<p>As for me, I began feeling optimistic, like I knew I had a good chance of getting in, but as time has gone on, I feel anxious, and a bit jittery. A lot of people in my school have asked me (multiple times) where i'm going, and whether or not i've gotten word back yet. There are others in my school who've applied early to other colleges, and it feels like there's an aura of anxiety in the air. I've been somehow designated the admissions "star" at my school, and suddenly the faculty are going out of their way to help me out. Well, 9 days to go, most decisions have already been made, so theoretically, we've already been admitted, deferred, rejected, etc. So my question to fellow EDers is, how do you feel? The countdown has begun. Are you an Eph? :)</p>

<p>This applies too. </p>
<p>In other words, you did an amazing job of putting into words all the random sentiments bouncing around in my head.</p>
<p>How do I feel? Like I really really really really want to be a PURPLE COW!! Like I want to go to Williams more than anything I've ever wanted in my life.</p>
<p>Great thread..Good luck to you and everyone else! Hopefully this next week and a half will go by quickly.</p>
<p>at first- i was like "well. i probably won't get in, so i shouldnt be that upset, i know i wont get in" but i've started feeling more hopeful and the anticipation and nervousness has grown as time has gone on...</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you sure? I thought they begin decision making tomorrow? I was thinking about faxing them some of my new awards...</p>
<p>Who knows whether they've read your folder yet. Don't just think about sending your update -- do it tomorrow! Might help. Might not be needed. Might not help. But give it your best shot and do it fast (but carefully - no typos!). Better that than forever wondering whether it might have made a difference.</p>
<p>Good luck. Hope you'll have great news in 10 days or so.</p>
<p>I was at first extremely confident, and have been since 9th grade, because my HS typically sends 50% or more to Ivy League institutions, and I'm a strong student. nevertheless, in the last two weeks i have grown increasingly nervous, and as i write, i feel like vomiting.</p>
<p>I called them and they said they've already made decisions so it won't be necessary to send anything else.
I'm feeling better about my chances.</p>
<p>Did the person on the telephone check to see whether your individual folder had been read? Did you get the sense that they were finished with all the folders, or was it just with some of them?</p>
<p>We were thinking that they were going to mail the letters this coming Friday. Here it is Monday morning. If they are done with their review, maybe they'll be able to mail the letters on Thursday or -- dare I suggest it -- maybe even on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>Thinking good thoughts for all of you who are waiting.</p>
<p>Ignore my recent post. I have my answer from another thread.</p>
