The wait is the worst thing about getting into a school

<p>over the past few months, I've spent hours and hours, sometimes every day to work out finding and financing school for next fall.</p>

<p>That being said, the worst thing has to be the wait. You have to just st and wait... and wait.. and wait. </p>

<p>ugh this is horrible.</p>

<p>and the worst thing of all is that I know it'll be a few weeks from now because of a transcript issue.</p>

<p>Yeah the wait was excrutiating, and I had an Early Decision too! Nothing really helped me cope except to forget it occasioinally.</p>

<p>Pouring over every inch of the website doesn't help either. It just makes you more anxious :( But it's a temporary fix ;)</p>

<p>One of my friends compared it to having to wait three months for sexual climax...it's terrible :(</p>

<p>NERD ALERT NERD ALERT!
Sound the alarms!</p>

<p>Having been through the process for undergrad and grad school, I think that the worst part of getting into colleges is getting rejections. The wait is nothing compared to waiting and then getting rejected. If, however, you get accepted, the wait doesn't seem bad at all.</p>

<p>I just wrote out this long reply and accidentally multiple-posted, but when I tried to delete the other replies everything disappeared. :(</p>

<p>The point of it was more or less that I'd much rather just sit back and wait than complete all the excruciating requirements to receive my Bilingual IB Diploma and graduate from high school when I'm so ready to leave already and burned out from spending my entire winter break on college applications and sick and tired of everything but there's always more work.</p>

<p>I honestly don't know how I'm going to do it.</p>

<p>Northstarmom - YES! Although everyone says it's not a reflection of your worth as a human being, a rejection really feels as though we really are indeed, not good enough. </p>

<p>It makes me feel better though b/c on studentsreview.com, the majority of the kids from harvard that wrote review were unemployed! Sure, the data isn't foolproof, but I guess we just have to remember that we go to college so we can do well in the world, not so we can go into the world and flash our diploma.</p>
