<p>Yeah, hahaha... I'm seeing all my ED-er friends getting into AMAZING schools! And I kind of regret I applied RD, but it wasn't like I had a CHOICE in the matter (my Dec SAT scores, argh lol)... but yeah. They know they're going to go to college and we have to wait around until April! This suuucks, hahaha... </p>
<p>You can tell I'm a very impatient person :( :(</p>
<p>One of my closest friends just got into Harvard... and I have to wait until April to hear anything besides my state uni. I hate it. I shouldn't have finished my applications so early. I have been in limbo since october. </p>
<p>Argh.</p>
<p>I hope I get in to one of my reaches... or this limbo will feel like a waste, haha.</p>
<p>My friends can practically not do any work now and I have a bunch of college applications to do on top of work.
I got into my safety, but come on, that's soooo not like getting into a reach school early.
I really chickened out and didn't apply early because of binding crap and insecurities and money...
UGH</p>
<p>I don't mean to kill the atmosphere because I'm one of those ED kids BUT I have to say that I really envy how RD applicants actually get choices.</p>
<p>This has really been bugging me for the past few days. When I applied, I understood the commitment I would be making if I got in, and I was willing to do it. But now that I'm actually called to take up on that commitment, it's really scary.</p>
<p>It's pretty depressing knowing that come April, many people around me will be picking and choosing, but I'll never know where else I could have gotten into.</p>
<p>My point is that there's something to be jealous about either way.</p>
<p>While I do sort-of get where demeter's coming from (I'm another ED kid, but am totally happy with a commitment), the only thing I'd regret about not applying RD is being able to choose from financial aid packages. I'll be fine regardless, I think, but it would be easier with different RD acceptances.</p>
<p>I'm glad I applied ED: I'm so impatient too! Haha. There's no way I could've waited until April. :P</p>
<p>when i hear people got in ED into the college of my choice I'm just like "ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" lol. and I'm aplpying RD and its KILLING ME! lolbut i know that when i do get it, nothing will bring me down. Unless of course they send another letter saying "just kidding. ur rejected"</p>
<p>I hate all the ED-ers at my school, because I'm the only one who hasn't heard back yet! We heard from Dartmouth on Friday, Boston on Tuesday, WashU Tuesday, Northwestern Tuesday...</p>
<p>And I'm still waiting on Brandeis. And everyone (five students) got in except one, who was deferred. So I'm thinking that this is too much of a good thing and I'm going to get rejected. Especially because the best my school ever does is UIUC, maybe once every few years we get a kid into Northwestern. Something's wrong with my graduating class.</p>
<p>I remember I hated everyone so much for rolling admission schools (UMich...I'm instate and we usually send about 60 kids there). And then when people got into their ED schools...I was even more *<strong><em>ed. Stupid UMich deferrred me back in like November. Then after I was supremely *</em></strong>ed off after all the ED decisions on Friday and I decided to randomly check online on Friday to see if UMich like messed up my app or somethign and decided to accept me. Imagine my surprise when I saw a "View Decision" and clicked it to see "Congratulations!"</p>
<p>I applied RD to all to have more choices. I'm not feeling too jealous though, because I've heard from all of them except two, one which I'll hear from in late Jan./early Feb., and one that I won't hear from till March. However, all the ones that I've heard from are rolling admissions, so that's why. I'm already in my first choice school with a full ride, and I knew mid-November, so I think the ED kids were all jealous of me!</p>
