<p>Although I didn't apply SCEA to Stanford with you guys I just wanted to wish you all so much luck. I think you'll find out your decisions sometime when I get mine for Harvard SCEA. But I'll tell ya, I'd much rather share my joy slash lament my sadness with you guys. I think I've mentioned somewhere how much I'd rather forget I am even identified with the kids at the Harvard forum.</p>
<p>I know the calm before the storm is coming, but we have to remember that no matter what our letters say we've still all got friends here! This is the best forum on CC with the best kids, so through it all, as cheesy as it sounds we have to remember that we should stick together.</p>
<p>I know we'll all end up where we're supposed to be, some place nice, and hopefully warm.</p>
<p>Nice optimism, I hope that all works out, I've been looking over some of my old essays and am wondering what I was ever thinking, needless to say, ive gone back and forth with confidence for that decision and its on the lower end right now. But w/e, sh't happens.</p>
<p>"same, and the more i try to work the stan essays to fit the more i remember how very much they suckkked to begin with"
Soooo true. And then they suck more when you try to adapt them. Argh.</p>
<p>Ahhh...procrastinating... My situation is made even worse by the fact that pretty much no one at my school is even bothering to apply to private schools (either UCs or community), making me seriously doubt my own reasons/chances for applying :(</p>

<p>WORD. All my friends are done with apps now, and making me feel crazy jealous and awful. That's why I love you fellow CCers. =D</p>
<p>I'm really starting to stress out over all the little things I did wrong when I first submitted my Stanford app, such as putting down "Piano Level 8" instead of "Piano for 6 years" (not that it'd matter either way). As for the all-important essays, I'm starting to tell myself repeatedly that I made many many errors in them, so that I actually have to go back and reread some of them to persuade myself that "Hey, things aren't so bad!" (except when I read one of my essays and began stressing out over having used the same adjective in 2 successive sentences - something else that probably wouldn't matter). </p>
<p>When I turned in my app on October 31st I told myself that I can forget about the Stanford app for 6 wks and relax. I was clearly wrong.</p>
<p>Even if it's a reject, I want to at least find out, try not to cry about it, and move on. And if that is the case, I hope I'll at least be luckier for HYP.</p>
<p>One thing I really really wish I had done was not procrastinate. I did my essays the day before they were due & they turned out pretty bad. I know I won't get in but I'm still glad I applied EA. I've learned not to procrastinate so much!! And a couple of other tids and bits. I think I should have done my essays during the summer or something!</p>
