It had been decided that my family is going to Disney that day. I guess I will forget about Ivies and check the next day!
Well I’m going to go to school, go to track, and hope to GOD it’s not a hard sprint day. If it is I’ll just go home, sleep, and enjoy being 5/5 on acceptances one last day. If it’s a field event day, then I’ll bring my phone to the track and check towards the end of practice (hopefully portals won’t still be crashing by 5pm CST/6 pm EST). If I get in, I’ll probably jump for joy and roll around in the long jump pit like a weirdo and make a sand angel. If I don’t, then I’ll just move on with my life.
Just realized that Ivy Day is during my spring break and I already made plans to go play laser tag that day :’)
So if I get rejected, I’ll have ~5min to wallow in my sadness before leaving to drown my sorrow in the joys of laser tag <3
I’m probably going to drag myself to school, just to spend the entire day zoning out while trying not to think about decisions…
Turns out I have a dentist appointment while decisions are being posted. I’ll check afterwards in the car on the way home and cry
44hours, my friends
Good luck everyone! I’ll probably wait until I get home from practice. I’ve got 4 to check, no idea what order to do them in.
I’m thinking of checking it the day after.
I’ll probably go on CC to see people posting that the results are up before I check…
Then I’ll realize that CC is not working because it will crash for a while…
Then I’ll cry because I realize I’ll have to check myself without the (in)sanity of CC…
Then I’ll check my results but every site will be down and I’ll convince myself it’s a rejection…
Then I’ll wise up, and not check at all… Because if I don’t check then I CAN’T be rejected.
Flash forward to the fall: I’ll be smiling stupidly, strolling with my luggage up to my dorm at Princeton B)
I basically will wait for people to start posting their accpetances/rejections on CC, and see it crash every 3 seconds.
Then I’ll wallow in self-pity, seeing the superior stats and extracurriculars that have been rejected and accepted alike.
Next, I’ve stocked up on ice cream the whole of March (university and IB stress obviously :P), so I’ll grab a carton.
Then will get yelled at by my mom because I’m eating ice cream first thing in the morning (I always get East coast decisions the morning after, dang it South East Asia!).
Then wallow some more, and finally check.
Fingers crossed yo!
23 hours left X_X [-O<
good luck tomorrow everyone!
I’ll video call my dad who is on the other side of the earth so that he can keep me strong no matter what results I get.
Honestly, i’m going to have my brother check it for me…I don’t have the heart to see another Waitlist note…
Don’t be so cynical you guys! I am feeling a lot of negativity on this thread.
Think positively. You know you worked hard on the applications you submitted. Be a little more cheerful and optimistic!
Think about all the effort you funneled into the application and hope you’ll be admitted
I’m going to go to school, go downtown, and then eat some fries because I have no dogs in this fight. Feels good. Best of luck to you all.
If I get into either Columbia, Princeton, or UPenn, my aunt and I are going to drive down to one of them and purchase my very first college sweatshirt!
Let’s crash college confidential tomorrow. Who’s with me?
I’ll attempt to be nonchalant to get over my host of rejections and waitlists and inevitable future at UNC Chapel Hill, but I’ll most likely be extra cranky. I plan to check them in this order:
Yale (rejection)
Penn (there’s a maybe in there…maybe a yes…if I choose to believe)
Columbia (because there’s no better way to end it than with another rejection!)
BUT POSITIVITY! BELIEVING IS THE KEY
I will be enjoying everyone being emotionally unstable while I causually eat chips and be glad and also afraid that I have 3 years to experience it myself
