<p>5 days 21 hours 58 minutes and counting.</p>
<p>oh God…I’m so nervous
haha</p>
<p>…monday seems so far away but at least we now have a day to shoot for…the whole emailing us on thursday is such a tease…but yeah it happens and when you’re duke admissions you can pretty much do whatever you want.
I’m just a babbling nervous wreck because no one from my school has ever gotten into duke and i hope to break that streak</p>
<p>I want to puke when I think about it. I feel like I backed myself into a corner by applying to a bunch oh high reaches and low safeties.</p>
<p>I was accepted into one of my match schools very early in the admissions cycle (November) so I ended up applying for 18 reaches RD.</p>
<p>good job srrinath…</p>
<p>guys im gonna get rejected by every reach i apply to!! ):</p>
<p>So am I, which makes it seem very stupid that I invested so much time and money into applying to 18 of them.</p>
<p>I’m nervous! But in the good way!</p>
<p>I have a good feeling about this one.<br>
I’ve just been getting some good vibes in the pit of my stomach whenever I think about Duke. As in… I actually look forward to seeing what the decision is! ( : </p>
<p>Haha but it looks like I’m in the minority. That’s why they’re called ‘reaches’ right? I applied to 13 reaches. If I get into just one of them, it was definitely worth applying.</p>
<p>But I don’t want to jinx anything haha</p>
<p>I’m here with you guys as well, nervous wreck. Every one of my friends, teachers and their grandmothers knows how much I’d like to get into Duke, but we’ll see what happens. God, I can’t wait until Monday.</p>
<p>The only thing that I want officially is my rejection. After that, I can move on :D</p>
<p>^ Aw, don’t say that! You know your unconscious is hoping for an acceptance 
as are all of ours…lol.</p>
<p>These “reach” schools you guys applied to are probably ONLY ever going to be reaches for EVERYONE; I’m assuming they’re most likely top 10-20 schools, right? There is no such thing as a “match” for schools like HYPSM. So we’re all basically in the same boat. If that makes you feel better…I’m glad. 'Cause it’s the truth ;P</p>
<p>“Optimistic” isn’t a word anyone would use to describe me…BUT when it comes to college admissions, I feel like it’s the only thing one can be to keep from going totally insane/depressed. And when you get accepted to a school you’ve been wanting to go to for forever, you’ll be happy you didn’t lose faith! In my case though, I do acknowledge somewhere in the back of my mind that things may not turn out the way I’d like, and I think I’ll be okay with that. Just as long as you realize you’re not invincible, but still have hope, then all is good. Aiight?</p>
<p>i agree with blissfulting
but the fact that this is final is making me so nervous
i mean final because i was deferred from early decision
i really really really feel like i’m going to get rejected :S</p>
<p>Well, it happens. I was deferred EA from Chicago and eventually rejected but I’ve managed to move on. Don’t obsess needlessly over it. I hope you’ve kept the admissions office updated between your deferment and now.</p>
<p>Keep up the faith srrinath! I also applied to many reaches (14) and not only was I surprisingly accepted at 2 of them, I received a likely letter from a third! Anything really is possible.</p>
<p>I’m hoping for a similarly happy ending but if you’d look at my stats (<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/884823-how-will-cookie-crumble-last-minute-rd-freakout.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/884823-how-will-cookie-crumble-last-minute-rd-freakout.html</a>) you’d see the one major point of weakness that was probably responsible for killing my apps to Columbia and Chicago. It’s hard to avoid thinking that all my reaches will come to the same conclusion. But thanks for the anecdote and the encouragement!</p>
<p>dudeeeee. NUS high def prepared u for america LOL. good luck 
i’d love to meet u in person if we both get in</p>
<p>im dying!!</p>
<p>apparently likely letters came out today 
i didnt get one</p>
<p>Agghhhh me neither :(</p>
<p>@Stupefy: Likely letters? Are they only for URM’s? And do you know if west-coasters have received them already?</p>
<p>… Not that I’m expecting one haha
I can wait it out a few more days anyway ( :</p>
<p>yeah apparently they came in the mail. I know of at least one person who is not a URM that got one today</p>
