Official EA Countdown Thread!

<p>I think that I am going to be sick due to lack of sleep/nervousness/I cant eat because of this waiting!!! I can't stand it. And yeah, did I mention I am SO nervous. Are you guys feeling the same thing?</p>

<p>--Lauren</p>

<p>EXACTLY the same, Lauren! I swear, I can't even concentrate on my schoolwork. I feel like I'm going to throw up from nervousness, and today, I was home sick due to a migraine (I get them a few times a year when I'm extremely tense. Hmmm, wonder what I'm so tense about...) Anyway I think these are the two most stressful, nerve wracking and all around crappy weeks ever!</p>

<p>Ah! Same here. I just can't take my mind off of it, and I make myself nauseous by thinking what my chances are. But I keep forgetting to realize that the process is over, and I can't do anything about it. They've probably made all of their decisions. </p>

<p>BTW, where are you from??</p>

<p>Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>--Lauren</p>

<p>Yep, you're right. It's TOTALLY out of our hands at this point. Now we can only hope (and fill out other applications, which is so hard to do right now. I cannot wait until all this is over and all the apps are sent!) BTW, do you know where else you're applying? </p>

<p>I'm from New York (unfortunately- talk about an overrepresented state!) What about you?</p>

<p>Good luck to you too! I swear, I'll be just as disappointed if others on this board aren't accepted as I will be if I'm not. </p>

<p>-Lauren</p>

<p>I'm from Louisiana, a (thankfully) underrepresented state at Georgetown. </p>

<p>So far, I've only applied to Georgetown, LSU, and Tulane. I am in the process of applying to George Washington University and American University, but (of course) I'd much rather go to Georgetown. What about you (in terms of colleges)?</p>

<p>Yeah, this waiting, it definitely sucks. Blaaaah. </p>

<p>--Lauren</p>

<p>Oooh, lucky you! Louisiana, that's awesome. </p>

<p>I'm sort of freaking out about my college list right now, because I think I might be aiming too high. I was already accepted into the U. of Mich (Ann Arbor) Honors Program, which I was excited about because that was a safety school I would actually love to attend. So I don't really feel like I need another safety, although I did apply to U. Wisc @ Madison. But anyway, the rest of my list is: Stanford (yeah right!), U. Penn, Brown, Tufts and UVA. I just wish I had another true "match" school, because all of these seem like either "high matches" or real reach schools.... </p>

<p>-Lauren</p>

<p>Wow!! That's awesome though. To go to an out-of-state college, it seems to me like you ahve to be extremely dedicated, and you are applying to a bunch of schools! Good for you.</p>

<p>As for me, I don't feel like I have any other match schools, because I have to be in a big city to keep me occupied all the time, and I also do not deal well with extreme cold. So, you know, that leaves room for D.C. schools or maybe somewhere in San Francisco, but I'm content with applying to 3 DC area schools.</p>

<p>Which school did you apply to at Georgetown?</p>

<p>--Lauren</p>

<p>Hey your list is pretty great too! I applied to the SFS, and I'd love to major in international politics. What about you? What do you want to major in? </p>

<p>-Lauren</p>

<p>Lauren and Lauren -- Whoa! :P</p>

<p>Woot. Go Laurens. Haha.</p>

<p>Lauren,
I applied to the college. I'm very interested in going to law school after undergraduate, so I am interested in majoring in psychology (what my dad did before he went to law school) or political science.</p>

<p>--Lauren</p>

<p>Less than 13 days!!! (hopefully more like 10)</p>

<p>I'm so scared. It's all I think about. I've got everyone in my youth group praying for me... I could go for some divine intervention right about now.</p>

<p>God bless you. </p>

<p>Gesundheit.</p>

<p>Le'Chaim.</p>

<p>I'm going to bed.</p>

<p>They really need to sell some sort of nausea-relief for college applicants. It's so weird...as I read these boards I just tense up and feel ill.</p>

<p>I'm working on my columbia/brown apps right now and it is killing me. I can't concentrate before I know about Georgetown.</p>

<p>I'm from a tiny town in CA, 5 min from the oregon border. I'm applying to Georgetown SFS, Columbia, Brown, Reed, Lewis and Clark, UC berkeley, and Tufts if I get deferred from GTown (and I don't kill myself).</p>

<p>I should be studying for my SAT II's, but no, I am surfing the college boards. so sad.</p>

<p>I gave up on my other applications all together- I just couldn't focus. Hopefully I'll get in, so I won't be killing myself with apps from Dec. 15th to Jan. 1st!</p>

<p>Assuming you get in, what other colleges will you be applying to? (This question is directed at everyone).</p>

<p>If I get in, I will apply to Brown, Yale, Harvard, and possibly Dartmouth (just for fun, since I'd already be in at G-Town).</p>

<p>PS- I can't believe it's already December- the same month we get our decisions!</p>

<p>If I get in Georgetown, my money's going to Georgetown for a deposit. No chance in heck I'd go anywhere ele.</p>

<p>As incredible an opportunity as it would be to go to the Naval Academy/West Point, I'd go ahead and make a deposit at GT if I got in. There's too much good stuff going for GT not too! i.e. internships, study abroad, NROTC, great location, ability to start a network in DC...</p>

<p>But someone said something further back on this board (I think it was this board, anyways) that made a lot of sense. CCers tend to be major over-achievers, so we all need to remember that there's quite a few people out there that have a lot lower scores than everyone here. I try to keep that in the back of my head as I nervously await my acceptance/deferral letter.</p>

<p>Oh, and thank you Netshark. :)</p>

<p>No problem. Good luck to everyone, it would be great if we could all do a CC reunion at Georgetown when (if, damnit) we get in.</p>

<p>I just wanted to let you guys know that I received my EA decision last year exactly on the 15th. I think they put those stamps that say, "To be delivered on:", but I'm not completely sure. My home is in Arizona so the date might be different depending on whether you live on the East or West Coast. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Ahhh!!! 13 (or maybe even as few as 11!!!) days left! </p>
