<p>Commiserations to all the Stanford rejectees (is this even a word?). Like Pixie said, it is need aware for Internationals, and with the 7% RD acceptance rate the acceptance for international FA applicants must be close to 0 or 1%. This is in no way a judgment of you as a person. Keep your spirits up guys, there are still a lot of schools you have to hear back from/have heard from and wherever you’ll end up, make the best of your opportunities and you’ll be poised for success.
I have a double free right now, 2 classes, and then nothing till the end of the day (3.35). Why am I even in school?
One and a half hours till the big game!!</p>
<p>Anyone got Stanford??</p>
<p>Hi guys, waiting on 2 ivies and Williams and Swarthmore for tomorrow. Sigh. Not hopeful much.
And Putturani, as somebody said before, <em>insert word that rhymes with duck</em> those people! :)</p>
<p>Hey tiyas, can you post the link to Swarthmore’s portal?</p>
<p>Portal? I just have the application checklist thing. I am assuming I’ll get an email today based on what Pixie said here. She called the adcom.</p>
<p>Thanks anyways! Someone in Nepali thread asked for the portal and I thought there is one. :)</p>
<p>My friend got into Stanford, don’t know if that counts? There is no uni he can’t get into.</p>
<p>arunemo - Ahhh I hate those kind of people. They make you hate yourself for wasting the past 4 years.</p>
<p>Shut up Pen15</p>
<p>I know someone who is confident of getting into every uni they have applied to. I sometimes think there should be a limit on applications, including on Ivy apps. My school has a limit of 8 apps total and 2 Ivy apps but it’s not strictly enforced.</p>
<p>btw, I’m losing hope for the match 
20 overs to go :'(</p>
<p>Chelsearox-Nah, he doesn’t make you hate yourself. He’s not cocky about it-he doesn’t tell anyone unless you ask. He’s one of those people who you just know will get in everywhere (esp with no FA) and no one can doubt he belongs at the Ivies.
The match is not going well 
I thought the run rate would’ve been higher.</p>
<p>This post is the definition of brilliant. Mandatory reading, everyone–

<p>…how are u guys with Ivy decisions holding up?
I’ve been feeling awful since this morning, and I haven’t been able to eat anything since then. :(</p>
<p>@pixie : No pressure, but if anyone can get into Harvard, it’s you. Oh and if you need to take your mind off these decisions then watch random episodes of HIMYM or Big Bang Theory. (I tried it before my Stanford EA decision and failed but still)
@arunemo: Thanks for that post. It’s beautiful and rather reassuring. :)</p>
<p>^why me suddenly? Have u also joined the crowd who keeps going irritatingly about how a harvard interview is like a likely?
And I can’t. I would have watched anime to distract myself, but so many hours staring at my goddamned screen has resulted in me getting headaches every time I stay on again.
Sorry, i suddenly feel like bursting into tears.
I should get off this site.</p>
<p>No I am not saying that you will get into Harvard because of the fact that you got an interview (though it has been proven to be an indication of you clearing the first round). Honestly, I was humbled by your achievements and stats (I haven’t read your essays but having followed the Indian threads for a while and you seem to be a really nice person so I am sure they’ve turned out to be amazing). So just to clarify, I said what I said earlier because I believe in you. Don’t worry girl you’ll do awesome! :)</p>
<p>just read ur link nemo. It’s beautiful, but it did nothing for me because I already know all that stuff it talks about. :(</p>
<p>mynameisv: sorry for bursting out like that. I know u just meant well. 
And it’s very nice of you to say that.</p>
<p>Eep if a Harvard interview indicates a likely then I didn’t get one! Nor did I get a Columbia interview Oh well, not long till we find out. And don’t stress pixie, what will happen, will happen. And you have Smith and MHC - two awesome colleges.</p>
<p>u shut up CMC '15 :)</p>
<p>Pixie, I have been feel like crying too… since the morning. :(. That is why I totally stayed off the internet… aaah, what do you mean, pixie? People keep telling me getting an H interview is like getting ‘no rejection’. I have been so happy hearing it… are you saying we are still very likely to get rejected? Oh god, don’t… :(.
I even went out with my friends… and all I could do was keep touching ‘wood’ whenever anyone took H’s name. OH GOD THIS IS HELL. Please bhagwan, please give everyone here and me a little, tiny reason to be happy tomorrow. Anyone who says be happy with cornell+tata… tell me, what can be bigger than H??? oh god, I am NOT being greedy (well, ok, a little)… But H has been my dream school for, like, FOREVER and I also got my hopes up after the H interview and I do NOT want to be rejected now, please my sweet god.
I wish you all wake up tomorrow, smiling. you have been awesome… I feel nice knowing India will be represented in such amazing universities by such amazing people. love you all so much.
tomorrow might just be the last time on cc for me. :). new future, new avenues, new people! by the way, I still think we should really try to meet before departing for the US.
AAAAH, I digress. Best of luck for tomorrow!</p>
