It seems like forever until decision will be released. The anticipation is killing me!
I got into UMich just about half an hour ago after being deferred!!! Finally, I’m going to college next year :’)
@McKilla99 Congrats!
@IfnousWHO Thanks m8!
@mjstewart1224 nice to know I’m not the only one that had back-up back-ups! lol
@tuty143 this was my thought process…
“I really want to go to this school that probably won’t let me in. I’ll apply anyway.”
“This school is great, but again, highly competitive. I’ll apply here also.”
“I have a pretty decent chance of getting into THESE schools. Backups are good.”
(Several weeks pass, then I panic.)
“WHAT IF THE UNIVERSE IS AGAINST ME AND NOBODY WANTS ME AND OH MY GOD I NEED BACKUPS QUICK FIND A SCHOOL THAT WILL DEFINITELY TAKE ME.”
@mjstewart1224 For me it was like this
“Ok I’ve applied to all my reach schools and my backup school!”
“Um…that isn’t a backup school”
“Oh shoot.”
“Ok I’ll apply to these schools they are nice backups”
Weeks pass
“I JUST NEED AN ACCEPTANCE PLS”
Not gonna lie, I really was beginning to think that I was gonna have to take a gap year. Was so scared, but all that evaporated once I got UMich. And now UIUC too 
I’m damn sure that all of us are gonna get in somewhere awesome.
Hahahaha yes! My boss actually said to me “Dartmouth not a backup for Yale.”
@mjstewart1224 Oh, so Yale is also not a backup for Harvard?.. Just kidding, 
@mjstewart1224 omg you considered another Ivy as a backup for an Ivy? badass
@tuty143 hahaha I didn’t, I swear!!! I’m definitely not that cocky.
I just mentioned I loved Yale, and he was like “where else did you apply”, so I listed other schools, and Dartmouth was one of them. and then he was like “Dartmouth isn’t a backup”
But I hadn’t meant it that way.
@McKilla99 Same yo, first time I’ve been on this thread. Was accepted to UMich and Rutgers Honors College, now for Ross Business school in UMich and the Ivies to come through. Good luck to y’all!
Just had my interview and it was fantastic! Only lasted half an hour, but it was a great interview so I don’t think that’s a bad thing
Now we just have to survive the next two months…
Hey guys! I applied RD as well.
Does anyone know when we are supposed to hear about an interview? I’m getting nervous, I haven’t heard anything yet.
I had my interview today and it went great!
The next two months of waiting are going to be painful though.
@whitespace I think you should have heard before this month or maybe the middle of this month. If you don’t get an interview it isnt an indication of anything, just that they don’t have enough alums in your area or things fell through.
@tuty143 Thanks, I was getting worried. I do live in a major city, though, so I would have thought for sure that I would get an interview. Another school had 8 interviewers just in my zip code.
@whitespace Don’t worry. I live in a major city, where there are tons of alums, and I know there are still students who haven’t been contacted. They’ve been assigned to a volunteer who just hasn’t done anything yet! We have some alums who believe in doing things at the last minute – not ideal, but as students you know that for some people that’s just how they work. Monday morning, call admissions and tell them you haven’t been contacted.
