<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I submitted my application about a week ago.
Right now, I can't imagine attending any other school besides Harvard.
I feel like despite my shortcomings I have a chance of getting in, for some reason (I don't know why).
But I am also scared that on Dec.15, I would feel very very disappointed if I get rejected...
I'm just very anxious...
Is this a common symtom, or is it just me?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any response.</p>
<p>Do what I did: pressed submit, and considered myself rejected and moving on with my life.</p>
<p>^^^ Exactly.</p>
<p>Indiagirl, are you international? Please understand that makes it very difficult off the bat.</p>
<p>Regardless if you’re attached now or not, that will turn into a realization that Harvard is just another college, at it’s core, and that there are plenty of things you may not of liked about it (such as the party scene, small campus, VERY difficult academics, lack of Big 10 sports teams, one big game a year, sleeping in libraries and not your dorm, etc.)</p>
<p>Let me just put it this way.</p>
<p>If I find out I get in, I’ll either 1) scream or 2) faint. (Or even a combination of both.)</p>
<p>Bad idea to be attached to a school even more after clicking “submit”.</p>
<p>I have accepted the fact that’s I’m rejected; if I get in I’ll be ecstatic. Actually, roving this forum is really the only thing that betrays the fact that I think I have a shot.</p>
<p>This question has actually been a big one in my life as of late. I got a full-tuition scholarship (ROTC) attached to Harvard in early October, and the local military presence has publicized it big-time. Naturally, the byline tends to read ‘LOCAL STUDENT GOING TO HARVARD’. I wince every time. ><em>< NOT IN YET, PEOPLE! Hahah.
I don’t want to get so fixated on my first-choice school, but it would be so convenient if I didn’t have to transfer the scholarship from the Cambridge detachment to someplace else… ;</em>_;</p>
