<p>Tomorrow is the day that SCEA applicants have been waiting for so patiently (or not so patiently). Now that we're all about here back tomorrow, do people have final thoughts on the process? Regrets, wishes, and should-have-dones? I personally wish I had taken a little more time on my ten short answers. How about everyone else?</p>
<p>i took another read and there is absolutely nothing i would change
still nervous though</p>
<p>I wish i weren't asian!! haha jk</p>
<p>Only thing I can say is that I'm not 100% convinced my "intellectual vitality" essay was everything it could have been. I'm just afraid I didn't necessarily emphasize my point and it also kind of criss-crossed into my short Common App essay (however at that time, there were no alternate CA versions, so I had to do it that way), but hindsight is 20/20. I was really happy with everything else, even reading it over today! Common App essays were wonderful, worked hard on my short answers, and I LOVED my other two Stanford essays. If they don't like them, they don't like me. </p>
<p>I'm really not expecting much tomorrow, though all my friends seem to think I'll get in. They haven't seen CC yet though. I give myself the normal 10% chance (based on acceptance rate) and no more. I'm expecting a rejection, I'd be happy with a deferral, and I'd probably die if I got accepted. Stanford's always been my dream school, but ever since stumbling across this website, I have to severely doubt my chances. Have to figure I can't get let down that way.</p>
<p>22 hours!</p>
<p>I wish I had scored higher on my SAT's. Whatever result comes in the mail though, I will accept. I am completely apathetic at this point...</p>
<p>Honestly, I think wringing your hands over your application at this stage is not worth doing. You either get in or you don't. Life moves on. And for most of us, there are plenty of other fantastic schools :)</p>
<p>i agree with polkahard
if they don't like my app, they don't like me, and i don't belong there anyway.... </p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>I DGAF. Like really, accept, defer, reject, no big deal. My friends found out about brown/swarthmore/etc today and they're all freaking out about getting deferred or whatever. If it happens to me, then it just wasn't meant to be, no fighting that.</p>
<p>the stat that 7 michiganders got in last yr is really depressing me.</p>
<p>theres a lot of things i could have done better, but its too late now, whaever i put out there is whatever i could have done given the circumstances.. 21 short hours left... and they are gonna go fast since im not giong to school...</p>
<p>AngelFidelis, why don't you have school? It better not be because of the Ice Storms here in Kansas. If you take one of the precious five spots we get from here, we can't be friends anymore.</p>
<p>I just figured out we find out tomorrow and not saturday... I'm kind of freaking out....</p>
<p>And I have AP Bio to Study for...</p>
<p>And I have to design our Intramural Basketball shirts. (Team name: Silver Snakes. 'Legends of the Hidden Temple, anyone?')</p>
<p>And Finals are next week...</p>
<p>I'm going to die. lol</p>
<p>Phoghawk! I have the Purple Parrots T-shirt, it was a legendary show!</p>
<p>I'm nervous about my essays, and just being on here hasn't done much to help my anxiety, but I like this forum anyway.</p>
<p>i feel the same as polkahard. i dont think my chance is that good, but all my friends think i'll get in =/</p>
<p>I regret my high school career. Hopefully my essays, course load, scores, and having skipped a grade will outweigh my GPA a little bit. </p>
<p>I was apathetic until this week, when I got caught up in everybody freaking out. I found out that 3 people applied EA from my school, and I really don't care, but everybody's asking me who else is. I was planning to make a joke and wear my Stanford sweatshirt today with a sign that says "Maybe...", but now it seems too serious.</p>
<p>I just found out that I have a victory dinner for this trivia competition at 6:30 tomorrow (EST). I really hope I find out before then and not there.</p>
<p>i'm definitely nervous about my essays. i think i could have spent more time on my short answers.. </p>
<p>i think i will treat myself to some frozen yogurt tomorrow whatever the outcome is.. haha</p>
<p>i'm kind've close to ****ing myself. but I'm not too expectant on getting in. although i'll still be very disappointed, can't get away from that. Then there's the whole stage of reminiscing on how I've failed in my high school career and I should've tried harder. But as someone said above, hindsight is 20/20. Whatever is supposed to happen, will happen... that's all I can say to myself.</p>
<p>ah- the short essays- those paragraphs I wrote on the night of the deadline date. Yes, of course I could have done better! I will hate myself forever if I don't get it. I submitted my application around 10:45pm that night. It's not that I wasn't caring much, Stanford is my first choice and I do know of my below avg and dull profile, but I'm just such a procrastinator! To give myself a little credit, I was thinking about what my short-responses would be the entire month of October. Just couldn't put it down.</p>
<p>good night, fellow applicants. best of luck to all tomorrow</p>
<p>Today's my birthday, which has certainly helped me worry/obsess less. But I'm feeling really nervous at this point. School will be fairly unbearable tomorrow I'm sure. Good luck to all... we're almost there.</p>
<p>hey u guys are talking like you are already rejected... now is not the time to go back and think of what you could have done better. what's done is done, and all you can do now is be optimistic and prepare for the best.</p>
<p>Not that im saying i didn't have any such doubts, but i've learned the best way to get through this whole thing is to remain optimistic.</p>
<p>God speed. I pray that I get in.</p>
