The COUNTDOWN

<p>I have an idea! Let's all do some meditative breathing... Breathe in for four counts, hold for four counts, breathe out for four counts, hold for four counts; then repeat about five to seven times.</p>

<p>:) relax :)</p>

<p>I think I've written that before.........</p>

<p>I could write what it's like to get a rejection too if you guys want...but I don't know that from experience...</p>

<p>sparticus800 has 2400 as his post count. hehe</p>

<p>oh sparticus800, please do that!</p>

<p>haha ya what does the rejection look like? anyone know?</p>

<p>Nope, sorry. I'd imagine not good. The online acceptance letter has a huge congratulations on top. Good luck to all you nervous people.</p>

<p>hmm its going to be something mean like YOU IDIOT YOU HAVE BEEN REJECTED BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME in huge red letters ahhhhh i forgot about this whole ED thing until i logged back onto CC thanks everyone</p>

<p>Sigh I'm so worried. T_T
The only thing I have going for me is that I'm applying EOP.</p>

<p>What's EOP</p>

<p>education opportunity program. it means he lives in new york and has a very good shot because of it.</p>

<p>i'm jealous. i wanna be in the EOP thing. i hate being on the west coast. except the cali weather. :)</p>

<p>haha i LOVE the west coast, what are you talking about...</p>

<p>biggest cornell minus = the snow</p>

<p>i grew up here where there pretty much aren't seasons, and people go surfing any time of year. </p>

<p>yeah, the deferral is going to be like "sorry, we had a big applicant pool, look forward to april... SUCKER" that would make me cry ahhh </p>

<p>ok,here we go meditative breathing</p>

<p>Haha, meditative breathing.. I really should do that as I had half a mind to call up the admissions office this morning and demand my results. I don't know. I keep thinking about rejection stamps.. do they really have those big huge stamps with REJECTION across it, or is it just something in the movies (if you know what I'm talking about)? haha.. think about it... your application might already be sitting there, accepted or rejected.. and you just dont know about it.</p>

<p>SCARY!</p>

<p>I could freak you guys out more, but I'm feeling nice this morning/afternoon.</p>

<p>go for it we can take it</p>

<p>hopefully those rejection stamps don't exist. eugh. two weeks is NOT a long time!!!!!! i'm so anxious but at the same time don't really want the date to come, you know what i mean?? ok</p>

<p>day of, you all better come and post your decisions. and there better be a string of "ACCEPTED!" or we will start a crusade to tear down those adcoms with their little concrete tables / light bulbs / angry grumpy old men</p>

<p>yeah...that's a really GOOD idea.</p>

<p>rejection letters are like "we had a very competitive pool, sorry we were unable to offer you a spot" or something like that. They don't give you your app back with a big red NO on it. :D but that would be soooo funny/mean.</p>

<p>haha, yes the letters look like that.. but think about your application, sitting in a trash can with a big rejection stamp on it... those hours spent behind that essay gone to waste! AHH, haha I don't know why I do this to myself.</p>

<p>When I get my rejection, I'll copy and paste it to some thread on here so future Cornell applicants won't have to wonder like we are... I'll post my reaction as well. I'm envisioning tears and disappointment.</p>

<p>Boooooo!!!</p>

<p>oh, calm down, people, it's out of your control, you did what you could...some of you are getting in</p>
