<p>I am seriously checking my mail box everyday even though I know that my results wont be here until April 1st. I've tried not to think about it but I can't and its driving me insane. Is it just me or do you guys feel really vulnerable waiting for results that could potentially dash your dreams. </p>
<p>I dnt know what to do!!!!!!</p>
<p>“checking my mail box everyday even though I know that my results wont be here until April 1st”
Yeah, lawl, me too. Yesterday I got an email from one of the colleges I applied to and nearly had a heart attack. Was just some form email to all applicants :(</p>
<p>I’m trying to keep busy so I don’t think about it too much. Not really working so far.</p>
<p>I don’t really freak that much. The only sort of obsessive thing I do is keep a countdown app on my Mac’s dashboard. I mean, no matter what, I’m going somewhere awesome.</p>
<p>It’s a lot less burden if you (Like I do, and I think Millanclad does as well) hold an offer from a university that you would be super excited to attend already. That being said, I notice that I have been checking my inbox more than usual as a couple of the places to which I have applied do not have specific dates for mailing out descions (e.g. Caltech says that they send out descions in Mid-March, whatever that means).</p>
<p>However I don’t really have a coping strategy per se, as it is what it is and nothing can change that…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Me too. Its kinda sad actually. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha was it Midd? I almost got a heart attack at that too.</p>
<p>I’m busy with exams in school so that is keeping me distracted from college decisions. However, I still often find myself doodling my dream college’s name all over my books :).</p>
<p>^^Lol, yeah, it was Middlebury. It was like the anti-climax of my life. :eek:</p>
<p>well, considering i have been obsessive for months now…i think i will just continue to obsess over these next few weeks :]</p>
<p>I don’t know how any of you are surviving. I could not have handled the application season without EA (QB)!</p>
<p>Honestly, I’m not. I’m dyinngg! I’ve been checking the mail and my email obsessively every day. </p>
<p>Just three(ish) more weeks! =l</p>
<p>Medically induced coma.</p>
<p>I try to forget about it, and only start to get my hopes up again for responses the day before/of april 1st.</p>
<p>I already got accepted to my colleges… just waiting on financial aid results now. GAH! Definitely a stressful situation.</p>
<p>where have you guys applied?</p>
<p>Actually, there are schools with earlier admission dates. For example, MIT generally releases March 15, which is about a week away.</p>

<p>Personally, I’m just going to not think about it too much until like the last few days of march</p>
<p>Edit: Although it looks like quite a few of the colleges I’m still waiting on release Mar 25…</p>
<p>If not for a likely, I would have gone insane by now! Still waiting on first choice though…</p>
<p>Haha! I check my mailbox every day… come on CC, sign into my college-related email and profile online (*****), and talk all day about college (or at least think it).</p>
<p>It’s so bad. <em>sigh</em> The only time I really forget about it is when I’m playing guitar or something. I’ve been going crazy ever since I got my first acceptance to Ithaca on Jan. 25 :(</p>
<p>I rush to my mailbox every day after school and usually there is nothing for me -_- I check my online statuses at a couple colleges at least twice a day. Hopefully after March 15 I start hearing back. April 1 needs to come faster. ahhhh I hate waiting.</p>
<p>MIT is March 14th, because that is Pi day (3/14, 3.14…get it?). Anyone that does not know that doesn’t deserve to go there, lol.</p>
<p>^ Lol when I read about that, I thought that that was the most wittiest thing a college has ever done. Oh and the time is at 1:59</p>
