The Early Action/Decision Waiting Thread

<p>All of my Early Action colleges are academic safeties, but I’m worried about what scholarships I will get. I’m in the sad middle class, so I need some good merit money ;D.</p>

<p>I’ll get really nervous when letters start coming for regular decision schools. I REALLY want to go to Rice :l</p>

<p>Gooooooood get me out of this purgatory. I’m basically sold on Georgia Tech, and I’ll most likely go there if I get in…but I have to wait to find out for so long. So long. And I can’t get my hopes up too much because you never know, I mean I’ve gotten good signs (they invited me to a football game for free for their president scholarship thing) but still…I HATE HATE HATE not knowing, and I still have more than a month left.</p>

<p>Gaaawd. High school is beyond pointless right now. Just doing enough to make sure that I get all low A’s, or at least only one B, just in case that I get deferred. Aimlessly googling stuff about GT is getting kind of boring…nothing is fun anymore. I can’t take it anymore!</p>

<p>CSIHSIS, I’ve seen you around the Georgetown forum a lot! I’m in the same situation, waiting for my SFS decision. To your comment above, I’m pretty sure Gtown is old school and sends letters, but they should still be ready to send them on time.</p>

<p>For what major? IPOL <3 Foreign Policy and Policy Processes <3</p>

<p>I keep psyching myself out and reading old Accepted/Deferred/Denied discussions. It’s the worst mental torture out there.</p>

<p>IPOL too! Probably with a focus on the Middle East. Are you applying anywhere else EA? I’m doing UChicago.</p>

<p>I’m doing my best to stay away from Yale’s. But so tempting…</p>

<p>Irenles, I keep doing the same thing too. I’ll read one post with similar stats get accepted and I’ll get excited, and then the next one with a 2300 SAT get rejected and I’ll get scared.</p>

<p>MilkShaikh (LOL, because my friend JUST made a joke that he wants to name his son Milk, different spelling though) - I would get a certificate in Asian Studies xD</p>

<p>And I was planning to do UChicago EA but I decided that since G’town is my first choice I’d rather spend all my time on it. Also “Where’s Waldo” is too much for me to think about right now.</p>

<p>*Actually I might just get Binghamton over with now because they extended the EA deadline until like the 29th and I can just copy and paste my essay.</p>

<p>Hahaha, nice. Another weird coincidence is that we’ve got REALLY similar stats (I checked out your chance thread).</p>

<p>Dum de dum. All of my deadlines are November 15th…quite the waiting game indeed.</p>

<p>My interview for my SCEA school is sometime next week…I’m quite nervous.</p>

<p>I’m extremely nervous. I submitted my app for Columbia ED just a few days ago, but I can’t stop checking my email for interview requests, or get off the old results threads. Lol I spent like an hour and a half on the website yesterday, just daydreaming. I really hope I get in, though I highly doubt it.</p>

<p>Someone posted a similar thread.</p>

<p>In one line of thinking, I feel confident. I’m an AA with strong-even-for-non-hooks test scores. My essays are better than fine. My transcript is strong and my teachers love me.</p>

<p>In another, I feel so anxious. My extracurriculars are just okay. They don’t mesh with my academic interests. I forgot to explain how I am developing my academic interests. Commonapp.org inserted random, probably distracting, exclamation points all throughout my uploaded documents. I got a 91 in chemistry last year, the highest level math class my IB program offered this year was mathematical studies sl and I forgot to mention that this was not my decision. My teachers are probably going to be honest about the fact that I’m a disorganized person.</p>

<p>As each day passes, I grow more pessimistic…</p>
