<p>best of luck everyone!! im going crazy, like most of you guys! haha i mean im only using cc for penn (hence the username). im not expecting too much, but i already know im gonna cry either way</p>
<p>@upenn2017, I totally agree. </p>
<p>If I get rejected, I will be bawling in a corner for days. If I get accepted, I’ll still sob and cry like a baby. </p>
<p>I can’t help it. I’ve invested so much and given up a lot to do what I’ve done, and to be rejected would feel like a big slap in the face saying “You wasted your time.” </p>
<p>Ouch.</p>
<p>@teenyoats yeah thats the worst feeling 
and it would mean spending christmas/ all vacation on college apps, because ive been way too distracted lately. i didnt think i would be one of those people with senioritis, but i guess it affects everyone haha. i really dont know how im gonna get through the school day on wednesday, or even go to school on thursday!</p>
<p>teenyoats & upenn2017 - Yes! This exactly. At first I was afraid to make a CC account to participate in the Penn 2017 threads… My thinking was that if I invested even more time into Penn, it’d be an even bigger blow if rejected.</p>
<p>But it’s too late to turn back now.</p>
<p>Sort of ironic how we’re told not to take rejection personally when we’ve spent months divulging every personal detail about ourselves in writing!</p>
<p>^ Exactly.</p>
<p>^On the other hand, if we were just chosen based on a quantifiable criteria (e.g. GPA, test scores), rejection would hurt less because they’re only rejecting a score–versus us as people, with stories and all.</p>
<p>Before and during my interview I was so calm about UPenn. I was like if I get in, it isn’t the end of the world. And if I get in… meh. I was basically bracing myself for rejection because I didn’t want too be hurt to much.</p>
<p>Lately however, I’ve been undoing my calmness. I’ve already planned decking out my room with penn gear. I’ve been researching specific classes and such. I’ve been getting cocky as well because I’m like I can do this, I got this. I’ll get in definitely. </p>
<p>Well… I’m going to be screwed lol.</p>
<p>I know that feel</p>
<p>Yeah same. At the beginning I was was like the chances are so low, it isn’t a big deal if I don’t get it. But the closer to the decisions I get, the more and more I want to get accepted and the more and more I feel like crap thinking I won’t. :(</p>
<p>That feel when I know all these feels.</p>
<p>My son has applied Ed to penn and feels much the same as all the posts I have been reading on this thread. He is my second child going to college. My first child did not get accepted into his first choice which was a real down point in December. In march he go into his second choice. Turned out the admissions officers knew better than he did. He couldn’t be happier and now realizes he would have been miserable at his first choice. Try to keep that in mind. When they are sculpting a class they are trying to get a class that works together, if you don’t get in it may be you just don’t “fit” which in the long run helps u to fit where u belong. Good luck to everyone here, I hope you are all ultimately happy where u end up :)</p>
<p>^ im trying to think like that but its so hard to right now! im literally planning everything out for a rejection and acceptance. i cant wait to call my family/friends, get the decals to put on my car and sweatshirts and everything! for a rejection, i have like 3 boxes of ice cream in the fridge. and for a deferral, i think im just gonna cry.</p>
<p>i hope i dont get whopped for sneaking in here (cornell ed applicant, but doubtful about acceptance, so applying here rd…)!</p>
<p>we dont have a thread like this, but i am ‘coping’ with this waiting madness by simply: not coping! i can barely focus, all i want to do is sleep, i feel depression and anxiety coming on and swamping me!</p>
<p>i just want my decision NOW so i can start applying to other places OTL</p>
<p>^Welcome to the party! Haha. Even though I’m not too stressed out about whether or not I get in, I do want to get it over with simply because I have no motivation to do any other apps until I hear from Penn.</p>
<p>I’m putting off other applications mostly out of necessity. I can’t tell Yale why I want to attend Yale when in fact I’m already in love with Penn. </p>
<p>It feels like I’m cheating or something! D:</p>
<p>@Kurimi: haha, that’s cool I’ve been lurking in other forums as well.</p>
<p>@teenyoats: SAME. Oh man, I wish they told us sooner whether or not we got accepted because I’m basically putting little to no effort in my other college applications xD;</p>
<p>PUTTING OFF MY COLLEGE APPS.

<p>Oh jeez. If I get rejected, the news is going to be all the more burdensome with all these other unfinished apps hanging about…</p>
<p>PENN, YOU ARE MY SOURCE
OF DESIRE AND OF RUIN
OF HAPPINESS AND OF MISFORTUNE
WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME?</p>
