<p>I have returned for the home stretch. Maybe this is a defense mechanism to help keep emotional trauma to a minimum, but I am beginning to wonder if by some remote chance I am actually accepted whether I would actually go...This feeling could change if I am accepted of course, but life is pretty nice right here in Northern Virginia. Again, this may just be a defense mechanism...is anyone else starting to feel this way?</p>
<p>"exactly...don't they realize a lot of us need to go through a process to exit out of our schools...if we do accept their offers!"</p>
<p>They probably don't care, becasue they don't NEED to care.</p>
<p>"Again, this may just be a defense mechanism...is anyone else starting to feel this way?"</p>
<p>I completely agree with you. In all likelyhood I would be better off just staying here @ Ohio State. However, I know I will accept an offer at the drop of a hat.</p>
<p>i have rented a ditchwitch and an auger to plant trees and do a french drain in the back yard. if i am rejected, i figure it will be fairly simple to bury myself along with the roots. i imagine the sod will be quite green over my grave.</p>
<p>yeah..i'm starting to have this "defense-mechanism" too! im like...well W&M isn't all that bad...I already started on my major...I will have a job and living in an apartment with the coolest roommate ever...what else can i ask for!</p>
<p>I think they care about not receiving soooooooooo many phone calls, not they give a rat's arss about us.</p>
<p>I know I'm jumping on an acceptance IF it happens.</p>
<p>Can we have a drum roll?</p>
<p>When I was reading your posts about the posibility of getting a letter before Friday my mom called and I was freaking out...i was in class and couldnt answer. Turns out she was just calling to "say hi"...PSSSH, she tricked me. Im still pretty certain they wont send out the letters until they've made a descision for EVERYONE...and admissions officers usually have very strict time management plans (ie. for law schools they only give roughly 5 min per application)</p>
<p>That's great that you don't feel the need to transfer. So, why did you apply to transfer? I NEED to transfer. I cannot go back to a CC for another semester, and accomplish my educational goals.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That's not what I said...reread my post.</p>
<p>You said that you might not go at all, even if you are accepted. And, that life in Northern Virginia isn't so bad after all.</p>
<p>But the point of that post was to see if other people are also starting to use behavioral modification to mollify the negative psychological effects of the anxiousness that accompanies the time during which decisions are made. I didn't say I definitely won't go if I am accepted. I am entitled to change my mind, as are you and everyone else applying. I'd rather feel that it's OK if I don't get in than to feel absolutely crushed if I don't. Defense mechanism.</p>
<p>"That's great that you don't feel the need to transfer. So, why did you apply to transfer? I NEED to transfer. I cannot go back to a CC for another semester, and accomplish my educational goals."</p>
<p>I applied to UVa just to see if I would get in...no big deal either way. Had I been in your shoes and NEEDED to transfer I probably wouldve applied to many different schools and put more into the entire process.</p>
<p>Couldn't the two of you resolve this in a private message? I mean, why do you feel the need to litter this thread with this?</p>
<p>Another day without hearing from my Mom. :( Maybe they really are waiting until Friday to mail decisions. I've gotta get a life!</p>
<p>Hey sorry to bring it up again. BUT, what was the consenses on ISIS. Every prospective student has an account they can access with the same stuff as UVa students, or.......not.</p>
<p>my tuition deposits already in and i STILL don't see test scores on isis!</p>
<p>as you can probably tell this is nahrafsfa....a mod kinda suspended that username for somethin that he thought was profane...</p>
<p>btw...they post decisions online friday at 5...you'll probably be able to view them at that time or within the hour...so no worries...those are final decisions as well (unless you're waitlisted)...friday is the last wave</p>
<p>I don't know why you would see test scores with a deposit. I can see mine and don't even know if I've been accepted or not. Waiting till Friday is "killer". And what if you are waitlisted? Wouldn't you still be able to see that online as well? </p>
<p>Why can't someone ask a current student at UVa (maybe Wahoo?) about the ISIS and if all applicants are able to log in and if there are certain things we can't see if you're not accepted, etc.?</p>
<p>yeah if you're waitlisted it'll tell ya online...but I was just sayin your final decision won't be out til early june/late may if you are waitlisted</p>
<p>i wonder what the chances are of being pulled from the waitlist as a transfer students...I assume very, very slim.</p>
<p>~5%.......</p>
