<p>this day next week I hope i can keep my sanity before that Thursday… XD</p>
<p>I think it makes me more nervous because if I don’t get into my first choice (Penn of course), then I literally don’t have a second choice! All other 7 schools I applied to are pretty much equal in my opinion so I have no clue how to choose between them if I don’t get into Penn. Anyone else in the same boat as me? </p>
<p>Penn is my reach school so I didn’t apply to a long list of ivies…just Penn and 7 other smaller schools known for my major</p>
<p>The rest for me are all state schools. so then the choice is down to scholarship and program.</p>
<p>now i kinda wished my mental state was how it was a month ago, when i was alright with not being accepted… but now hearing how several people in our rival high school got accepted to ivies. gah just makes me want to get into penn so much more… but of course, penn being ivy wasn’t the main reason why i applied…</p>
<p>I applied to a bunch of top schools, and I’m waiting for decisions from a lot of them. My “safety” (skeptical about calling it that) was Cal, and I was invited to apply for Regents, so I have a top engineering school to fall back on. If I do get Regents, it will honestly be a tough decision between a large public research university and a smaller liberal arts college (not entirely sure what I want, but I’m not worrying about that right now).</p>
<p>My friend is convinced I will get into at least one of my top 3 schools (Harvard, Penn, Duke) and she’s the only one who knows about them but I just feel awkward like she’s just saying that because she doesn’t know what else to say. She’s going to Yale with a full ride, recruited for swimming.</p>
<p>Hpuousmhaylcehr,a5jecjchlsn6jvtktd!!! 8 more days</p>
<p>lol ive been counting the days/hours for a few months - I also promised myself that I wouldn’t eat a Philly Cheese steak until I got in… the last one I had was in philly in october. hahaha 8 days 1 hour!!</p>
<p>^i love your username lol…</p>
<p>what would you guys do if you DON’T get in =O</p>
<p>OMG ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE MOMENT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR…some of us have been waiting for almost 6 months…that’s way too long and it all comes down to the 29h, one week from tomorrow!!! I’m feeling nervous, excited, anxious, and about a hundred other feelings all at the same time and I’m still not sure how I’ll react if I don’t get in. I’d like to say I’d be okay with it but I’s be lying if I said that right now.</p>
<p>oh i’ll get in
we’ll alllll get in</p>
<p>@Uppity that would be amazing. actually so amazing. :’(</p>
<p>EIGHT DAYS.</p>
<p>I’m getting a bit too obsessed lol. I’ve looked through the houses trying to narrow down my choices.</p>
<p>My friend is going to come over lol so i have a shoulder to sob into… jk. I don’t think i’d cry. I’d prolly get really angry. hahahha… if i don’t get in…</p>
<p>I sure hope so Uppity… =O</p>
<p>another week. I can’t actually believe this. </p>
<p>I don’t care about people say about undergrad not mattering to life success and where you end up, but right now, all the f*** I care about is getting my decision on the 29th. I’m so nervous and don’t know how to pass the time…school work cannot be focused on!</p>
<p>@rastogr…
I agree. I get so annoyed when friends say “you’re getting in!” -.-</p>
<p>For the last month, I’ve been stressing. I know there’s nothing I can do, but I can’t help but feel the anxiety. My stomach hurts and I’m so jittery. I can’t concentrate on school and my grades are a wreck.</p>
<p>@biggreen
There is no need to be such nervous wreck! If you even applied to Penn, you’re qualified to a certain extent and will probably get into a great school no matter what! I actually find that keeping myself busy with school work is actually helping my anxiety. (weird right?)</p>
<p>powerfuldog agreed! and rastogr and BigGreen yesterday my teacher overheard me talking about Penn and told me I’d get in. She said, “That’s Penn State, right?” -___- i wonder how many people will be retracting the “you will get in” statements if they knew…</p>
<p>Same BigGreen… lol my grades are taking a slight dip but heck todays the last day before spring break. oh crud! i have 2 tests to study for… -___-" </p>
<p>rmh8940: getting on CC and finding that i’m not the only one freaking out helps… but now i spend more time on CC than hw haha(exaggeration).</p>
<p>I don’t know where all of you rank Penn in your list of schools, but it is absolutely my DREAM SCHOOL. I would rather go to Penn than any other Ivy, so I am just hoping to God that my wish gets granted.</p>
<p>BEST OF LUCK OF ALL PENN APPLICANTS OUT THERE!</p>
<p>ahhh we have one week omg i don’t even want to think how much of a wreck i’ll be 7 days from now…</p>
<p>Ughh I just realized I have to go to school on the 29th…and I have to go to an honors dinner for another college that night at 5:30…what do you guys think? Should I check my Penn decision before the dinner or when I get home?? It’s gonna be a rough week.</p>
