<p>hey guys, i’m also an ED1 applicant for vassar and i feel your anxiety. good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who has wished us good luck! And I wish everyone else good luck, too! NINE DAYS.</p>
<p>I’m sitting here trying to do homework with a bowl of dry cereal and all I can think about is, “I want to do my term paper in my dorm with a bowl of dry cereal at Vassar.”</p>
<p>Oh man don’t even talk about fantasizing about being at Vassar, it’s too painful…good luck all around, as many times as it’s been said, ha. If I was at Vassar right now…</p>
<p>haha @mattsaysfierce… </p>
<p>i just spent the past hour with my mom fantasizing about living at vassar. </p>
<p>i need to get my mind off of these things - i can’t get my hopes up too much!</p>
<p>Haha, well, with a username like that, those hopes can’t be stopped, hahaha.</p>
<p>I was making the contact list for my AP Physics club (I’m secretary) and for email, I put my normal email and under it, I listed ‘<a href=“mailto:mmortile@vassar.edu”>mmortile@vassar.edu</a>’. Then I erased it because I was paranoid about jinxing it.</p>
<p>That letter just needs to be here.</p>
<p>It’s all I can think/talk about. I’ve become a really boring person to have a conversation with, haha. Today I even started thinking about all the new clothes I’d have to be to fit the climate there. Iiiiiii’m lame</p>
<p>Don’t worry. I started picking which clothes I’m bringing. And I am determined to get the walk-in closet in that Main one room triple.</p>
<p>I feel like a big nerd but it’s midnight my time and I’m up doing homework which meaaaaans: 8 MORE DAYS!! :)</p>
<p>8 MORE DAYYYYS!!! (Or maybe less?!!) It is so wild that we’ll actually know in that time. I am feeling the same way you guys are–it is so hard not to think about Vassar like every moment of the day at this point.</p>
<p>There’s a possibility we’ll be finding out in 5 days! SDKJFHSK I can’t even handle it.</p>
<p>BTW, I asked my guidance counselor whether she got a call about my first quarter grades and she claims she didn’t. Granted she’s the worst counselor in the school, so they might’ve called, but she said they haven’t. Good? Bad? Ah, I’m freaking. My GPA is pretty solid, but wouldn’t they at least want to check on how I’m doing?</p>
<p>So little time is left!
I’m not already planning clothes, but I am planning out a couple of courses I’d just have to take at Vassar, and a couple of clubs I just have to join- it really is getting hard to concentrate on things non-Vassar!
My Application Checklist still does not have my Teacher Evaluation or SAT scores as Received, which is a bit worrying, but I guess I’ll give it until Wednesday before I call.</p>
<p>Wow, yeah, I’d call to be sure.</p>
<p>I know what Freshman Writing Seminar I’m taking. Or well, the ones I want to take. There are so many I want to take! News writing sounds good, so do queer letters, and the Disney class. Or Cleopatra in the spring. And I know I’m auditioning for FlyPeople this fall. And auditioning from Future Waitstaff of America. I’m really eager to see what musical the FWA will put on next fall. :D</p>
<p>Hey, I applied E.D. too. My photo was… maybe a mistake in hindsight… All the same, we’re closing in on the 7 day mark! Oh well, I gave up on Vassar a long time ago… can’t quite say I qualify 
Still… there is no doubt it was worth it, even if I haven’t a chance of acceptance. However, if I do get lucky (luckier that imaginable), then I am signing up for the Miscellany News post haste! And Japanese, French, Love Death and the Gift of Art, a introductory film class… agh this is torture…</p>
<p>Aww, don’t say that! Why would you say the photo was a bad choice? :/</p>
<p>I feel almost guilty looking at the courses and activities because I know it’ll make it that much harder if I get rejected. BUT … I’m leaning towards Deception: The Truth About Lies as my FWS (although I’ve heard it fills up really fast because it’s pretty popular). I also like the Disney one, and a kid I know that graduated in '08 from my school and is now at Vassar took the Vampires, Lunatics, and Cyborgs FWS and said he really enjoyed it.</p>
<p>So I promised myself I’d steer clear of the course catalogue to avoid getting my hopes up EVEN more.
Yeah, no chance of that. Even more frantic/excited now.</p>
<p>Did anyone see the new post on the old Early Decision thread? “Way late in December”?! D: Not cool.</p>
<p>Don’t worry man, last year’s ED thread has people getting notified on the 13th-15th. The only reason I could possibly think of for a delay this year would be financial complications, with the college having lost money in the downturn, with more people needing financial aid, etc. But how exactly that would impede the admissions process, aside from their putting together aid packages, I don’t really know. Anyway I’m pretty sure we’ve only got a week or less of pain left–or at least the pain of not knowing…</p>
<p>well I know during the online chat the other day, a lot of people were asking about admission decision dates. The admission people kept saying all decisions will be mailed prior to the 15th (or something like “on the 14th”)…so idk why this admissions person would say “way late in December” because that was not the answer we were getting a few days ago…</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. 'Cause I need to know whether or not I’m in before the 18th. I need to know if I need to bother with sending transcripts to my other colleges or not, haha.</p>
<p>So! I got called up to my counselor’s office today, and she told me that Vassar contacted her and asked her to fax my first quarter report card! She said they needed a copy and that “they will make their decision”. Regardless of what it means, at least I’m still in the game!</p>
<p>P.S. All A’s. ;]</p>
