Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Applying to College

<p>Remember as a child when you couldn't go to sleep the night before Christmas because you kept thinking about all the gifts you might get and kept imagining what would be under the tree in the morning?</p>

<p>Well despite getting 3 hours of sleep last night, I'm not even drowsy I wait in anticipation for 3 rejections from my 3 reach school... not quite the same as waiting for some glorious gift, but despite me being almost certain of my rejection from these schools I can't help but keep thinking about those thin envelopes and consoling diction of my status page when it tells me all the cliches as to why they couldn't admit me.</p>

<p>Anyone else feeling this, or any other strong feelings towards tommorow or any incoming date?</p>

<p>i havent started my freakin essay for some goddamn reason</p>

<p>Ooo I'm waiting on 3 rejections too. But I'm not really nervous. I think I stopped caring back in December when I was deferred to RD at Harvard. I'm starting to adjust to the idea of going to UCLA, almost looking forward to it...Besides I'm going to love pulling the "But I saved you 80,000 dollars!" on my parents.</p>

<p>Of course, if any of the reaches want me, I'm there in a heartbeat.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>It'd be nice if I knew for certain when my William and Mary OOS decision will arrive, but they're mysterious like that.</p>

<p>Same hear, I got into NYU's Stern School of Business, and hopefully McCombs at UT... either one of which could easily put me into an elite Business school if I play my cards right, so not getting into my Ivies doesn't seem so bad, though if I were accepted they'd get a letter back notifying them of my decision the next day!</p>

<p>yeah, just like christmas except it will be a time of rejection and saddness instead of happiness and presents.</p>

<p>doesn't it feel so retarded being so excited about something we know is going to be so disappointing???? eeek i hate how nervous i am when i know i'm just gonna get rejected. It is like being excited about my execution! curse the wait period!</p>
