ED Applicants - Class of 2015

<p>just reading these threads freaks me out!!7 classmates got into Cornell yesterday, just hope we have that much of luck!!! hope every one here good luck!</p>

<p>Good luck!! from a Penn ED acceptee :)</p>

<p>I’ve already prepared myself for deferral/rejection :slight_smile: I FINALLY finished up my list tonight and I have a lot of schools that I would be happy going to and my list is reasonable (4 schools have no/very little supplement, 2 of them are only “why here?” leaving only 3 lengthy applications).</p>

<p>It seems like this year the results are really harsh… More people are getting rejected right off, rather than deferred. And all the school around mine, including mine, have really low acceptances this year. I’m getting very anxious sigh :(</p>

<p>Well good luck to everyone, once again!
I’m about to spend my whole saturday finishing my other supplements.</p>

<p>I’ve been telling myself I’ll get deferred for the past two weeks but I usually have dreams that I’m accepted… Last night I had my first rejection dream :(( it hurt so much. I’m so scared for results. I can’t focus on anything at all and I think I want this more than is healthy. But at the end of the day, they could be just fine without me.</p>

<p>@rainbowrose yeah it’s genetics. good luck on viruses! I think that was 18 or 19.</p>

<p>@powerbomb congrats!!</p>

<p>@coutingsheep, it was actually only on part of 18. It was on operons and then all of chapter 19 (gene regulation, oncogenes, gene families, etc…).</p>

<h1>246</h1>

<p>The image of a jolly green giant taking a bath or going for a furious run down my neighborhood is just too hilarious XD</p>

<p>ackk I’m having second thoughts about Brown… maybe it’s because I know I’m not getting in :(</p>

<p>second thoughts, like, you don’t want to go…?</p>

<p>@potterpie, yea…</p>

<p>well i hope you want to go if you get in… :frowning:
otherwise many of us would be sad to see someone who doesn’t want to be there take a spot. :confused: </p>

<p>try not to think about it, maybe? you applied ED for a reason :slight_smile: i’m trying not to think about it until monday night, lol.</p>

<p>I think it’s mostly my trying to prepare myself for a deferral or rejection. Before, I had no second thoughts whatsoever and almost cried at just the sheer thought of not getting in. Then Friday night I started working on other apps and started having second thoughts. Even though I really haven’t found a school I like better… just… I don’t know >.<. I’m a teenager and I’m moody lol.</p>

<p>I think there’s also something about the Ivy League that’s starting to turn me off a bit in general. I don’t know. </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that if the school isn’t right for me, I won’t get in. I’d like the admissions officers to decide because I’m just sort of confused and don’t know what I want. I do know, however, that Brown is probably the best school in the country in terms of letting you explore your options. If I were to make a pros and cons list of Brown, I really would have absolutely NO cons (except maybe the food haha but it’s not even terrible or anything). I don’t know where these negative thoughts are coming from other than me attempting to lessen the blow of deferral/rejection.</p>

<p>mmhm… when i realized that the majority of us will be deferred, i was mad at brown.
when my friends got into Jerome Fisher at UPenn and Stanford, though, I remembered how happy I’ll feel if I get into brown. it’s very hard–i keep oscillating between ‘shut up, stop thinking about it and study for finals because you’ll be deferred or rejected’ and ‘yay i’m so happy i’m going to get into my dream school just like my friends’ </p>

<p>Just keep in mind that if we have the guts to put everything we have into an ED application to a school as wonderful as Brown, we will end up happily adapting wherever we end up. at graduation we’ll be thinking about how happy we will be to go to college, no matter where it may be. If brown doesn’t have spots for us, we’ll make our way in somewhere else that wants us and one day we’ll forget all about how we loved brown first semester of senior year in high school and focus on the present, where we’ll actually be in a year.</p>

<p>just try to keep pushing through. if you don’t have finals to study for, do fun things. :)</p>

<p>Is an official thread with results going to be started?</p>

<p>@rainbowrose: I think that you’re just getting excited about other schools, which is perfectly fine! We can’t all count on 1 school, right? When I have gone over my essays for other schools, I feel excited about going there and picturing myself on their campus. It’s natural, don’t worry :)</p>

<p>Thanks, big dreamer. I’m getting kind of excited about Williams, although I’m afraid to because I’ve never actually visited.</p>

<p>I also really liked their supplement!</p>

<p>That’s still fine! I haven’t gotten to visit a few schools on my list either. If you get accepted to any school, just go to their accepted student weekend thingy or whatever to see if you really like it. Everything happens for a reason :)</p>

<p>i have had three lucid dreams in the past week: one acceptance letter, one rejection (by phone haha), and one deferral letter. So i guess since i had to deal with it in my lucid dream and it was so realistic then i can totally deal with it in real life. I hope.
whatever though, i have plan A- go to brown, plan B- go to another university, plan C- go to new york and model</p>

<p>Haha that’s so interested jollygreengiant. I guess you’re mentally prepped for any situation. And I think I just have plan B. No modeling in my future lol. I turned down all those jobs in the past, so burnt bridges. Oh well, I could always be a pro musician lol.</p>
