<p>^ I second that! My stomach is in a whirl just thinking about it. That fact that I will know before I even open it is probably worse 
PLEASE let’s hope it’s a thumbs up!</p>
<p>Wow, I’m glad I didn’t apply ED anywhere. That is just too much for me! I hope all of you get in and we meet next year on the Center Path. (Sorry if that’s creepy.)</p>
<p>hey guys. so has anyone called admissions to see what the deal is with getting an answer?</p>
<p>also, any other athletes?</p>
<p>No I haven’t talked to admissions yet. </p>
<p>I agree that its even worse knowing that I will know if I was rejected or accepted just by looking at the envelope.</p>
<p>do you guys know if its a small envelope for acceptance?!</p>
<p>No its a large envelope with purple thumbs up on it. So its going to be pretty horrible if its a small envelope. Sadness ): Did you apply ED?</p>
<p>Also is it just me or is anyone else becoming a Negative Nancy? Seems the closer the deadline comes the more I feel like there is no way I’m getting in… Anyone else in this boat?</p>
<p>Ugh I just can’t handle this level of anxiety. I keep switching my opinions, actually. Yesterday I was so confident the entire day, and today I am filled with this horrible feeling that I just won’t get in. It’s so awful. I hate this I hate this I hate this. I had two dreams in a row about being accepted/rejected last night. TWO. I feel like I didn’t get any sleep. The envelope, big or small, cannot come fast enough.</p>
<p>fingo, what sport do u play?</p>
<p>do they actually have purple thumbs up on them? how do you know that?</p>
<p>I’m dying. Right now, I’m pretty convinced that I won’t get in. I won’t be able to bring myself to open a small envelope with no thumbs up. Today, I felt my phone ring like five times during class and thought it was my mom calling me home to open the envelope. It was the first time that I’ve been disappointed that my friends were texting me and not my mom. Well, I sure hope they get here tomorrow!</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure they sent the letters yesterday, but i know that alot of flights out of the midwest were grounded due to weather…</p>
<p>Jackne: How do you know that they might of sent them?? Did you talk to admissions?</p>
<p>Antsy: I had the same thing going on!! It was the same dream repeated over and over again, but in the dream my mom would hand me an envelope and it would change sizes in my hand. It was horrible!! I hate this as well, not to mention finals. Screw finals, I can’t focus on them knowing that my future is being mailed soon.</p>
<p>Buffalo: I don’t know what it is but since its so close all day today I was convinced I was an utter failure and there was no way Kenyon would want me. Then I kept imagining checking online here and all of you having acceptance and me rejected. Pathetic, I know. Ugh I pulling my hair out here. Why does Texas have to be so far from Ohio?!</p>
<p>dnldmr: my friend’s mom talked to admissions yesterday. how do you know about the purple thumbs?!?!?!?</p>
<p>Oh my goodness! Thank would mean that it should be in the mailbox by tomorrow or Thursday! Yikes!! Anyways I learned about it last year from some older students that were applying and learned about the purple thumbs up on the large envelope that way.</p>
<p>yes, all the letters should be in our mailboxes soon enough! good luck to you all!</p>
<p>I thought athletes were notified early. My son had a friend who was a recruited athlete last year and his coach received a call notifying him that the athlete had been admitted. This was before an official acceptance letter had been mailed.</p>
<p>Oh wow if your friend’s mom is right I am so excited (in a nervous way) now because that means it should come any day now. Don’t know anything about athletic acceptances but you guys have to start posting whenever you get your letter.</p>
<p>When all of you ED1 applicants post your acceptance/deferral/rejection would you do all of us ED2/RD applicants the favor of posting your stats? </p>
<p>THANKS</p>
<p>Oh my god that is legitimately terrifying. They’ve been sent?! Ahhh I’m never going to get to sleep now!
I’m not exactly sure about athletes, but that sounds right, because the athlete I know who applied early has gotten confirmation from Kenyon that he was accepted. I’m not sure about when/how they notified him, though.
I will most definitely post my stats after I get the letter. Anything to help, right? </p>
<p>Yikes. This is so scary.</p>
