<p>I’ve been reading through the sample admission letters and prepping myself for what I might read come thursday… If I get a letter that starts with “After thoughtful consideration” I’m going to be so dejected</p>
<p>Well, you need to keep reading after that. It could be a deferral or a rejection …</p>
<p>Hopefully we all get “Congratulations!”</p>
<p>@magentaturtle I concur</p>
<p>YES! Just got back from practice to see that the 6th was confirmed. That was all I could think about, hoping that we’d get decisions this week. I can only hope they’re good news for me</p>
<p>My worst nightmare is it starts with “Congratulations!” then says something like “You were one of the best candidates we reviewed, but we unfortunately cannot offer you a spot yet in the Class of 2017…” -___- someone would get hurt lol</p>
<p>have a friend read it for you, and you won’t have those worries!</p>
<p>No chance! I would never let a friend read it for me. How could I, or even you for that matter :P?</p>
<p>It’s the possible culmination of our hard work!</p>
<p>If I get deferred or denied, which is unfortunately too likely, I might lap into a depressed state. These last weeks, since I submitted my application, have wrecked my nerves.</p>
<p>Here’s a countdown for the given date. Good luck to all! :)</p>
<p>[Countdown</a> to Dec 6, 2012 4:00 PM in Concord](<a href=“Time since Dec 6, 2012 4:00 pm started in Concord, New Hampshire”>Time since Dec 6, 2012 4:00 pm started in Concord, New Hampshire)</p>
<p>Three days is such a short amount of time! Although I have a feeling it will go by so slow…</p>
<p>grayson, that’s how I feel.</p>
<p>I need this day to come now, and to come with good news :)</p>
<p>The 6th is confirmed?! omg what is life from now until thursday</p>
<p>Life is life, and no matter the decision, it’ll go on for all of us :D</p>
<p>Cirroalex… so easy to say now :P</p>
<p>I know, I know, but you know, I applied so I’d have no regrets, and if I don’t get in, I shouldn’t have any regrets, either</p>
<p>wow great attitude Cirroalex… I mean, that’s what I tell myself, but it’s so hard to really believe it.</p>
<p>I’ve waited for nearly 4 years for this moment. I can hold out just a few more days.</p>
<p>Haha, guess I wasn’t the only one bugging the admissions office lol.</p>
<p>I know it’s going to be difficult, but I’ll try and have a positive mindset no matter what the results are. The admissions office has probably, as they point out themselves, considered our applications thoughtfully, perhaps for several times. On my part, I’ve tried to the best of my knowledge to put together a satisfactory application. I’ve taken the tests, participated in my favorite activities, spent days and days on writing the application essay that would best express myself, and these days, prayed every moment that I’d get in. I know that I’ve done all I could, and that things are no longer in my hand. If I get in, YES, that would be one of the best moments in my life, but if I don’t, then hey, I just might get into a better fit school. Of course I’ll be disappointed. But I’ll know that I tried my best, and that it was worth a shot.</p>
<p>We could’ve all applied to less competitive schools. But we applied to Dartmouth because we knew we could push ourselves further, and because we knew we would regret it forever if we never even tried. Let’s just hope our try was worth it :)</p>
<p>That was beautiful careld.</p>
<p>The try will always be worth it, careld; we will never regret it forever.</p>
