SCEA Countdown Thread to December 15

<p>No one knows… Well, two friends, one rec writer and now my mom. But my mom didn’t know I applied early till the other day, and my counselor doesnt know at all. But the women’s clueless. She thinks I’m an idiot because I sent SAT scores and she only understands the ACT. Told me I should go to SUNY potsdam. I am not in New York.</p>

<p>If I get rejected, I’ll be glad a kept it close to home. If accepted, half my friends might wonder how I failed to mention it while they’ve been griping over their ED decisions since August. But trust me, I’ll take it…</p>

<p>Only a couple of my friends, my sisters and parents, and my guidance counselor know I’m applying early. </p>

<p>I didn’t want one of my friends to know, but she found out when I had my phone in my hand and I and mistakenly opened up my email >.<. She saw the “Single Choice Early Action Interview Email.” She sounded happy when she said “omg you’re applying!?” but she then was like, “if you get in I’ll be happy for you, but I would cry and be mad.” Knew there was a reason why I didn’t want to tell her.</p>

<p>maybe I’m not cut out for yale :(</p>

<p>the real time left is</p>

<p>10 days, 13 hours 15 minutes and 0 seconds</p>

<p>This thread depresses me more than the stats one.</p>

<p>@ lucyloves, similarly funny story for me, my GC switched this year so I have some new woman who’d never met me. I told her Penn State was my safety and she hesitated for a moment before telling me that I “shouldn’t get my hopes up” for PSU because “I’ve seen plenty of people get rejected from there.”</p>

<p>also, has Yale officially said December 15th? everything I’ve seen on their admissions site just says “mid-December.” All my other friends applying to Ivies seem to be getting their decisions on Friday the 9th…</p>

<p>Yeah it’s definitely Dec. 15th haha, don’t go making people even more anxious :P.
A lot of the other ones said mid-December and they would update with what day later, and many have come back saying Dec. 9th or whatever. Yale, however, has said Dec. 15th since the app cycle began.</p>

<p>dangit. I just realized I have at least one friend EDing at Penn, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Columbia. Lucky ducks all get to find out this Friday I think.</p>

<p>Yeah they do…but ours is non-binding at least! That’s really important in my opinion.</p>

<p>One last question…will our decisions be on the same page that we log into now to check our application status or is there a separate page for decisions?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yup!

<p>I don’t think it is in your Eli account. I think you go here</p>

<p>Yeah the decisions page is different from the Application Status page, from what I’ve heard at least.</p>

<p>It doesn’t do hours, but whatever. The shamrocks are for good luck, the snail is because this is taking entirely too long.</p>

<p>I’m almost obsessed with waiting, I have to read a book, study/do homework, watch tv, work on all my extracurriculars and what not just to to not think about it. On December 15th at 5pm I will be at my local hospital in the middle of my shift of weekly volunteering in the maternity ward. I’m going to ask to break the rule of no cell phones while on duty, and as the sound of crying newborn babies erupts around me use the browser on my droid 2 (thank goodness for smartphones) to check my admissions decisions. If I’m accepted I will literally yell, and probably get in trouble for waking the sleeping moms/babies but it’ll be worth it. But if I’m deferred I’ll focus on waiting for University of Vermont and the other 8 colleges I applied to and I’m rejected then I might cry like a baby, but I’ll get over it. If I get in, I’m for sure accepting the invitation. My dad said something really deep to me, he told me - no matter how much it costs I would pay for your education even if I didn’t have a penny saved for retirement.</p>

<p>It’s kind of nerve-wracking seeing that results thread now.</p>
