<p>all I said was l m f a o college confidential leave me alone :(</p>
<p>Many classmates have heard me freaking out with friends who applied to Ivies/other reaches. Luckily, most of those classmates were just my group of friends, but I’m still going to be scared of informing everyone of my rejection.</p>
<p>I don’t think you can go anywhere on Earth and NOT find a McDonalds now.</p>
<p>I copied the Results format into a document and filled it out. It helped me relax to give myself a self-evaluation. I’d recommend doing it. Plus, it makes for an easy copy-paste. Still stressed, though, since I have literally spent the last 17.96 years of my life prepping for Stanford.</p>
<p>A classmate in my AP Lit and Comp class got special athletic early admission for nordic skiing to Harvard back in early November. Another girl in that class just recently got her full ride to U Chicago through Questbridge. Now everyone in my school is waiting for Friday which is stressful because only two students applied REA to Stanford: me and another girl. We both really want to get in and I know that it’s going to get ugly if one gets in and the other doesn’t…</p>
<p>Correction: I can’t even walk through the halls without someone asking me if I got in or not… Literally everyone in my high school is waiting to hear this decision. #StayingPositive #SomeThingsAreMeantToBe</p>

<p>Nope, no McDonalds on the campus. The student union area has a Starbucks, Panda Express, Jamba Juice, local student Cafe, and a couple other things. Of course Palo Alto has a McDonalds though!</p>
<p>It just dawned on me that you could’ve you meant the whole post as joke. I don’t get enough sleep.</p>
<p>So I don’t know about you guys, but I haven’t been productive all evening.
Thanks, Stanford. =p</p>
<p>Post #1000!</p>
<p>Ahhhhhh! Hover Dam you, Bluetyphoon!</p>
<p>Kidding.
Congrats!
I will get 1111. Muahaha =p</p>
<p>I’m glad that the release date isn’t until Friday, unlike the Ivies. I don’t think I’d be able to stand coming to school the next day if I got rejected. At least with this, we have a weekend to recover and decide how to face the world on Monday.</p>
<p>Is anyone else starting to consider a career in admissions for some reason? I feel like this is some twisted form of Stockholm Syndrome.</p>
<p>The omnipotent gatekeepters that reside in the mythical land of Montag Hall have control over the futures of tens of thousands of kids all over the world, and I can’t help but find that somewhat alluring.</p>
<p>@orbdas I have the form still collecting responses for the letter here:</p>
<p><a href=“https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11jarERmCF8__3-Sb7U9Uy0Ig5ow7ivNwe-PNlygqcc8/edit?usp=docslist_api[/url]”>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11jarERmCF8__3-Sb7U9Uy0Ig5ow7ivNwe-PNlygqcc8/edit?usp=docslist_api</a></p>
<p>EVERYONE PLEASE COME SHARE!!!</p>
<p>At what point do you think I should post all the collected responses? Should I do it Friday before the decisions arrive or like an hour after?</p>
<p>Brogrammer17: Are you planning to post that in the results thread or in a separate thread? There’s a moderator’s note in the results thread stating not to post anything other than results, even though I think the letter would be a nice starting point for lots of people reading through.</p>
<p>will texaspg get mad cause they were all like ‘no posting of things other than decisions here’</p>
<p>@starmound</p>
<p>The closest one is like a mile and a half away. There are none on campus.</p>
<p>@Brogrammer, wouldn’t it make more sense to post it in like April when we all have decided which college we are attending?</p>
<p>@killbeefgoham I could never work in admissions. You realize that working in admissions would require crushing the hopes and dreams of nearly every applicant? That kid who was bullied through high school, got perfect grades and test scores, and had one dream that was to go to Stanford; you might have to reject him. Soul crushed. Dreams shattered. And he’s left to wonder where he went wrong. He’s not the only one either, you’ll turn down thousands of qualified applicants. All who are worrying, just like we are now, about if they get rejected with a just small glimmer of hope that they might be accepted. That hope will of course be demolished as well. I could never stand to do that.</p>
<p>Maybe the oncoming decisions date is getting to me…</p>
<p>Well since it’s a group effort, I will post it whenever you guys want me to. If we decide to post it at the start of the results thread, I will personally message Texaspg to make sure he is ok with it.</p>
<p>I’ve been lurking for a while and decided to join in the fun. </p>
<p>Is it just me, or does the results thread not have an interview slot?</p>
<p>Wow, this was a super exciting first post.</p>
