Which Ivy Will You Check First?

Applying to College
1

<p>Since all the Ivies are going to post admissions decisions on their respective websites on March 31st, in what order will you check them?</p>

<p>I think I'll go with Harvard first (to the rejection out of the way, lolz),
followed by Yale (Out of the three, I think this one is more likely than the other 2).
and finish with Princeton.</p>

<p>You?</p>

2

<p>this depresses me...</p>

3

<p>Ummm...I'll open two tabs, one with Cornell and one with Columbia, then flip a coin to see which one I'll check first.</p>

4

<p>Probably Yale first. I think I have a better chance at Harvard. I didn't apply to any other Ivies.</p>

5

<p>agreed with puma =/</p>

6

<p>Dartmouth, then Princeton: save the most important for last...</p>

7

<p>I was wondering this myself. I think I'm just going to draw from a hat. I can't handle the pressure of picking myself...</p>

8

<p>Yale, then Brown. Don't expect good news from either . . . .but hope for a surprise.</p>

9

<p>I'll probably start with the one I have the worst chances at and work my way up:</p>

<p>Yale -> Penn -> Brown</p>

10

<p>Yale, because the rejection will bring an end to my deferral induced waiting game. I might not even check any of the others online.</p>

11

<p>Well probably Harvard since they send it right to your email. Then maybe Columbia (I'm not sure how they inform people... does anyone know)? Then Princeton last simply because I applied for the lulz.</p>

12

<p>Harvard > Penn > Yale
That is if I get the email from Harvard right away. If not I'll probably check Penn and Yale first. But then this whole issue depends on when I am actually going to check. I still haven't figured out whether to stay awake and wait or check before school.</p>

13

<p>Cornell, where I'd have better chances for admission. If I get rejected there.. then I shouldn't even bother checking the other ones.</p>

14

<p>what time does it come out?</p>

15

<p>aww man...</p>

<p>Cornell
Brown
Columbia
Hold breath...
Harvard
then either go wild screaming with joy, or shrug bc deep down I knew all would probably be rejects</p>

16

<p>How I wish I had the problem of deciding which Ivy to check first...</p>

17

<p>Hmm, not sure... if I was to check maybe Princeton. I remember a time period when I was in elementary or early middle school and wanted to attend Princeton. I now know the student body etc ( such as student population)... and doesn't seem too appealing.</p>

<p>Oh... this is if you applied to a Ivy League?</p>

<ul>
<li>Junior in high school</li>
</ul>

18

<p>Brown because of no chance, then Cornell because of no chance.</p>

19

<p>^lol I'm sure you stand a chance</p>

<p>I'm checking Columbia first b/c I might actually have a slight chance, then I'm checking Yale because, well, it won't be such a let down. JHU is my top choice anyway and they come out 4/1 so I might wait until after I check JHU to check the ivies.</p>

<p>hahaha Eliza, just because we applied, doesn't mean we're getting in.</p>
