What’s everyone doing to take their mind off this Friday? I personally am just getting very anxious even though I have no control at this point, and I’m trying to focus on class work.

@MysteryMre I have to take a calc test and physics quiz, and then I’ll find out my results (if they do release on Friday), and then I have to go an officer’s meeting for a club for 2 hours, so I’ll probably be a bundle of nerves first and then a bag of sadness afterwards, lol. I’m trying to convert my nervousness into hyper-productivity, and it’s kind of working.

I just had a barrage of tests too last week :frowning: Good Luck however!

@MysteryMre Taking naps and avoiding responsibility, the usual

Focusing on school is the hardest, after my Calc test tomorrow I’m mentally free (which is a problem) until Friday. I have a party on Friday night with a whole bunch of people from school so I’ll be bombarded with questions of the results (hope it’s good news!)

Friday for me = STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT!!! After I read my rejection letter, I plan to play until I can no longer see the screen through my salty tears

You guys are hilarious! Just have to think about other things…it’s really hard @MysteryMre

Does anyone else check their Stanford portal every few hours? lol

I literally can’t focus on anything right now… My mind is a mess lol… I need to get a lot more supplements finished… I have a crap ton of finals coming up… My car is giving me a hard time… And Stanford decisions haven’t come out.

I’m not a person who normally cries, but I think I might regardless of what happens on Friday…

@neoking Describes my situation perfectly. I told friends and family that either way I’ll be in tears.

So is it true that the email will simply say “check the portal?” What was the email like last year? Haha sorry I’m just curious about this kinda stuff and the stress isn’t making it super easy to wait

@December9th2016 Haha, yes!

What am I missing? I thought all early action decisions would be released December 15?

Are you guys opening the decision with anyone around?

I’m so happy our school doesn’t have finals for seniors.

@tjraub1011 Stanford usually releases the decisions early, on the Friday before the 15th; it’s emphasized by how their informational materials say “decisions will be released BY December 15th.” It falls early this year, on Friday the 9th.

@alexameagan21 I’m trying to get my parents to forget so I can be sad alone, lmao.

@AznDude525 Can I transfer to your school?

Honestly, the wait hasn’t been terrible, but I haven’t the slightest idea of how I’m going get through school on Friday.

I can’t believe it’s only four days away! I’m almost positive it’ll be a rejection but I’m still so nervous
