<p>I know, it’s terrible. I have lost all motivation to do ANYTHING. My parents are giving me hell for it.</p>
<p>im not trying to do that at all, i just wanted feedback from people and their thoughts…</p>
<p>Let’s not argue over Stats 
it’s too late now. what will happen will happen.</p>
<p>Please obtain feedback in a chance me forum or a separate thread.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>@emilymh1993…everyone is speculating that it will be either the 9th,10th,13th, or 14th…and 32 is middle 50% so its obviously a solid score.</p>

<p>relax there bud… we’re all on the same boat here, no one knows the inner thoughts of the admissions people so no one can really judge (or “chance”) anyone else… so my mistake for asking the thread…</p>
<p>anyway, lets hope we only have to wait 3 more days</p>
<p>Ok, we have 10 days left (max) until decisions come out. I know everyone is freaking out, but there’s really no point in posting stats for chancing, it’s really just causing hostility and an increase in nerves (which I think we all have enough of already). We’re all in the same boat now. </p>
<p>Let’s get back to what this thread is meant to be. </p>
<p>A dance party! <(^<em>^<) (>^</em>^)> <(^<em>^)> <(^</em>^<)</p>
<p>Ahhhh, finally found it.</p>

<p>well put, ur username really suits that last comment lol</p>

<p>Yeah dude, I think that EDing anywhere speeds up the process of senioritis considerably. I have gone from doing an average of 4 hours of homework a night to <30 minutes and doing the rest in class the next day. Also the B’s that used to be worse than death to me seem alot more friendly (although I still have straight A’s at the moment, somehow). I can’t even imagine how lazy I’ll get if I’m accepted…</p>
<p>I really, really hope we hear this week. I don’t think I can go through another weekend of waiting!</p>
<p>Hey if any of you are feeling way overstressed, take a deep breath! Go outside, take a little walk. Then proceed to DISTRACT YOURSELF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!! </p>
<p>That’s what I’m doing all the time! xD…except for the moments when I come on this forum. >_<</p>
<p>Is there anyone who didn’t submit the optional essay?</p>
<p>@Bobalina
Which are most moments per day. :]</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve been listening to music a lot. It’s one of the only things that actually calms me down. [YouTube</a> - Jack Johnson - No Other Way](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube) particularly helps when I’m having difficulty getting to sleep due to nerves (which is pretty much every night at this point).</p>
<p>I know I definitely submitted the optional essay.
Did you not?</p>
<p>I didn’t submit that essay… which makes me feel awful.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, the admissions process is truly holistic. If the other parts of your application stand out, not having the extra essay won’t hurt. You applied ED, so they already know you are devoted to Duke! But I understand your worry, we’re all freaking out right now! Personally, I’m trying to calm my nerves by looking forward to Christmas! Christmas songs are particularly helpful :)</p>
<p>thanks hgblue! that comforts me a lot… ahhh the decision!!!</p>
<p>I know!!! I will not be able to relax in school this week; I’m going to be constantly checking my phone to see if Duke sent out the email!</p>
<p>I’m thinking I should sacrifice a goat and send it to the admissions gods to please them so they will send out the emails telling us when our respective fates are decided. These past few days have dragged on incredibly slowly.</p>
