<p>1) finishing all of my school work early so i can at leat get that stress out of the way. trying to learn everything that will be on my finals because if i get accepted or rejected i will not want to study (december 15th is monday of finals week at my school). i started reading twilight, which i refused to do forever. also rereading harry potter. and finally, cc and checking the vandy admissions blog hoping to find out about the current ED application pool which they have yet to comment on.
2) I think something like the person above me. </p>
<p>-just a sidenote, for everyone being pessimistic (which I am also at times). won't you be upset if you get rejected no matter if you were expecting it or not? I think it's better to try to be optimistic now because at least you'll be happier for these next 15 days, right? : )</p>
<ol>
<li>THIS</li>
<li>Taking a long walk off a short bridge...</li>
</ol>
<p>^Yes, I'm kidding ;-p</p>
<p>I expect not to get in, so it won't be a surprise. I'll just continue with the rest of my applications and hope for the best. I was never in that school so in the end I technically didn't "lose" anything...oh, except for the $104.50 it took me to send everything in -_-'</p>
<p>I'll definately be upset lol, but I don't know... I think I'm naturally pessimistic, I guess I'm kinda preparing myself. Ugh... I wish I were an optimist sometimes!</p>
<ol>
<li><p>nothing at all....right now i have the biggest headache and stomach pain..soo nervous</p></li>
<li><p>being as pessimistic as possible...setting my standards as low as possible</p></li>
</ol>
<p>can some people tell me that i wont get in?
that would be nice
lol</p>
<p>this is such a depressing yet kind of amusing thread. i guess i'm a masochist (jk)</p>
<ol>
<li>Sadly hw. Involving myself in my ECs and making friends with ppl from other schools. =]</li>
<li>Haven't thought it of yet. Prolly be pretty upset (and i find out the day right before finals start....) and start going onto those RD apps. =[</li>
</ol>
<p>honestly, I am going to be pretty shocked if I don't get in.</p>
<p>I mean, I'm a legacy, ed at hopkins.</p>
<p>Hopkins has a 48 percent early decision rate, </p>
<p>My app is solid and well-rounded,</p>
<p>and both early decision and legacy status help a whole lot.</p>
<p>I mean, if I weren't a legacy, then I couldn't really expect to get in.</p>
<p>But I mean, if you are a solidly above average applicant with good grades, ec's, sat 2's, with a sat of 2180+, who is applying early decision AND a legacy, you should get in.</p>
<p>If I get rejected, it won't be that big a deal cuz I'll just go to Tulane, Uchicago, Kenyon, Cornell and have a good time.</p>
<p>but I would still be pretty shocked if I was rejected, it would prove that being a legacy is not that big a deal lol</p>
<p>I'm prepping for deferral, so I'll sigh and be done with that. I already submitted to my second choice, which I'm in love with, so hopefully everything works out...</p>
<p>If I get flat-out rejected I'm going to hastily edit half the reaches off my list, because my confidence will be shot.</p>
<p>I have no game plan for if I get in.</p>
<p>And to bide time, I'm working on my RD apps, going out with my friends, and running :) It's working, I guess. Plus I have an ill concert on Tuesday and a debate tournament all weekend, so I guess it'll pass.</p>
<p>1) I'm chilling out, sort of. Lots of homework. Friends. Nothing extraordinary.
2) Plan B? What Plan B? Crap... I think I'll just cry while I finish my other apps.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Doing a crapload of homework I got for Thanksgiving break + coming here more than in months prior to this.</p></li>
<li><p>I will curse myself out and apply to my other reach and a couple of safeties.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>1) I spend a lot of time watching movies, reading books, and hanging out with friends. It doesn't stop me from checking the mail every ten minutes on the weekends or thinking about the letter sitting in the mailbox while I'm at school.. lol.</p>
<p>2) If I get rejected, I think I'm going to go out and do something crazy. And eat tons of junk food. But if I get in, I'll probably do the same thing..</p>
<p>1) Refreshing my school's website every 10 seconds... lol... actually, nothing special; just homework, video games and hanging out with friends.</p>
<p>2) I'm telling myself that I'll probably get rejected so when rejection comes, well it won't be much of a surprise.</p>
<ol>
<li>Pokemon, Pokemon, Pokemon. I forgot what an addictive little game it is, especially when you have a slackerish senior year--besides, I may as well twiddle my thumbs productively while I wait. </li>
<li>Probably watch Lord of the Rings in bed all night, but honestly, I am a facbrat applying to a school I'd feel good about applying to anyways, so I'm not totally worried-- not saying I'm positive I'll get in, but I feel good about my chances.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>Spending time with friends, working out at the gym, hobbies (cycling...), and law internship. it keeps me busy, but my eye is definitely still on the prize.</p></li>
<li><p>my college of choice, Columbia University, is nonbinding ED, so I applied to other EAs. I have hope for my other schools too, Columbia isnt the end all be all. We all know that if we dont make it into our ED schools, theres always another college happy to take us that we can be successful at. No worries.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>But, regardless of the outcome on the 15th (Im hearing back from Columbia, Fordham, Babson, Elon and University of Oregon), I'm planning on going to Six Flags amusement park with a couple friends. Always a good time...</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Stalking CC and the college website, watching reruns of House, and art.</p></li>
<li><p>Call my friends and then watch some movies while eating icecream...lots and lots of icecream. D;</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I've decided that I'm going to be rejected. I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I don't stop analyzing my essays for anything I could have done differently...</p>
<p>1.) Editing my essays for RD and realizing that my earlier drafts were pretty crappy <em>sigh</em>. I'm also stalking CC (reading CC is like "working on my application" right? Right?).</p>
<p>2.) I think I'll totally understand if I get a deferment/rejection considering the high quality and number of applicants. My early is also a total reach for me =/. The only thing I'd be ****ed about is having to pay for the application fees for my RD schools. Hehe, I'm a total Scrooge I guess.</p>
<p>Things feel pretty normal actually. I'm not doing anything I wouldn't normally do.</p>
<p>If I get rejected, eh, no big deal. I applied to an EA school that I really like as well as an ED school so I'll still have hope. Hopefully I get in :P</p>
<ol>
<li><p>im finishing the rest of my applications</p></li>
<li><p>i applied ed to penn and i am very borderline so im hoping if i expect rejection it won't feel so bad</p></li>
