That's how it is with all top colleges. It really is nerveracking. I'm applying as a transfer and am playing the waiting game all over again like I did in high school.</p>
<p>When if first glanced at the title of this thread I got freaked out for a moment thinking that decisions were already being sent out by the masses, but of course I misread the year 2010.</p>
<p>Wow, I feel sick. Literally like I'm going to throw up. I'm never getting in.</p>
<p>have some faith in yourself</p>
