<p>If somebody has the discipline to work on essays for other colleges right now, I admire you. I told myself I wouldn’t be so nervous, but that didn’t work out so well.</p>
<p>
I know what you mean. I have finals on the 14th, 15th, and 16th. I don’t think I’ll do so well on the ones that are happening on the 16th lol.</p>
<p>11 days, 3 hours, 3 minutes.
AHHHHH.</p>
<p>…? isnt it 11 days, 11 hours and 43 minutes??</p>
<p>celestialteapot, me too! (Getting decisions at 6:00 AM on last day of finals). I don’t know how I’ll be able to focus, no matter what happens… Man, I hate that phrase. “No matter what happens.” It’s like I’m giving myself false hope, when really I should just be trying to mentally prepare myself for the inevitable deferral. :/</p>
<p>Am I the only one who’s checking his Eli account everyday, secretely hoping that there will be some kind of bug on the Yale computer system that will make it release the decisions early? :p</p>
<p>^ Guilty as charged.</p>
<p>me too! im checking my account multiple times a day. I log in, close my eyes, open them and get disappointed every time… well this can’t be healthy but i cannot stop :P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve been checking my Eli account everyday since I got it, Charleh. (Even just to see the reassuring green check marks). I think you’re in good company here. :p</p>
<p>@quomodo, everisen: The worst part is that basically everyone in that class knows I’m applying to Yale. And so they’re going to ask me. Which is fine if I get in, but…:(</p>
<p>11 daaaaaaaaaays</p>
<p>Holy butt, that’s soon. :O</p>
<p>I wish it would come sooner.</p>
<p>10 days 21 hrs 40 min</p>
<p>@celestialteapot</p>
<p>Yeah. I was just imagining the result of my decision spreading like wildfire (cliche! oh noes!!!) throughout my ENTIRE school.</p>
<p>■■■. Seriously, if I get rejected, ■■■. If i got accepted it’d be pretty cool for everyone to know though, lol. 
A girl can dream…</p>
<p>ikr?!?!</p>
<p>So many people know i applied, and now I’m gonna have to tell all of them i got rejected or deferred, which will be a bit of a thorn in my side.</p>
<p>^ Haha. Nobody other than my family, counselors, and a few teachers knows the whole list of where I applied, including Yale. :X I think that’s my way of lessening the blow of rejections when the time comes around. Plus, I’m a little paranoid that if I widely proclaim where I applied/want to go, karma will work against me or something. It annoys the crap out of my friends, though, because I refuse to tell them. Hehe. (:</p>
<p>Some people are asking me if I got into Yale yet. The use of the word “yet” just makes it even more problematic.</p>
<p>Basically everybody I know knows. This is due to my telling my close friends, slightly less close friends detailing out their whole list and asking me mine, all of those friends telling people, and random teachers (actually, mostly substitutes) asking the ENTIRE class where they applied so that i really couldn’t say no. Rejection would (<em>cough</em>will<em>cough</em>) kill me when all those people find out. oh and i have that problem of people saying, “oh, you’ll definitely get in.” NO I WON’T! IT’S YALE!</p>
<p>^ same EXACT situation for me. At first I tried to not tell anyone, but then one person found out then other people wanted to know, and now everyone knows. 
and everyone says “You’ll get in.” or “I have a good feeling about it.” Gahh, they just don’t understand.</p>
<p>OMG ditto to everyone’s comments. People that I almost never talk to you are like “OMG you’re so getting into Yale!!” and I’m just like “Um…have you ever been on CC?” =P</p>
<p>Hahahaha I think this is extremely common, because the exact same thing happens to me!
Pretty much good SAT or class rank, and people assume that. Ah if only it were so…</p>
