<p>What a day that's going to be!!!!!</p>
<p>It's not very nice that you're already assuming March 31st is going to be a massacre!</p>
<p>I think it's going to be a happy love fest. Yep. That's exactly how it's going to be. A nice big happy GREEN love fest. :D</p>
<p>bleghhhh asljfhpouthiuhph</p>
<p>I don't think it's going to be a massacre because everyone is going to end up where they need to be. People will find that they have a lot of great choices, at great schools whether or not they are not in Hanover.</p>
<p>:) here's hoping</p>
<p>i don't want to think about it anymore lol. i so badly want to get in!</p>
<p>sometimes I freak that the schools I applied to just looked at me and went..."pfft" and automatically roundfiled me. :(</p>
<p>I wish I had calidan's optimism...</p>
<p>baby- there's enough of it to go around. ;)</p>
<p>:) <---- here's some for you</p>
<p>liasfhulaifughliauhfg okay the thing is, I can understand not getting into Yale, Columbia, Cornell, G-town, Penn. Other people applied to those schools from my school who are more qualified - but I was really excited because it appeared I was the only one who had applied to Dartmouth. Then today I found out another, more qualified kid from my school also applied there...and he has no intention of going there. it just KILLED me. because, I really do believe I belong there! and a spot will be given to someone who won't even appreciate what a wonderful thing they're dismissing!</p>
<p>blu- I thought the same thing! Until yesterday when I found out that this girl who would NEVER GO THERE got a likely letter! I was so angry and downtrodden. :( WHY? Whyyyyyyyy?</p>
<p>okay the only thing i'm hoping is...</p>
<p>the other day, after everyone had left the Lit Mag meeting, I stayed to talk to the lit mag advisor, this wonderful English teacher of mine that wrote my recommendations. She was asking how my March was going, and I was like "well, up until this year, I had never noticed that March is actually eight times longer than every other month." She understood at once that I was referring to the agony of waiting, and she asked if Penn was still my first choice. I was like "Actually, it's Dartmouth." She was like, "Oh really? I had no idea...you know, I think that's a much better place for you. It's more like Middlebury" (which is where she went, and she sees similarities between us). I then said, too bad i'm not getting in. She goes, "Why not?" I said, "well...it's a bit of a reach." She was surprised - "Really? for you?" turns out, she thought that I was ranked a lot higher than I really was. She was astonished to hear of some of the kids who were ranked ahead of me..."I've had most of those students, and while they are great, earnest, hardworking students...they're just not in your league. Your writing is...amazing. You have a natural talent in writing."</p>
<p>At this point I of course said "Well, that's just because I read so much." She goes, "Right. And you just know a lot of things they don't...don't you notice, that you're superior?"</p>
<p>This was all very surprising. Btw, if this comes across as bragging, it's really not. I was really surprised to hear her say that. But hopefully this comes across in my essays, and she mentioned this in my recommendation - as far as I know, that's the only chance I have :)</p>
<p>I found that my college choices changed over the course of the application process. for example, I applied to an ivy but then I became totally apathetic about my app because I dont think I would want to go there if accepted</p>
<p>heres a hint, the ivy wasnt HYPBDCornell</p>
<p>So it was Penn?</p>
<p>and blu- I actually think that if I have any chance at all, it's because of my recommendations. That's the only thing I can see that went wrong with UCLA- they don't accept recommendations. So no recommendations=rejection while yes recommendations=acceptance.
I hope this holds true for all my colleges. :D</p>
<p>me too.</p>
<p>oh, another thing. i took the APUSH test and got a 5, which, THANK GOD, i spent two years getting ready for it. but, as a random addition, my mom was like "i know there's no AP Studio Art class, but you have a strong portfolio, you should send yours in." i ended up doing so, but didn't know I was supposed to take my works out of the glass frames - they shattered on the way there, and the judges refused to score them. as a result, i got a zero on that section. meaning i got a 2. a TWO!!!!!! so i couldn't send out official AP test scores, which KILLS me, because i worked really hard for that 5 on US History! But, I put that I got a 5 on APUSH in that "Extra scores" section on the common app. so most of the schools I applied to see that I unofficially got a 5 on AP US, while the ones that aren't common app think that i took an AP class and didn't take the AP Exam, which reflects badly on me.</p>
<p>awww, thats too bad, and it is penn</p>
<p>Put on your armor. We're all going to win some and lose some.</p>
<p>eep! scary. </p>
<p>yeah, blu, cali-- you guys and me are in the no likely boat. but so is everyone who applied from my school (4 people). I know that of those 4 people, I would function best at Dartmouth-- it's just naturally a great fit for me. So I desperately hope I get in, because if one of them gets in and not me, I'll like cry, because I don't think they'll go. I mean, one of the applicants applied to 31 schools! raaar!</p>
<p>Remember you guys, the majority come from RD. It seems like a lot of people are already in...but that's nothing compared to the Rd acceptances. Keep the faith!</p>
<p>THIRTY-ONE SCHOOLS?!</p>
<p>My parents cut me off at three, plus the safety. </p>
<p>I really, really hope I get in this time. I sent a three-page deferral love letter, my mid-year report, a copy of my newspaper, the whole thing. But if I don't, I don't. I have a hefty scholarship and the honors program waiting in the wings at KU, so I think I'll be okay.</p>
<p>If you guys want a good laugh, head over to Wash U's forum. We found out our decisions today. They waitlisted everyone and their mother (including me), it's hilarious. One guy got recruited for soccer and waitlisted.</p>
<p>yeah, 31. how deadly is that? </p>
<p>i heard the washu stuff was a massacre. but, i really don't think it was based on merit at all.</p>
<p>THIRTY ONE?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!</p>
<p>just...i.......system overload.</p>
