April 1st--the end of the world or the start of a new life?

<p>I can't wait. I'm seriously staring at the calendar every day wishing time would move faster. Then again, I don't want to know if I'm rejected, so I'm still preparing my reaction to that big fat "NO" that may come. Anyone started a countdown yet?? And who are you most anxious to hear from?</p>

<p>Me: Princeton</p>

<p>There’s a thread about this for Ivy applicants on the Admissions board.</p>

<p>But it is nicer here at HSL.</p>

<p>Congratulations xAAAx, you have been accepted to Princeton!</p>

<p>…APRIL FOOLS!</p>

<p>That would suck.</p>

<p>^lol. that would be harsh.</p>

<p>lol!..yes, that really would!</p>

<p>But I’d least feel like they cared for a split second =P</p>

<p>Compensating? Don’t think so.</p>

<p>end of the world if you dont get into princeton? lmao</p>

<p>lol, nahh…there’s always grad school =)</p>

<p>But if that doesn’t work out, then yes, it’s the end of the world ;)</p>

<p>It would be funny if a college stuffed a bunch of empty white papers into a envelope and wrote “Congratulations…” on the outside.</p>

<p>You receive this fat envelope, open it up, and see “…on being rejected!”, and cry. LOL.</p>

<p>haha, I’d actually like to see that happen. I’m sure it would make the news</p>

<p>lol!..that university then really went all out for a rejection!</p>

<p>Don’t worry about it you guys. Mostly everyone gets rejected somewhere. It’s part of life and dealing with not getting everything you want.</p>

<p>^you say mostly everyone though, which means there are two exceptions:</p>

<ol>
<li>people who get in everywhere</li>
<li>people who get rejected everywhere</li>
</ol>

<p>It is very very very very rare for someone to get accepted everywhere. My friend who got into Harvard got rejected by Yale and Stanford.</p>

<p>I SERIOUSLY doubt you guys are going to rejected everywhere.</p>

<p>^I have a fear I will be rejected everywhere else (but luckily I’m in two places! :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>Also, it’s not the end of the world or a new life, exactly. It’s new, in going to college…but it’s still your life. And end of the world, really???</p>

<p>It will just be part of the flow of life. Go with it…and you will most likely be happy wherever you attend college! :D</p>

<p>Yes. this thread wasn’t intended to be so deeply philosophical though lol</p>

<p>^My response was deep philosophy…?</p>

<p>in a cliche way, yes.</p>

<p>Start of a new life. I would be happy to go to any of my safeties.</p>

<p>I honestly don’t care about admissions any more. I don’t think about it. I’m just enjoying the second semester of senior year, laughing at the asinine things said/done in class, and having more fun. I don’t care about the 30,000+ applicants to Harvard or Stanford, or the 7% acceptance rates. It’s not worth my time.</p>
