<p>... also known as Post Submit Syndrome. It's official, I submitted my application a few minutes ago and I am now in a state of shock. I'm sure everything is perfect (I only went over the app, what, 7 times?), but it's just sinking in that it is completely out of my hands now.</p>
<p>Any other '12s feeling this way? I can't be alone in this.</p>
<p>Heh, well I submitted my app by mistake lol. I accidentally Clicked Submit application rather than Review in PDF. Not much I can do so why worry.</p>
<p>I actually did the exact same thing with my ND app. No essay or anything. I’m seriously considering not completing my application because the only reason I’m applying is because my parents are making me (something about 4th generation, continuing the tradition, I don’t know).</p>
<p>same. 10char</p>
<p>Me too… I’m terrified that I’ll see a typo if I look at it again (though I, too, checked it over like 4581459823 times) so I’m afraid to go back to MIT’s page.</p>
<p>And even if there is a typo? I think we get paranoid over this stuff, especially with typos…you won’t get rejected because you misspell a word lol</p>
<p>on the bright side… only 6 weeks until decisions come out. last year it was dec 9, so i assume its during the first or second week of december. DRUM ROLL.</p>
<p>6 WEEKS whoa man, seems like not a long time. just submitted, so exciting and yet scary!!! now… time to finish that music supplement… and that application to the Other Institute of Technology, heh… and that science fair research paper due tomorrow… <em>oh man, this week is death</em></p>
<p>I just logged in to make a “good luck all other EA '12-ers” thread, but I guess this serves the same purpose. :P</p>
<p>As for nerves, I’m not particularly worried. What’s done is done; it’s pretty much out of my hands now. If you did everything you wanted to and did it right, what more could you ask for? If anything, hitting that Submit button was a weight off my shoulders! No use stressing now; it’s in the Admissions Office’s hands. (Of course, I can’t hold it against anyone if they do; still nerve-racking…)</p>
<p>As for excitement, though, ohhhhh, there’s plenty of that now. Six weeks or so and that’s the answer; wow. Destiny awaits, eh? Good or bad, I can barely wait for the results. I mean, this is *it![/] Thrilling, no?</p>
<p>Again, just wanted to say good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…as long as you don’t infringe on my luck, anyway. :D</p>
<p>Surprisinlgy, I am actually not nervous at all. I really think it’s becuase im 99% positive that I will be deferred. If I had a better chance of being accepted EA, I’d be a lot more nervious. When it’s close to RD decisions though, I’m going to be freaking lol.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s kind of my stance right now. I’m at peace with being deferred. I will be exceptionally unhappy if I get rejected (though it’s statistically the most likely to be the end result anyways). You basically would have to be amazing to get in EA.</p>
<p>I’m positive that I’m getting deferred as well… but I’m dreading that for two reasons:
1- My friends don’t understand the way the college admissions work, and they’re convinced that I’m getting in
2- French exchange was going on for the two weeks before Nov. 1, and my parents think that I didn’t devote enough time to perfecting my application. So, if I’m deferred, I’m going to hear this: “If you hadn’t taken your exchange student out to dinner, you probably would have gotten in, wouldn’t you?”</p>
<p>Honestly, don’t get down on yourself about deferrals. It’s not that I’m sugarcoating the EA process or anything. Look at the stats. Over 3,000 kids apply EA and they only admit 300-400 out of that pool. The majority of the people are going to be disappointed. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but deferral will be nothing to be ashamed of. Just kick back and enjoy senior year. Who’s with me on spending all free time reading xkcd?! =)</p>
<p>XKCD FTW.</p>
<p>But yes. I will be deferred. Deferred FTW as well.</p>
<p>Yeah I really don’t care if I’m deferred at all. It’s the rejection I’m trying to avoid. When I first decided to apply EA I knew then that I was not going to be accepted, but I still wanted to apply EA because it gives me 2 chances to send things in: when I submit the app, and when I’m deferred I’m pretty sure I get a chance to send in new material. If I had applied regular, I feel like I only have 1 shot at acceptance.</p>
<p>definitely agree with LesOs, most ppl at my school don’t understand how hard it is to get into top schools, they’re like “oh she’s valedictorian, she’ll make it”</p>
<p>sigh.. i’d rather not to go to school the day decisions come out</p>
<p>Oh man, same here. Everyone at my school’s basically already been accepted to their schools of choice due to rolling admissions (around here, U of M is considered the “school of choice” for smart kids). So naturally, everyone assumes I must have heard back from MIT already. I’m honestly shocked at the number of people who a) know who I am that I in return don’t know and then b) who also know that MIT is my first choice.</p>
<p>Seriously, if I don’t get in eventually, I might just have to dig myself a hole and hide for a few days until the news blows over. I might just read the XKCD archives again, too. Not a bad idea.</p>
<p>Yeah I’ve had something simliar. I’ve seriously had someone bet me money that I’ll get into MIT. But at least now that if I get denied, as I’m expecting, I’ll be up five more bucks :-D. lol</p>
<p>Today i sent in my supplement for boston college because they ask that you send it in as soon as you can. So I take a look on my printed copy, and I misspelled my last name… my last name is “osorio”, but it appears as “osori”. Whats worse is I rechecked to make sure I filled everything else right before I submitted, but I just assumed I spelled my name right. Im going to call bc in the morning and see what they can do. Do you guys think its a big deal? Will they be able to fix it? Will screwing up on the most basic part of the application hurt my chances of getting in? Thanks for any help</p>
<p>sorry! i just realized how off topic my ^ post is.</p>
