<p>Haha...I don't really believe in hell either.</p>
<p>The ones I listed on my application were:</p>
<p>The Sound and the Fury – Faulkner
The Plague – Camus
The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories – Booker
Burmese Days - Orwell</p>
<p>Of those, The Sound and the Fury is probably my favorite... How about you guys?</p>
<p>The ones listed in my application:</p>
<p>Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
The Book of Mormon translated by Joseph Smith, Jr.
"The Complete Stories of Flannery O’ Connor"
Hopscotch by Julio Cort</p>
<p>For all those interested in whether DS has been responding to messages about whether they received application materials, I just got this from the admissions committee:</p>
<p>"I apologize for the delayed response. We have received and are
considering all components of your application. There have been no
problems."</p>
<p>Not much to read into there... have other people who asked if their application materials arrived gotten similar replies?</p>
<p>In a way, it almost sounds promising.</p>
<p>So if you got into Deep Springs, you would have influence in deciding what classes are offered. What would you want to take?</p>
<p>As for books, I'm a bit of a Dostoyevsky junkie.</p>
<p>My heart is speeding up just about every time the phone rings.</p>
<p>I thought I was the only one. :)</p>
<p>You two need to relax. It's Friday, so there's an SB meeting tonight, and thus no phone calls unless they were early afternoon. Perhaps they're even finalizing who to call... :P</p>
<p>Ok, now we can panic whenever a phone rings :)</p>
<p>If anyone gets the call, please be so kind as to give some sort of notification here, and also perhaps the first letter of your last name on the chance it's going alphabetically again this year.</p>
<p>ok now that it's okay to panic</p>
<p>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)</p>
<p>really? no calls yet? no one? this is getting worrisome</p>
<p>Would it be too much to expect a call on a Sunday night?! Probably---but I have my phone right next to me just in case.</p>
<p>By the way, bdmoore, sufjanfan (and others here), Deep Springs'd be the one missing out if you don't at least get to Round 2...</p>
<p>Tonight MUST have been the day they started notifying people, right?
...I mean, last year it seems like people started getting notified on the 9th.</p>
<p>Yeah, qu'est-ce qui se passe?</p>
<p>None of us got in?</p>
<p>Seriously, if some of you guys don't get in, then nobody deserves to get in. Reading your posts makes my jaw drop--I mean, I know who Foucault and Rawls are, and I may have read brief snippets of them or about them, but you guys have already <em>read</em> Foucault and Rawls. </p>
<p>So I'm saying that if so far nobody here hasn't gotten in, then they haven't started notifying anybody...
...I hope. >_<</p>
<p>I want to go to college with all of you. Let's make this a CollegeConfidential year.</p>
<p>I'm listening to A.C. Newman (of The New Pornographers fame) -- The Slow Wonder ...repeatedly...</p>
<p>...not doing my Princeton application... which was technically due today (well, they "encourage" applicants to submit by Dec. 15th)... hating their prompts, wishing they were as sprawling as Deep Spring's or as unique as UChicago's. @_@ </p>
<p>I need to do something, and quick.</p>
<p>two days ago, a Noam Finkelstein was kind enough to respond to the email that I sent on the 23rd wondering if my application had been received:</p>
<p>I apologize for the delayed response. Many of the applications we
received this year arrived a few days late. Your application is being
given full consideration.
Best of luck,
Noam Finkelstein
Applications Committee</p>
<p>It felt nice to have some contact with this mysterious apcom but I'm still anxious as hell. Have any of you received timely responses to emails you have sent?</p>
<p>While I wait, I'm listening to Lucky Dube...which puts you in a trance and physically slows down time. </p>
<p>Didn't apply to any Ivies because I don't have SAT IIs. Kind of wishing I had taken them, but I can't stand standardized testing. I took the SAT I once and that was enough for me.</p>
