Anyone here doing all-nighers for UC apps?

<p>biological science, how about u? and ya,.. hopefully i'll see u there next year..:D</p>

<p>cultural anthropology.....after writing this essay for millions of hours, i'm not so sure anymore!</p>

<p>I just finished. Submitting my application Tuesday evening.</p>

<p>i'm jealous...</p>

<p>did u drink coffee today? i just drank a cup.. but im still sleepy</p>

<p>i drank a double espresso this afternoon. i know what you mean about still being sleepy. Sometimes if i don't drink enough, coffee makes me sleepy. I don't need any now though, I've been anxious enough to keep me awake for days. now I'm just delirious.</p>

<p>Don't be jealous. A little more work and you'll get there. Are you guys aiming to submit tomorrow? You can still submit during the day on Wednesday.</p>

<p>i'm gonna submit on wednesday, probably. i have to study for an astronomy test tomorrow night. do you think the server will be too busy on wednesday?</p>

<p>dont know, but im trying to finish my essay today so that i can send it tomorrow... omg, im so sleepy...ZZzzzzzZ</p>

<p>wow, apparently yawning is contagious over the internet! ok, i need to stop procrastinating right now. this is my last post tonight....probably
well, at least for the next hour. maybe</p>

<p>...two all-nighters in a row for me. </p>

<p>The UCs just had to make the application deadline right before finals when everything seems to pile up on you.</p>

<p>=[</p>

<p>jesus, it's 6am and i'm finally sort of done with my essay. i say sort of because i finally cut it down to 812 words. It's bland and doesn't sum me up at all, but I answered the questions to the best of my ability. I'll meet with my counselor today to edit it even more. I still have 20 pages to read for history. I want to crawl under a rock and die..........</p>

<p>"I want to crawl under a rock and die.........."</p>

<p>Don't die squarepeg because then you wouldn't be able to find out what UCs accept you. Haha J/P...But seriously, stick with it! I know all of us on here are pretty burnt out from school....</p>

<p>SO ready for all of this to be over. Squarepeg, I totally sympathize with your desire to crawl under a rock and die. Oi.</p>

<p>The lamest part about this application process for me is that it's really hard not to feel like a rejection is personal, so it almost feels like a waste to pour your heart and soul into the essays just to show some stranger that you're a real cool person who would do well on their campus. </p>

<p>... I need caffeine. >_></p>

<p>I turned my application in! Yay!</p>

<p>By the way does anyone know the approximate times we will find out the admissions decisions for the following schools...</p>

<p>UC Berkeley
UCLA
UCSD
UCD
UCR
UCSB</p>

<p>I want to mark it on my calender as I'm looking forward to collecting reject slips! hah.</p>

<p>im writting my 600 word essay right now. not very good but as long as it gets done.</p>

<p>you can submit it up to the 11:59PM deadline on Wed...</p>

<p>Thanks for the support guys. i emailed my essay to my counselor and to my surprise, she thought it was good. did anyone else find that after reading their essay a hundred times, it started to seem worse and worse. all i have to say is sleep on it (even if it's for two hours, like i did!). my essay seemed so much better after i hadn't thought about it for a while. i still think it's a freakish representation of myself as a single-minded anthro geek , but whatever gets me in, i guess.
....and it's true that rejection, which I'm sure is iminent, will seem very personal. I'm just gonna try not to think about it......yeah right. :)</p>

<p>By the way, thanks Iwannatransfer and kevintech for helping me stay awake last night!</p>

<p>Berkeley I believe is April 29th, they are the only campus who gives an exact date. They are very good with that. The other campuses release decisions on a rolling basis as they are made. This occurs after April 29th. UCLA is the last campus you will probably hear from. Their decisions are made beginning in early May to mid May. Good luck, the wait can be excruciating, ulcer-causing, and vomit-inducing. Try not to let it get to you, though I know it will. It gets to everybody.</p>

<p>I would think the wait should be relaxing. I mean, it's already in the books! Sure, you can set up for an appeal; but still, right now should be the stressful part--and I'm relaxed so I'm happy!</p>
