<p>ED decisions are about three weeks away.... i'm sooo anxious and i'm not motivated in the least to do any other applications. In three weeks i will know if i got into the school of my dreams and if the past four years of hard work have paid off. I just felt like sharing my overwhelming anxiety and wanted to see who else is worrying as much as i am. Hopefully on the 15th i'll be down at the book store picking out a couple of hoodies :)</p>
<p>I'm in your boat. The tension is killing me. 23 very long days remain</p>
<p>Count me in!</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK! GUYS!</p>
<p>17 days.
I have never wanted anything so badly in my life.
This is my dream and at this moment it feels like the only next step that makes sense.
When I am home my Penn sweatshirt does not leave my body... of course I won`t wear it out untill I hopefully get in.
Goodluck.
Hope to meet you next year</p>
<p>Same here.
Except now I'm giving up hope. Is it just me, or does anyone ever think about the little parts of their application and wish they could've changed something? That's what I'm constantly thinking about, so I don't think I'll get in. Maybe I'm just stressing and overthinking, hopefully.</p>
<p>I really want a Penn sweatshirt.</p>
<p>I have those moments constantly... but what`s done is done...</p>
<p>dumbblonde -- when i apply for penn (or another college if i change my mind somehow) i will feel exactly like you! like i'm a junior in HS and will apply next year but i am already freaking out... >.< please let me know how it goes!
i wish you all luck!</p>
<p>Ooh I try not to wear my Penn shirt at all...bad luck (I wore it only during the interview & when the regional admissions guys came to our school).</p>
<p>yeah isabella I think about that a lot (maybe I should have smiled more in the attached picture?)..but hey, what can ya do?</p>
<p>If you go to Wellesley, you'd practically be in my backyard 0_o</p>
<p>i couldn't fidn a good photo to attach :/ you think that actually weighs in at all for admissions? lol i'm not an ugly kid but i dot nsee how a picture should be a factor at all.
i know exactly how you feel about penn being the only place for you, and about all the little flaws on your application, i'm loosing sleep because that's all i think about!</p>
<p>ugh 17 long days. Nothing extravagantly happy has ever happened in my life so if i get in it would actually be my happiest day :) </p>
<p>Do any of you guys live within drivign distance of the school? because if i get in i'm spending the day on campus and stocking up on penn clothes</p>
<p>I care, but I'm not really nervous. I realize that I have >10% chance of getting admitted, so I'm not really going to be crushed if I don't get in.</p>
<p>Well the photo itself doesn't affect your chances, but I personally spoke to my regional admissions guy a couple of times and he recognized me after the first time.</p>
<p>Basically I attached the photo for the 10% chance that he remembers my face.</p>
<p>agree with hpandu,
my chance is <1%</p>
<p>not a bad idea with the photo then, i never got to meet my regional admissions rep. Since i live right in the suburbs of philly, pretty much every single good student aspires to go to penn, so just the fact that i got an interview was huge</p>
<p>At first I so superstecioud that I wouldn't even look at Penn attire... but I was there and decided I needed a sweatshirt to wear to school on monday the 17th just in case I get in. Wearing it makes me feel good bacause it is really soft and because if I don't get in I will never look at a Penn sweatshirt the same way. Considering that I have gotten chills everytime I have passed anyone in a Penn **** for the past 9 years I figured I owe it to myself to have a Penn sweatshirt in my closet.</p>
<p>Thanks for the well wishes Chair2. You rock.</p>
<p>A little birdie told me that the photo mattered a whole lot and that's why Stetson's not there any more.</p>
<p>how many of you guys sent in photos? i really hope it means nothing in the process because i just didnt think to send one</p>
<p>the common app was really retarded about the picture thing so i just didnt bother</p>
<p>"A little birdie told me that the photo mattered a whole lot and that's why Stetson's not there any more."</p>
<p>AWWW snapz.</p>
<p>speaking of pictures...
lol I sent in a highly airbrushed senior picture. Come to think of it, the rep I met might not even recognize me. =P</p>
<p>I couldn't find a good picture of just me so my really cute little cousin in it.</p>
<p>i regret just not sending one in the mail now, i couldnt get commo napp to accept any pictures because they were all to large so i just said screw it. So now they might think i'm some uber ugly overwieght kid 0_o</p>
