<p>I totally agree with Shuffle, damn snail mail. Although, I kind of like the idea of having the satisfaction of ripping open an actual letter....though if I get rejected I'll probably like it a lot less.</p>
<p>original peace.
That's really creepy; I've been doing the same things! I'm also going to Disney for winter break...it would be hilarious if we ran into each other.
Where are you applying to?</p>
<p>Applied Ed to Rice University...........</p>
<p>Expecting Rejection/defered.....Started working on my other apps but not too much(can't stop worrying to start working on them, and I am lazy lol).....Applying to 12 different schools.........Usally on College Confidential........2 more weeks to go......Really freaking out............</p>
<p>1) Napping more than the usual amount and going on CC to see that other Brown ED applicants are sharing my agony. Fortunately, they all seem nice so it looks like I will be in good company if I get in. </p>
<p>I am refusing to finish my supplements. I access the Brown website everyday although decisions will not be posted until Dec 11.</p>
<p>2) I honestly think I will cry. I will fight back tears as I finish my RD applications lol</p>
<p>@sexycani... we brown EDers really do get along alright. makes me want to get in even more, to have classmates like us.</p>
<p>1) gettin big
2) ive basically decided ill have plenty of other EA/RD schools that i will have hopefully gotten into by then... most of which ill actually have BETTER financial situations at so yeah. so i guess its not the end of the world if i dont get in. but most of yall seem to think otherwise.... lol</p>
<p>1) What are you doing to distract yourself during the wait?
School, work, and long chats with friends</p>
<p>2) What is your if-I-get-rejected plan? (Like, how to cheer yourself up)
I don't want to think about that! We'll see when/if (hopefully not!!) it happens. </p>
<p>I can't stress enough for everyone though...that no matter what happens admissions-wise for your no. 1 dream school: YOU ARE AMAZING.
:)</p>
<p>My son just completed his list of 12 other schools, ordered transcript,gave out recs. Just cant seem to get himself to work on any-he is really holding out on Vassar ED. 2 more weeks though, Mom is eating tons of ben and jerrys.</p>
<p>It is business as usual for my son. If he is stressed out, he's not sharing that info. Course he is kind of laid back to begin with!</p>
<p>wow.. ppl have so much free time.. lol</p>
<p>It's hard, there's no distraction.
I'm studying for the SATs to take them again in December, and here I am on College Confidential while I study to think about my upcoming rejection. As a few have said, my ED school is a huge reach for me as well. We'll find out soon enough. Until then I am just studying for the SATs, and then hanging out then after.</p>
<p>1) I have been reading a lot and playing Mario Kart on my Wii.</p>
<p>2) I've been working on Early Decision II applications so that if I don't get in ED 1 I'll be ready to just send my EDII stuff right in.</p>
<p>I just realized that the week of the 15th is tech week for me, so whatever happens, I'll be busy and distracted.</p>
<p>1) Juggling 6 APs plus activities, working out, seeing some new movies, playing poker, playing some new games (wow it's been too long), going stir crazy, visiting CC WAY too often. I think I'll try and dig up some good books as others have apparently been doing. In fact, if anyone has any recommendations, please share (although if you so much as mention Twilight I'll have to virtual slap you ;P). </p>
<p>2) Shrug, curse my inadequacy for some time, explore my feelings on the matter, seriously RUSH some RD apps, reconcile myself with Penn's decision, and move on.</p>
<p>I've been told by so many that I have a good chance of admission, but there's really no way to know I guess. I'm not expecting a denial though, so it's going to hit me like a freight train (no, not literally) if it does happen :(. Let me be the first (?) to elaborate on what I'll do if I do get in:</p>
<p>Dash outside and scream like a crazy person while listening to the most inspirational Coldplay/U2 songs that I can find; I'm creating a playlist on my iPod for just this purpose. I'll probably run around for a little while and then take the opportunity to appreciate my front lawn (as I have neglected to do ever since I moved into my new house) by nosediving for the grass. :) After that, probably just stare at the acceptance letter to make sure it's not some kind of perverse fantasy and then feel more alive than ever before. Okay, after writing all that, I can see why we're not elaborating on our celebratory plans...</p>
<p>what's ed? erectile disfunction?</p>
<p>1) I'm actually performing in a concert this weekend, so I'm missing school on Thursday, Friday, and Monday. That should be a nice break. Then I'll have a lot of work to make up, so that should distract me =P And probably compulsively check my email for something from Dartmouth</p>
<p>2) Absolutely going out to eat with my other ED friends. Just eat my sorrows away. Haven't decided where yet though. I remember going out to eat last year with my two best friends after they were deferred... It'll be sad. THEN START THE OTHER APPS! WOOT!</p>
<p>Is anybody else noticing, the closer the deadline is, the more sure you are that you are going to be rejected...</p>
<p>The seeds of doubt are beginning to blossom into glorious redwoods of fear and failure.</p>
<p>I have COMPLETELY noticed that! Except with this one girl applying ED to the same school from my high school, who is very bipolar about it and will one minute assert that she's probably getting in, then becomes all flippant and changes her mind, saying she's definitely getting at least deferred.</p>
<p>Everyone else I've noticed seems to have decided that they are going to get deferred hopefully, and quite possibly rejected - and no hope for acceptance.</p>
<p>Ah!
I agree.
One second I'm like, okay there's a pretty good chance I'm going to get in and then the next (especially lately) I've been imagining what I'll do if I don't get in. I've been playing the whole "what if I get a rejection letter...what will I DO?" scene over and over >.>;;
Right now, I feel like I'm not getting in D:</p>
<p>I applied ED to Brown:
1) Well, I just found out they were posting the decisions earlier than I thought they would-- next Thursday, the day of my last final. I'm freaking out, but trying to just forget about it.
2) If I don't get in (VERY low chance of getting in), it will probably make me somewhat upset during Christmas break, but I'll get over it. I got accepted to my second choice, the Georgia Institute of Technology, in early November, so that's where I'll be headed in Fall 2009.</p>
