<p>I will probably faint the second I log onto the decision website…before I get to read what my screen says. I’ll probably get deferred/rejected, but no big deal. I figure if I keep my expectations low then any decision is a good one! It’ll just be good to know. I can’t imagine waiting until March!</p>
<p>I’m expecting a deferral/rejection. I have a swim meet on the day decisions will be released, so for most of the meet I’m gonna try not to drown from being too anxious haha. If I get rejected, I’ll be okay…it’s kinda expected. If I get deferred, I’ll be happy knowing I still have a chance! Now if I were to be accepted, I think I’d cry non-stop. Tears of pure joy! Only a few more days until 12/17 12:17!</p>
<p>Now that we know the exact time, I know that I’ll be home, my mom will be cleaning and my sister will be asleep. I always pictured myself alone when I got my decision. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t have thought that knowing the best I can possibly be hoping for is a deferral would ease the eventual pain of not being admitted this Saturday, but, at least for now, it’s actually making the wait somewhat bearable. Will I be upset? Eh, maybe a little bit…but then I’ll slap myself out of it and get back to work on my other apps, for all shall not be lost.</p>
<p>…or, you know, so I hope.</p>
<p>Someone needs to make a countdown clock until the event horizon.</p>

<p>^Dogod11 … Hats off to you man … so what r u expecting to see when the timer runs out ??</p>
<p>If I get denied, I’m going to buy Skyrim and play that for hours and hours so I don’t have to think, buy lots of candy, and cry too much.</p>
<p>If I get in, I’m going up to MIT Saturday night (my girlfriend (freshman at MIT) is coming home for my decision, she needs to be replaced) to hang out at the stressful finals review and buy MIT gear. Also, Sunday night when I get home, I’m making 80 cupcakes to bring and give out at school.</p>
<p>If I get deferred, I’ll do all the apps to the schools I don’t want to go to, and then reset in March.</p>
<p>
Deferred, because it’s statistically the most likely.
And that took about 5 minutes - I googled “Count Down Clock” and came up with that website.</p>
<p>
A man after my own heart. :)</p>
<p>That counter is making me so nervous. On Saturday I have to work until 12, so hopefully that’ll keep my mind busy. Mperrone, that sounds like a good plan. Not thinking is always good!</p>
<p>If anyone is looking for a distraction and plays StarCraft 2, add me/PM me for some games (Zarathustra.286) 
I’m top Platinum.</p>
<p>Dogod11 … Yeah but that’s statistically right … what about you … what do u think ??</p>
<p>
OK fine. It depends on the day. I know rationally to expect to be deferred, but sometimes my subconscious wins and I expect something else (either one - even my subconscious doesn’t really know what to expect).</p>
<p>
I probably should have thought of that before finding it - it’s making me nervous, too.</p>
<p>16 hours, 54 minutes, 37 seconds</p>
<p>I don’t know how I’m going to sleep tonight :(</p>
<p>My son is on tenterhooks, awaiting his decision. The important thing to remember is that, whatever the outcome, it’s not an endpoint. College is only part of life’s path and does not define you. Always try to maintain perspective.</p>
<p>If </p>
<p>If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;</p>
<p>If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;</p>
<p>If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;</p>
<p>If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son! </p>
<p>Rudyard Kipling</p>
<p>I am going to cry.</p>
<p>If I get admitted my dreams have come through despite my unthinkably low grades.</p>
<p>If I get deferred, I’m as good as rejected because I’m certainly going to get a B in AP Calc this year, and that’s not going to fly well.</p>
<p>If I get rejected at least I don’t have to endure 4 months of torment.</p>
<p>But at least I will always have idle hope…at least till tomorrow at 9:17.</p>
<p>Accepted - Tears of joy.
Rejected - Tears of despair.
Deferred - Tears of … apathy.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, I think being deferred is the most likely for me. I’ve already accepted my fate. 
Obviously if I am admitted I’ll be ecstatic… rejected, don’t really want to think about it.</p>
<p>Ahhhhh. At a loss for words. Can’t sleep :(</p>
