<p>GAH im writing a 25 page paper for AP English</p>
<p>hard to do when you want to check CC every two minutes</p>
<p>any advice on writing 16 pages in 2 days?</p>
<p>^ it’s quite inconspicuous if you increase the size of all your punctuation by one or two font sizes. It’ll add on a page or two, depending on how much you increase the size. It will work even better the longer your essay is.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thanks for inspiration. When I think about it, March 30 really is the best pretext for eating tons of lemon ice cream 
On a more serious note, fingers crossed for you!</p>
<p>I’m waiting for Berkeley next thursday.</p>
<p>Honestly, if I get rejected by Berkeley (I view it as a 50/50 chance), I will lose all hope for March 30th.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha I lol’ed :D. Maybe the teacher will even give a better mark because it was surprisingly not as painful to read as he/she expected.</p>
<p>haha the odd thing is, my teacher LOVES reading these papers.you’d think we were actually writers by trade. he’ll quote us in class and everything. </p>
<p>love him :P</p>
<p>yeah at least i get Vassar and im guessing a few others next week(although i’m not even checking to see when the non-ivies come in, just waiting for letters)</p>
<p>i am REALLY not looking forward to getting my first rejection letter. at all.</p>
<p>The 30th is going to be a big day at my school. I know at least 3 other folks who applied to Yale. One of them lied about her ECs, so I’d be kinda peeved if she gets in and I don’t, even though we’re friends. The main concern for my app is the hastily-written supplement essay. I think that will break me. Hopefully the admissions office takes into account that deferred folks had a lot less time to work on them in comparison to others, though that’s not really an excuse.</p>
<p>^^lol!</p>
<p>I’m not looking forward to a rejection either. I was just rejected from UChicago, so I think I have no chance at all. =</p>
<p>^Once you are at top schools like UChicago and Yale the decisions are largely subjective. Hold on hope! (That is the only way to get into Yale.)</p>
<p>^^Same here, but I was waitlisted. It still feels impossible. One of my best friends got a likely letter from Yale, so that makes me want to get in even more.</p>
<p>waitlisted means you would have gotten in if there were more spaces >.<</p>
<p>I still have a bit of hope, but the rejection really calmed me down lol.</p>
<p>Hey guys 
Now that RD decision date is coming up, I figured I might as well return to these forums. How’s everyone feeling?</p>
<p>I was also waitlisted at UChicago. While waitlisted students might have gotten in if there were more spaces, it still means that we weren’t up to snuff and/or what they were looking for. I guess that’s the aspect which saddens me the most. I think it’s harder too, because it was the first college decision I received besides my state school, and it forces me to question the strength of my application, which I initially thought was pretty strong. Oh well!</p>
<p>Hopefully in 11 days, we can all rejoice :)</p>
<p>^^ Definitely nervous haha. Welcome back!</p>
<p>10 days, 19 hours, 42 minutes</p>
<p>I thought it was bad waiting for SCEA decisions. This is worse. 10 days…</p>
<p>^ It’s terrible that we have to go through this twice.</p>
<p>I hosted the Yale Reach Out Program (7 Billionth Person Project) for 6 Yalies, in my city, and I took them out and got to know them and Yale better. This makes me want to get in so much more.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>100x worse. It is so much more real knowing that this decision is it. Back in December I expected a deferral or a rejection and knew that my college fate probably wouldn’t be decided for several more months. But this time, in the course of a few moments, I’ll hear back from several schools and it really will be over.</p>
<p>Any opinions on whether being deferred SCEA puts one at a disadvantage (or advantage) in the regular pool of applicants?</p>
