<p>How am I going to wait 19 hours… in my country the release time is in the morning…
I am not sure if I will be able to sleep…</p>
<p>@corndwg, that post was really comforting. Thank you. 19 hours left!</p>
<p>I don’t know what happened, but suddenly I’m so apathetic that it scares me. Normally I get an unpleasant jolt of panic when I think about the email coming, but I’m literally not reacting right now even when I imagine the first line being a rejection. Eh, maybe this will come in handy tomorrow so I don’t break down at school.</p>
<p>@ Aegise (I love your username btw), I think apathy is a good thing, no matter what happens. I can feel myself slowly reaching the apathetic stage but I’m still nervous.</p>
<p>I only wish the best for all of us. What a great Christmas present this would be 
I’ve been shaking for a few hours now, too haha.</p>
<p>Very true. Happiness comes from within, not a specfic college (as cheesy as that sounds). Thanks,@jeffwalker1996! =)</p>
<p>In honor of there being only 19 hours left, here’s one of my favorite Stanford Athletics 19 Hours videos… [19</a> Hours : Stanford Women’s Basketball “Nerd City Kids” - HD Version - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
<p>If it makes you feel any better, I knew a kid who applied RD a few years ago. His family decided to take an impromptu spring break trip to California to visit Stanford’s campus before decisions came out (he was pretty sure he was going to get in). He was actually on the tour when he checked his email and saw that he had been rejected. Basically, no matter what happens tomorrow, at least it won’t be as sucky as that.</p>
<p>One of my family friends was not accepted by Stanford after HS; he took his safety school-San Jose State U. 7 years Late he graduated with honor from Stanford Medical School. He said he cant remember anyone he knew going to Stanford that year was accepted by Stanford MS. He is our local medical community leader now. And he doesn’t believe undergraduate school matters too much. He said whatever you want to achieve
is totally dependent on yourself; don’t count on a college to determine your life or give you too much a lift.</p>
<p>My close friend just got into Columbia. The bar, is, set. hahahah I’m so happy for her :D</p>
<p>Bulldog2017, You have given a great gift in your post #1138, one that I printed and taped to a chair next to my student’s bed tonight. S has an NFL qualifying tournament in debate tomorrow and will be in rounds when the decisions arrive. S’s sibling is at Stanford and it seems to be much more stressful to be the sibling trying with the pressure of ‘what if they took my sib but not me?’ I’m sure all of the posters appreciate what you have shared. Blessings!</p>
<p>Yeah, my brother got accepted to the Ivies but not Stanford.
Now he’s at Stanford’s Medical School.
Speaking of which, for the sibling part of the Common App wheere it asks what college your sibling is attending, I put Stanford. But now I’m beginning to think that they were asking about undergrad. Do you think the admission officers would care that I put his grad school instead of his undergrad?</p>
<p>They do mean undergraduate. But you did not lie to them. They didn’t make it clear. So it’s not your fault.</p>
<p>****…</p>
<p>Edit: Oh, okay. I just hope they realize that I didn’t intentionally lie. Haha
Thanks, phantomboy!</p>
<p>So were they completely done making decisions when they announced the release date and time?</p>
<p>Visualizing rejection is actually pretty comforting… I know the world won’t be over
But visualizing acceptance hurts because I know chances are I won’t get in 
So I’m focusing on the negative right now haha</p>
<p>@starmound, they release the decisions at 3 PST.</p>
<p>I guess that all things have been done, decisions made. Letters probably will be in the US Mail baskets tomorrow afternoon.</p>
<p>feeling surprisingly calm right now</p>
<p>Dawn of the Final Day
(Less than) 24 hours remain.</p>
