<p>I bet half of the people reading this did so because they thought I had some secret information up my sleeve. Sorry, I don’t. But I’ve been thinking (this post actually goes somewhere, bear with me.)</p>
<p>It would be nice to find out about our little decisions, god knows I hate all my friends who will know by 5 PM today. But there is absolutely NO possibility that Harvard will release anything before their posted time. Think about it! Look at how frenetic some kids are here, and that is <em>with</em> a specific date posted. If Harvard lets out even the least bit of information this year, next year would be a disaster. For example, if Harvard we’re to finish up tonight and decide to send out e-mails tomorrow, 3 days early, kids next year might spend entire weeks out of school, refreshing their Hotmail screen for hours on end. </p>
<p>I’ll admit that if I had the least inkling decisions would come ot early, I would be one of those kids. But they won’t. I guess what I’m trying to say is that we should just enjoy this last weekend before we hear with what peace of mind we can keep. Good luck to everybody.</p>
<p>Enjoy? Ha, it's going to be stressful! I'll definitely be scrambling up to finish up applications, envelopes, and other college stuff which I will send out if Harvard doesn't work out. What does everyone else have planned this weekend?</p>
<p>oh god...this weekend's the worst this year...apps for two of my schools are due next week...haven't started...sem exams start monday...aaaaahhhh...must study!!!...and then the looming fear of the contents of THE email...</p>
<p>I'll be cranking out the last of my apps, cleaning my room, and going for looooong looooooooooooooooooooooong runs. Since I live in MA, these runs may very well be the death of me. But that's okay. The way I see it, and this is by no means the correct or only way, the decision is in their hands, and my anxiety won't change that. It's hard to keep that in mind, impossible at times actually, but in the end it's reassuring.</p>
<p>cramming for my ap physics C final on Friday. The last two months, nothign absorb, so I have to study 2 months worth of material and do psets in 2 days! Impossible? Possibly. Then I have an ap english lit essay to crank!</p>
<p>And stanford application. Just one more short answer!</p>
<p>It could be worse, y'all--I just calculated my grades in all my classes, and I pretty much have to get 100/set the curve on every one to make it out of them with decent grades.</p>
<p>I have succumbed to senioritis, as well... (I don't go to school. No, really. I DO NOT go to school. I must have at least 20 absences already.) LMFAO. This is nuts.</p>
<p>I'm going to go listen to Sufjan Stevens and drink some chamomile tea to calm down... I'm sure it wont work.</p>
<p>Haha, I don't go to school either! I take every opportunity to be absent...increasingly, I feel like going to school is a waste of my time--no matter how good of classes and teachers a person has, he/she is undoubtedly forced into some pointless downtime, sheerly because of how high school is structured.</p>
<p>Technically, I have enough absences to be dropped from all of my classes--fortunately, my teachers like me enough not to do that...but yeah, bad.</p>
<p>Modestmouse--definitely go for the tea; Tea is the only thing that's got me through the last four years of high school--I have three or four cups a morning and two or more every afternoon, no joke.</p>
<p>lol...i thought my 5 absences in latin were bad!i got an naming party for cousin, finals, stanford app...nothing catastrophic. i have resigned to getting rejected, so life is more easier...and seriously, how important are senior grades?</p>
<p>Depends on if you're deferred/accepted. If you're accepted, it won't matter AS much (just don't fail anything), but in some cases, I've heard that people were deferred partially because the college wanted to see their mid-year report, consistency in grades, etc.</p>
<p>To anyone who thinks that decisions might come out before five tomorrow, I've been thinking about that, too. They definitely will not EVER come out during office hours. As we can see from previous posts, people are already calling in to see what's happening and asking about their decisions. If this is what their phone lines are like before decisions, imagine after. With hundreds of kids gleeful and wanting to thank somebody--or hundreds more bitter and dejected--the admissions office would be smothered. Just wait and see I suppose. It's been at about a month and a half so far. One day shouldn't matter much. (I know it does matter. I got home and checked my e-mail first thing today just in case they decided to be early.) But despite my emotions, logically I don't think they'll be out any time soon.</p>
