The Countdown

<p>8 more days and 1 half-hour for all of us in the east who are EDing to Brown…</p>

<p>so I thought I would make a forum to just converse; maybe it’ll help relieve some stress? Nah…</p>

<p>I'm not worried about not getting in, I mean, I'll only have to
spend about $300 on apps
write several essays
take some SAT II's over
asked for extra recs again
bust my ass to have a stellar first semester
tell everyone that I didn't get into my dream school</p>

<p>so it's not that big of a deal.</p>

<p>Gosh, 8 days! That's so far away yet so close. I'm trying to keep my mind off of it but I can't, I'm just so nervous! </p>

<p>But man, $300 on apps? How many schools are you applying to? lol</p>

<p>ill probably spend more that 300 on apps....after Brown ***** slaps me I'm applying to several other schools in hopes of finding one that may actually accept and/or like me</p>

<p>Here i thought i was cool</p>

<p>Yea I gotta apply to like 5 more colleges if I don't get in; all of my apps revolve around Brown lol</p>

<p>I make myself not think about the upcoming decision. Of course I'm anticipating it, but I don't want to dwell on it and then be greatly disheartened and depressed (I hope not, duh.). However, everyday I come home from school and check the status because I'm neurotic. I'm developing a minor case of OCD.</p>

<p>^^ Hahah, I do the same thing. I keep thinking that they're gonna post the decision early but obviously that's not gonna happen lol.</p>

<p>ugh i'm going crazy. my best friend applied ED to columbia nad i think they email on thursday....i am soooo jealous</p>

<p>Haha OCD? Maybe you should have developed it earlier cuz its a hook on college aps.</p>

<p><em>butterflies in stomach</em> </p>

<p>AAAGGGHHH!!! 8 really LONG but really SHORT days!!!</p>

<p>i've actually been obsessed enough to look through the course lists and everything</p>

<p>its all sitting on brown... everything.... EVERYTHING!!! </p>

<p>btw. if this helps. what ever is meant to happen will happen. If you get in great. If you dont get in, maybe because there's something better for you to find out there. maybe -_-o</p>

<p>yes 8 days</p>

<p>and i somehow misplaced that letter with the account info
so i have to go phone them for it lol</p>

<p>I know what you mean...I keep looking at courses and the AP policy to see what I'm going to take "next year at Brown", so I'm setting myself up for the greatest disappointment in my life/</p>

<p>i dont know what i will do.. wow. doesnt it feel like nov 1 was just yesterday? all of us on here asking last minute questions.. and now we are all about to find out.. ahh the stree is unmanageable</p>

<p>the hardest part if you don t get in is having to deal with everybody that asks you and you have to tell them you were rejected.cruel society! it's even worse if all your friends get in their top school! but that never happens.</p>

<p>um.... 7...days T_T
i wanna go into a coma for the next seven days and wake up when they post the results.
this wait is waaaaay worse than any wait i've ever had....</p>

<p>i wonder what it will look like on the page where you check your status online.. im picturing the words REJECTED in like size 48 blinking in red w/ an audio clip screaming "hahahahahaha".. that would suck. seriously though, does anyone know what ti will looks like.. a simple one word answer or like a copy of the letter they send out?</p>

<p>hey, this is my first post, but yea, i figure if i dont get in i can handle it, cause ill get in some where else, (even though fillin out like 10 other apps over break will suck, and i mean, brown is the best), and if i do get in there isnt much i have to handle.
its this week long wait thats goin to kill me</p>

<p>Someone told me that for the yale online acceptance there are fireworks and an animated bulldog that runs around on the screen. I wonder if it will be anything like that...haha. Seriously, though, I totally pictured the huge red REJECTED too! that would just be cruel...</p>

<p>lol like some flash animation:</p>

<p>"Congrats! You have been...whoops...rejected. Thank you, come again!"
lol</p>

<p>ahhh. reading this makes me want to cry.</p>
