<p>So its been over 24 hours. I still havent checked. Every single person I know personally has been rejected (including more talented classmates). What to do?</p>

2

<p>go now check</p>

3

<p>just check, duh. It won’t change if you ignore it, and if you get in CONGRATS! and if not oh well you’ll be happy elsewhere!!</p>

<p>Here’s what happened: me and my friend started talking at 1:50… 1:59 came around, and we decided we were NOT going to check. A few minutes later our saludictorian told us he was rejected. </p>

<p>At about 2:10 my friend said “let’s just get it over with!” We were both accepted.</p>

<p>Just check. You have nothing to lose.</p>

<p>What do you think this is? facebook? :)</p>

7

<p>check!!! good luck</p>

<p>CHECK! 10char</p>

<p>I absolutely don’t understand the psychology behind not checking, but hey, it’s your decision.</p>

11

<p>you ought to just check it. nothing’s going to change by waiting. you might as well get it over with! :)</p>

12

<p>Come on! Check and say us if you was accepted or not…!!</p>

<p>The OP apparently studies Quantum Physics.</p>

<p>Don’t let your decision become a Schrodinger Cat. It’s unkind.</p>

<p>A true existentialist burns his computer, just go be unable to look at his decisions.</p>

16

<p>OP: is that if and only if?</p>

17

<p>I’m not going to lie to you. You should deffinately check now.</p>

18

<p>haha I still haven’t checked my decision either…</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity - wouldn’t it be better not to build it up and just check? That way if you got rejected, well, you can move on with life. If you’ve been accepted, you can go celebrate and BUY THAT PLANE TICKET FOR CPW BEFORE IT BECOMES SUPER EXPENSIVE. If you’ve been waitlisted, you can start planning now how to improve your application so you can have a better chance at being accepted. </p>

<p>I see no good reason as to why you should wait to view your admissions decision.</p>

<p>Have you still not looked? It’ll take weeks before you get 10,000</p>
