<p>I know that there is yaybrown.com, but with only 3 weeks left it really is time to start the countdown, and to look forward to a place to post results to. </p>
<p>This is honestly sucking me dry. I work up a cold sweat whenever somebody says December 15th…</p>
<p>hands up who checks yaybrown.com rigorously in hopes that time has just magically passed by?</p>
<p>My boyfriend just got into Cal Tech
My best friend got into Stanford a couple days ago
One of my other friends got into M&T at Penn.
I’LL BE THE ONLY ONE IN MY GROUP REJECTED. :(</p>
<p>If someone were to ask me what the most frustrating, exhilarating, pinnacle-like, nerve-wracking, tingling, depressing moment was in my life… I’d say it was today. -_- </p>
<p>I just wish that my mind would be able to stay neutral about this entire situation and not be too polarized about decisions.
“Oh, you know, they’ll like me. I feel like I’m getting in.”
(cries) “Why would they even want me? There are so many better applicants out there…”
I should just stick to the rejection mindset so that I’m either really ecstatic about the acceptance, pleasantly surprised about the deferral, or correct about my assumption.</p>
<p>I’m the Dad of a Brown University ED applicant…of course, we’re eager and anxious for tomorrow. That being said, for all of you out there, take a deep breath. If you get in, fantastic…if you don’t, I guarantee you that you’re going to be admitted to great, great schools where you’ll have a super collegiate experience. We went through this with our older son…he applied ED to a different Ivy League school, got deferred, ultimately rejected and ended up attending another elite university. He never looked back and had an amazing college experience. So, good luck to all of you (especially, my son! ;-))…but, relax. If you’ve applied to Brown, then whether you get in or not, I know that you’re going to be a great, great school come September of 2012.</p>
