<p>Also, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. That being said, it's obviously not the end of the world if I don't get in.</p>
<p>I don't think that I'm nervous...more that 1) I HATE suspense. not nervous, but suspense kills me, just TELL ME NOW LOL... 2) I really don't want to work on apps now if I'm getting in :P (I'm just sick of this application procss)</p>
<p>I agree, Earth-dragon. I've been trying to work on my apps all Thanksgiving break... no luck so far, and school starts tomorrow. ;)</p>
<p>WOW! VERY EXCITED! SO EXCITED! </p>
<p>College application process: So much pulp! so much ink! so imperfect! so indelible! so irritating! so bonfire worthy!</p>
<p>yeah, this won't happen because it's natural that you will all want to have a vigil with your emails on 12/15 after 5pm, but if you really wanted to assure its arrival, you would check your email at 6pm instead of 5pm. By 6pm, a very high percentages of the emails will have arrived.</p>
<p>17 dayz ay caray</p>
<p>I should really stop telling people I'm applying here.</p>
<p>^
Same. All my friends think that because I'm val I will get in for sure. And then I'm like NO its NOT THAT EASY!!! Aaaaaaaaaah</p>
<p>^^ That's why I haven't told anybody that I'm applying. My counselor, my parents, and the two teachers who wrote my LORs are the only ones who know I applied SCEA.</p>
<p>
This year we're going to Switzerland... there's definitely no snow where I live.</p>
<p>one of my friends hopes that I won't get in because he promised that he would shave his head if I did (as a bet).</p>
<p>Please get in...</p>
<p>Yeah... back to telling people, EVERYONE KNOWS. It's freaking horrible, but all my own fault. I just fess up so easily.</p>
<p>Sometimes I say, "le grand hache" (well, however you write the pronounciation of H in French) because I hate saying it out loud.</p>
<p>Harvard. Harvard. HARVARD. The look on people's faces!</p>
<p>when does result come out? 15th? ahh I won't know about people's result for 2 days!</p>
<p>Ugh, if you think that having people know you applied to Harvard is bad, it gets much weirder if you get in.</p>
<p>After I was accepted last year, I had this freshman follow me around for a month- every time he saw me, he'd congratulate me. I had no clue who he was!</p>
<p>But whether you get accepted or deferred (and by the way, I was deferred before being accepted RD, so I know how it feels), be sure to keep a sense of perspective. If I see one post on December 15th with the words "My life is over," I'll lose it.</p>
<p>Seriously- once I discovered the vast array of wonderful colleges out there, I was almost happy I'd been deferred (I was accepted to almost all of my other colleges, and it was actually difficult to turn them down). Really- keep some perspective.</p>
<p>What's more, the more you watch this countdown thread, the harder waiting is going to be. I know that a few weeks ago it was going fine, but I'm sure you've noticed that time feels like slowing down. It gets worse- much worse. The last three days feel like a month. It's better if you don't think about it too much- it also makes it less of a disappointment if you're deferred.</p>
<p>This is completely irrelevent, but I like how this morning I completely forgot my SAT II results were in today. But I guess apps will be a totally different story. April 1st... I can't even wait for April 1st even though I have't finished 1/10 of my applications yet!</p>
<p>Thanks for saying that about the SAT IIs 123orange. Sweet! Better score this time, great news for someone who stinks at taking math tests!!</p>
<p>Maybe the fabric of space-time is slowly warping as Dec. 15th comes around... that's just how momentous these decisions are. ;)</p>
<p>I'm seriously starting to get over this decision thing, although my freak-out-mode is waxing and waning. Sometimes I feel hopeless and sometimes I'm like, eh, big deal. Lots of people get rejected from Harvard. Practically everyone who applies to Harvard gets rejected from Harvard. I will be in excellent company - people far smarter than me.</p>
<p>Notice how I'm already assuming I'll be deferred. :D I find it keeps me sane.</p>
<p>Spacetime is always warping. Jeez and you wanna go to Harvard.</p>
<p>Hahahaha... I think he knows that- he's just using relativity's terminology to describe a psychological phenomenon.</p>
<p>Incidentally, the vast majority of people I know here at Harvard aren't familiar with special or general relativity (I know that because I can never resist the urge to explain it to them).</p>
<p>On the other hand, you're probably joking...</p>
<p>I'm a girl. And I'm not afraid to admit that I didn't know that. I would think not all people at Harvard know everything there is to know and don't live in fear of making a joke that may be literally incorrect but at least true in spirit. :)</p>
