<p>Well this is the way I see it... chances are you get denied somewhere. No one's perfect (unless you're Asian- but that's perfect in a bad way for admissions lololol)</p>
<p>So far... I've gotten 5 acceptances, and 0 rejection. Only Harvard and Yale left.... yeah... Murphy's law is gonna go with.. rejection [double kill!!!]</p>
<p>I truly don't know whether I'd let in half of CC or myself. I'm leaning towards myself AND half of CC because then I could actually meet all of you awesome people at an even awesomer university.
But Ivies are just so difficult to get into that I've stopped agonizing over decisions and started looking at them with some perspective: if I don't get in, I'm in good company, and I can still go to my state school (Geneseo) and do extremely well and still go to medical school.
But maybe Tufts will accept me, and I can go there and be really happy! (Though hopefully the financial aid won't be too awful).</p>
<p>You guys are some truly qualified people and I know for sure that some of you will definitely get in.
Ten days and we'll all know!</p>
<p>I think my mood swings have basically two axes, one for my optimism/pessimism and one of caring/not caring. Sometimes its "OMG THIS IS SO IMPORTANT AND I WILL BE SO REJECTED OUCH" or "whatever man it's doesn't matter, but I think I got a shot! lolololol".... or visa versa. Anyone else swing in 2D if you get my drift?</p>
<p>I totally get you sherlock, that's exactly what happens to me. Today is one of those "whatever, dude I might get in" days but yesterday was like "IM NEVER GONNA GET IN ANYWHERE AND IT'S THE END OF MY LIFE" days.
I think we're suffering from decisionitis. That's what I'm going to call it, haha.</p>
<p>On the topic of self-centeredness, I'd like to add that I'd rather 75% of CC get admitted (if I'm rejected), then for all of CC to get rejected (me included).</p>
<p>Basically, if I'm already going to fail, I hope I don't bring you guys down with me :)</p>
<p>awww, you guys are so selfless. wish I could say the same about letting 50% of you in over me, but, ummmm..... yeah. </p>
<p>I know that life will go on even if (when) I get rejected, and I am positive that i can still be successful and happy, yada yada yada, but I honestly think that Yale is the best fit for me. It's not about the prestige or the job opportunities, it's about the experience. Obviously, college is what you make of it, and those of us who don't end up at Yale will end up having great times at other places... but I, personally, won't be able to realize how great some other school is until I've started attending there in the fall, and that means my level of excitement over the summer is going to be kind of "blah" compared to how I excited I would be for Yale. </p>
<p>and "decisionitis" is a good word for our angst</p>
<p>also, despite the first line of this post, i do sincerely wish good luck to everyone on cc for the coming days!</p>
<p>I think I should publish my discovery in a scientific journal, decisionitis is steadily becoming a world pandemic.
If I get waitlisted, I'll be sure to update colleges with my thrilling new discovery :P</p>
