<p>Someone should call them again tomorrow morning and report back. :)</p>
<p>I won't even let myself believe that it's the 11th. That would be too good to be true.</p>
<p>i'm still counting down to the 15th, unless we get an e-mail that says otherwise</p>
<p>It is 7 days, 19 hours, 47 minutes and 46 seconds until Monday, December 15, 2008 at 5:00:00 PM (New York time)</p>
<p>I would actually prefer friday. If it's thursday, I will either be really really hyper at school the next day and depress all the other kids who ED'ed to their schools and didnt get in, or be really really depressed and i HATE ppl asking me if i'm ok and trying to give me hugs cuz that just makes me more emotional and i know ill break down in front of everyone...</p>
<p>yeah..i won't cry from rejection but i will cry from all of the hugs and ARE YOU OK'S the next day in school...can't handle that</p>
<p>that is exactly why i didn't tell anyone i was applying early... b/c if i don't get in, i won't get pity! well, that was the goal, anyway.
it's going to be really funny if i start saying, "sooo i got in to Columbia early... no, i didn't tell anyone before this" haha lol.</p>
<p>If I don't get in.... and people try to hug me.... there is going to be a serious smackdown.</p>
<p>I am reading the class of 2011 RD results thread, and there are all these people that get accepted to Columbia and then are like, "Well, now I have some decisions to make..." and I am just like "WHAT DECISION. YOU GOT INTO COLUMBIA. NO DECISION REQUIRED."</p>
<p>sigh...</p>
<p>yup, the next day at school will be the worst.</p>
<p>sigh........</p>
<p>the next week will be longer than the past month.
and i have a calc test and an essay due.
this week will be great cuz i wont be able to focus on anything else till decisions come out.</p>
<p>I'd say 2/3 of my class of 340 kids knows how badly I want to get into Columbia so not only will I get the stupid pity, I will be straight up embarrassed!</p>
<p>now i'm regretting telling people that i applied to columbia ED. except i'd had no choice because everyone would always ask, so what's your #1? did you apply anywhere ED? and i couldn't lie. so now... i REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna get in... please columbiaaaa</p>
<p>I know... I always want to reply to people that ask me that (especially random teachers/other adults that I'm not close to) with "None of your DAMN business!"</p>
<p>I completely understand the embarrassment issue. I am going to be mortified of the public world if I am rejected.</p>
<p>In reality, though, there's no reason for that! Getting rejected from Columbia is nothing to be ashamed of - it's incredibly hard to get into! I just have to keep reminding myself of that...</p>
<p>Oh man. If I get accepted...</p>
<p>yea i wish i didnt tell ppl where i applied. or that i even applied anywhere ED.
like EVERY conversation the day after, and the week of dec 15 will be super awkward. cuz either u got in and the person ur talking to didnt and u dunno how to act. or u didnt get in and they did and u feel all stupid and stuff.
gah this sucks.</p>
<p>eurydice, agreed! lol. possibly 4 more days guys! i think i'll preoccupy myself with writing essays for my RD schools, so I won't be as impatient...</p>
<p>...and I have an interview of the 10th. I should have scheduled it for the 11th. that way, if I get into columbia, I won't have to go the interview! :/ poor judgment on my part.</p>
<p>I use the quick route out: Oh, I'll tell you where I applied after I get accepted...otherwise...ya...</p>
<p>where's your interview for?</p>
<p>NoReMasta; i did the same thing. but they still all know that i applied somewhere ED, and they assume that its ivy, so if i look super depressed on either 11th 12th or 15th, they will know its because of a rejection and start hugging me...GAWD</p>
<p>kind of wishing i hadn't told people right now too. this whole month everyone kept asking me if i'd gotten in yet. not only did that make me want to get into columbia even more, but i'm going to be that much more depressed if i have to tell every single person that i didn't get it. sigh....i can't take it any more. they better accept all of us. haha.</p>
<p>haha. yea im so depressed like 50 kids from my school applied ED...literally...
ughhh this sucks. i dont even have any hope anymore.
but on the brightside...if i dont get in ED ill have more options later? haha thats what i keep telling myself....there are other great schools like upenn...i totally shouldve applied to upenn cuz i read somewhere that upenn ED apps went wayyy down and columbia ED apps went up like 20 percent. and only like 10 kids from my school applied to upenn ED.
these 4 days r gunna suck!</p>
