I Dub Thee.....the Official Ed Decision Thread

<p>no no, I meant like the format that all the other schools use cuz the one above is slightly different</p>

<p>drop65, the one below is slightly different for a reason: the one on the other message boards SUCKS. We do it better here on Penn CC. I added ACT scores for you who took it.</p>

<p>omfg waiting is ****ing impossible, i had a dream about it last night... woke up at 9 am this morning and the very first thing i thought was "wow 10 hours OMGGGG". </p>

<p>this is not easy, i did not think about it and was feeling great from nov 1 to december 5, then on december 8th i started realizing "we're almost in the double digits..." and started counting the days. then on the 10th or so I started thinking "when i wake up tomorrow it will be the 11th".</p>

<p>yeah so this is tougher than it looks.</p>

<p>Why am I so nervous? It's weird, you'd think I was getting news today! :)</p>

<p>celeb... it's cuz of me, ur best cc pal</p>

<p>well, since i won't be around for the last few hours of the anxious wait, i'll leave you guys this link to keep you occupied. hopefully it will make those last few minutes go a litte faster.</p>

<p>I just got home from school an hour ago, where I spent the better part of the day getting hugs from my friends and discussing tonight with other ED people. My hands are shaking as I type this; I feel queasy and nauseous and I can't think straight. </p>

<p>It just wansn't that real before today. I counted down, and thought about the decisions, but now it's so real it's terrifying. I probably don't make sense; but that's okay. I want to get in so badly it hurts. I want to finally NOT be disappointed; I want my parents to be proud. I want everything I've done and worked so hard for to finally pay off. </p>

<p>I deserve it, as I'm sure everyone one this board does. However, the odds are against us all, and the lucky few who get the answer they are hoping for are so amazingly lucky and deserving of it. Life isn't fair, and college admissions is probably the most unfair process ever devised. </p>

<p>Still, I just keep telling myself that it wasn't meant to be, but I don't know how much I believe it. I've had the urge to pray, which I don't do, because I'm not religious; I've done everything I can think of to distract myself. </p>

<p>My friends and family are all awaiting a phone call from me with the news, but I don't know if I'll be able to handle it. </p>

<p>It's just too much. I'm terrified. My fingers and toes are crossed, and I wish every one of you GOOD LUCK from the bottom of my heart.</p>

<p>gOOOd LucK Helix! and good luck to all!!</p>

<p>nnneerrvvousss</p>

<p>ok reeze, be a damn rebel :)</p>

<p>when do the decisions come out?</p>

<p>7:00pm sir :)</p>

<p>thank you aaron! How are things in Nepal?</p>

<p>When we go to the decisions page, I can't seem to get the box that allows us to type in password and User ID. I'm guessing it'll be up at 7?</p>

<p>I will not cry, I will not cry, I will not cry............</p>

<p>i will... most likely not tears of happiness</p>

<p>i'm freaking out here and my parents are blissfully asleep! it's 5.34am here!</p>

<p>ahhh..</p>

<p>oh, you're so lucky they're asleep! </p>

<p>My dad is still at work, and my mom is cooking downstairs. She's been kind of moody, i guess it's getting to everyone.</p>

<p>Dear Christopher,</p>

<p>Congratulations! It gives me great pleasure to invite you to attend the University of Pennsylvania as a member of the College at Penn Class of 2010, the 254th graduating class since Benjamin Franklin founded the University in 1740. </p>
