<p>God, I want to go to Dartmouth so bad... This is as bad (or worse) than waiting for Christmas when I was a little kid... I'm pretty much a bundle of nerves... which is funny, because I sent my app in sooo long ago and practically forgot about it for a while, or at least didn't think about it much, but the closer the day gets the more nervous I get... Don't you guys wish you could submit everything online and hear back instantly? AHHHHHHH</p>
<p>On an unrelated note, I don't think many of us EDers are on the prstats.com site. It would be helpful, (not helpful, exactly, but interesting,) if you guys could mosey over there and put up profiles. I'm on there already... Julian S... </p>
<p>Good Luck everyone!</p>
<p>stats make my eyes hurt >_<</p>
<p>I'm nervous too...but not optimistic. Just watching the mail for my rejection letter :(.</p>
<p>See, at first I thought I wanted to go to Princeton. Then I figured that I wouldn't get into/ fit in at Princeton, so I looked at other schools... found and loved Dartmouth... now I'm figuring I won't get into Dartmouth, which may be simply my grim internal way of preparing for possible rejection, but regardless, now I don't know what to do or where I will go if I don't get in! I'm really dreading that thin envelope...</p>
<p>While im not applying (10th grader hehe) I can certainly understand. Im the same way - I always tend to be pessimistic about major things - my motto is better be surprised than disappointed.</p>
<p>Yes its a sick way to look at life, but it prepares you for rejection...</p>
<p>YES I can totally understand!</p>
<p>I'm a total wreck... I can't think about anything except those little black and white letters that will either make or break my college dreams (for a few months, anyways).</p>
<p>Yeah, yeah, I know I should be spending my time productively, going off to save the orphans in Zimbabwe or something like that, but it's just like I'm so worried sick about this that I can't even think about anything else (not good, especially at the end of the term). In fact, forget senior slump- I bet I'd do BETTER if I got into Dartmouth early!</p>
<p>Anyways... so here's a request for any current Dartmouth student (help calm a poor senior here): can you tell us about when you got your acceptance letter? You don't have to tell us your stats or anything... just what you were feeling, whether you thought you'd get in or not, what your parents said, what you did afterwards, etc. etc. Kind of like a story. Thanks so much guys, and here's to December 15th!</p>
<p>dont get me wrong but didn't you have a 1600 julians... i wouldnt be worried if i was you</p>
<p>yes this is driving me crazy. I have a countdown in my locker but I'm pretty sure that was a bad idea, because now I'm scared to open my locker. Every day I want to change the number so I'll know sooner, but at the same time, why hurry disappointment? It's agonizing. I can't decide whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but most of my friends are juniors or sophomores (I skipped last year...) and they have no idea about any of this. I keep waiting for Dec. 15th like Judgement Day (okay so it is judgement day, actually) and they either say "why" or something about getting psat scores. It just doesn't compare. Anyone else checking that website obsessively? Yeah I won't admit all my psychoses just yet but I understand and live in the craze very much. Good luck to everyone. (and raspberry, what you said about doing better if you got in? I completely agree. I think I've promised a half a million wonderful deeds if I get in, and I mean every single one of them. How nice would it be to fulfill them?!)</p>
