<p>gah that's like next Saturday..so anxious !!11</p>
<p>Lol, Time's Arrow, I've stalked the previous thread too. >.></p>
<p>I think it [the deadline] was the 22nd last year. So we should be hearing [our results] about the same time; probably Friday, I suppose, because it'd be two days earlier, ideally. Does the decision come by email?</p>
<p>^ Oh my god I did that too...</p>
<p>But last year people people starting getting decisions on the 10th not the 15th right?</p>
<p>haha sry I might have been looking at two years ago... that thread spans a couple of years right?</p>
<p>Lol. You know I was just thinking how it'd be if we all get accepted. Finally the beings known as Time's Arrow, coin, tomjonesistheman, me, bookworm, we all get together at SSP. That would be so awesome to get to know each other in person.
I mean at least I won't picture entropy instead of a girl when Time's Arrow replies to comments. ;)</p>
<p>Haha, that would be so cool, QuantumArbiter! We'll know each other on the first day and everyone will wonder why until we're all, "oh, we met on College Confidential!"</p>
<p>... that only looks a little nerdy! Ahaha. =P</p>
<p>haha that's what happened to us two years ago :) we made a facebook group and all.</p>
<p>hey everyone! A latecomer here. I just finished up my essays. I must say the conversations over here are quite interesting.</p>
<p>Quote- Finally the beings known as Time's Arrow, coin, tomjonesistheman, me, bookworm, we all get together at SSP. </p>
<p>Looks like I'm not the only one who knows I won't get in :p</p>
<p>Meeting everyone would be amazing and strange at the same time. And how could we explain what CC is without appearing to be super-nerds? ;)</p>
<p>@gary - I'm focused on the power of positive thinking right now. And on how to limit my OCD email-checking :)</p>
<p>Welcome to our merry crew, velleity.</p>
<p>@book_worm Lol, I wasn't serious. If I didn't think I had any chance why would I be applying from a far far continent?</p>
<p>Oh, btw can anyone tell me if SSP has any weightage in college(basically ivy and above) apps? If it doesn't I'll have a pretty hard time convincing my parents to lemme go if I'm selected :(</p>
<p>haha, the incessant e-mail checking! i thought i might be the only one! </p>
<p>and just putting this out there, we all applied to go learn celestial mechanics this summer so I think the "appearing to be super-nerds" thing is unavoidable! lol</p>
<p>Haha, positive thinking. I'm trying for that too. That and distracting myself with the guitar.</p>
<p>gary7, I've heard it's good for Caltech, but I really don't know. I'd imagine it'd be good, especially for the colleges it's affiliated with.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and I've been getting really nervous every time I get an email, too. Probably this week, guys. At least, that's what I'm hoping.</p>
<p>Time's Arrow, this is most definitely true. haha.</p>
<p>The email thing, you can't be worse than me. I'm having exams at school, but still I'm <em>forced</em> to wake up at 5 and open my PC first thing in the morning, check my mail and then this thread before doing anything else. Its kinda become a daily routine hehe</p>
<p>So does anyone actually know when they are going to send responses to us?? I'm hoping its soon but I'm not really sure....</p>
<p>is it at all harder to get in if you send in your app right before the deadline as opposed to on feb. 27?</p>
<p>^ I was wondering about that at first. I really did not know there was an early deadline. I just saw a regular deadline on the website.</p>
<p>I don't think anyone knows whether applying by the first deadline helps your chances.</p>
<p>By looking at the past year's threads, it really didn't seem to matter - some people were accepted who applied just before/slightly after the final deadline. </p>
<p>It's torture coming home to find that I have two new emails - both from my GC. AAAHHHH!!! :)</p>
<p>Hey Hey!! I have this all planned out.
First you let all the super nerds apply to the first round. Then they can knock each other out.
Then you covertly apply to the second round. No competition here!! hehe I'm so sneaky ;)</p>
<p>@gary7 - My appologies!! I am so sorry I didn't include your name! Condemn it!!</p>
<p>apparently i guess no one thinks im gonna get in D:. and if i dont, ill be spending the whole summer picking flowers from a haystack.</p>
<p>how do the early people not know whether theyve gotten in yet :O</p>
