<p>I just read the columbia ED results forum and realized its kinda sad how next thursday will be the last day ever for some of us on the penn Forum.</p>
<p>I know if I get deferred I won't come here until late-march, and if I'm rejected, i won't come here...we'll have to say goodbye to everybody! It's going to suck</p>
<p>im dying here... i was just bugging my parents abt how nervous i am and they yelled at me - in chorus: "shuttup!!!" lol</p>
<p>paro - haha same.
if i am THIS nervous just reading the columbia ED results...
next week i'm going to have a heart attack</p>
<p>haha whats really going to suck is when you get the:</p>
<p>Server is currently busy- please try again later.</p>
<p>Do we get an email at 5pm eastern?
And if so - does the e-mail itself tell us our decisions?</p>
<p>steps...
1. server currently busy - try again later</p>
<p>2-and then u keep hitting refresh and it wont work</p>
<p>3-and then your linksys craps out and u spend 20 minutes trying to fix it</p>
<p>4-then the page loads but you get the blue screen of death and have to go to a neighbors house to check</p>
<p>5-repeat steps 1-5</p>
<p>can a few thousand people going online within 30 minutes of each other really overload penn's servers?</p>
<p>I think thats more of an issue with regular decisions when >10K kids are trying to log in than for early decisions where 4K kids will try to log in.</p>
<p>I am sure that all of the above ^^ will happen to me. But ah!! I don't care I AM SO EXCITED!!!!! I need to know whether or not I'm in. Any decision, good or bad, is fine with me at this point. (Some more fine than others of course). The only bright side I see to a rejection/defferal is that you get to then see where else you can get in and have some options. Ultimately though, Penn ED acceptance > options.</p>
<p>If I get rejected... as I will, my last post on this forum will be announcing that. If I get accepted... I'll post a few more times, celebrates with the other acceptee's and consoling the rejected/deffered. If I get deffered, I'll make a semi-final post and then update in a few months (when I get rejected)...</p>
<p>But sadly, I don't feel I've fully joined this Penn forum community and don't think my posts/comments will be missed... Oh well, 7 more days til our fates are decided...</p>
<p>I'll be at work that Thursday though, so I'd think the internet connection there will let me check my results efficiently.</p>
<p>-The Loner Coot66</p>
<p>aw coot66, we'll miss they way u sign all of ur posts =)</p>
<p>AH!!!!@#$%^&<em>() this whole process is so unfair i cannot wait another #$%^&</em> ing *** ing week. I cannot think about anything else whatsoever today and its driving me nuts!!!!! ahhhrrgrhjhhhh</p>
<p>edit: rant over now lol</p>
<p>In all reality I probably won't come back unless I'm accepted.</p>
<p>eh, I'll come back, regardless. What better do I have to do? :)</p>
<p>AIM chat: penned ... nowish?</p>
<p>yeah. I'm bored...procrastinating...can't stop thinking about penn (and my friends are getting sick of me talking about it to them!)</p>
<p>haha my friends feel the same way</p>
<p>at least we dont have the notorious Brown button :)</p>
<p>the what?</p>
<p>and yea, my friends hate penn right now.</p>
<p>haha ask anyone that applied ED to brown (or just check out the Brown thread) and youll know about this pious button</p>
