*The countdown thread*

<p>I'm sick of not knowing.</p>

<p>Go Columbia people!</p>

<p>I'm super worried b/c my friend who applied early apparently "isn't home."</p>

<p>The phone convo:</p>

<p>Her mom: Hi?
Me: Can I talk to X?
Her mom: Who is this?
Me: Lingbo.
Her mom: X's not available right now. Can I take a message?
Me: Yeah, um, just wanted to know how it went with Columbia.
Her mom: Well, I'll let her know you called honey. (hangs up)</p>

<p>...</p>

<p>AHHHH.</p>

<p>I still have no idea how two of my friends did in terms of their Columbia decisions. I'm just going to wait for them to tell me.</p>

<p>MIT in two days, yes? Saturday will be anxious times for a lot of people in my school.</p>

<p>Yeah, MIT is out 12:00 EST on the ninth, I believe. </p>

<p>And turns out my friend was deferred! With a 35 ACT! I was so surprised.</p>

<p>Anxieties are running high this time of year. I'm positive I'll get a deferral so I feel kind of relaxed, almost. I have a nice birthday dinner planned with my best friend that i don't see often for Saturday to take the edge off the deferral and he promised that no proper nouns beginning with "H" will be uttered.</p>

<p>What are you guys planning on doing if you get deferred to cheer yourselves up?</p>

<p>One week? Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!</p>

<p>I find myself growing strangely apathetic as we draw closer and closer. It might just be a subconcious preemptive defense mechanism or something because, barring divine intervention by some supreme being, I am NOT getting in.</p>

<p>But is anyone else feeling less enamored with the school, or am I really weird?</p>

<p>You guys aren't focusing on the important stuff- do you realize that tomorrow is the 26th anniversary of John Lennon's death?</p>

<p>7 days, friends...</p>

<p>how exciting!</p>

<p>no kidding.</p>

<p>missuspeel, I find myself grappling with the same emotion.</p>

<p>I will go to a party after the decisions come out. So, I can forget about that one email.........acceptance?..........deferral???.........rejection??????</p>

<p>Why can't we find out now like the Columbia-ers!??!?!</p>

<p>i am kinda apathetic merely because i dont think i have a chance to get in. I even dont have an interview:(...and it seems that the interview is selective in my country-</p>

<p>Well people, I am feeling optimistic overall. I think that these boards have the overall tendency of making admission to Harvard seem like an "impossible possibility". Sorry to burst your bubbles.....but I am getting in.</p>

<p>(Just in case I don't, my school has a party that evening.......but what I am thinking??..Gosh....what if.... oh my God now I am freaking out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!)</p>

<p>MOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>i bet moviebuff gets rejected.</p>

<p>no. worse. he gets deferred</p>

<p>Well .....stalker (clearly not that innocent..). Like we say where I come from, "Maldiciones de burro, no llegan al cielo".......</p>

<p>"Like we say where I come from, "Maldiciones de burro, no llegan al cielo"......."</p>

<p>Oh boy, a chance to try out my rusty Spanish skills...</p>

<p>Quadrilaterals from donkeys, don't spell to the elephants?
Twelve-year olds from equestrians, don't wear soup?
Websites from El Paso, don't try ice cream?</p>

<p>Dammit, I've forgotten all of it since high school.</p>

<p>In my humble opinion, neither of you are acting like adults. MovieBuff, you're a little arrogant assuming you'll get in (though good luck!), and whether or not you do get in, it's not good to flaunt it. Innocentstalker, that's just a nasty thing to say. This is a stressful time for all of you, but there's no need for that.</p>

<p>(Easy for me to say, I suppose- I just finished my midterms and I'm not all that stressed).</p>

<p>JUST RELAX ....hahaha: relax, college admissions...oxymoron...</p>

<p>but really :P I find it hilarious when people get all angtsy :P</p>

<p>just remember yall. trix are for kids.</p>

<p>trix are for rabbits, genius</p>
