ED 1 *OFFICIAL* thread

<p>No they admitted around 260 EDI not including the 13 from questbridge.</p>

<p>“For both Early Decision I and Spring Transfer applicants the on-line decision notification page will be available late in the afternoon on Friday, December 14th through Thursday, December 20th at 5:00 pm EST.”</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>This page is so not healthy.</p>

<p>Is it bad that I didnt get a financial aid call? Lol…</p>

<p>Mine were formality because I think some things were missing, I’m sure every things in order for u guys… I hope this doesn’t interfere for my admissions</p>

<p>How late do you guys think “late” afternoon is?</p>

<p>I got the email on my iPhone, and the part that said “late afternoon on Friday December 14” was hyperlinked to add to my calendar and the time was 3pm</p>

<p>^I sure hope that means it’s at 3! What time do you guys get out of school?</p>

<p>I’ve got the whole Friday evening planed out. I get back from tennis practice at 7pm. I’m going to order a ton of “happy” food; Chinese sounds good. My mom will be there with me. I will be on Skype with my dad who is in Uganda right now and my sister who is in New York. After I receive the news from Wesleyan (whatever their decision is), I’m going out with some of the lads. Either, we’ll drink in celebration, or we’ll drink to cheer me up. What are your plans?</p>

<p>Yup life would you mine saying what you were missing or skmetbing? If not its fine,I’m paranoid I didn’t get one haha…</p>

<p>I am going to eat pizza whatever happens. Because pizza is both a happy and a sad food. I will also probably drown my sorrows in old episodes of 30 rock or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.</p>

<p>Why can’t they just tell us a time! I will probably speed home after school to check at 3, then either celebrate or sulk the rest of the night.</p>

<p>@purplespysnail you sound like you have a tumblr.</p>

<p>Hahahaha there is a distinct possibility that I do hahaha.</p>

<p>Hey guys! I’m also applying early decision to Wesleyan, and I just wanted to wish everyone good luck! :slight_smile: I wrote this sonnet today in class and felt the need to share it with you all (sorry it’s not amazing… I’m going to be a math major haha). It’s now less than two days before we know! </p>

<p>I once heard a tale of a man so brave,
Who paced back and forth in an anxious way,
Hoping and praying the doctors will save
His newborn son; “complications,” they say.
I once read a story of two hopeful boys,
Who wait under the tree, hidden from sight,
Dreaming of games, clothes, candy, and toys,
With unfaltering grins, on Christmas night.
I am the eager boys and the impatient man,
The gambler who prays that he draws a two,
The stomach that growls with food in the pan,
The groom waiting for his bride to say “I do.”
But what can we do but sit and wait
For someone else to decide our fate?</p>

<p>Those last two lines are so incredibly relevant right now. its beautiful though! Maybe everyone should share a poem or a quote or something and then we can all distract each other from endlessly staring at the countdown.</p>

<p>That sounds like a great idea. I’ve really just been staring at the clock for the past week or so… At least I live on the west coast, so late afternoon on Friday means lunchtime for me.</p>

<p>here is one from my favorite novel, i think it is relevant. </p>

<p>“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places.”</p>

<p>Irun15, me too, me too. the notification comes out during my physics final.</p>

<p>“Five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody cares.” -Jack Kevorkian</p>

<p>“I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday, and lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.”
