Does anyone else keep on hip-hopping between “It’s okay if I don’t get in” and full-blown panic?
While I’m waiting for my Cornell decision I’m working on an article for our newspaper about application tips… which basically means I’m just going over my application over and over in my head. This is NOT helping my stress level. 
@ebiersack YES. I just want to get it over with though
I’m really hoping it is a good omen!
@ebiersack literally me. i’ll get some really confident moments, some really healthy moments of “you’ll end up where you belong” and some horrible moments of hyperventilation and being about to cry
@ebiersack nope… just preparing for a devastating sinking of my heart into the abyss called my stomach
If we DO get in, what are you guys most excited for?
Lol it’s nice to know other people perfectly understand all of the strange emotions I’m feeling
Yes @ebiersack I also keep going back and forth from 100% acceptance to 100% reject/deferral. It’s brutal
@nargles19 Greek life, FSAE, and the life-long friends i make!
Guys! Everyone is freaking out right now (including me!) But either you freak out, fuss over things that you can’t change, and do nothing for three days or stay calm and get some other work done for three days wont make any difference on what is going to happen on Thursday. Try to drink some tea, get some homework done, and go to bed. I am saying this to myself too. I hope we all meet as Cornellians 
Hehe… page 69 B-) … Anyways @051066 I initially felt like I had a good chance but after seeing all the stats here I feel way less sure.
@nargles19 CALS farmers market, hiking, the location (my backup school is suburban, not my thing), FRESH APPLES!!! and NY cheddar all the time. Plus the amazing academic/research opportunities that come with the best school for my major.
@hleeigh hiking x10139i034024 the proximity to the mountains is amazing
@Shrilkshire omgggg I went hiking and trail running when I visited for like 3 days, it was AMAZING!!! we stayed at a small hotel run by SHA grads and it had a trail to Buttermilk Falls…sorry I’m so in love if you couldn’t tell LOL
The thing is, I do think I have a solid chance at Cornell (and no, I do not have an ego). I just really don’t know and I keep on switching between “I’ll get in” and “just waitin’ for that rejection/deferral.”
It’s incredibly agonizing, considering that I’m also having semester finals that could mess up my GPA … Funny thing is, I’m scared that if I don’t get in ED, I’ll be depressed and distracted during finals, therefore messing up my senior year first semester grades and consequently my chances at other schools in applying to if I don’t get in ED.
(random question) how will you guys open the letters? just in general, do you want to be with people around you or just alone? will you be at your house or somewhere else? do you think this would change the initial shock?
basically im overthinking even HOW i will open the decision
Damn I really wish I get in. Everyone says I have a great chance with above average stats and GPA, but I’m just not feeling it. Definitely the outdoors. Tree Climbing, hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, and of course watching the scenery from on top of Libe Slope and singing “Far above Cayuga’s waters”!
Better to be alone. lol. Don’t wanna open up a rejection letter in front 10 ppl.
lol my school got rid of final exams this year.
@jionrubia I’ll be on a school trip so I’ll either open with 3 of my closest friends or wait an extra day until I’m with my parents (which is what I’d prefer). Don’t worry though, I’m completely overthinking every aspect of this lol
