<p>Time does pass faster that way, but when I DO think about it I just need to know how much time is left. I can check and move on, and most of the time that makes my internal thunder storm all better. :)</p>
<p>@emenya, I’d be completely fine with that lol.</p>
<p>Countdowns are the bane of my existence… but they are also a necessity. Agh. I feel like I can’t talk to any of my friends about Stanford because they’re all reassuring me that I’ll get in, but I know I most definitely won’t. Even when I tell myself that I won’t get in, I still cling to that tiny piece of hope preventing my falling from the edge of the depression cliff. That day will be rough; I already know. I just really hope that I get into UMich though. At least that can make up for my expected downfall.</p>
<p>We’re all so alike. I applied to UMichigan too. I think that we all love a school that has a really good football team, a great engineering department, and a great business minor. </p>
<p>I hope that I get into UMich if I get deferred or rejected by Stanford. </p>
<p>Turns out I’m super duper talented at positive visualization…imagining realistic possibilities (ie rejection)? not so much. I cannot go there right now…but I know I have to! Ugh. X_X </p>
<p>are all those who applied to UMich from Michigan? Cuz I am</p>
<p>@infinitygirl23
I wish. That in state tuition… With the exception of that, I’d be satisfied with going to UMich. Everyone I know who goes there is happy.</p>
<p>I have also been lurking for the past few months 
finally got an account so I could join in on the conversation!</p>
<p>Oh and I also applied to UMich! Also, according to naviance, 21 kids from my school have applied to stanford…sigh. One person has been accepted from my school every year for the past three years…</p>
<p>Out of 16 kids in the last 7 years, one has been accepted from my school. That was 5 years ago.</p>
<p>@mtnclimber I’ve been dreaming. About stanford basically every night and it’s killing me. I’ve also been counting down in my head because it just helps to know.
My friend applied to MIT early and they release decisions “mid December” so she had no clue. yesterday she got an email from them and could barely open it. Turns out it was just to tell her to expect the decision next Saturday. So now she finally understands my pain of knowing the day. </p>
<p>@detwylder
I downloaded a countdown widget for my phone… yeah. I’m that kid.
I feel like I’ll either open it immediately or I’ll have to force my friend to open it for me. He applied EA to Harvard through their conservatory, so we’re both waiting.</p>
<p>Hey CC experts 
A close friend applied ED to Yale, and just found out that decisions will be released on the 16th. Does this mean at all that Stanford could release later, or not on the 12th?
Thank you!</p>
<p>@Govgirl
I really doubt Stanford cares when Yale or any other school releases their decisions. I think Stanford said they’ll release them on the 15th, but historically they seem to send them out earlier. I’m expecting something on the 12th or 13th.</p>
<p>@Govgirl That’s not good news. Now, there’s a high possibility of Stanford releasing the decisions on Monday, December 15th. Also, Yale has SCEA not ED. </p>
<p>@ryanryanryan Actually, according to gravitas, Stanford likes to release their decisions on the same day or after their east coast rivals release their decisions. </p>
<p>@Hawkace, you’re right! SCEA. My mistake (the pressure’s getting to me!)
But while what you say makes sense in the context of what else I’ve read, I can’t help hoping you are wrong! haha</p>
<p>edited for spelling and such</p>
<p>Hey guys! A new lurker coming out of the shadow and into the light (trying to paint a majestic image). Anyway, its been exciting reading all your posts these past weeks, and I’ve truly learnt a lot about this whole process, and about who you guys are. </p>
<p>Im Lebanese, applying REA to Stanford. This wait is nerve-wracking. Hope we all get in!</p>
<p>@Hawkace
Really… That’s kinda dumb. I would think that they’d rather release early so that people can start imagining themselves there before anywhere else.</p>
<p>Well a couple extra days won’t kill me.</p>
<p>Wait so decisions on December 12, 13, 15 or 16? #soconfused</p>
<p>Really? They’ll kill me…</p>
