<p>When i turned in my last EA apps on Saturday afternoon, I thought i had a pretty good job of getting into about 1/2 of them...my stats were looking great...my essays were singing out loud....I was imagining great teacher recs...but now, 48 hours later, i'm plagued with doubts....i think my essays weren't personalized enough...and one of my two teacher recs still hasn't been uploaded...i don't know.</p>
<p>I guess the season of second-guessing has begun....</p>
<p>Rejections will suck, but get an acceptance or two and it’ll all be good.</p>
<p>The good news is that i have good safeties…but I"d still like to get into at least one of my reaches…those essays were hard to write!

<p>Scientists and medical doctors have a three word name for what afflicts you: The Human Condition. </p>
<p>Me too man. As soon as I hit submit I get plagued with unexpected doubt about how my resume wasn’t done well enough, my essay wasn’t good enough, ect.</p>
<p>The waiting game has begun and it is absolutely awful! I feel like I could’ve written my essays different or have made them better. Nothing I can do about it now though! December, please hurry up.</p>
<p>After I submitted all my apps, I had days when I felt on top of the world. I thought I was the smartest person in the universe and would get in everywhere I applied because my applications were so solid. Then I had tons of days when I felt so stupid that there was no way I would even get into my safeties. I worried about it so much that I actually made myself physically ill. I was at home in bed with a 103 degree fever when my first acceptance letter came and suddenly everything was alright again. </p>
<p>In other words, it’ll suck, but you’ll get through it.</p>
<p>A lot of people have that post-submission panic attack. I’m sure that you will be fine.</p>
<p>Meh… I figure I can’t change anything now. I did freak out though, because I ended up doing one of my colleges essays when I was exhausted, just to get them done (I knew I would be too busy during the weekend to finish it). Not my proudest moment but I figured that I already needed a miracle to get accepted to the school. Couldn’t hurt to ask for two miracles now, right? #-o </p>
<p>Overall there isn’t much I’m too stressed about. Yeah, I’m sure I could have put more work into my essays and everything, but I’m just ready to be done with college apps… </p>
<p>Unrelated question, but: I too sent my application in on 1 Nov. Its already 4th Nov yet Ive yet to receive a confirmation email from the colleges and giving me the account id to log in and see my status.</p>
<p>Should I start freaking out and bow over with anxiety? </p>
