<p>I'm definitely feeling Butternut/IndiaRubber's pain. And, just an FYI, acidic chyme is arguably the best word ever invented in the English language.
It's such a cool word for such a disgusting thing, haha.</p>
<p>March 31st really isn't all that far away... but the horrible thing about it is that it's a Tuesday and the next day we're all going to have face school with god knows what kind of results.
I'm 100% prepared for a lot of rejections on 3/31, so if by some miracle I get an Ivy acceptance, it will feel that much more amazing.</p>
<p>yes that following day will be awful if we're rejected.
i really havent told anyone where ive applied besides my family and very close friends...that way i wont have to explain to everyone how i didnt get accepted.</p>
<p>My family doesn't even know about the online notification dates! That way, I'll just keep it quiet and to myself if I get rejected. As far as they're concerned, I'm waiting for letters (nobody tell them that, please!)</p>
<p>Ugghh, I got a pretty awful story about my school and yale... So I was talking to my friend about college and I told him that I think I might apply to yale. So I end up getting nominated for my school's student of the month. The school's newspaper editor interviewed him and he told him that I wanted to go to yale. That gets interpreted as "I'm going to yale". So now everyone in the school thinks I'm going to yale and I haven't even got in yet. Then to top it all off, when I was being presented an award at the school district's board meeting the superintendant personally congratulated me for getting into yale.... It's all just one horrid game of telephone...</p>
<p>Thanks! At this point I'll keep letting them think I got into yale. If I get rejected then, oh well, I'll just slip off to my second school of choice unnoticed. Or join collegehopefull's french foreign legion extravaganza!!! :)</p>
<p>Icestorm: The same thing happened with me and MIT. I told someone in the morning that I was applying and by the end of the day people were coming up to me and saying "OMG YOU GOT INTO MIT???"</p>
<p>Yes.... rumors, particularly college acceptance rumors seem to spread waayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more faster than who hooked up with who last night....</p>
<p>Lol, that would be the worst thing ever. I am the only person in the world who knows I am applying to Yale. My family would worry me with too much and my many friends would just spread too many rumors.</p>
<p>my problem is people constantly asking if I have heard back yet. I swear some people, usually adults, ask every time I see them, and have yet to remember my consistent response - mar. 31st. Not like it really matters to them, and I appreciate the concern, so whatever.</p>
<p>same problem here! my teachers and the principal are constantly asking me if I have heard back yet. I keep telling them the date , but well ...I guess they have more important things to worry about.</p>
<p>when my family and friends ask me when yale gives notifications
i just blow it off and say "oh like mid to late april".
that way i'll have at least a few weeks to work up the courage to inform them of my rejection</p>
<p>Ugh, people asking everyday is annoying and nerve-wracking, but yeah, I appreciate the concern! :)</p>
<p>I have this one teacher who seriously asks me everyday - "so, did you get in yet?" ... and everyday, I tell him that I don't find out 'til the end of March. But the question comes up everyday no less!</p>
<p>haha, exact same situation here. i completely regret telling everyone that i applied... :( it's just gonna make it that much harder to go to school april 1st after having been rejected, having to repeat it over and over for everyone. i'm a good actress, though- i can play it off like i don't care :)</p>
<p>Hmm, at my school it's not out of the norm to apply to Ivies and the like... I'm in a Linear Algebra class with pretty much the top kids in my grade (I've been with them since SEVENTH GRADE, guys, seventh grade. Imagine the competition) and we all applied to Ivies. So since most of us applied to Yale, the rejections (me) will be normal and the acceptance/s will be OUTRAGEOUS.</p>

<p>For me, replace "one teacher" with "entire school" and adjust grammar accordingly.</p>
