<p>Hooray! I finally got it. Perhaps Penn hasn’t forgotten about me after all…</p>
<p>Regardless, it was still hours after everyone else did…</p>
<p>Dear lord I hope these email waves are sent by alpha first name or region…</p>
<p>All these ellipses at the end of my sentences…</p>
<p>@eniloracw,</p>
<p>Did you apply to Brown? I ask because they have decided to release their decisions at 5PM, 6PM, and even as late as 7PM depending on where you live…</p>
<p>@zhstkdblackbelt</p>
<p>Haha, it’s quite alright. I didn’t detect any sarcasm at all, really. Everyone’s nervous right around the last few days leading up to Ivy day.</p>
<p>Oh God, I’ve been waitlisted at every non-Ivy OOS (I didn’t even know that one could get waitlisted this much!). I really hope I don’t have to end up going to my state flagship… :(</p>
<p>@arghfrustrated I didn’t apply to Brown, so all of mine are at 5. Btw, does anyone know if decisions might go up a few minutes before 5 or after? I’ve heard of this happening for some other schools.</p>
<p>Also I finally got the email just now at 12:41 am. My last name starts with a W, so maybe it was alphabetical?</p>
<p>@argh, I’m a 7pm-er for Brown. You’re right, they do it regionally. I’m in CA, so I suppose they want me to be out of school before I check, lol.</p>
<p>I hear the Harvard emails take forever to come. What’s worse: waiting hours for a rejection to come to your inbox, or getting an awkward rejection when you’re not able to log on to the admitted students page? This will be my dilemma…</p>
<p>Got the email at 1:28 AM eastern. My last name starts with ‘G’ so the alphabetical theory is shot. I’m pretty sure the process is random, or they were saving the best for last ; )</p>
<p>(Imagine the winky eyes are connected to the smile)</p>
<p>Last year when my daughter clicked on the PENN email it was amazing!! It was a congratulations email and the PENN band was playing. It was very nice, and a great way to find out!! Good luck.</p>
<p>so close guys. Just one more day. Sigh. I’m hyperventilating over here xD</p>
<p>I find out from Barnard today and I’m so nervous. I think I’m going to pieces, and it’s not even Ivy day yet.</p>
<p>I’m freaking out about Duke today, half because I love Duke and half because I feel like I have no chance for Ivy Day if I can’t get into Duke.</p>
<p>^ That’s how I feel about Barnard, lol. My confidence was pretty much shot after a WL from Northwestern.</p>
<p>Yikes, I’m seriously starting to freak out. I’ve been passively nervous since January… only this week have I started panicking. Although, I suppose there’s not really anything I can do now; the decision is out of my hands and my decision letter is probably sealed in an envelope somewhere (terrifying!).</p>
<p>Anyway, I just want to wish all RD applicants an earnest good luck! I can’t wait to see all of your acceptances roll in tomorrow. :)</p>
<p>Do your families know it’s Ivy day tomorrow? My family all thinks it’s friday :P.</p>
<p>I like it this way. I don’t like people making big deals about things. If I don’t get in, which I’m expecting, I can be sad on my own, and let them know the next day in a passing remark. If I get in I can let it settle in a bit before telling them. I also won’t be asked every 10 minutes “and?”, “heard anything yet?”, etc.</p>
<p>My parents are very aware lol. I told my mom she has to hold my hand while I check decision portals. Pathetic, I know.</p>
<p>I almost forgot that decisions come out tomorrow even though I was thinking about it all last week. I’m hoping to distract myself by going out with some friends or something tomorrow and make the day go faster. I’m so nervous.</p>
<p>Mom knows. She really wants me to get into my dream school. I don’t want to disappoint her, but man. She will most likely be disappointed.
T_T</p>
<p>I think I’ll go to Stone Mountain tomorrow to calm myself.</p>
<p>nope my parents don’t know…They don’t know anything about the application process since they never went to college so I have been alone and clueless about everything unless I figure it out myself. sigh… does being first generation count for anything, hopefully?</p>
<p>So right now I’m watching anime to try to pass the time during Spring Break and hopefully hang out with friends tomorrow until 5…</p>
<p>Somehow my younger (soph/junior) friends got wind of the fact that I applied to Ivies. Literally every day, one of them asks me “did you get into Harvard yet?” </p>
<p>…Nope, not yet, and not ever. If only you understood…</p>
<p>Is there anyone who is a likely admit that has not received two emails?</p>
<p>Just realised; less than 24 hours left!</p>
