How will you read your ED notification? [stolen]

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I was at the other board reading their ED posts and felt my nerves tight up into a bunch. I thought I'd bring this joy over to Cornell's board and we can all vicariously live through someone else's ED nerves. </p>

<p>Anyways.</p>

<p>At 5 PM on the 19th, would you be alone, with a friend, with family or not opening the decision notification?</p>

<p>I'm debating between opening with my beloved and by myself. I offered it to him, but he said I probably want to do it alone.</p>

<p><em>sighs</em></p>

<p>OH!</p>

<p>WHY CAN"T IT BE THE 19TH NOW?!</p>

2

<p>it comes out at 2PM in the westcoast... that's right after 6th period starts -_-</p>

<p>i dont know what im gonna do...</p>

3

<p>i'm probably gonna have friends over my house, and then chances are i'll chicken out on checking the website and have to get someone else to check it for me.
after that i'll either a) break down in tears at being accepted (as if i'm going to get accepted) or b) break down in tears at being deferred/rejected
mostly likely choice b is gonna happen.</p>

4

<p>I don't know.
But my beloved has offered to come out after I check my decisions at the whim of a call.
I think I'm going to need chocolate cake. And lots of it too!.</p>

5

<p>that a big envelope means you got accepted and a little envelope means you didn't?</p>

6

<p>Rajd, you don't have to wait for the envelopes. They will get there after the online decisions anyway.</p>

<p>It'll be alot faster to click on a link to find out your decision.</p>

<p>And to my knowledge, it's not like acceptances flash red and rejections flash blue or anything like that.</p>

7

<p>my friend who got into yale last year said that if you were accepted, the yale school song played.</p>

<p>...far above cayuga's waters... rofl</p>

8

<br>


<br>

<p>I just want the decision to be out NOW.</p>

9

<p>SAME HERE! all i had today for homework was calc...and i havent even started yet. this addiction is very unhealthy, but i cant stop!</p>

10

<p>I got this strategy from someone else:</p>

<p>Have lots of post-its of all the great schools that I'd still be able to attend around my computer monitor. (of accepted, applied, and to-be applied schools), and play happy-go-lucky music very loud. :D</p>

11

<p>i'm an intl applicant, and i'll read the decision on the morning of the 20th!</p>

<p>i'm literally counting down the hours...</p>

12

<p>6 in the morning for me
so...iz just me and my computer
but im gonna call everyone and wake them if i do get in(probably not)</p>

13

<p>i think ill be home alone anyway, so ill probably just sit in the room where i normally chill and watch tv and not get to psyched up for anything. no big deal. you just click a link- i dont want to get too excited for no reason. </p>

<p>let down is not pretty.</p>

14

<p>try to wake up at 5AM to check... call everyone if i get in.</p>

<p>get dressed, get on my bike and go somewhere... anywhere. O_O i dunno haha</p>

15

<p>1 week to go.</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>best of luck everybody!</p>

<p>afchang SKIP CLASS!!!</p>

17

<p>ugh i have a friend who was accepted ED to darmouth today and one to williams. one who was deferred from dartmouth too- and he was a PERFECT applicant. </p>

<p>im scared. and i wish i had less than a week. idk it just really hit me when i was on the phone with her and i can actually say "congratulations...dartmouth class of 2012, that is great".</p>

18

<p>i work monday, wednesday, and fridays, thinking i'm skipping work, logging in at 330 when i get home from school and refreshing the page.. with my brother. I will be shouting happiness of be ****ed beyond belief</p>

<p>my best friend go into Northwestern yesterday ED, and today's her bday. she literally got in to her #1, 2 hours before she turned 18, how sweet of a bday present would that be!??!?!!?</p>

19

<p>I definitely want to quietly find out on my own -- since I can only picture either an awkward or disappointing situation if I were to be rejected/deferred with anyone around. :/ But if I SOMEHOW get accepted, of course the first thing I'm gonna do is call every single person I know/ever knew while doing some sort of happy dance around the house C: Of course... I'm trying to be as pessimistic as I can right now and am prepared for the worst... Maybe that way, I can be double the happy in the best-case-scenario... hahaha...</p>

<p>Whatever the final decision is, I'll be sure to have a big chunk of cake and a slab of ice cream arm's length away. : D</p>

<p>So...The hyperlinks I visit on December 19th will arguably be the scariest ones I'll ever click on in my life haha... I can't even imagine how never-wrecking that day will be...!
Less than 168 hours guys-- </p>

<p>wow.
talk about obsessive.</p>

<p>@lori1122
oh wow, I'm in the same boat as you haha~ that is, I'm applying architecture ED too >_< best of luck to us both! Aren't you so glad that the interview/portfolio's done with!? ahahha
What other schools are you applying to?</p>

20

<p>hhahaha ok best way to check</p>

<p>get a lap top with a wireless card, make sure it is after 8 o'clock at night so there is no chance that it will be difficult to get onto the admissions site. sign using your web id then jump. sky dive for a few moments while holding the laptop then check your decision while you are in freefall. If you get in pull the shoot. If not....</p>

<p>(do not attempt this at home, hire a professional stunt double)</p>
