<p>just an observation...</p>
<p>the harvard forum already has a 12 page thread for their early action countdown</p>
<p>what losers.</p>
<p>yes but no</p>
<p>If by "excited" you mean "going clinically insane" then yes.</p>

<p>how long does it take them to review apps? Are they almost finished? or have they just started?</p>
<p>probably somewhere in between ^</p>
<p>hahaha ender, im with you. im going nuts. nuts. NUTS.</p>
<p>I third the insane statement.
Watch decisions not get released till the 17th or something and have everyone here die of impatience.</p>
<p>You'd think for $75 they could at least send me my rejection in a timely fashion! Haha, that would really suck, but you really can't get your hopes up.</p>
<p>I'm trying to stay calm and focus on school work but I've been finding that to be impossible!</p>
<p>i fourth the insane statement</p>
<p>My folks have been prepping me for disappointment. They say: "You'll never make it. You're an idiot!" That kinda pessimism works. If I get in, I'd be happier. If I don't I won't feel as bad. </p>
<p>Pessimism - The warm blanket for fear.</p>
<p>i know that there will always at least the community college a block away from my high school.... or at least mcdonalds to work at.</p>
<p>so we don't even have any confirmation yet that it is going to be released on the 10th or even if they will give decisions on the phone?</p>
<p>Not excited at all, because there's a very low admission chance, and I have to deal with other apps.</p>
<p>On the bright side, UC apps are done!</p>
<p>Concerning the decision date, I believe that the people last year didn't know until a couple days before that they could call and find out. I remember reading in the archives about people calling weeks before and being told nothing about the date released or if they could inquire by phone. So, I assume as "Mid-December" approaches, we'll find out more. Unless some brave CCer wants to call and find out for everyone (Not me)...</p>
<p>They won't give you a date. Trust me. </p>
<p>I have a feeling that if someone calls on the 10th, they might be in luck though.</p>

<p>Think about the big picture. You're going to know your entire lives whether you got into undergraduate Stanford early or not. So why stress over a couple days or minutes or even seconds clicking on the email when in the grand span of time it is inconsequential? lol I am subtracting one from the insane statement. We are at three now.</p>
<p>For some people, a few days does matter. Take me, I have to postmark an application to another school by December 10th, but if I was accepted to Stanford and knew about it that day, I could save $60 plus postage.</p>
<p>haha if someone has the guts to call.. the more power to em.. im too scared.. and its long distance.</p>
<p>For me, a couple days will completely decide whether i apply to like 2-4 more schools with 65 dollar application fees. Plus, if I do send more apps I need to get them sent out before I go on vacation on the 19th</p>
<p>i go on vacation on the 19th.. not to mention i have a math final on the 18th which if i dont get into STanford, I will have to put a lot more effort into to make sure I get an A... also, im going to call. But im calling on the 10th.</p>
