SCEA Countdown Thread to December 15

<p>I’m guessing the Questbridge applicants find out at 5:00 EST today?</p>

<p>^Yup. It was rough this year, too. My friend was a QB finalist and didn’t get into any of her four ranked schools. I thought she had it in the bag…</p>

<p>So in 15 minutes I guess? I hope their (your?) dreams are fulfilled :)!</p>

<p>13 days, 21 hours, 39minutes and 35 seconds</p>

<p>^^^ Did she apply to schools that require an EFC of 0 for the match?</p>

<p>Guys. GUYS. TWO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS</p>

<p>Two very long weeks…</p>

<p>I just found out today that I have a piano lesson on the 15th. At 4:15. And I have to leave my house 15 minutes early to get there on time. And decisions come out at 4.</p>

<p>HOW ON EARTH CAN I WAIT ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF AAAAAAAAAAA</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I have no idea. I’m quite ignorant of the Questbridge regulations myself, but I can ask her. But I don’t want her to feel bad for making a dumb mistake, if that was the case.</p>

<p>fgsfds: Be late.</p>

<p>@fgsfds, check it and then bolt out the door (try to get over any overt joyful celebration or any overt crying and despair quickly). Let’s be honest, you will not be playing well during your lesson if all you’re thinking about is Yale. =P</p>

<p>Although even if you check, you’ll still be thinking about Yale.</p>

<p>Solution: screw piano. This is yale!</p>

<p>Well, if decisions end up coming out at, say, 4:20… at least you won’t be sitting at the computer refreshing a page every ten seconds!</p>

<p>Yeah, haha. I might be distracted at piano, but if I checked before I went and somehow got in, there is absolutely no way I’d be able to focus. At all. Whatsoever. And if I got rejected or deferred, I’d still be thinking about it all through piano. I’m kind of screwed either way, but delayed gratification is the best kind, right?</p>

<p>I’m going to break so many traffic laws driving home from piano. omg.</p>

<p>^“This just in: Yale acceptee dies in tragic car cash moments before viewing his decision online.”</p>

<p>i’m sorry, sick sick humor.</p>

<p>XD I thought about that right after I posted it. No apology necessary.</p>

<p>Or maybe: “Yesterday, a student was arrested for going 115 mph in a school zone. When asked for comment while in jail, the student’s only response was, “YALE. YALE YALE YALE” while foaming at the mouth and rocking gently back and forth.”</p>

<p>Screw piano. Either have an impromptu party (if you get in), or stay home watching depressing movies (deferral/rejection).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You could turn to the other inmates to console you after a deferral/rejection. Or perhaps a fiesta in the prison cell after an acceptance?</p>

<p>My parents are going to be out of the country this month. I just might throw a party if I get in…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>"GUYS. HEY GUYS. I GOT DEFERRED/REJECTED FROM YALE. MY LIFE IS, LIKE, OVER.</p>

<p><em>shank</em></p>

<p>or:</p>

<p>“GUYS. GUYS. I GOT INTO YAAAALE!”</p>

<p><em>shank</em></p>
