<p>i got rejected SCEA for stanford....so i doubt I have much chance at yale RD...but I did imporve my essays/ I got a really good aditional rec....plus the stanford application had alot of abstract questions that i was not very good at answering (about 20 of them)</p>
<p>so I hope i get in but strongly doubt it.</p>
<p>sxchanspaint, phew. That was a miserable few hours of waiting. :)</p>
<p>only 7 days remaining but feels like 7 years remaining.</p>
<p>I've been reading my applications again, and I'm just hating everything. I used to love my essays, and now I think I did everything wrong and that there's no way in hell they let me in. Maybe is the Chicago rejection messing with my head. Maybe I'm finally seeing things clearly. I just wished it's over already, for better or worse.</p>
<p>ahahha you too, pommery? I know what you went through, good luck in a few days. :]</p>
<p>It's almost here!</p>
<p>i can't believe this...after all the waiting on december 14, i have to relive that day ALL OVER again...aaaah!</p>
<p>Well since i'm on the west coast I'll get mine during school so I can't/won't check it there. Then I think I have to work for two hours. I can't decide whether or not it is worth not working for two hours in order to rush home and check. Either way i'll be a total wreck that whole day.</p>
<p>What is that "QB" you were talking about?</p>
<p>QB: Quest Bridge; it's a program for students that have a lower income.</p>

<p>Ugh same here. When I was writing it and submitting it, I felt like a genius, the best author of an essay ever. Now I see randomn things and think "God, why didn't I see that blinding error?" In another college app I think I used two exclamation points in one paragraph, which set off a minor panic attack. So lame.</p>
<p>Oh, and I kind of did the "Yale Mix CD" thing but not really. I made 3 playlists - Happy, Sad, and Angry, so, based on whether I get in or not (to any school), and how I feel, I can go straight to my iPod without worrying about some upbeat pop song or heavy rock song blaring out of my speakers randomnly.</p>
<p>pamplemousse25, I saw two grammar errors in my Brown essay and freaked out completely. Now, I'm completely sure I won't get in there. I'll be so grateful if Yale even puts me on the waiting list that I think I'll cry.</p>
<p>pamplemousse25, that is a BRILLIANT idea!</p>
<p>I'm unfamiliar with the whole logging onto a site for admissions thing. How does it work? Is there any way to know the decision is posted without seeing the decision? Or as soon as you log on does it let you know?</p>
<p>Aw Thais. Yeah, you review and re-read your essays until you've practically memorized them, they look perfect, you press send. Two months later, all these glaring, obvious errors sure to deter any admissions officer from wanting you. It's especially bad because I want to be an English major so my writing has to be good, at least promising.</p>
<p>And thanks. I find it's effective!</p>
<p>I only found 1 error that bugged me, but it was minor, more of an awkward sentance thing than a grammar issue. Still, I hate my essays now. When I wrote them I thought, these are fantastic, I love them. Then I edited them, gave them to teachers, parents, counselors, reedited, and now I think I edited the soul straight out of it, and all my essays are now are a bunch of empty words.</p>
<p>Gah. Guess we'll see in, 4 days 10 hours and 42 minutes</p>
<p>IS a bunch of empty words.</p>
<p>Gahhhhhhhhh so screwed.</p>
<p>Exactly pamplemouse. I don't know how it happened. It wasn't big though. I don't remember one right now, but the other was like, I wrote make, when it was supposed to be makes. Something like that. Enough for me to freak. </p>
<p>munchkin3590, I bet it's not a bunch of empty words. I feel like this about my essays too. I know I said somethings meaningful when I wrote it, or at least tried to, but now I just don't feel it anymore. I don't feel any passion for my words, and I can't feel moved by them. I don't know why, but since I wrote about some very personal things, I have to believe that they are not empty.</p>
<p>There are 4 days, 7 hours, 48 minutes and 44 seconds until Monday, March 31, 2008 at 5:00:00 PM (New Haven time)</p>
<p>OKAY GUYS! we have just 3 days!!! enjoy this weekend</p>
