<p>oh i will most definitely tell my mom to open it, though the fact that i’ll have to tell everyone immediately is awful since everyone keeps assuring me i’m going to get in (enormous overconfidence on their part, i’m pretty doubtful) and then that’s just gonna be awkward</p>
<p>@kerplunkish, feeling the same way. everyone’s telling me i’m a shoo-in, so getting deferred is gonna be super awk</p>
<p>knowing my brother, (who’s home from college) he’ll either open it without asking me, or forget to even get the mail haha</p>
<p>I always imagined getting the decision by opening a letter, so I would definitely wait.
I avoided the awk by only telling a very few close friends about where I’m applying.</p>
<p>haah @kerplunkish @flamingo634: same! everyone expects me to get in, i don’t know whats going to happen if i get deferred!! my dad’s going to open it for me… i think i might actually have a heart attack if i open it myself lol</p>
<p>exactly!! haha I think I’m too good at not caring…so apathetic right now compared to last night</p>
<p>Everyone I know tells me I’m a lock bc I got a 2240 on the SAT, and I have to tell them that they just don’t understand! It’ll be so frustrating if I don’t get in because everyone will act all surprised</p>
<p>omg i keep getting that too and it’s so horrible! i know that people are trying to be nice by reassuring me that i’ll get in but i feel like i’m going to be disappointing everyone when i get deferred :(</p>
<p>I know exactly what you mean! They are only trying to be supportive but it adds a lot of pressure.</p>
<p>im glad you guys feel that way too. i feel like no one is a “lock” anymore at a high-ranking school like georgetown.
I keep running the scenario of opening the letter over and over in my head lol… it is torturing me! some reason, i can only imagine getting accepted, so it will be absolutely devastating if i open to a defer letter :(</p>
<p>have any of you guys received any form of contact from g’town after you received an email confirming part ii of your application was submitted?</p>
<p>georgetown doesn’t have a portal where you can check if all the components of you application are “in.” it just feels very unsettling, you know?</p>
<p>I just don’t tell people… easier that way…</p>
<p>If I get in, I tell them. If I don’t, then I never applied to the best of their knowledge. Less pressure, less stress, less disappointment. </p>
<p>At least that’s what I’m doing for my (even more competitive) RD schools, for EA it’s too late…</p>
<p>this is just so wildd. I can’t believe the day is actually so close.</p>
<p>thats too funny. i’ve been doing that too lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>does anyone else feel like College Confidential represents like the upper tier of applicants? cause like if i were to avergaet the SAT scores on here and compare it to Gtowns average acceptance SAT score, CC’s would be much higher. So i kinda feel like this site at times screws with my confidence in that sense</p>
<p>Yeah, I never received anything after the part ii confirmation. On the GTown website it says that they will email you if you are missing anything after the deadline though, so it’s not a bad thing to not hear from them afterwards I hope.</p>
<p>@constantki: ok good :)</p>

<p>I can’t do anything…</p>
<p>do you guys know that they send out the letters tomorrow?</p>
<p>i’m glad everyone feels the way i do about everyone’s foolish overconfidence in the equality of the college application process. it seems like people simply don’t understand that high ranking universities reject a huge percentage of qualified candidates. if i hadn’t already accepted the random nature of this process i think all my imminent rejections/deferrals would kill me</p>
