<p>I know it seems as if the first round was overwhelmingly accepted and subsequent rounds will be waitlist/rejects, but I think it's grand time we all just take a deep breath.</p>

<p>Look, you're on College Confidential. The wide majority of the people that will bother to post in the decisions thread are likely those who got in. Imagine you got rejected while <em>seemingly</em> everybody else got in -- how's that for a prerogative to post? Consider that, plus most of the kids on here are likely those who will get in, and you start to breed a very different image of what could be going on.</p>

<p>It's clear that they're posting in waves. Get on with yourselves, your wave will come soon enough.</p>

<p>In less than a couple days, you'll figure out whether or not you got in. In less than a couple days, some blank line will mean nothing to you. In less than a couple days, getting "iN" magazine probably won't be that big of a deal. A couple of days is nothing to sweat over. You're going to find out, so why don't we all relax?</p>

<p>After all, it's Saturday.</p>

<p>soo.. things to do when you need to stop thinking about your decision....</p>

<p>Eat and watch cartoons.. which is what i'm doing, I'm having pasta at 11 in the morning becuase i like to eat</p>

3

<p>ahoke : tht sounds pretty encouraging ... (no sarcasm involved !!!) ... thnx mate</p>

4

<p>This is very true, in years past many of the posters who didn't get in don't bother to post at all.</p>

5

<p>very thoughtful post. all these conspiracies are getting kinda ridiculous. this is what happens when you get a bunch of bored/intelligent students trying to break a "code."</p>

6

<p>My main point here is that College Confidential represents a very, very small percentage of the people who actually applied. Trying to verify any assumptions off of what others post is, quite frankly, an exercise in futility.</p>

<p>I know that everyone is looking for companionship while applying, but these posts are just silly.</p>

7

<p>silly posts make me laugh, thus de-sressing the whole process</p>

8

<p>I'm going to be working on this round of ACSL :-D !</p>

9

<p>I find myself more relaxed when I'm out of the house not on CC haha... So.. maybe we should all go hang out with friends?</p>
