Countdown to Decisions *** Discussion

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University
21

<p>I keep reminding myself of those days.</p>

<p>And it sucks.</p>

<p>I applied to 13 universities and I've only heard from three. I got rejected from my top school, accepted into an almost neglegible safety, and accepted into a really cool safety... and now, I'm waiting for 10 others to just come back to me with something.</p>

<p>You know what's even more sucky? Senior Year in the IB is the hardest year, not the easiest... so on top of my worries, comes a large chunk of school work that needs to get done soon. Blah.</p>

22

<p>Unfortunate justasleep; I feel for you.</p>

23

<p>Yeah, I honestly can't imagine having to do lots of homework too. Sorry dude.</p>

<p>I wish they could just tell us after they made their decision, really.</p>

24

<p>justasleep, i feel your pain. i've had 4 hours of homework A NIGHT this semester. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE :(</p>

<p>i just want to know... sigh.</p>

25

<p>I really can't wait for decisions. I know there's no way that I'll be accepted (GPA has...declined slightly from the 4.0 at end of soph year), but I just want to know what's going to happen and be done with it. I almost wish I didn't go to EPGY last summer; I know first-hand how awesome the place is and everything. Oh well. There's always grad school, right? ;)</p>

26

<p>^It dropped to what a 3.98??? </p>

<p>sumzup, you're not expected to maintain perfection all the way, because the stuff you learn will get harder. Life was much easier back in freshmen/sophomore year in HS.</p>

<p>You're fine. If you get rejected (which probably will happen for most of us ... not being negative, but going along with statistics), it won't be because of your GPA. </p>

<p>More likely, given the ambiguity of admissions, it's probably the ADCOM saying this, "Another file!? I want to go home NOW, so let's just reject Stacks 103-110. Oh look, there goes 10% of our workload. That was easy..."</p>

27

<p>Lol. I won't be surprised if some schools actually do that to admission files.</p>

28

<p>Lol ab2013 that totally cracked me up.</p>

29

<p>I am getting nervous...</p>

30

<p>i bet they do that with the apps. Or they just have general things that automatically disqualify you. like if your app is handwritten, if your app number ends in 6 etc.</p>

31

<p>at this point i'm just ridiculously anxious to find out the decision.
i'm from california and my high school already had THREE early decision applicants accepted with a couple others accepted from nearby schools. this probably hurts my chances right? i mean, chances for stanford were already low, i figure that chances are close to 0 considering the number of people already accepted from my area and the economic problems going on...</p>

32

<p>^LOL i think my common app id ended in 6 ......................... ;_;</p>

33

<p>Phew, I just checked mine and it doesn't. :P</p>

34

<p>in the end all that matters to me is that this waiting game end soon. im far too distracted by CC to get anything done.</p>

35

<p>the worst thing is that I'm on my spring break right now (just about two weeks left), and I really, really can't wait for decisions, but wanting that date (whether it's march 27 or april 1) means my spring break will be [almost] over, which I don't want ;__; this is so painful!!!
Especially because I'm home from boarding school for break and am getting asked by absolutely everyone about college...</p>

36

<p>yea I am somehow always on CC. Need to get past these 2 weeks now.</p>

<p>I don't even have spring break until March 27 or something but Stanford's decision will make me the most nervous...</p>

37

<p>Someone reply to this if you feel like Stanford is totally out of your league and yet maintain a small flame of hope that they'll see something great in you.</p>

38

<p>^Haha that's totally me</p>

39

<p>o gosh that's me too....</p>

40

<p>yeah...but I don't even maintain a flame of hope.</p>
