<p>esa te quedo buenisima, innocentstalker...lol</p>
<p>I'll be tutoring someone at 2:00pm (PST) on 12/15 and my piano lesson is at 5:30 -____- </p>
<p>Plus, my MIT interview is the next day.</p>
<p>Aznxboy1228, I know that exact situation! I don't get out of school until 4 central, then I'm playing a Christmas piano concert at 4:30, then I'm running my Choir's annual Progressive Dinner (with 200 students) starting at 5:30! AND its finals week and my Calculus and Spanish finals are on that day! I don't know how I'll stop from exploding :)</p>
<p>Oh, God save me...</p>
<p>10 DAYS LEFT</p>
<p>Is this making anyone else sick to their stomachs?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm babysitting that day until the late afternoon and then I'm helping out with a NHS movie night thing for elementary school kids that is <em>supposed</em> to start at 5. I have a feeling that I am going to be a bit late. In fact, I have a feeling that I am not showing up until I have an email.</p>
<p>haha all i know is that after i get the email, my friends and i are going out for ice cream to either celebrate or cheer up</p>
<p>I feel quite calm.</p>
<p>i bet my friend $200 i wouldn't get in.</p>
<p>at least i have something to look forward to december 15th :)</p>
<p>Haha. That's great.<br>
aznxboy1228: Cool! I'm applying to MIT too! My interview is Wednesday.</p>
<p>this week is going to feel like watching a plant grow..........oh so slow........oh so painful..........oh what is my admissions decision</p>
<p>I think the hardest part for me is knowing that they've probably already decided and it's on a piece of paper somewhere just sitting there.</p>
<p>Well, I hate to add to the general anxiety, but mine just went thru the roof. I just talked to someone who was chosen as a Presidential Scholar during spring 2006 and who got rejected (not even deferred) during EA last year!!. Presidential Scholars are one male and one female roughly per state chosen on the basis of academic performance mostly. What the heck?!!?</p>
<p>In looking at 2010 EA thread, I did not see too many of the acceptees, listing National Merit Semifinalist status as one of their accomplishments. Does anyone have some feedback on this?</p>
<p>^They probably just didn't include it as an accomplishment, because to the ivy leagues, nmsf just isn't something that's going to do much (as compared to other stuff like siemens or intel)</p>
<p>Yayyyyyy single digits!</p>
<p>I want to go to Harvard, please.</p>

</p>
<p>Well, since you asked nicely...</p>
<p>Also, aznxboy- if you're a national merit scholar finalist, it's a good idea to list it- taking away achievements based on some misled idea of "not enough for Harvard" is ridiculous.</p>
<p>And everyone- CHILL ABOUT HARVARD, IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD IF YOU GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>Personally, Harvard has been something intangible that I've always wanted, but after doing a ridiculous amount of research this past year I really feel that it is the school for me.</p>
<p>I really want to go, but I'm not going to slit my wrists or anything if I don't. :-$</p>
<p>This is kind of exciting. I have something to look forward next week regardless of the outcome. For me, it was an honor just being able to apply to Harvard. I never imagined that I would even be eligible to apply to an ivy league school. It's funny how high school transforms (for better or for worse) people. </p>
<p>I like Harvard College a lot. When I was doing research I found that it had the most of everything that I wanted for my college experience. However, I was also able to find other colleges that I would be very happy to go to. </p>
<p>I'm not really sure how I would react. It hasn't happened yet . . . and I'm bad at guessing how I will act.</p>
<p>haha, wouldn't it be terrible if the sun went out on the penultimate day?</p>
<p>the sad thing here is that if college admissions were destined to last on earth (or for humans, etc.) forever, then the sun will go out while someone is a sitting duck. It is possible for the world to end while someone is eagerly awaiting their admissions results for college. As morbid as it sounds, if college admissions were impervious to extinction, then why not? Although, I've always hoped that the world would end when all the people had left and earth was only a mass of beautiful ruins. Just a silent haven for micro-organisms and viruses. Then the sun would go out. Eight minutes later it would be complete and utter darkness. And if this were a scene from a book or a movie, some very sappy reader or member in the audience would be weeping sheepishly. </p>
<p>Just a nice little stroll on perspective.</p>
<p>these 9 days will be torture</p>
<p>Haha, it's not the end of the world :P</p>
<p>I just want to know if I have to do other applications...</p>
