>Hahaha I was just discussing my reaction on march 29th with my friend today:
My eyeballs are going to spout some water if I get rejected. They will also spout some water if I get accepted. Either way, my eyes are going to be emitting h2o.</p>
<p>I’m with you guys on this one. Thinking back to when I applied in November it feels like forever ago and I still don’t know if I’m in or not. I already know what I’m doing when I hear back. Acceptance = two days off school to celebrate. Rejection = two days off school to mourn. Either way I’m taking two days off of school to compose myself mentally after what is sure to be a stressful weekend. I’m waiting to here back from Penn, Cornell, and I believe Lehigh that weekend. Bucknell is the week before so I’ll hopefully be accepted there. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone else who applied :)</p>
<p>Is Penn y’all’s first choice? what other schools are you waiting for?</p>
<p>I also applied to Harvard ← this is one school that I do not mind getting rejected at. No chance! and Johns Hopkins. But Penn is my first choice!!</p>
<p>Do your high schools have a lot of people accepted to ivies/prestigious schools?</p>
<p>Penn and Cornell are sort of tied for my first stop. Penn might edge out Cornell solely because it is closer to home and I have some friends who go there so I would know someone. I applied to Penn, Cornell, Bucknell, Lehigh, Franklin and Marshall, and Juniata. My school usually sends 1-3 students to prestigious schools a year almost one of which is always an ivy.</p>
<p>I’m so nervous! I keep trying to put it out of my mind but how can I?! I’ve been waiting almost 6 months for this because I sent my app in really early and I just hope it was worth waiting so long for this decision. I just really want to get it!!! I’ve wanted to go to Penn since I was 8 years old – because my dad went there so I’ve always been familiar with it and always loved the school…Good luck to all of you guys who also applied! </p>
<p>I’m not sure how I’m gonna react either way right now. I’m sort of anticipating a breakdown if I get rejected. But I’m hoping I won’t be too upset. I’m anxious to find out because I really can’t decide how I’m going to react. And if I get in, I’m gonna be the happiest person alive:)</p>
<p>Penn’s definitely near the top of my list, but I already got into Wash U so I feel okay… but 3/29 is gonna be an amazing/horrible day. So many decisions are coming out, and I think most Ivies come out at 5pm EST. Personally, I think that’s sick… Can you imagine the moment when you know decisions are out and you’ve got decide which school you’d pick to check first?</p>
<p>After seeing this thread I am so… aslfkjas;ldkfjasd;fjasd; right now ): Usually I’d be ok if I don’t think about it but arghhh I want them to come out so bad TT UPenn is at the top of my list, although I already got a UCLA engineering likely letter… also applied to Cornell, Harvard, MIT, Chicago, Northwestern and Princeton ><</p>
<p>Hahaha I think on the 29th I will open them all at the same time and just check all 4 tabs together consecutively :P</p>
<p>@neorobie, I’m getting increasingly antsy as well, and it seems like none of my friends are! Luckily, I’ve got CC. ;)</p>
<p>I totally know what you mean about being nonchalant and paranoid at the same time, ahhh. I think I might record myself - that’s actually a pretty cool idea; it didn’t occur to me at all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think it’s 5 pm EST for all the Ivies, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>alright, that’s what I expected. I need to get off CC tbh. I’m becoming a nervous wreck over this whole ordeal. I think I’ve scoured every decisions post for the past 4 years for every school I’ve applied to more than 3 times. -____-</p>
<p>I think we all have a love-hate relationship with CC… it’s the only way I manage to get through the college craziness, but at the same time it makes me crazier.</p>
<p>But then again, if it weren’t for CC, I’d be floundering over dates and whatnot and freaking out in my own head… I guess it’s better to freak out online with a bunch of other crazy people:P</p>
<p>16?! That makes it sounds super close…and yet, super far away. I swear, I’m getting more paranoid the closer we get, and CC is my not-so-helpful therapy. :)</p>
<p>Lol my school is really small and so far…
2 have been accepted to stanford
1 to penn! !
2 to princeton
1 to harvard
1 to cornell
3 to columbia
1 to uchicago
2 to amherst…</p>
<p>And various other really really good schools… theres only around 80 of us. Last year 5 people went to penn and about 7-8 were accepted. They also had about 80 students…</p>
<p>Im so nervous!! ):
Sent from my SGH-T959 using CC App</p>
<p>^ lol
16 = 2 weeks and 2 days (look, i can do math!)
but thats really dang close.
worst part is that decisions will come out during my spring break, so i’ll spend all that time wallowing in my own panic attacks.
idk if it’s good or bad, but i’ll be visiting berkeley on the 29th, so maybe i’ll be distracted…</p>
<p>Wow! What school do you go to?! My school’s really big (2000 total, 500 per grade) and even though we get a good number of students going to good schools each year, I don’t think we have that many, especially in the early round.</p>
