<p>yeah they are. dont think about it though
like its better when it comes as a surprise cuz then you’re not counting down the days</p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
<p>I got into NYU today and was rejected from UChicago and, though painful, I realized yet again how much I love Barnard and I sat and cried. I am so worried that I won’t get in, and it is the only school that I applied to that really makes me want to attend it.</p>
<p>I want this to be over. I want my letter, whatever it is, and I want to move past the sting of rejection, as I’m afraid that’s what it is going to be.</p>
<p><em>laugh</em></p>
<p>College decisions bring out the pessimism in me.</p>
<p>Anyone else going a little loopy?</p>
<p>@wej</p>
<p>Congratz on NYU!
But I’m sorry about Chicago.
Keep your head up about Barnard, only a few more days. </p>
<p>The other day I had a panic attack during Lit and I completely broke down in front of everyone and ran out of the room. When I was in the bathroom trying to calm myself down, I realized even though something kind of insignificant triggered my attack, certain feelings have been building up and pressuring me, and this whole college thing is one of them. So yeah, you could say I’m going a little loopy and getting upset over this whole thing. I’m trying to be realistic without being pessimistic, although it’s hard. I just feel like… looking back on high school, it’s like… why couldn’t I have studied <em>a tad</em> harder for a few more tests, etc. I’m usually about no regrets, but I’ve never wanted anything more than I want to get into Barnard right now… <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>OMG, that is exactly it! I just wish I could have changed a few things, however small and insignificant. </p>
<p>I want/need this.</p>

<p>Where do you live? Thankfully I live 30 minutes away by train from NYC… I love being in the city. It inspires me so much. What’s your favorite thing about NYC?</p>

<p>I am currently talking to my friend right now about how this week is going to be the longest week of my life… and how no matter what comes in the envelope from Barnard, I’m going to end up crying. Spring Break is going to be so emotional for me! I just feel like I’ve worked so hard for something like this–it would be so amazing to see hard work pay off.</p>
<p>Five days! Not including today…</p>
<p>five days till they send the letter and at least a week or more before i see it in my mailbox. Sigh…you guys are right. This process is definitely stressing all of us out.</p>
<p>wej: congrats on NYU! at least now, you have the option of being in NYC :] That must be niceee, but i understand how you feel about Barnard. I hope good news land in your mailbox in a week<3</p>
<p>Everyone else too! I know statistically, its impossible to wish that everyone gets in, but i sincerely hope that everyone gets in. Everyone here seems to want to go really badly and I hope that the college can see that<3</p>

<p>I think what unites all of us is that we’re passionate about what we do, and that’s the first thing I could tell about any Barnard woman I’ve talked to on campus and off. I really hope they see how much we’ve put our hearts into Barnard and into our entire lives! </p>
<p>I really hope we all get in :]</p>
<p>I kind of wish Barnard posted their decision online at a certain time instead of saying they’ll mail it because mail gets to people at different times and it makes people so paranoid… at least it’s making me paranoid. I told my parents I’m the only one allowed to open the mailbox for the next two weeks :P</p>
<p>It would be so much better if decisions were posted online! Better for the environment and for our brains. I’ve told my dad to keep the mail from my mom and not to let her read or even see the mail until I get home, which won’t be until late anyway because I have to stay at school really late this week.</p>
<p>I agree it would be better to have the decisions e-mailed to you. But, as a parent, it kinda makes me sad that you guys are so freaked out by the idea that your parents might see the envelope before you do. On one level, I get it. On another, however, it seems a little silly to me particularly since we are talking about a very large, very distinct Express mail cardboard mailer that might not even fit inside your mailbox. So it may well be problematic for them to not “know” before you do. </p>
<p>It just does not make sense to me for any of you wonderful ladies to actually add some sort of stress to your parents and to you over this…Just relax!</p>
<p>9 days or so!</p>
<p>I can Really feel everyone’s pain right now…waiting is horrible
does anybody know when the international applicants are emailed?</p>
<p>Md12345: I got my email the day letters were sent out, just before the admissions office closed, which was about 5 PM New York time. 
</p>
<p>Good luck! Where do you live?</p>
<p>So I’m freaking out on the inside…especially given that decisions were mailed out today. Anybody wanna join me so I don’t have to hyperventilate alone? Haha</p>
<p>Oh I’ve been hyperventilating for about a week already. I’m PROBABLY going to receive my letter tomorrow seeing as how I live about 30 minutes from Barnard and they send express.
best wishes and I hope to meet you there next year, Godwilling :]</p>
<p>Ahhh I live in NJ, will I get something later today?! EEEK.</p>
<p>I live in California, so I probably won’t get anything until Saturday or Monday. I hope it comes before Monday, at least, because I’m going to be out of town for Passover after that. D: Good luck, though, everyone! I can’t believe it’s so close.</p>
<p>super super nervous. i’ll burst into tears at barnard’s letter, however the outcome might be.</p>
