***Official Stanford RD 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread***

<p>Two weeks? That’s a long time for something like this :p</p>

<p>@ermsypermsy</p>

<p>I agree!! I’m not even nervous because this is so unreal…
I think I’ll get nervous starting next week…</p>

<p>If they send me an acceptance letter and say anything along the lines of ‘april fool’s! REJECTED’ I’ll sue Stanford for emotional damages D:</p>

<p>^ L.O.L</p>

<p>+10chars</p>

<p>i think Yale accidentally sent 10,000 acceptance letters on April 1st one year by accident, caused a conundrum…</p>

<p>Something that really gets my stomach in knots is knowing that our fates are probably already decided by now… we just don’t know them… AH.</p>

<p>^ shouldn’t that make you less worried?
Decision has already been made–come what may?</p>

<p>It makes me all the more anxious really! :O</p>

<p>It’s unhealthy how many times I check this forum. However, it does a fairly decent job of calming my nerves. A little under two weeks and I’ll know where I’ll be next year. AHH!</p>

<p>Anyone know the softest brand of tissues? I’m going to be crying either way so I’m trying to stock up.</p>

<p>smewshie, you just made me laugh :slight_smile: I’m up late right now checking the forums, too. I’m still waiting on 10 college decisions so I’m slightly worked up about it :stuck_out_tongue: I’m not sure what the softest brand of tissues is, but I’m a faithful Kleenex fan :wink: I’m right there with you, I’ll probably be crying on a couple of these.</p>

<p>Good! Maybe if I get rejected I can become a comedian. You know what else is funny? I only applied to 3 colleges. Stanford is my first choice and the last one I hear back from. Good luck on yours though! I hope you get in :slight_smile: Are you getting them all on April 1 or earlier?</p>

<p>I’ll try to find the aloe Kleenex, thanks!</p>

<p>@smewshie: Thanks for bringing some humor into this… if it weren’t for people like you, I think the world would go through a lot more facial tissues… :smiley: Best of luck with Stanford, though!</p>

<p>I’ve decided to come back on decision day and share my aloe tissues and jokes with you guys since you’re being so nice :’)</p>

<p>1 week, 4 days, 15 hours…yes, I have a countdown on my phone</p>

<p>Do you all have acceptances in your hands now of schools that you’d be happy to go to, or will Stanford’s decision date, and maybe Ivy day, be the sink-or-swim decision day for you? I do have an acceptance to a school I would be happy to go to, so I THINK if the last 3 decisions are denies, I will be a little disappointed, but otherwise fine.</p>

<p>I’ve got nothing in hand so far. Applied to Stanford, Yale, Amherst, Oberlin, Barnard, Vassar, Bates and Grinnell and I’d be jumping up and down for an acceptance anywhere. I should be notified by them starting in two days so I’m getting pretty nervous.</p>

<p>I got the full-ride&more scholarship at my state university, so that helps assuage a lot of anxiety. Although I’m extremely thankful for that option, I still really, really hope I have more choices by April 1st. Good luck, everyone!</p>

<p>The April 1st date is obviously not happening. It’s going to be March 29th/March 30th.</p>

<p>Good luck to all of those who don’t want to get in, for only the undesiring deserve.</p>

<p>^ I would be delighted if it were the 23rd haha</p>

<p>For me it’s sink or swim on Ivy day-- although I probably shouldn’t put this on the Stanford forum, I’m totally going to Yale if I get in there. I really do love Stanford though, it’s just less close to heart because I’ve never been there.</p>

<p>@MisaMysa: wow, ambitious :slight_smile: I’m still waiting on Oberlin, too, have you heard anything about that?</p>

<p>Frankly, I just wish all the schools would give us a concrete day other than “before April.”</p>

<p>I’m surprisingly not thinking about decisions as much as I thought I would be at this point!</p>
