Hey there! Just dropping by from the Penn ED discussion thread to wish you guys luck for d-day!! 
I hope you all get into amazing colleges and have the best four years of your life no matter where you end up at. Our ED/SCEA school is obviously our dream school, but it is not the only good school out there. Each year, colleges admit that they make mistakes during the admissions process. It’s not you, it’s them. You have all worked very hard to get to where you are right now, so don’t let a few words bring you down. You are more than your application and it’s a shame that some colleges may not see beyond your papers, but it’s their loss. Be confident and know that you are going to be amazing no matter where you go for college 
If we get in ED, but the aid package does not suit us by about 3-4k, can we ask them to adjust it? Because for a college I doubt 3-4k in one particular case is a big deal, but for a student it could be the deal breaker. Thanks
omg!!
Just stopping in from the Penn ED thread! Good luck to everyone!!!
Less than 10 hours now!! 8-X
Good luck everyone! I’ve been terrified the last couple of days, but reading through this thread has made me feel so much better.
TODAY IS THE DAY! Don’t let whatever happens get you down if it’s not what you want! As everyone has said already, we’re all qualified for this school, but sometimes we just don’t know what the colleges are looking for! Don’t let it make or break you, just know that whatever happens happens!
today’s the day!!! I can’t think about anything else right now but I have 4 long classes to sit through /o\
Guys this is it!!! What are you all doing to keep yourselves calm?
I’m going to do the presentation in 20 minutes. Does this count as the way to keep myself calm :((
Results come out around 2 am Dubai time so I’m just trying to waste as much time as possible.
@dubaidreamer results here come out at 7am so I have lie in bed with my eyes wide open… hoping that time passes by quickly enough.
I did my makeup up all nice today to treat myself but i’m so nervous it came out like car crash wreckage lmao
@rotciv ugh that has to suck really badly. Here’s to hoping that everything goes well! Also, has anyone else been putting off their other college applications? I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t concentrate on anything else other than this,
well I just got some crappy news so. here’s to hoping that my day ends better than it started
@dubaidreamer I haven’t been able to finish any other apps yet! I applied to 3 UCs and one EA safety but that’s it other than Brown!
@dubaidreamer my school requires that we send all of our apps out by December 1st, or they won’t send any transcripts out! It’s pretty unfortunate because we can’t wait for ED/EA results to come out before deciding to apply elsewhere if necessary. So it turns out to be a massive waste of money between application fees and sending scores if you get in to your top school early. In any event, I also applied to Vassar, Wesleyan, NYU, The New School, Champlain, Reed, and two state schools as safeties.
How are y’all feeling? Just imagine going to bed tonight knowing that the college admissions process is over and that you’re going to Brown
ik im not getting in, I have a B+ gpa with 2060 SATs so theres not hope in even trying to think about getting in. Either way, i hope nice people end up there, and hopefully wake forest or tulane takes me…
@artblogger I did the exact same! Other than that, I’ve done a few of my essays for my RD choices but I have the majority left to finish. I feel like I’m being paranoid and applying to too many colleges but I don’t want to take any risks. Fingers crossed for later tonight/early tomorrow morning.
@ruby21 that’s really unfair to be honest. Hopefully, you’ll get good news from Brown or those other colleges. I think my school stops uploading on the 20th of December so I have a couple more days to finish up.
It’s so nice to talk to you all. Most of my friends are either applying to the UK or are completely blowing of their applications.
