<p>@beatlesforever-I have the same situation! I know backstage I will be texting my mom (when she isn’t at the show) ‘did it come? Is there a FedEx truck on our street?’</p>
<p>@PreppyDude123-I remember a previous thread about this and I think (please correct me) Exeter has ‘Decision for Admission’ as the subject, and most other schools have something similar. Neutral subject lines may be frustrating, but they want you to read the letter and not just get excited for admission and feel bad if it is a rejection. </p>
<p>My March 10th timeline:
1am-I try to get back to sleep after nightmare of being chased by postman while not being able to open the silly envelope, and when I finally do the teacher calls ‘Time’s up!’ and I realize we were taking a test and I didn’t write down anything and I accidentally hand in the envelope instead of the test and I can’t get it back to read it so I sit in the corner by the door and cry.
3am-Do we have ice cream? Ooooo, hot fudge
5am-Goodmorning CC!
5:45am-‘Mom?’ ‘mmhmrmh’ ‘Mom???’ ‘pshmmh’ ‘MOMMY!’ ‘what?’ ‘pretty pretty please logon to your e-mail-no don’t sleep! hey, give me your password and you can sleep! mom? Mom???’
5:55am-‘Dad! Please logon to your e-mail and let me see my admission decision from Exeter! Hurry! No, your computer is too slow-use mine. Thanks!’
6am-Whereisitwhereisitwhereisitwhereisit-ITS HERE
6:01am-Victory dance-who needs sleep?
6:26am-I am reminded by my mom that most people need sleep and could I quiet it down please?
6:34am-Remember the others I know who got their decision(s) and text them
6:45am-Ready for school in a new record of<em>looks at stopwatch</em> well, not a record but I was distracted!
7am-Start walking. Get up the hill before my parents call and offer to drive me. Oh well!
7:15am-Finish skipping to school
7:16am-7:45am-Dance around the hallways, stopping only when people who didn’t get the same happy news go by
8am-11am-Ehh, class-can’t concentrate because I am overwhelmed with joy
11am-12pm-Lunch=call mom and ask if anything came in (because our mail comes in the afternoon), realize she is at work, call dad, realize he is at work
12pm-3pm-Classes, with my luck probably a test or a pop quiz which I will ace because I am going to a boarding school next year! <em>crosses fingers</em>
3pm-11pm-Play BUT at 5 call my parents because Hkiss is up then!
5:04pm-Victory dance, part deux
10:30pm-Bows & wash off makeup
11pm-Homework? Lucky I did it ahead of time because my teachers are wonderful!
11:14-Goodnight to CC/killing time waiting for my snail mail
Sometime in the future-Final dance as I have been accepted to all three of my amazing schools!</p>
<p>I just plan on waking up at midnight, checking my e-mail
and then… checking my e-mail when I wake up for school…
and checking my e-mail during spanish… and math… and ELA
and then my mom picking me up with a bunch of big envelopes in her hand
… hopefully :)</p>
<p>Awww… Good Luck To Everyone! Dramaswimmer, you have a really detailed schedule! Hope you make it. A week and 5 (or 4) days, so close everyone. Again, good luck (though I’m sure most of you really don’t need it).</p>
<p>has anyone whose applying to sps gotten their login id and password? they said mid/late february but its the 28th and i still haven’t gotten the email!!</p>
<p>on March 10th though, I have tri-mester tests -_- neither of them on that day are that hard <em>knock on wood</em> but still I’ll be freaking out the whole time!!!</p>
<p>Wait until March 1st. If you don’t get anything by the 1st, then you should either call them or email your interviewer. Don’t worry too much though.</p>
<p>I got my SPS login through actual mail… not email.
It could just be your distance from SPS that’s keeping you from getting it. I would wait a couple of days and then e-mail the admissions office.</p>
<p>This is getting really intense. I sometimes find myself staring at the clock, and when the minute changes, I think, “One minute less till the decisions come…”</p>
<p>After much soul searching, I have decided to go to school on M10 after all. I don’t want my neighbors to lament that that noob kid chasing Fedex truck on bike ends up going to XYZ Academy/School. As a strong bs candidate, I have to put up as much maturity as I can, particularly when people are watching. I will however try to take as many bathroom breaks as humanly possible to work on emails,texting and calls to keep myself most up to date about where I am going. I am wondering if I should have a muzzle ready in case my giggle may get out of control.</p>
<p>I have varsity tryouts that day, so I’ll probably do terribly. Both of my decisions will come post-3:30 PM, I think, so there’s no way to find out before I can get home. </p>
<p>So here’s my schedule:
Wake up
Stress for 7 hours
Softball until 5:30
Get home
Celebrate/Cry</p>
<p>My Schedule:
Wake up and check my Exeter decision.
If accepted, go out for breakfast with my mom, and then go to school.
If not, I’ll just go to school.
When school ends at 3:10, I’ll check my SPS decision under the guise of checking my email.
Mother doesn’t work on Thursdays so she’ll pick me up.
Then, I’ll just wait for PA and DA.</p>
<p>My Schedule:
Wake up, eat breakfast. Try not to check my SPS decision.
Go to school for first three periods, then after that go to a field trip.
Get back from school, go to crew.
Crew ends at 6pm. Go home, check decision from SPS and look to see if I have any mail.</p>
<p>Nothing special. The fact that I have a field trip on M10 is nice.</p>
<p>I decided to wait until after school and look at the decisions together with my parents. They have supported me on this journey and it only seems fitting to share the final steps with them. I think they are honored that I asked them to be with me, they know I could login and get the decisions earlier in the day or open up the mail. They are both leaving work early to come home. After we find out we are going to out to dinner. No matter what the outcome I plan on thanking them for their love, support and belief in me after we open the last notification.</p>
<p>6 am : wake up, check the web for Middlesex & Exeter decisions
7 am: go to school
noon: run out of band class, bolt for the library and check SPS decision
3 pm: go volunteering at local library
5 pm: go back home, check mail + rest of decisions!!!</p>
<p>i wish i had the self-control not to check my decisions before/during school. i’ll be a nervous wreck… but i’m still super excited for m10!</p>
BUT at 5 call my parents because Hkiss is up then!
