<p>On the fence I’d say, because your grades are average for Stern and your ACT is slightly below. Your essays and statements plus competitiveness of the other applicants will be the deciding hook. High target to low reach.</p>

<p>even with ED1, my chances are really low?</p>

<p>I emailed an admissions officer and I found out that we won’t find out from LSP or any other college until the 15th. Dammit.</p>

<p>is anybody else’s portfolio box still not checked off on albert?!?</p>

<p>how many people live in ny?</p>

<p>D’s portfolio is still not checked off. But I know the art department received it because they sent a confirming post card and I have a certified receipt from the post office.</p>

<p>I am assuming it is not a problem and have not called.</p>

<p>Did anyone else realize that the decisions are going to be e-mailed in about…a week and two days. ****, this is the same days as Northeastern and UChicago; its either going to be a very good day…or a very very very bad day.</p>

<p>@rycoldburn10 : completely agreed!
9 days to go. So nervous.</p>

<p>and thus begin the worst 9 days of my life…</p>

<p>hopefully followed by the best day of my life?</p>

<p>sooo much stress and anxiety.</p>

<p>I swear I spend more time nervously scrolling through threads on here than working on my homework… These 9 days need to speed by!!</p>

<p>I AM SO NERVOUS GAHHHHHHH i just want to know already!!!</p>

<p>9 more days to dream about possibly living in NYC</p>

<p>I know! 9days …next Thursday is the day!!</p>

<p>What are you guys gunna be like at school next Thursday? I won’t be able to focus at all…</p>

<p>I have two tests on Friday… I’m probably going to do terribly regardless of whether I get accepted or not. If I get in, I’ll be too busy celebrating to study. If I don’t, I’ll be way too depressed to bother studying. :P</p>

<p>i’m thankful that next thursday is my last day of school before break. i only have two classes that day, no quizzes no tests.
lucky me! haha</p>

<p>@eljamas</p>

<p>On Thursday, I’ll be exactly what you explained! I’ll be so unfocused during my finals that day and then Friday I’ll either be so excited I won’t be able to focus or be so depressed that I won’t care…</p>

<p>I hope we all get in!!</p>

<p>Got two tests on that day
Decision is at 2pm for me
I’m gna be going to the washroom a lot</p>

<p>Truly hope we all get in</p>

<p>I’m going to have the worst week ever. I have auditions for our spring musical on Monday and Tuesday, with callbacks on Wednesday and Thursday (During which I will get my email because it comes at 4 for me)… And then Friday the Cast List goes up and I have to go tell pretty much everyone I know whether it not I’m in… I think that’s going to be the worst part. Telling everyone if I get rejected.</p>

<p>ugh ugh 9 days…
By the way do any of you guys know what the title of our admission decision email is?
If it was something like Sorry Student I’d throw up while opening my email box :P</p>
