<p>Tick tock tick tock…</p>
<p>Also… this is my 100th post!</p>
<p>Good luck to all of us, definitely. I keep reflecting on the collective accomplishments of this group…we’ve all done so much. Whatever happens happens, am I right?</p>
<p>I’m sooo freaking nervous! I go through phrases where I am like “Okay, you got this. Why would they reject me!?” and then I have to come back down to earth and tell myself “why the hell would they accept me?!?”</p>
<p>ahhhh bring yourself down, WilliamAndMary.
I’m taking a pessimistic approach to things. It’s going to help if i get rejected or if I get accepted 8D</p>
<p>I WANT TO GET ACCEPTED SO BADDDDDLLLLLYYYYY. I’m having the worst mood swings, one minute I’ll be happy and thinking that I have the chance, and the next I’ll become super depressed and can’t focus on finals studying… UGH. I’m preparing myself for rejection but if I really do get rejected it’s going to be horrible bucking up and finishing my supplements…</p>
<p>I think the worst part for me will be the fact that I told so many people that I’m applying… and everyone will want to know if I got in or not… and I don’t… I’ll have to keep telling people and it will suck.</p>
<p>how are you guys passing the time?! i need some ideas! i’ve just been staring at the “2 days 20 hours” on the countdown app on my dashboard -__-</p>
<p>also, who else applied to pratt?</p>
<p>Me, I applied to Pratt.! :)</p>
<p>I just ate the whole weekend out of anxiety. :3</p>
<p>Before I started this whole college process, I told myself I wouldn’t “fall in love” with a college because that is setting yourself up for disappointment.
but the thing is with ED you have to.
And that is why life sucks…</p>
<p>I’m so glad that I’ve been keeping myself busy for the last week. I had a 2 day debate tournament which ate up a lot of time, and required me to focus on something else. Plus I made it to semis (paired against another team from my school, that we let go to finals) in the next division up since this is mine and my partner’s first year. 
Then decorated and did stuff like hw. Really don’t know how to get through Mon-Wed though. My activities are on holiday, and we don’t have finals until after break. I need something else to occupy my mind. Plus I keep telling myself I won’t get it, so I’m not devastated, but there’s always that what if?</p>
<p>Pratt right herrree
Ah less than 3 days! So crazy.</p>
<p>PRATTPRATTPRATT!!!<3</p>
<p>I literally will die of happiness if I get accepted.</p>
<p>I literally will die of passionate mourning if I get rejected.</p>
<p>Duke has been my childhood dream school and I have basically worked my whole entire life for 6pm on Wednesday. Oh dang, that sounds so dramatic! LOL.</p>
<p>EL PRATTO.
who are your guys’ regional admissions officer for Duke? I’m from California so mine’s Andrew Carpenter (best admissions officer EVER.)</p>
<p>Mine is Ben Adams '08… i got to meet him a couple times, pretty cool guy. Of course whether or not he is the “best admissions officer EVER” depends on if I get in or not, because he plays a major role in that…</p>
<p>o.O When do you guys get to talk to your regional admissions counselor? I’ve only met mine once at a college fair…</p>
<p>It’s fine to email them directly with questions.</p>
<p>With 11 UPenn, 2 Columbia, 2 Cornell, 2 Stanford, 4 Northwestern acceptees from my school it is hard not to be anxious just to get in somewhere. Good luck to everyone! But not too much good luck- it’s nothing personal, I just want to get in 
Any of you guys apply for Robertsons?</p>
<p>So how and when do you find out who your admissions officer is . I have probably seen mine at our school and my parents met her at another fair , but are you supposed to get to know them personally ? This person was just generally answering questions and didn’t seem like she was going to remember anyone . An getting concerned now that I didn’t try to get to know her , don’t even remember her name , damn.</p>
<p>I’m fully expecting a rejection. I just hope they don’t defer me, that would be heart-breaking!</p>
<p>Where is the official result thread? Do we have one?</p>
<p>@sleepdeficit
there is an official result thread! It’s floating around somewhere in the forum.
When Sam Carpenter visited our school, he presented by far the most memorable and interesting info session. He’s a pretty funny guy.
Later on, I emailed him and he responded:
“yes, you are right. as the website sez:”
SEZ.</p>
<p>SEZ.
SEZ.
This guy is incredibly cool</p>
