For those of us waiting for EA/ED decisions ..

<p>Oh, and I forgot. I'd probably order a license plate frame to put on my car if I got in. =]</p>

<p>i will do nothing but hwk when i find out. lawlz jk</p>

<p>I'll find out either the 14th or the 15th for Yale. If I find out that I get in on the 14th, I will book a flight to Connecticut or New York and get my butt over to Yale! Winter break starts then too. </p>

<p>I'll either have the best Christmas EVER or a lame Christmas break where I'll be thinking about homework.</p>

<p>If I get in, I will pierce my ears (Yes, I never did that before), paint my nails black and have a new haircut.
If I don't, I will probably just stare at the screen for a couple minutes and sigh. Then continue other appications.
Life goes on no matter what happens.</p>

<p>I can handle two early rejections from MIT/JHU. So I'm sort of hoping I get deferred or accepted. But if I get rejected from both early, then I'll just have to suck it up and wait for my regular apps.</p>

<p>If I get accepted, thats another story. I'll throw it in everyone's face :) and buy a hoodie from the school via overnight shipping. And I'll do the infamous run around the neighborhood naked + screaming.</p>

<p>My ED school is in California...and I live in Massachusetts. Do you think I will get my letter on the 15th? Or will it be a couple days after? AHHHHHHHHHHH</p>

<p>u can check online on the 15th, it wont come in the mail until later</p>

<p>i don't think you can find out online...i think you have to wait for it to come in the mail (It's Occidental, fyi)</p>

<p>The week of the 15th is a huge, school wide NHS fundraiser to raise money to buy clothes for children in the area. One thing we get to do is dress up as elves and sell cookies, cake, candy, juice, or whatever else we make. So, if I get an email by the 14th, I'll probably stay up even later to make ridiculously happy gingerbread men or something. :P Then, I'm in charge of the variety show NHS puts on that Friday, so everyone who knows they've been accepted somewhere might get my permission to celebrate by jumping into the pit halfway through the show (we fill the orchestra pit with cushions and things for one part, so it's soft!). </p>

<p>Then...I'll finally sleep that weekend. It sounds like the top priority of pretty much everyone posting!</p>

<p>I'm anticipating a rejection; I'm not even considering the changes of getting in to my ED school. Pessimism works!</p>

<p>Let's see...hadn't thought about this...I'm applying EA to Yale.</p>

<p>If I get rejected: Be sad and pessimistic about colleges in general. And eat chocolate.</p>

<p>If I get deferred: Shrug, because I'm expecting that.</p>

<p>If I get accepted: Run around the house screaming and then convince my parents that I should be allowed into NYC for the night to celebrate.</p>

<p>I like the eating chocolate idea. Maybe I shall steal that idea. Except I shall also add to the list Betty Crocker frosting.</p>

<p>As my dad always tells me, "Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best."</p>

<p>If I get into Stanford EA, my mom is taking me to visit over Winter Break!! That would be the most amazing thing ever, leaving NE Ohio's snow belt for CALIFORNIA! Like omg. Crap, I want to get in :(. </p>

<p>But too bad that's not going to happen.</p>

<p>If deferred: Make a really ugly face and be really anxious about not getting any definitive answer. </p>

<p>If rejected: This is going to happen. I'll be like grrrrr and I'll listen to angry and depressing music and say "I told you so" to my mom and friends and the people at the barn who basically think I could walk in anywhere I wanted to go. </p>

<p>I actually don't really have any friends applying EA/ED anywhere. My school doesn't send too many kids to top schools. Everyone goes to ohio state. My one friend, trombone competitor, smart asian kid applied to Yale EA, so I guess we could party or pity it up. Too bad he doesn't really show emotion :P. Really, I hope we get the same thing, like both accepted, both deferred, or (hopefully not) both rejected. It would suck for one of us to be accepted and one rejected.</p>

<p>Oh, and I just remembered. That night I have a holiday party for my lgbt youth organization, so they will either be congratulating me or consoling me. :P</p>

<p>17 days! This is crazy. It seems so close, but so far away at the same time.</p>

<p>if the 20th brings me some good news, I'm going to leave school early and drive up to campus -- not too far. I'll probably take a deep breath and realize that all this hardwork has been worth it...and then I'll buy a zip-up hoodie as an early Christmas present to myself. :)</p>

<p>< or equal to 12 days for me! =[ That's scary...</p>

<p>2 more days!!</p>

<p>nine days left for me!</p>

<p>Eravial, I went to Stanford during winter break one year, and NOTHING happened. Except rain. :( </p>

<p>But I still love the school! And best of luck, everyone!</p>
