<p>I keep having these crazy flashes of depression for here comes the big ol' rejection.
Then I get irritated at everyone around me when I feel that I'll be deferred and just strung along for more hell....</p>
<p>And then at times I'm in a state of euphoric shock at the possibility of acceptance.</p>
<p>I don't even know what to think anymore... it's a depression time now :(.... I just really really really want it to be an acceptance. more than 5 people from my school applied and I REALLy don't want to be the rejectee in a sea of acceptances.</p>
<p>that’s exactly how I’ve been feeling! I’m so biploar these days it’s not even funny. the last week i’d been on an 'I’m totally gonna get accepteddd~" high but after seeing the stanford results…now I’m just like “omg why did I even think of applying here, I don’t even stand a chance.”</p>
<p>Same here. Probably with lots of other SCEAers on CC as well. I’ve pretty much exhausted my brain on how to wait for DDay. I guess we can only hope for the best… :/</p>
<p>The decision has already been made. We just have to keep faith.</p>
<p>Part 1: Thinking about what I would do if I were accepted.
Part 2: Thinking about what I would do if I were rejected.
Part 3: Thinking about what I would do if I were deferred.</p>
<p>Guys, don’t worry about it. Breathe. Don’t think about it. It’s going to be all right. Whatever happens happens for a reason and you just have to take the best of what you’ve got. I know that sounds so trite, but I think there is a hint of truth to it.</p>
<p>Ha, I’m sure that next year at this time, I will be just as nervous as you all will. But, having been rejected from Exeter and Lawrenceville and waitedlisted at Andover as a freshman, I can still remember that wait and it was painful…there’s no experience quite like it and I don’t wish it on anyone…but, really, there is nothing you can do at this point, so it’s best not to dwell on it.</p>
<p>^your parents were willing to move to whatever city your prep school was in? wow. see this is why I resent those expensive prep schools. NORMAL kids go to school where their parents work. and if that’s a public school, so be it. </p>
<p>anyway, the bipolar thing seems to be a totally universal phenomenon. I totally feel the same way, guys. one second I’m envisioning the singing bulldog and thinking how I’m going to celebrate, the next minute i’m super depressed and dreading the day with every ounce of my being. right now I’m in the depressed phase. pretty much hopeless.</p>
<p>^ they’re boarding schools, so there’s no need to move. (btw, I go to prep school, too, so I guess I’m not “normal.” And I’m not rich, I’m here on enormous financial aid and scholarship. )</p>
<p>My parents asked me the other day why I’m so anxious, because it’s not like checking it a day later can change anything, anyway. Me, with an incredulous stare: Are you kidding? haha</p>
<p>^ I know! Worrying about it is not going to make a difference, someone chancing you won’t make a difference, yet we do it anyway!</p>
<p>They’ve already decided, and if we aren’t accepted it has nothing to do with how good a person we are, it’s just their loss. Yet I’m worried and I feel like if I don’t get in I won’t be able to get in to my other reach schools…</p>
<p>^I have this really weird gut feeling that I’m going to be rejected from yale but accepted to princeton…I don’t even know why, but…it would suck if that happened because I really don’t like princeton and am only applying there because my dad wants me to. I’ll be like…umm, can we do a trade? swap school acceptances? lol</p>
hahahaha. thank-you!</p>
