<p>Don't be shy!</p>
<p>Personally, just like all other ED kids I know, I think about the college at least a few times a day. My body feels a bit jumpy when thinking about the implications of a yes or no decision. I also think about the possible weaknesses of my application a lot (certain test scores, or essay, whatever) which worsens any feelings I have about the entire college process.</p>
<p>You?</p>
<p>I also think about "Columbia College" many times in one day. What are your AIM screen names ?......... If you guys have any</p>
<p>Clean your PM box so I can PM you my sn.</p>
<p>ok it's clean.</p>
<p>the thing thats been increasing my anxiety is the fact that whenever my teacher gives us a deadline now, I'd compare the date to Dec 10. and the deadline dates are getting closer and closer to Dec 10. by the time a teacher says "gsdfgjdf wll be due on next next monday, I'll be like... crap.... thats after columbia's letters." the fact that I can do nothing right now but to watch the day approach is the worst thing that I can think about.</p>
<p>Not that anxious. I've been a lot less stressed out about everything this year. It's really nice.</p>
<p>i'm not arrogant but i'm confident i will get in. I tried really hard on my essays and i have really no regrets on my application except one mistake on listing my activities in chronological order.</p>
<p>Same here, lynda. </p>
<p>I never thought I'd be nervous, I've been pretty calm all the way up to last week, but suddenly, I just go this thought in my head that I wouldn't get in ED and now I totally can't stop thinking about it.</p>
<p>I had a dream last night that I kept calculating how long it was til decisions came out and there always was two more weeks to go, the date never seemed to arrive.</p>
<p>What really is getting me now is that I just don't think I stand out enough. We'll see what happens.</p>
<p>desertsea u take multivariable too? i watch the teacher on TV and i think the women looks like Peter Griffin.</p>
<p>i'm having a hard time mentally preparing myself for rejection. i just can't get amped about other schools. any other eders being lazy with their other apps?</p>
<p>ahhh i am soo far behind on my other apps... my friend and i decided now that if we don't get in ed to our schools we're going to get others like us and start a utopian society/commune a la 1830's/1960's...you're all more that welcome....</p>
<p>lol i've read all teh essay questions and i think i can recycle every single essay i wrote but i'm becoming a little lazy. I think i'll just have to wait until Dec. 9 to guide me.</p>
<p>I've pumped myself up for defferal/rejection. Just like...take your second choice school and oogle over their viewbook/website.</p>
<p>to all female eders: are you thinking barnard as a safety?</p>
<p>so other ed'ers are getting lazy on apps? i'm getting lazy (been lazy for a long time) on school in general. meaning if i don't get in now, i'm not getting in regular and i'm going nowhere else. also if i do get in, i'm hoping columbia won't reject me after seeing my fall senior grades.</p>
<p>i was pretty confident right after i applied, but not anymore. the 9th/10th is exactly in the middle of my 1st semester finals week also. which doesn't make things easier for me.</p>
<p>youngisleturk... Barnard is a safety school for columbia as much as columbia is a safety school for harvard (it's not- not anymore at all.) The average Barnard SAT score is in the 1400's. Also, incoming Barnard girls have a higher GPA in high school than incoming columbia college freshman.</p>
<p>imiracle, yeah, Mrs. Rychlik. I have 9 people in my class and we just sit there and make fun of her. Like we'll draw her a moustache and beard, muse over her bald spot and how anyone could have possibly married her, and we'll have a great time over it. I know, it's kind of mean, but what can we do about it?</p>
<p>yes I am applying to barnard, but not as a safety. the barnard presenter at our school told us that barnard is pretty welcoming with IB students. the problem with barnard for me lies in the financial since I'm international to them(columbia consider canadians same as US for financial). suburbania's right, barnard is not a safety school.</p>
<p>I'm pretty hyped about anyschool I'm applying to, and this includes the safeties. however I think I'm "loving my safety" a little too early and slacking off on my other apps as a result.</p>
<p>lol i have 9 people too and no one listens to her. We first made fun of her but that got a little too boring so recently? we just do other stuff and talk. Oh yeh like for the most recent test like we were like skipping a lot. Everyone skipped the day of the test and 5 people took it the second day. There are like three people that need to make up that test lol.</p>
<p>But it helps if I can get my mind focused on something other than my own issues. (No, not solving the world hunger... lol). It just makes the time go by faster. I figure if I can do that often enough, Dec. 10 will be here before I know it!</p>
