<p>i'm really nervous as well. yesterday i received an email from admissions saying my transcript, secondary report, ED agreement, and teacher recs were all missing, and if i didn't send it in ASAP, i wouldn't be considered ED. This freaked me out because i had sent those in late september. </p>
<p>but its okay now. i called the office, and apparently, they found my stuff. phew.</p>
<p>darkhope - are you going to check your acception/rejection by email or letter?</p>
<p>I don' think I'll be able to wait until the letter comes. I think if I check my email and I don't get in, the rejection will be a tad bit easier to take than by mail, just because it seems more casual and not so official. Either way, though, it'll be tough, because all the people I talk to in life are confident that I'll get in - false hope, you know? I can definitely say that I'm anything but confident about it. But, what happens, happens.</p>
<p>email seems so sudden and just fast and instant...while mails it takes longer than 1 sec to know if u got accepted/rejected...since the email titles tell it all already...</p>
<p>It does, but then again, could you wait a couple days for the letter? In a sense, the letter s instaneous too- because you can tell by the size whether you got in or not. You don't even need to open it. Anyways, </p>
<p>Thats not how I'm counting it. Since we get our decisions midday the 15th, I'm not counting it. 12 Days. Second, I'm not counting today either. So then its 11 days.</p>
<p>I m g o i n g i n s a n e i w a n t t h e d e c i s i o n </p>
<p>Can't I just call and be like " please tell me, my sanity depends on it?" </p>
<p>But I just want the decision because everyone tells me i'm not going get in and that I don't have a chance, and yet, some people are telling me i have a chance (my friends of course) and just a little bit of me, that little part of me still believes i'm going to get in, despite that everyone says i'm not. And I just want to know so I can stop going back and forth between my extreme moods of "i'm not going to get" and "i'm going to get in" This whole process is a rollercoaster and I just want to know so I can relax and get off the roller coaster. </p>
<p>my mind is pulled in all directions and its literally giving me a stomache =(</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, the subject line of the email was something like "Johns Hopkins Admissions" and I had to open it to find out. The first word was congratulations though...</p>
<p>The mouse at the computer where I was working was broken, and it took me forever to click the subject line... I thought my heart was going to explode, lol.</p>
<p>Looking back, it was a very exciting time. Two things: first, my friends who did not get into their top-choice colleges are still alive, the black hole of rejection did not swallow them up, and they are <em>gasp</em> happy at where they ended up. Second, no matter how much you "hate high school," realize that this may be the last time you are that close to so many of your friends and people who you've known for a long time. </p>
<p>College is great, and Hopkins is full of great people. But it is infinitely harder to get to know your entire class at the level you know your high school class. </p>
