<p>My problem when I visited harvard is that the students seemed so full of themselves, I applied (parents wanted me to), but doubt I would like it if I am accepted.
@Justadream, I am jealous with your no rejections, I got into 11 schools so far, but rejected at Stanford.</p>
<p>Tomorrow can be a very good or very bad day, lol. “THE DAY OF RECKONING”.</p>
<p>T-18 hours lol! i’m getting so nervous now, i’m most nervous for Penn though because i got deferred in December, and i just read that Penn’s admit rate this year was like 14.2%, which i’m thinking means i have no chance :/</p>
<p>^^^ there is always a chance. I will pray for you. Actually, I just did.</p>
<p>Awwww thanks for the encouragement I really do appreciate it. And now I’m gonna say a prayer for all of us lol ;)</p>

<p>Thanks alot for the encouragement everyone, I’ll be praying for you all too! ;_; Omg Less than 4 hours left…</p>
<p>And Mouse, I know what you mean. I’m not very optimistic but that’s what I keep telling myself to keep myself sane.</p>
<p>Its D-day for our seniors. God bless you and good luck make us proud!</p>
