DON’T BE A JERK on March-10 boarding schools decision day

<p>@chemmchimney @london203 I’m a fan of Starigrl too! The sequel was disappointing.</p>

<p>Oh, you meant me? :smiley: Thanks, guys!</p>

<p>Do you think it’d be okay to start a BS Class of 2018 thread before April 10? If people follow directions, it would get rid of lots of random threads. Thoughts?</p>

<p>I would think a simple thread listing: “accepted (school name)/denied (school name)/waitlisted (school name)” would be OK… but I will think on it some more. I found that kind of thread easier to read than posts where people posted more lengthy joy/panic/confusion… but that is just me…</p>

<p>I am totally open to correction… just thinking out loud based on things I have read over the past 2 years…</p>

<p>EDIT - after reading below. I agree with SevenDad. </p>

<p>@stargirl: I think you’ll find that some folks might want to play their matriculation decisions closer to the vest…especially pre-A10. After A10, that’s when the “class of 2018” and school specific threads start popping up. I say watch and see what develops…give it at least a week or two post M10…and optimally AFTER revisit days.</p>

<p>The thread wouldn’t have to be about matriculation, just little questions that don’t deserve their own threads (how are you decorating your room?). I’d put it in the Cafe.</p>

<p>@stargirl That’s a really nice idea. </p>

<p>I’ll put it up on Monday or Tuesday to keep the other threads from coming in!</p>

<p>Does anyone else feel like puking 24/7 out of nervousness?</p>

<p>@usernamess No, I feel like eating!</p>

<p>^^ +100000000</p>

<p>I’m more of the punch the wall or buy a huge gift for myself person. Extremes. </p>

<p>@usernames YES. I already have anxiety so this isn’t helping. </p>

<p>I’m with @usernamess, puking is the way to go.</p>

<p>I feel sick to my stomach when I think of it, but I’m not a puking person.</p>

<p>Can you believe it’s only four days?
It’s like senioritis except this is like cruel and unusual torturitis.</p>

<p>And the best part about it…We get to do it all over again in four years. Yay!</p>

<p>I will certainly say that I will post what happened here on CC. But if there’s a rejection I’ll also say that I probably won’t be coming back after that post. You will most likely find me watching TV and eating icecream.</p>

<p>@prepschoolhopes Oh wow, we have to do this AGAIN in four years. I can imagine the even worse pain and agony I will go through while waiting. I’m already strangling and screaming and wishing that time could come faster!</p>

<p>I’m certainly anticipating M10. I don’t know what to expect, really. It’s either going to be the zenith of my life or my darkest moment. I’m just hoping that I get accepted to at least one of the schools I’m applying to…</p>

<p>On M10, please also spare us the “should I pick Andover or Exeter” threads. That’s what Revisit Days are for. </p>

<p>Yeah, don’t do that. That makes a lot of people feel bad.</p>

<p>I really don’t know what to expect either.</p>
