<p>So, it's just a matter of weeks before I (and many other seniors) will be recieving the letters that define our entire lives (supposedly). And I'm completely freaking out. I've fallen in love with my mailbox again. I spend way too much time thinking about those letters and all college related things.</p>
<p>Any ideas on what I can do to take some of the stress off?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm totally nervous, too..I have an awesome option in UNC-Chapel Hill to go with if nothing else comes my way, but I still have an insane fear of rejection. haha</p>
<p>Oh yeah, UNC Chapel Hill is a great school. ^^</p>
<p>I'm just praying that if I get any rejections that they come on the same day as some acceptances, so that some of the disappointment is kind of taken off... if that makes sense.</p>
<p>Yea, the only school I've been accepted into so far is Rollins. And even then I'm still waiting to see if I get the scholarship money I want from there. Otherwise it is March 29th for the Ivies. :(</p>
<p>I'm absolutely scared to death about Cornell ILR now; because it's rolling, the decision could be on the website any day. So I end up checking all the time.</p>
<p>Yeah, the wait definitely stresses you out. I have two back-ups so far (UCLA and UCSB, Regents at SB and maybe LA), but I really want to go to Cal, Dartmouth, or Duke. I opened the mailbox today b/c I had a feeling that something in there was for me, but nothing. :p lol</p>
<p>^ I wish I could call UCLA my "back-up"... it's my first choice! </p>
<p>But anywho... yeah, I too have been checking the snail mail/e-mail obsessively. I shouldn't be worried, I already know I'm in at a couple of really good schools... but of course all of the schools that I'm REALLY interested in aren't releasing decisions till much later in the month. Blah. :-(</p>
<p>Yeah same. I have Duke now to fall back on, and that's great...but I'm still constantly freaking out about the 29th, when I hear back from Yale, Stanford, Princeton, and Harvard (and some other places I don't care as much about). Eek. I pray for an acceptance from one of those schools but I'm definitely not counting on one.</p>
<p>I don't know what to do either. I am so stressed out from all of this..I feel like all I do anymore is read on CC, do schoolwork (of course), check my mail, and then check email/college websites obsessively. </p>
<p>this isn't healthy for any of us. I actually already posted a thread about this...lol.</p>
<p>OMG I KNOW!! This waiting is just as stressfiul and junior year was, if not more...because now its all out of our hands. It's hard to believe that we've been waiting nearly 4 months for this, and i honestly don't know how that was possible without going insane.</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely think it's more stressful... just because there's nothing we can do now.</p>
<p>Checked my mailbox today.. and nothing but flyers. Grah.</p>
<p>Hey erhswimming- I just found out I got into Rollins last Friday. Congrats, and good luck with the Ivies.</p>
