<p>My son hasn't heard anything either. Our last name is at the end of the alphabet. The other kids from his school who were nominated seemed to get their emails in alphabetical order (the kid whose name starts with A got his email first, etc.), so maybe that's why we haven't heard yet?</p>
<p>well, there's a guy on here (packerfan) who says his last name starts with B and he's in the same boat we're in =)</p>
<p>wow, azn. that was a fast reply. are you living on here again? :P</p>
<p>But yeah, she's right. By last name actually starts with a "Ba" and I still havne't gotten anything yet. I think I'm going to have my mom call everyone at Emory tomorrow and annoy the hell out of them.</p>
<p>=/ packer, I must admit you've caught me!
let's review the things I've done to try NOT to freak out
about emory's stupid crap.</p>
<p>spending 2.5 hours cooking/eating calzones
actually doing homework
watching project runway (these are today)</p>
<p>(yesterday) jump up every 5 min. when a car drives by
and watching 5 episodes of season 1 of LOST (about 4.25 hours)</p>
<p>=) I need to start thinking about other schools now...</p>
<p>Eh. You've got me beat. My routine was pretty constant the past two days. Get home from soocer, eat, shower, surf the internet, watch jeopardy, attempt to do homework/study, and try to avoid CC as much as possible. Unfortunately, much of my homework involved use of the computer, so I ended up spending more time on CC than doing my homework. It's quite frustrating. And I'm doing it again now, even thought I have a AP Chem test tomorrow. Huzzah!</p>
<p>But I wish they would send me something already. I won't even be broken hearted if I do get rejected. I already have UNC. :D</p>
<p>But I still want a darn decision!!!</p>
<p>yeah...well this semester is pretty much one big joke...despite having 5 ap exams in may...the rest of it is a joke! school is one big stressball....so why bother thinking about it at home? xD CC wants to suck my brains...this is actually the first time I've gotten on today, but now I'm stuck!</p>
<p>haha I've got clemson (my instate) as backup. not happy at all.</p>
<p>My instate, Alabama, managed to "accept me" when I sent them an updated transcript. I'm dead serious. My application process there took me like ten seconds. But somehow they didn't consider me for any of their big academic scholarships. Go figure. One of my friends's mom works at Bama, and she pitched a fit when she found that out. She calmed down though once she found out that Bama was my backup to all my other backups.</p>
<p>yeah...I mean...I think I could get full to clemson, but I REALLY don't want to go there. then again, nor do I want to go to any other school I applied to! xD I think I depended too much on getting into/going to emory. but yeah, I got deferred from wheaton early action. and people go "where's wheaton?" and I go... "exactly." =/ this poor korean girl in my class applied to pennstate and USC (south carolina), but both apps she did something wrong (no SAT scores sent to former and only filled out honors college app for latter) so right now, she has no pending apps out. that REALLY sucks.</p>
<p>oh and I didn't even bother applying to clemson's honors college...which equals FAIL@LIFE for me if I go there.</p>
<p>Did you apply anywhere else beside's Wheaton, Emory, and Clemson? And I am so sorry for your friend. That really sucks.</p>
<p>xD duke and harvard
the former of which I wouldn't want to go to even if I got in
unless they gave me a heck of a lotta money</p>
<p>and the latter of which is a crapshoot bigger than emory scholars
and you?</p>
<p>Ahoy - I see y'all are back again.</p>
<p>I hate to bring sadness into this thread, but I was thinking:
- the only people who have gotten letters are the people who got accepted
Which probably means they haven't sent out rejection letters yet / ARE THEY PLANNING TO? </p>
<p>Sigh...I don't know why I'm still OCD about the Emory forum, in spite of being officially rejected.</p>
<p>haha if you search up my posts, you'll see that I only post on the emory forum. :) I srsly don't care about any other school...which is sad...for me.</p>
<p>hmm i thought I heard of someone getting their rejection letter?
plus, they're probably less likely to be on here telling the world.
except you, tako dear :)</p>
<p>I WANT my rejection letter in the mail already, my goodness. I practically ran home today, only to find out that I had NO MAIL. Depressing.</p>
<p>And did somebody really get their rejection letter already? I think I'll wait until tomorrow, and then I'll freak out. Just for the heck of it.</p>
<p>yeah, go all crazy on emory please :)
I'm going to call if I don't get anything tomorrow...
because come on, I live in south carolina
not very far away!</p>
<p>You are OC, not OCD, about the Emory forum because our conversations are vastly entertaining tako. That, and you keep hoping that you will find someone else like you to wallow in your sorrows with you to keep you company. </p>
<p>That sentence had way too many "you"s in it. Anyway, that's what me, azn, and squirrel did. </p>
<p>Thus far I have been accepted at Bama, and UNC. And I am waiting to hear back from Miami, Florida, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Columbia, NYU, Duke, Washington in St. Louis, Emory, Vanderbilt, and Stanford.</p>
<p>Indeed! California, I can understand - but South Carolina? That's just upsetting. Unfortunately, I'm stuck at school until 10pmish tomorrow, which blows because then I can't come home and check the mail for such a long time! Terrible, terrible...</p>
<p>Packerfan89 - California? Bay Area, perchance?</p>
<p>Ok. I am going to stop posting and hoping now, and try to get done with all this stupid homework. Bye guys. Talk to you later.</p>
<p>Watch this new found determination end in about five minutes.</p>
