Let's Survive the Wait Together

<p>Trixee don't worry, you have to keep in mind that colleges will view each application by it's own merits. Plus this is a new year. I know it's hard to keep a positive outlook (I keep thinking pessimistically), but the wait will be so much more anxiety producing if you compare yourself to others who have applied in the past.</p>

<p>where can see the results from last year???</p>

<p>Each college has their own expectations of what grades a student should maintain after they have been offered admission. I'd try to keep at the very minimum a C in every class to avoid any chance of being rescinded.</p>

<p>Chessie: I'm just trying to get higher than a C in each of my classes.</p>

<p>emory is so ambiguous as to when i'll get a decision.... it's the only place i applied to. if i don't get in, i think i'll go postal.</p>

<p>i really should be studying for my accounting and econ exams, but i've been playing yahoo pool instead. y'all should try it!</p>

<p>My school is in the NCAA tournament, so that for a little while. Other than that, studying, cuz my grades have slipped a bit.</p>

<p>I'm glad I applied to WVU....they're rolling starting in like January, so I have had their acceptance in hand for about a month now. I don't want to go there...but at least I know, if it comes down to it, I won't end up back at my community college next year. My first response...-pulls out little chart he obsessivly made showing schools and their decision dates- April 15th, Vandy.</p>

<p>I feel like I didn't give a good enough explanation as to why I want to transfer, since decisions aren't mailed till April 30th, do you think it's alright for me to write more about why I am so enthusiastic to attend that college, and mail them the letter?</p>

<p>Depends what school. For harvard I sent an "Additional Personal Statement" after the deadline. They haven't finished filing the apps so they will (hopefully) file it. Where are you applying?</p>

<p>I think you should send it.</p>

<p>I am applying to UVA and William and Mary. I really want to get into UVA, but for my "Why am I transferring" letter I only wrote 3 paragraphs and it talked about the good environment that UVA has for a student. I want to write another letters saying that I also like the academics, the sports teams, the Charlottesville area, etc. Is it okay for me to send a letter detailing why I want to transfer?</p>

<p>I'm going to go crazy. I really want to get into USC or Brown and they are the last two I hear from. I finish my finals before I hear back. </p>

<p>So...I am looking at nyc apartments until then. just in case I don't transfer...and they're pretty. and pretty expensive. damn it.</p>

<p>I'd love to know about the four I submitted this weekend, though I still have another three to complete, some of which aren't due until June.</p>

<p>I think I'm just going to go ahead and mail them an extra letter telling them more about why I want to go to UVA. It can't hurt can it? Plus typing this letter up will keep my mind busy for a little bit.</p>

<p>Yeah I think you should send a letter. It's better to send it than feel unsettled because you know that you could have sent it. You know?</p>

<p>Yeah, good point. At least I'll have some piece of mind knowing that I sent it.</p>

<p>45 more days till I find out from 2 of my colleges, and 30 more days for the other. Somehow I think counting the days left won't speed it up. :P</p>

<p>at least another month for me. =/ blegh. lol.</p>

<p>How's everyone else holding out? Now that spring break is over I'm kinda busy with school work. I'm also going to the gym a lot to keep my mind off of the admission. </p>

<p>Everyday when I get into bed though, I always think about the colleges I applied to and whether I'll get in. Lol.</p>

<p>I'm scared to send a "I love Harvard" or "I love Yale" letter becuase i heard they don't even read them because they are so busy. i heard if they're too long or pointless, it counts against you .</p>
