<p>^When you get home. No point in possibly ruining a dinner… Sorry, but rejection is a possibility for even the most qualified applicants.</p>
<p>KAJvet24vball: I would actually recommend checking before the dinner. I remember, waiting for ED results, that I was nervous the ENTIRE school day. Couldn’t focus in any of my classes, incredibly nervous, “spacing out” a lot, etc. Regardless of the result, I’m sure you’d want to be focused and not anxious during the honors dinner. To me, anxiety is no fun.</p>
<p>if only i could take a long nap and wake up in a week. GL everyone!</p>
<p>Got the reminder email (to check on the 29th) from Penn and nearly had a heart attack. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Same same, Savant.
I can’t even express how much of a relief it is to talk to people who understand how I feel. So refreshing.</p>
<p>I know you all will be of great comfort, too, when I get rejected. <3</p>
<p>Thanks for replying Rush10 and hardworking21!</p>
<p>@hardworking21 I hadn’t even thought of that…I don’t want to be so anxious that I can’t enjoy the dinner. I am always very anxious about stuff so I know I won’t be myself that entire day at school but I’m not going to stay home because that would just make matters worse. I think it’s a good idea for me to keep busy. Congrats on getting into Penn! I hope I get in too!! I’ll let all of you know as soon as I can. Good luck to all of you! I love how this thread is such a good support system<3</p>
<p>KAJvet24vball: i would check it before dinner too. If you get rejected(heavens forbid), your nice, tasty dinner would cheer you up. if you get in, its like a celebration. But if you don’t check it, you won’t enjoy the dinner. You’ll just worry about if and if and if…</p>
<p>LOL me too Savant!</p>
<p>and guys I’m so glad this thread took off nicely. I was expecting some “get off CC and do something more productive” but now its like a support system, as you wonderfully said KAJvet24vball. =D</p>
<p>Lol, the Nervouswreck Support Hotthread for College Applicants
The NSHCA</p>
<p>Good luck to all</p>
<p>I feel like every time I close my eyes I get trailed off to imagining me getting in and my heart sinks like 20 feet and then I come back to reality…It’s gonna be a rough 5 days :/</p>
<p>the next 5 days can’t go by fast enough. thinking about not going to school until Friday. actually, maybe not friday either depending on the decision hahaha</p>
<p>I just got my first 2 non-acceptance letters today. I hope it’s not some kind of a bad omen to prepare me for what’s going to come on the 29th…I haven;t been denied from anywhere yet which is good (and I’d like to keep it that way) but I have been accepted to 5 schools and wait listed at 2. And the eighth school I applied to is Penn so I’m now very anxious for Thursday. I’m sort of jealous of anyone who’s on spring break this week because I have to go to school. Part of me wants to go to school and keep busy and distract myself from anxiety about Penn but another part of me just wants to have the week off to rest up for the big decision day…oh well, I’ll just have to endure 4 hard days at school and maybe I’ll take off on Friday, depending on Penn’s decision - no pressure, Penn. haha</p>
<p>And guys, promise to live up to our full support system potential AFTER the admissions decisions are made?! because either way, I’m sure going to need some support from CC.</p>
<p>^Don’t worry, the NSHCA is sponsored by the Association of Neurotic Type-A’s. No way it’s going to go away just because the decisions are “finished”</p>
<p>Thank god for the Penn support group!</p>
<p>Agreeed, KAJ. I need you guys to be there for me on the 29th. It’ll be a looong night of tears and fattening foods. :(</p>
<p>Uppity… LOLOL that’s so true. I’m notorious for my Type-A-ness.</p>
<p>Oh, and I agree, check before you go! That way, the dinner can be a consolation and a reminder that you’re still wanted by another school. Anxiety is a dreadful feeling - that tiny sliver of “it still could happen” amidst the feeling of knowing that it won’t.</p>
<p>@BigGreen2016</p>
<p>Same here with hi-sugar, hi-fat, hi-everything that may induce a heart-attack foods that I’ll be eating.</p>
<p>Is it true that they’d reject you if you write “UPenn” in your essay instead of “Penn”? because I wrote UPenn all the way T_____________T</p>
<p>Now I’m just hoping not many people applied to the viper energy program.</p>
<p>probably not? i mean their website is upenn.edu
that would just be cruel, seeing as they’re a bit ambiguous with the shortened name.</p>
<p>I can’t wait. I have been waiting for so long and the date is finally here!!</p>
<p>I AM SO NERVOUS/EXCITED/a bajillion feelings mixed together…</p>
<p>can it be thursday already?</p>
