<p>i know this is a silly question but i'm getting emails from penn, cornell, columbia, harvard, and princeton tomorrow.</p>

<p>in which order should i open these emails!!</p>

<p>argghh this is killing me lol.</p>

<p>ah well at least i got in northwestern</p>

<p>You won’t get emails from penn, cornell, columbia, or princeton. Those are all online logins. (Not 100% sure about Columbia but dead sure about the rest).</p>

<p>Therefore, you will open Harvard both first and last.</p>

<p>basically i meant which school should i check first</p>

<p>Ah okay.</p>

<p>If you don’t think you’ll get into Harvard, check Harvard first and work your way down.
If you’re reasonably confident, check Cornell first and work your way up.</p>

<p>That way, you end up with whatever pleases you the most.</p>

<p>flip a coin</p>

<p>good question. </p>

<p>Do you want easy mode> hard mode, or boss fight first?
(sorry, putting things into video game terms just makes sense and keeps me entertained and sane.)</p>

<p>My and I decided to do:
Harvard>Cornell>Columbia>Yale</p>

<p>The reason for that progression is that I might get some compensation after the first fail, and then there’s building excitement for Yale.</p>

<p>All in good fun.</p>

<p>I think I’m going to do Princeton first (since it’s my only login). Then by the time I’ve had enough to react to the decision, I’ll have emails from Columbia/Harvard waiting. At this point, I’ll proceed to check whichever one came soonest.</p>

<p>Instructions for determining decision order:</p>

<p>1) Go and obtain a board game.</p>

<p>2) Take single die out of board game.</p>

<p>3) Assign a number to the Ivies you applied too. If you run out of spaces, you’re a prestige whore and the game ends here.</p>

<p>4) Roll.</p>

<p>5) Repeat until all decisions have been checked.</p>

<p>^^ columbia has to be checked online… at app.applyyourself…</p>

10

<p>yeah. columbia is not email</p>

11

<p>I’m gonna do Princeton and Harvard at the same time then check Yale when it comes out later.</p>

<p>i figured… if i get to my computer at 5pm (maybe i will, maybe i won’t; i’m supposed to see some friends, but they know i want to check this), if the email from harvard is there, i’ll check that first. if not, i’ll check penn and then princeton and then see the email. i’m working my way up :P</p>
