<li>watching a whole lot of red box movies. :D oh, and contemplating if I'd rather have my physics labs on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. :/</li>
<li> well i guess it will be just me my pint 'o Ben and Jerry's and a housing form for the University of Minnesota.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>I really haven't been thinking about it very much. I have been doing lots of Mountain Unicycling just been outside a lot lately.</p></li>
<li><p>I have prepared myself for rejection.....when a school accept less than 1 in 5 people I don't think anything can be expected and at this point it comes down to what the college is looking for. (Not how strong of an applicant I am)
So ya....Tulane offering me lots of money was nice...I know someone wants me. So at least one back up is in order.
im keeping my fingers crossed though...i really want to get accepted</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>uggggggggh i'm graduating early so my year is full of junior classes. like ap us history and eng 3 AP. seriously, i cant afford to slack off THAT much. but i do anyway. like someone else said, i've been stalking the duke website haha hoping they accidently post decisions up early... but yeah i've been slacking a lot lately and im waiting for these next two weeks to pass by. i find myself just going random places now like going to petco after school, or the public library or something</p></li>
<li><p>idk my interviewer told me the stats for duke double when you do ED. its 20% normally and its 38% for ED, so i think theres a good chance. but im staying neutral. Over this thanksgiving break i did two other apps, and once i find out about duke, i can stop, or i'll have one more app to do. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>i seriously hope all of us get into our ED schools, cause seriously if we didnt want to go to that school we all wouldnt have done ED</p>
<p>oh also i constantly ***** to my parents about it, so that helps me...not them</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I'm pretty much just waiting and doing school and stuff. It doesn't seem to different from normal. </p></li>
<li><p>I've still got a lot of other really good schools on my list that I'd like to go to, so there's always those.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>reading CC and the school's website so I'm more nervous about it</li>
<li>go to Chipotle to eat away the pain</li>
</ol>
<p>lol, Plass. Same thing! I keep obsessively reading the stats of people who were accepted/rejected last year, posting chance threads, reading the school's website...in short, becoming more obsessed! I'm not doing a very good job distracting myself.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Re-reading books and looking at the school's website... a lot.</p></li>
<li><p>Cry! I haven't considered not getting in...I don't want to think about it.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>I've been kept busy by IB. I have 3 Internal Assessments due Dec. 15 (the horror), and somehow I've procrastinated into having nothing done except for getting the library mad at me for hogging my overdue books. Just thinking about my studies makes time go by unnecessarily fast.</p></li>
<li><p>I have zero expectations for EA, so even if I'm lying to myself about how much I don't care, it shouldn't be too painful. But since I'm a Canadian student, I take solace in that I can pretty much get into whichever Canadian university I want.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>1) get busy w/normal school work and try to write those RD essays........
2) i will CRY (either way i will cry)...but then i'll tell myself to suck it up and say, "such is life!!" then i'll take one day off and really get busy w/the RD essays. as of now, i'm tryin to be neutral about the decision. i don't wanna be too negative OR positive. i wanna get in so bad!!</p>
<p>bowdoin college ED applicant</p>
<ol>
<li><p>getting overly stressed and caught up in school work and holiday shopping distracts me :)</p></li>
<li><p>hahaha, my friend and i were talking one day in math...and she was like "oh, don't worry if you get deferred. you'll be sad for awhile, but then it'll be christmas...PRESENTS!" :)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Wow this is a horribly depressing thread.</p>
<p>I know for sure i won't be too devastated if i get rejected. I'm just praying for a deferral... It is Yale after all.</p>
<p>1) Getting on CC all the time and keeping myself extremely busy... Soccer season's about to start, so that should help too.</p>
<p>2) My friend said she'd take me out for dinner either way lol, and now with the competition, I'm pretty sure I'll be rejected. So it should be a nice surprise if not... I'll probably just focus on getting in my RD apps and evaluate scholarships.</p>
<p>1) Throwing myself into schoolwork and my other applications. I really like my other schools so I'm not too scared of rejection. But I absolutely love my first choice and I'm going to be super disappointed if I don't get in.
2) Be sad for a day and then move on with my life. Go to Knotts over break. Get my other applications in. Try to relax. lol :)</p>
<p>Is anyone actually expecting to be accepted? Seems like everyone's saying, "I'm just hoping to be deferred but am preparing for rejection..."</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Getting back into video games like Final Fantasy X and Elite Beat Agents. Now that senior year is pretty slacker-ish, I need to distract myself somehow. As a side note, my vision is getting worse...</p></li>
<li><p>This will sound really cheesy, but I'll just be relieved that I tried, that I did my best with the entire application. Of course I'll be sad that I didn't get in, but I wrote an essay that was purely me and I tailored the whole application to my strengths for my intended major (French), so if they reject me I know I wouldn't be happy at Middlebury anyway. But I hope this is not the case...</p></li>
</ol>
<p>And lol, my best friend is going to take me out for ice cream the day I decide, no matter what the outcome is. She's the best :)</p>
<p>I've been told by some I have a solid shot, but I'm a pretty big pessimist... </p>
<p>I guess alot of EDers are preparing for the worst case scenario (I am) to avoid being caught off guard?...</p>
<p>My worry, along with some of my friends is the selectivity of the applicant pool. I just don't expect to make the cut.</p>
<p>"Is anyone actually expecting to be accepted? Seems like everyone's saying, "I'm just hoping to be deferred but am preparing for rejection...""</p>
<p>Sometimes it's best not to be overconfident about these things. If you take on the attitude of "I'm definitely getting into HYP, I'm going to be ****ed if they don't accept me!" then when you fail, people have more reason to laugh at you. </p>
<p>College admissions these days are never guaranteed and even though there are so many chance threads on these boards, we all have little idea for what colleges are looking for holistically. Adcoms want well-rounded classes of incoming freshman, so there's no way to predict whether we're getting in unless we saw we measured up to everyone else applying and how we could possibly fit in to their overall picture. And even then, we still wouldn't know...</p>
<p>I posted already, but also to pass the time I've been watching christmas movies non-stop haha.</p>
<p>It's a Wonderful Life ftw!</p>
<p>Take a walk on the golden gate bridge. </p>
<p>Lol.</p>
