<p>By the way, we'll have to start a message board for consoling and one for congratulating. I know which one I'll be on <em>sniff</em> (the former, not the latter).</p>
<p>where did you see this at the application status site?</p>
<p>never mind. i thought it was the same letter--guess i should read carefully!</p>
<p>Haha, don't worry about it, I do the exact same thing. Don't get me started on how hard it was for me to break that habit so I'd do better on standardized tests!!!</p>
<p>Oh geez, you shouldn't have told me... Now I'm going to run home on Thursday, get home around 2:45 ish, log onto my account, and I'm just going to keep pushing the refresh button for the next 15 minutes. </p>
<p>All the while I'm sweating neurotically. If that's possible, and I'll probably make it possible.</p>
<p>We should have had a pool going :-P. There are a few people who predicted it pretty closely.</p>
<p>It's so much scarier/realer now that we have an exact date and time.</p>
<p>ohiogal203 got it right on! She deserves a prize.</p>
<p>"I am gaining confidence in the idea that we will find out on the 8th. The 9th last year was a Thursday, and the 11th two years ago was also a Thursday. I know I'm extrapolating a little here, but the 8th would fit into this pattern."</p>
<p>Wonder what type of CC prize we can scrounge up? :P</p>
<p>I say the reward should be a CC high-five, and a box of fiber-filled Cheerios. However, we have no way of pooling any actual nickels to actually buy the Cheerios- what if we collectively send nickels to someone, and that someone happens to take all the nickels for themselves?! Its possible that a nickel theif is in our midst.</p>
<p>Therefore, I propose the following solution: ohiogal203 can go out and buy her own box of Cheerios at the local Meijers, and the CCers will reimbourse her in CC nickels, which will be redeemable in CC high fives (whew, mouthful). OR, for two nickels, she can get a high five AND a CC "how-dee-do!". For three nickels, you get a CC song-and-dance, the kind you get at Coldstone when you give them a tip. For four nickels, you get twenty cents.</p>
<p>I just want to say good luck to all of Dartmouth's ED applicants. Regardless of our fates, which we now know will be handed down on Thursday, we all deserve some credit for realizing that Hanover is the greatest place on earth, and that it would be a privelege to spend four years living there. </p>
<p>Again, good luck! Even if it doesn't work out for me, I hope the rest of you find Thursday's letters to be full of good fortune!</p>
<p>p.s. I totally deserve a car for calling 12/8 as the release date!!!</p>
<p>not to put a damper on the hopeful spirits, but uhh does anyone know the acceptance rate of deferred applicants? just planning ahead ha...</p>
<p>1) peach3s = funny.
2) props to ohiogal
3) I am now suffering from what we like to call "octaheart disease"...it's when you get really freaked out for the 8th and your heart steadily slows down until you have no heart beat...</p>
<p>Oh god. I feel the octaheart.</p>
<p>I second california99's question about deferral acceptance rates. </p>
<p>peach3s you belong in the government. Your method of reward is excellent :P</p>
<p>I've met at least one deferred aplicant who was accepted -- she had low test scores (600s on the math) but high grades and good ECs.</p>
<p>8-10% of defferred applicants get admitted</p>
