<p>PLEASE READ THIS THREAD! :D</p>
<p>16 days til all the madness!</p>
<p>@needtoboard I’m pretty sure this is the madness, M10 is the eruption!</p>
<p>Will there be a calm before the storm? @stargirl3</p>
<p>NO. NO CALM. Only an obnoxious buzzing that eats at you from the inside every time you think of the number 10.</p>
<p>My mom told me that on march 9 at 11:56 pm I should play 4 min by Madonna… I am insulted… ._. Why is she cracking jokes at meeeeeeee can’t she see I’m in a fragile state right now… :(( </p>
<p>1,000 posts, stargirl. Woot! How did the anxiety thread make it over here?</p>
<p>Whoever is doing the “TomTheCat” thread for this year…I suggest that you try to keep the formatting as simple as possible. Looking back, a lot of the HTML in individual posts was improperly coded or not recognized…maybe skip the color-conding?</p>
<p>Maybe find a way to title the master decisions thread in a way so folks know it is the all in one but that they may also post in the thread of their prospective/accepted specific schools. I know we will certainly be anxious to connect with others who have gotten in to the same school but I also understand the interest in and value in doing a master comprehensive decision thread.</p>
<p>With college decisions, there are individual stats profiles that can be compared with others on CC who have applied to same schools. Does anyone use that feature for prep/boarding schools on CC?</p>
<p>@Dowzerw: Oh don’t worry, it will be something like THE OFFICIAL MASTER LIST OF 2014 BS ADMISSION DECISIONS…something clever like that. ;-P</p>
<p>FYI, I’m the one who requested that the admins make “unsticky” the old “official lists”…Thought that ops’ “Waitlist” one was still relevant, though.</p>
<p>I love dowzerw’s idea. Maybe someone could plan and start a thread like that for the most popular schools?</p>
<p>I think what is known as the “TomtheCat” (for the Andover student who created one in 2009) thread covers that stuff…see below and let us know if that’s what you are looking for:</p>

<p>I guess it does, but I meant like for a specific school. For example, Andover because a lot of CCers seem to be applying there this year. Everyone who applied there could put out their status (acceptance, rejection, or waitlist) and also comment their stats. It could help any future students notice trends in accepted students for that particular school, and it would be an official decisions thread that people could actually talk on. Just a thought…</p>
<p>I think those threads sort of pop up organically, started by kids who applied to school X…feel free to start one on M10 if someone hasn’t.</p>
<p>Buumpp</p>
<p>FYI, I have drafted the kick-off post for the Official Results thread so we’re ready to go on Sunday. Anything to pass the time…besides of course, that thing called work.</p>
<p>@SevenDad Holy guacamole! You said Saturday… that’s this Saturday!</p>
<p>Edit: You actually wrote Sunday. Oops.</p>
<p>BUMP.</p>
<p>A reminder to the forum NOT to start various and sundry “Official” results threads. One will magically appear on Sunday M9.</p>
<p>And my TomtheCat thread will be posted Sunday M9 as well</p>
