<p>I’m happy that everyone on this forum is so cool. We should all be friends :)</p>
<p>No, I haven’t. I’ll try it with sea salt (I don’t really like sugar). And I had <strong>a less stressful</strong> fall. I was cross country captain and going to physical therapy trying to get back in shape by the end of the season so I could run counties and regionals. It’s the worst feeling realizing that everything you’ve worked for can just be taken away with one little injury. It’s okay now though! Where else did you apply besides Stanford? </p>
<p>And that’s really cool! Are alum allowed to write recommendations? And music and math sound like awesome majors! I’m horrible at math so props!</p>
<p>What made me apply is realizing that my parents were wrong. It was the worst and best feeling. They told me not to bother because no one gets in (even though it’s been my dream school since middle school), but when an acquaintance of mine got in ED, something went off in my brain…like a connection. Plus I met a Stanford professor earlier that year which was inspiring! I want to do sleep research and major in psychiatry.</p>
<p>According to tradition, we should receive e-mails about our admission decisions this Friday, March 29th. For the past few years, Stanford has always done this. On the day of, they normally post on their website that “the Stanford Admissions Committee has agreed to release decisions earlier” blah blah blah. Good luck everybody!</p>
<p>Uhhh… let’s see. I applied to Carleton (accepted), Haverford (waitlisted today), Lawrence (accepted dual-degree), Macalester (accepted), Mount Holyoke (accepted), Oberlin (should hear tomorrow), Pomona (accepted but not good finaid), Smith (accepted), Stanford (obviously), U Rochester (accepted), Wellesley (accepted), and Yale. So I actually have the best problem in the world… I didn’t expect to get so many acceptances, but it’s awesome!! </p>
<p>Alums can’t write rec letters unfortunately. Yeah, I love math! Calculus is awesome.</p>
<p>You should always apply to your dream school, even if the probability is slim. And I hope you get in! Prove your parents wrong Of course, I hope everyone gets in, even though we can’t all.</p>
<p>Bummer about your running injury! That stinks. I can’t imagine not being able to play music because of an injury :(</p>
<p>@imthealexx: wait, where did you get that from?
Psychiatry is awesome, kudos!</p>
<p>@smewshie @w0mbats I did sleep regulation research over the summer And I wrote about it too in one of my essays! I’m guessing you guys have heard of Dr. Dement at Stanford?</p>
<p>I am still looking for my first acceptance. Six rejections vs. no acceptance so far. Perhaps, the most unlucky member of CC so far (if not, then the most unlucky cum outspoken member for sure). </p>
<p>I was beginning to feel like a professional stalker, given the number of times I’ve read and re-read every post in this forum without saying anything… and so I created an account and am posting this one “Hi, I exist!” comment - specifically for the purpose of feeling less stalkerish. So, hello to everyone, and I’ve been here all along. Surprise! :)</p>
<p>Hey Emmy, welcome! I’ll share my survival kit with you as well (I’m assuming you know it’s continents since you said you’ve read these posts more than once haha)</p>
<p>So no decisions out Tuesday… I’m thinking they’ll either release them tomorrow (day before Ivies) or Friday (so no one can call to try to appeal even though their website says you can’t. They’ll have Saturday and Sunday to read that on the website). Currently stocking up on comfort food…I’ve accidentally added a box of cannoli to the survival kit <3_<3</p>
<p>I think the fact that we don’t know the actually day is killing at me even more since it could come at any moment! I’ve been dreaming about what it’ll be like to open that email ever since 9th grade, so let’s see how it goes… haha</p>
<p>It still hasn’t hit me yet that I will hear from my top choice this week. Maybe with a 27 ACT a girl already knows the decision LOL. I wonder if I’ll still like them even if I get denied.</p>
It’s okay now though! Where else did you apply besides Stanford? </p>
</p>
unfortunately. Yeah, I love math!
