Early Decision I - Class of 2014

<p>ahhh! </p>

<p>less than 24 hours (around 23 to be exact). I’ve been reading these boards for months and never posted (didn’t want to jinx things? idk lol)</p>

<p>I am going to get deferred or rejected. i don’t want to even think that there’s a chance i’ll get in because i’m too scared to lol.</p>

<p>Whatever happens, happens.</p>

<p>If i get rejected, I’m going to Bard. </p>

<p>Bard. The poor man’s Wesleyan. :)</p>

<p>Good luck guys!!
I’m so excited for all of you.
I recently applied EDII (it’s a long story) and I am so pumped about Wes! I only wish I could learn my admissions decision tomorrow instead of 2/15. </p>

<p>Anyhow – I hope you all get in (and me too!) and we can all hang out at Wes next year.</p>

<p>Good luck! and breathe!</p>

<p>I’m from Florida. Do you think that’s good in terms of geographic distribution?</p>

<p>I don’t live in Miami or Palm Beach or any of those areas. I’m from a tiny, dinky little town on the West Coast. Still, I bet there are a bunch of people from South Florida who apply to Wes and I would guess that they look at all of Florida in the same pool.</p>

<p>That’s a good idea, flypaper. Maybe I’ll go there this weekend if I get in. I only bought two pens and a notebook and my guidance counselor gave me a planner from a conference she went to that was there. I wanted a shirt or a hoodie but I didn’t want to go overboard lol. And I’ve checked the link once or twice a day, not gonna lie.</p>

<p>Aw, eloiseee! Don’t say you’ll be deferred or rejected! I had the same feeling at first, but then I let myself think that maybe I’ll just get in and I felt even more excited lol. I do think I’ll be deferred… Or at least I hope I get deferred, if not just admitted.</p>

<p>Thanks for the good luck, sciencegal! And I hope we all get in, too.</p>

<p>I can’t believe tomorrow is almost here. Hopefully we can relax very soon!</p>

<p>I do think being from Florida will help you and all Florida apps are counted as just that, I believe. I used to live there, actually. I’ve been moving back and forth since the fourth grade lol. The weather there is so much better. I miss it so much.</p>

<p>I actually don’t have any college stuff. Besides a haverford t shirt but I have no idea where that came from.</p>

<p>…tomorrow, in case you were wondering.
I just took a 4 hour nap to avoid thinking about it.</p>

<p>OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.</p>

<p>i think i am going to pee my pants.</p>

<p>I can’t taaaaake it.</p>

<p>I have liked wesleyan since the very moment i stepped on the campus for the first time in october of my junior year. There was this little shift, this internal click, this motion, that prompted a silent response from my brain, completely and totally involuntary. </p>

<p>“This is it.”</p>

<p>There are the moments when you truly do think that there’s a twinge of destiny in the air (or something like it), or maybe it’s fate that pinches you on the nose and says, “Wow this could really be the place.”</p>

<p>Maybe it was the fact that the sun was shining, and the girl touring me wore a knit hat in the shape of a panda head (I quite liked that). She smiled and said her name was Kate, and that Wes was a pretty special place.</p>

<p>Pretty special.</p>

<p>But, hey, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll find somewhere else.</p>

<p>eloiseee… i also might go to bard if i don’t get in to wes! i’m still applying to other schools, but i got in through idp and it’s up there on my list… did you as well? </p>

<p>really i just want to go to wes though!! as i’m sure you all agree… it just has that feeling. that perfect feeling that you can’t explain, want to feel, but just have to (at least to apply early). i just have this terrible feeling though. i almost don’t want tomorrow to come, 'cause if i don’t get in… that’s it. at least now there i hope. but of course i really just want to know!!! can’t stand this!!!</p>

<p>there is no way i’m gonna sleep tonight. i will probably be up at 3 without starting to write the 2 essays that i have to hand in tomorrow. urghhhh. are you all hanging in there?</p>

<p>Uhm… nice story? Haha, I can’t believe it’s so soon.</p>

<p>Are you guys going to post your results tomorrow? I will post my D’s results if you will post yours!</p>

<p>Again, good luck everyone! Thanks for helping us through these last few days.</p>

<p>I hope you have your daughter’s permission to do this. :D</p>

<p>I’ll definitely post if I get in. If not, well…</p>

<p>If I’m not an emotional wreck, I’ll post haha.
I’m anticipating a deferral at this point, I’m just praying it’s not a rejection.
Hahahah, I applied to Bard as well.
We should all tryyy to get some sleep… are you all finding out alone? I may have a friend accompany me, I don’t think I can handle it by myself.</p>

<p>just want to wish everyone luck!</p>

<p>as someone who went through this myself a few years ago (before Wes did electronic notification… it came on Dec. 15th in the mail!) I know the last few days are nerve-wracking… not much longer now</p>

<p>smartalic34: you love Wesleyan, right? (haha sorry, last minute nerves)</p>

<p>hooooly crap, ~14 hours. at least I know that there are people out there who are as nervous as I am :P</p>

<p>i want 3pm to come soooo badly, but then again i don’t… if i don’t get in it will just all be over and i really don’t want that to happen. i have a gut feeling that says i will get deferred. ahhh sooo nervous. anyone know the % of ed’ers admitted to wes? also, i know ed applicants went up 40% last year, does anyone know what happened this year?</p>

<p>It went up another 10% this year. :frowning:
Same gut feeling, I suppose it’s natural; it’s hard to be confident with a school like Wes, but rejection would just be too upsetting to think about.
Yeah, it’s almost sad that this is all over.
Ehhh, contemplating missing some school tomorrow morning, I haven’t done my hw and everyone’s just going to be talking about college. Ugh.</p>

<p>3:00 can’t come soon enough.</p>

<p>flipgirl 321: yes I do. don’t regret doing ED for a minute. </p>

<p>idontknow92: last year the ED acceptance rate was somewhere between 40-50%. it usually held around 50%, and last year fell more towards 40%, and I’d guess that it will be around 40% this year due to the increase in apps again. note that Wes is shooting for a class of 745, not the usual 715, so that will help a bit (745 was target last year as well and will be for another 2 years)</p>
