Countdown to ED Notification

<p>lol oh noes, now you think of that whenever you say KY?</p>

<p>thanks to ilcapo....ughh</p>

<p>Ah, well. I doubt I'll live here after Princeton (yes, after Princeton ;)). So it's okay.</p>

<p>reading this just gave me butterflies, but I'm smiling so I guess its not that bad. I don't think I'd ever call. I'll stubbornly wait for my package, thank you very much. But December 17th/22nd will be my deadline: no news, and I'll head to the phone (crosses fingers and hopes it doesn't come to that) :)</p>

<p>I think they ship the acceptances priority, so if mine's late I won't call.....how would going to pieces while on the phone with an admissions officer be? haha, what fun.</p>

<p>I don't think I actually would go to pieces, but still...I'd rather not find out the hard way...(plus I wouldn't want to hurt any chances for RD admission if I'm deferred.)</p>

<p>Would it be the adcoms taking our calls? Or students working in the office? I doubt admissions officers would want to tell people: "Yes, you were admitted." "Sorry, you've been deferred." all day for 1000s of emotional/wound-up/anxious applicants. After the stress of the reading period, i don't think the adcom could handle taking calls on top of it...!
Q:
If you heard your fate on the phone, would you just say, "Okay, thanks." and hang up? Or would you ask questions and drag the conversation out?</p>

<p>"okay thanks"</p>

<p>lol i dont think the person on the fone wants to here it and they had nothing to do with the process so they probably have no idea :-D</p>

<p>Is getting deferred like "you're good, but not good enough"?</p>

<p>i think deffered is more like: "..hmm... we'll have to get back to you"</p>

<p>cuz they think that although you werent up there with the EDer's, you stand a good chance at the RD pool</p>

<p>Hmm yeah... makes sense</p>

<p>Oh the anticipation is killing me >.<</p>

<p>hmmmm - imagine what this place will be like when there's 3 days to go...</p>

<p>a zoo? and after notification, it will become a petting zoo. example:</p>

<p>Poster A: Hey, I got in! Woohoo! My life is suh-weet! Rock! w00t! Awesome! I'm crying!
Poster B: Ooh ooh, that's cool! <em>PET PET PET PET PET</em> what were your SAT scores? what GPA did you have? what was your exact schedule so I can replicate it? how can I be exactly like you so I can get in? <em>PET PET PET PET PET</em> I <3 you.</p>

<p>Fun times.</p>

<p>lol - yeah, good times. It'll be so crazy - I wonder who will post the longest rejoice. Like: YYAAAHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT - PPPPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN 0000000099999999 FFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!! yEAH!!</p>

<p>---> totally fun - i feel like a kid again :p</p>

<p>If you did that, the deferred/rejected people would personally hunt you down and assassinate you. :)</p>

<p>Haha, this cracks me up--the Yale board has just started a "countdown." too.</p>

<p>Yale bulldogs in the gutter :P</p>

<p>lol haha I loved that. </p>

<p>I want to try to stay away from here in the days just before I get it, because I know being here will just make it so much harder. And I'd love to stay away if I didn't get in, because seeing everyone so happy will kill me. But I think I passed that "being able to stay away from cc" point a loonnng time ago</p>

<p>I know what you mean Zant... it would be hard to come here rejected :/ I would be happy for those who got in, as there are so many great people here, but still, I'd be pretty sad</p>

<p>Sometimes while walking home I think about exactly how I'm going to open the mailbox and get the envelope and whether I would start crying before I even opened it because the size is so telltale. And what I would do either way...it's so nervewracking!</p>

<p>How many people from the ED roster do you think will get in?</p>
