24 hours people!
Half of me is so hopeful while the other half wants me to accept the unlikely hood that I would get in and move on. I never gave my stats but I have below the average GPA of admitted applicants (3.7 unweighted) that I thought might be evened out by my heavy course load. I love Dartmouth so much and was so excited about their support of Native Americans and the Native American Community Program, but now I’m just nervous.
@Nereida417 hey, if you put your best foot forward and tried your hardest throughout the better part of high school, that’s all you can ask of yourself. A friend told me that a few days ago when I was freaking out and it really helped
@sbux>mostthings You’re right. I suppose what ever may happen will happen for a reason.
How much do you guys think essays matter?
harvard decision in 16 minutes! some of my friends applied. and tomorrow is us. It’s getting so real.
@airbubble415 a lot
Well, it is unlikely I will get in imo, when I think about it. 2nd semester of Junior year just blew. Mother visited her mother in Palestine during the 3rd infitada throughout the whole semester. Really bites, but the stress is one that could kill. She got back safely, but the city she was in went under fire a day later. My counselor explained the situation in her recommendation, so at least that should help, right?
@GiddyHiddy if you have a reasonable explanation (which you do) they can’t count it against you.
@amandanee1 True, but when I went for NHS president, my competition was the valedictorian. There was no campaign, just a few days prep time, and all you needed was to get voted in by your peers. That was a fun experience. I wrote a good speech, and people really digged it. They didn’t want to show the votes tallied because that would have hurt the other persons feelings, but they didn’t finish the pile counting the votes, so I must have won by a large margin. I am head in one other activity, an economics club. It is fun, and after I reworked the club for the past few years, we expanded from three to fifteen permanent members! We reliably go to state every year, and broke some records.
@jkennyy Well, that’s good. I do not want to regret anything when/if I do not get in.
Every time I look at the clock I hope that it’s magically later than I thought and I’m a couple hours closer to decision time. This will be the longest 22 hours of my life
@Erikj28 I’m 18 and should be getting a tattoo soon and I’m getting a few piercings (I’m redoing my nose and doing my belly)
@jkennyy they admitted kids through Questbridge already
Lol, never knew about Questrbridge until now, wish I had the chance to apply.
I have a track workout tomorrow after school which will probably end around 4, so luckily I won’t be killing myself in anticipation sitting in front of my computer waiting anxiously for 4pm, but killing myself on the track in frigid weather.
What are u guys doing for the hours leading up to decision date? Waiting in front of the computer frantically hitting refresh, or distracting urself with some other activity?? idk which is better
Haha I’ll have track too but it starts around 4 so I’m checking my application status before…we’ll see if I want to go to track after that lolol @ihopeigetin1152
Anyone here from NY? :)>-
@ihopeigetin1152 I also have a track workout that’ll end right around 4, I probably won’t be too into the workout tomorrow though.
NY here too
Is it true that the college counselors find out about results before we do? My counselor met me in the hallway today and told me to start busting out some more essays for my other schools (deferral/rejection 
…). Its also a school rumor that she finds out before us. Anyone know if this is true?
