Anxiety about D-Day?

<p>Anyone else feeling more and more nervous about decisions as they come closer? Some days it's alright, some days I feel anxious as heck. How do you deal with it?</p>

<p>I feel ya, good luck</p>

<p>Which D-Day? Final exams or decisions? D:</p>

<p>decisions i believe. and yeah i’m pretty nervous for d day, although i feel like subconsciously i know exactly where i want to go, and now its the waiting that is giving me ulcers. i applied to my dream school (suny geneseo) in early october because i just dislike my school so much (niagara university), and i just called a little over a week ago to see around when i would be receiving a letter, and so i know it’s going to be any day now and i’m so nervous about whether i got in or not! i think i’m giving myself gray hairs with all the anxiety.</p>

<p>you know what hurts even more? is that I don’t know when decisions are coming out since most of the schools I applied to have rolling notification</p>

<p>Oh gosh…I am so nervous and anxious. I thought filling out applications was hard, but actually making a decision is going to be ten times harder. I still have two more schools to hear from and then I have to decide, ahh!</p>

<p>lol hey, that’s not a bad dilemma at all (does that have something to do with your screen name?) :wink: I’m freaking out because I decided to go balls to the wall and pretty much only apply to “reaches” lol, so my nervousness is based on the fear that I won’t get ANY acceptances…if it turns into deciding which school to actually go to, I’ll be maaade XD</p>

<p>chasethecarrot i am somewhat similar to you. the school i want to get into SO FREAKING BADLY is a reach school. i just dont see it happening.</p>

<p>same here with you guys, it’s a really risky approach! but hope it turns out well!</p>

<p>chasethecarrot: Hahahha that was a good one! And don’t freak out, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Good luck and be sure to let us know about your acceptances!</p>

<p>Also, I just got waitlisted by American. Guess it just wasn’t meant to be. :)</p>

<p>Oh I will definitely keep everyone posted…</p>

<p>@nodilemma- You still have an awesome decision to make and I believe you’re 100% correct- there’s something better in the cards for you elsewhere… :)</p>

<p>I’m applying to 4 schools, two I want to go to and expect to get into (USC and NYU) and two schools which are essentially safes. </p>

<p>But after the first time I applied coming out of High School (and I “expected” to get into at least one of the 3 ivies I applied to) I have absolutely no confidence, even with my safes (my current school was my original safe).</p>

<p>I kind of went balls out and applied to my “dream schools.” I feel like a have a decent chance of getting into UNC but Tufts and WUSTL are huge reaches, and they also happen to be my top choices. At this point, I’m just expecting the worst and hoping for the best and not trying to get too attached though it’s not really working because I find myself falling more in love with them everyday. <em>sigh</em></p>
