Decisions on March 9?

<p>^^ Wow. I would tell someone in charge about that. He deserves to be fired.</p>

<p>it was all sent yesterday. I’m emailing all of my schools now to let them know. I’m supposed to hear back in about two weeks from most of them though. Hopefully they’ll get it by then and accept it.</p>

<p>^^^^
You need to go the admin at your school and get them involved. I think they should call at the least!</p>

<p>That really sucks, what a irresponsible counselor</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes. Your school should contact the regional reps for your colleges.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. I definitely will. It’d be ridiculous if I didn’t get in anywhere because of this. -__-</p>

<p>Btw, congrats to everyone who go accepted! :)</p>

<p>I just realized, I was wearing my WUSTL shirt when I got waitlisted. Even stranger, I was wearing a long-sleeve shirt over it that had Yale’s colors on it. Poetic maybe? Haha I hope so.</p>

<p>So much orange in the results thread. I say it’s crueler than rejection.</p>

<p>What time did people get emails notifying them of the decision available online? I heard they were early this time (not the day after, as the ED’ers reported)?</p>

<p>I got the email around noon.</p>

<p>nne718- Agreed! Ahhh. :frowning: I only applied to four reach type schools… WashU, UChicago, Rice (first choice…) and Yale. I’m kind of nervous about getting into the others, now…</p>

<p>^^Mine was a little before 1 PM. So it was right around the actual release of decisions.</p>

<p>Mine was at exactly 1:00pm.</p>

<p>Emails at 1 PM in what time zone? EST? So noon WUSTL time? Just want to make note for next year’s anxiously waiting group!</p>

<p>how will it in any way help next year’s anxiously waiting group? I think the March 9th thread showed how little “patterns” really matter in this process ;)</p>

<p>My email came at 12:55 EST</p>

<p>^Yes, 12:55 EST, but it’s not the email that matters, we have CC to tell us when decisions are out.</p>

<p>Mine was at exactly 1:00 EST. I think what we need to remember though is not all emails travel at the same “speed.” I know that sounds stupid, but one time my friend sent me something at night that I needed the next morning. It didn’t go through, so he sent it again and it came to me instantly. I checked my email at around 5 p.m. the next day and the email had arrived that afternoon and it had been sent the night before. Trying to discover patterns on CC is kind of stupid, especially since it gets kids nervous for no reason. While it has been informative, CC has made a lot of this year miserable because I’ve spent time freaking out over emails, likely letters that I didn’t get, super over-achieving applicants, etc…</p>

<p>JUST RELAX! We’re all great applicants and we’ll all do well wherever we go. Our “safeties” are reaches to at least 70-80% of the country. Be proud of your achievements :). You don’t need a college admissions office to tell you that!</p>

<p>rainbow rose, good point about the safeties</p>

<p>Thanks :). Sorry for the rant but I’ve literally cried when I had to wake up in the morning some days because I was afraid of my (what I thought was…) imminent rejection and I thought that all of the hard work I put into HS would be “wasted” (but really… how can being educated, even if you had to harder at it, be a waste?). I know many people are going to say because I got into WashU, I will probably get rejected from HYP, but I’m okay with that. WashU is a COMPLETELY different school from HYP, with a very chillax midwest environment whereas HYP is in a more competitive environment. I don’t think WashU necessarily waitlists kids who get into HYP because they simply think those kids will pick HYP. I think it’s more that the kids who are accepted would do better in an environment like WashU whereas those accepted to HYP are those who would do better there and would hence pick HYP. One’s not better than the other (although HYP is indubitably more prestigious); both will give marvelous educations to those who fit in.</p>

<p>and that was an even longer rant LOL i need to stop writing novels on here</p>
