<p>i did the music piece optional essay, but i'm afriad it wasn't good enough. It's so hard when you think you did something great and that you're proud of, but then when someone else sees it and they are like this is crap. Hopefully this is not the case for all our optional essays.</p>
<p>I'm kind of terrified about Tuft's decision because it's my first choice and it's a reach for me. I was just waitlisted at wesleyan and of all the reach schools I applied to, I thought that that would be the one I was most likely to get into. It just makes me think I don't stand a chance at being accepted at Tufts.</p>
<p>Hey NeuroticSenior, don't worry too much in the short-term about Wesleyan vs. Tufts. I'm sure they select students based on slightly different criteria. And secondly, don't worry about Tufts either! You'll be happy wherever you end up.</p>
<p>I'm confused--does anyone know what exact time Tufts is releasing decisions today? At 5 PM EST?</p>
<p>no no, 3 PM EST, online Mar. 31</p>
<p>March 31? Oh...blah...I thought it was today. Thanks.</p>
<p>It was March 30 last year, I believe, so some people were predicting that it would be March 30 this year again.</p>
<p>We have had the official word that it is Monday, so no need to speculate: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1060056567-post50.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1060056567-post50.html</a></p>
<p>thanks bluirinka!</p>
<p>for the optional essay, i did "Somethings not right"</p>
<p>and I wrote a scary , E.A. Poe type story lol</p>
<p>think that will help/hinder?</p>
<p>jorr08 -- Sounds interesting! But obviously we can't tell you without having read it... if you put in the effort, I'm sure that reflected in your essay! In any case, you'll know in less than 24 hours, so just hang tight for a little longer! :)</p>
<p>less than 19 hrs</p>
<p>This is the final leg of the journey...Waiting till after school is going to be painful. Anyhow, good luck to you all!</p>
<p>16 hours...........</p>
<p>15 hours...........</p>
<p>Maybe the time we have left will seem shorter if everybody just thinks of something else. Frankly, nothing has ever made an hour seem longer than the person next to me slowly counting down every minute.</p>
<p>Just, you know, throwing a suggestion out there.</p>
<p>let's all go on the onion's site. that's funny stuff.</p>
<p>zamzam, you're a genius</p>
<p>I love the Onion. A+ for humor, joel.</p>
<p>no kidding. and google "stuff white people like." being your typical jewish white male (at 5'2", so I get plenty of laughs, it's awesome), i can authorize everything the site says as pure fact.</p>
<p>Insert random "hey i'm from denver" plug here.</p>
<p>less than 12 hours :)</p>
