<p>So what are you guys doing to pass the time until admissions decisions are sent out? I'm trying to have confidence in my application, although I see so many other applicants who have had better, more unique opportunities and have included them in their app. So stressed! I'm trying to have confidence, but to almost no avail.</p>
<p>I feel you. One minute I’m hopeful, and then pessimistic the next. I think it’s more the anticipation of finding out that’s killing me. I would be sooo happy if I got in, but then I also know it’s not the end of the world if I don’t…it is Harvard after all. Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat. For a while, I was excited at the prospect at getting in, but lately, I’ve upset at the reality that I probably won’t. I guess I’ll see in a few days…
In the mean while, I have to study for finals and finish up some projects along with doing apps for other schools. Bleh</p>
<p>I’m going to be finishing college applications and preparing for my musical audition (coincidentally, also the 13th).</p>
<p>So i guess this is human psychology instead of me going crazy.
Oct and Nov, I was optimistic and confident. Starting Dec, I have been depressed a lot and kept telling myself how bad my essays and EC’s are, and then for a minute or two I would get super excited. Worst of all, I feel like I should’ve just applied an early decision school and be kinda safe.
I have been wasting a lot of time on mmorpg’s and japanese animes lately…I should probably finish my supplementary essays</p>
<p>I’ve already applied for regular decision, eagerly anticipating interview. But after Christmas I don’t know how I’m going to be able to keep calm and contain my excitement/nervousness until late March/April. Props to you guys though. Good luck.</p>
<p>I was fine for the first few weeks after submitting my app, then toward the end of november I really started freaking out/reading the 2016 decisions threat (NOT a good idea). But for some reason, all of a sudden I’m calm now, just waiting. I think it’s actually getting easier as we get closer to the 13th, because most of the anxiety was about how long until I found out. Next week guys!!!</p>
<p>I keep ruminating on all my weak points, praying I can go back in time and do something differently. I keep thinking that one weakness will be the pin in the grenade, and will prevent me from ever getting it. Probably irrational, but also probably best to keep hopes down…</p>
<p>To get over the stress, I’ve been trying to keep my mind off things by listening to tons of new music, reading, and remembering to stay focused on school.
Keeps the mind occupied for the next few days.</p>
<p>Anyone else torn between finishing other apps which will be needed if rejected/deferred and not finishing other apps which will save a lot of time if accepted? (in other words, I don’t want to waste the time of writing other apps in the case I get in, but will be in a lot of trouble if I am denied) At this point, I’m just waiting until Thursday and will see what happens. Chances are, I will have a lot of writing to do over winter break.</p>
<p>Same with me. I should be getting other apps done, but I’m just not motivated.</p>
<p>I want to save the more essay-heavy apps until after Thursday. I’m also waiting to send in SAT/ACT scores, just in case.</p>
<p>I’m trying to kill my expectations so I won’t be devastated on Thursday if i’m rejected/deferred. I’m going to read my decision at school and I’m either going to be really really happy or really terribly frustrated ;)</p>
