<p>hahahaha i know.im just gunna have to come up with some stuff to keep my mind off the inevitable topic of acceptence//rejection letters coming my way on monday.</p>
<p>I'm probably gonna emerse myself in my Novel.
Simon (the main character) is gonna get SO SICK of having me in his hair all the time.
:)</p>
<p>hahaha i just keep playing the worst scenarios in my head about me getting rejected to all the schools.
....this part of the admissions is not fun...at alll</p>
<p>I know!
I think of all the letters being licked and stamped today, I wonder about every person who is getting a letter on monday. For every one accepted 5 will be rejected. I think about all the tears that will be shed, and wonder if any will be mine.
I think about the lickers and the stampers at these schools, do they care that 4/5 of all the letters their sending out will result in a crying child? Do these places, and the people inside them, care about all the work time and effort that went into applications? Do they care that 80% of that work will end in nothing but misery, sadnss and tears. Do they realise that they dangeld an ideal educatioal life-style in frount of THOUSANDS of kid's faces, only to snatch it away.</p>
<p>and will I be the one crying in the end? </p>
<p>sorry, I just needed to vent.</p>
<p>It must be difficult for the admissions committee. I wonder if there are sometimes bitter disagreements over applicants with one person dissenting and being upset with the rest.</p>
<p>That's a possibiity never considered.
Hmmmm.

<p>It's tough for them...they're not heartless, you know. They're actual people.</p>
<p>One of my houseparents works in admissions...she said that everyone on the committee usually has one kid that they just love and will do anything to convince the others to get them in. She also said that it's hard cause they're all just so cute, lol. I saw them carrying out a big box of envelopes today, it was the busiest day of the year for them. (though I doubt anyone on this forum applied to my school...).</p>
<p>which school?
'cause I applies to aome pretty small out-of-the-way schools.</p>
<p>the person who interviewed me at the school said she loved me and would do everything to get me into that school. plus, a faculty member wrote a letter of recommendation on my behalf and gave it to the lady who interviewed me to count as part of my application. do you think this is a good sign?</p>
<p>I can't wait until Monday. And I promised my dad that I'd wait until he came home to open the letters or look at the online decisions.</p>
<p>yes it is def a good sign maevey15, Ive seen similar situations almost always turn out well.</p>
<p> 1 day!!!! :D :D :D :D </p>
<p>AHHHHH!!!!!! I'm going crazy!!!</p>
<p>I think that I shall be in a straight jacket by tomorrow...
which will make it hard to open letters......</p>
<p>ha ha :D
good luck everybody!</p>
<p>i've set my hopes to be waitlisted,
and eventually get in.</p>
<p>i don't want to get my hopes up,
because of the chance that i
could be rejected. [shudder.]</p>
