REA Class of 2018 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>He seems to have done very well given the opportunities available, at this point its just waiting and hoping, since we’ve already done everything we can.</p>

<p>95 min to go.</p>

<p>Musikman: Don’t panic (unlike me)? Stanford is a reach for just about anyone, so it’s all down to luck now.</p>

<p>When the email comes, we need to take the leap: <a href=“https://31.media.■■■■■■■■■■/ad4b6184cd13b9030d26ebec6f9134a9/tumblr_inline_mxrkadLvac1ql0907.gif[/url]”>https://31.media.■■■■■■■■■■/ad4b6184cd13b9030d26ebec6f9134a9/tumblr_inline_mxrkadLvac1ql0907.gif&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Ugh, the wait is so nerve-racking! Anyone applying from NY?</p>

<p>I’ll be heading to the city for dinner and to watch American Hustle, regardless of the decision lol</p>

<p>So I was planning on taking a nap before decisions, but holy cow, less than 2 hours left.</p>

<p>90 minutes left?</p>

<p>Ugh, just checked the news. Every time around this season :(. Hope the kids recover.</p>

<p>What I’m doing to relieve stress right now is rapping random lyrics.</p>

<p>At least there haven’t been any casualties other than the shooter. Hope the two injured are okay.</p>

<p>I’m catching up on Elementary to pass the time.</p>

<p>Chance me? jk (:</p>

<p>Good luck, guys!</p>

<p>I don’t think there is any way we’ll beat last year’s thread page-wise… :frowning: Fewer people this year I guess.</p>

<p>I think we’re all just too nervous to comment, I think I might throw up. I haven’t eaten all day</p>

<p>Could just be many introverts who choose not to comment</p>

<p>hahah this is gonna sound wierd but im suprisingly VERY VERY calm right now…just got home from school and i thought i did well on my last final… im looking forward to 6pm EST but not too much hahah</p>

<p>btw 1+x hour left guys :wink:
where x is the number of minutes/hours it takes for them to send you YOUR email and how ur email handles it and shows it to you.</p>

<p>One hour left. Heeeeeeeere we go.</p>

<p>I’m definitely going to freak if I’m one of the unlucky few who doesn’t hear back until monday…</p>

<p>We’re counting minutes now, best of luck you guys!</p>

<p>unfortunately, i will not be with yall today from 5:50 to 6:15 atleast as I will be in the car from my friends house to home and Im DEF not gonna check in the car hahah. I will probs wait till 7pm and open it while Im jamming music on my speakers in my empty house haha</p>

<p>Do you guys have rejection plans in place? I’m going to go ride my horse-- always cheers me up plus my parents won’t have time to comfort me equals a win.</p>

<p>How are y’all calm right now? These past two hours have been hell and it’s just getting worse. My stomach is killing me, every flaw in my application is running through my head. Even worse, I have sax auditions in a couple of minutes, which last around 2 hours. I’ll get the decision during auditions and I won’t be able to check until like 6:30. Still worse, my friend just got into Harvard and I don’t want to kill his mood with my denial. </p>

<p>/pity party</p>

<p>So I’m out of my final (failed it, whoopsies) and I was thinking about what made me feel better in decision day last year. My mom sent me this email just a few minutes before 3 (which I was NOT happy about because I thought it was my decision when I got a new email). It ended up being the most calming and comforting thing of the day, so I thought I would pass it along. I’m sure all of your parents and friends and teachers would say this to you too.</p>

<p>Just a quick note to remind you:
You are wonderful
You are loved
You have an amazing life ahead of you!</p>

<p>Mom</p>

<p>I am attempting to calm my nerves right now by listening to music… If I get rejected…I don’t want to think about it, but…I will tell both of my parents, then go into my room, and listen to more music, and let myself cry if it does come to that. Then I’ll eat, start studying for finals that are next week, and get ready to greet my sister who’s coming home 2day from college. Best of luck - really - to everyone!</p>
