<p>I think finding out...rejection or acceptance...would be better than just wanting for the unknown!</p>
<p>Same here ...</p>
<p>i keep dreaming about college. i dreamed like 4 times the other night i got into my #1, but everytime i would think it was fake, and then would redream it to think it was real.</p>
<p>im going crazy. i wish all colleges had rolling admissions! it should be first come, first serve.</p>
<p>how are you guys going to open your letters? fast or slow? im the kind of person that would carry it around for awhile until i was completely ready.</p>
<p>I will... walk slowly to my mailbox, make a sprint, and then tear open my letters with tear-stained face. :(:(:(</p>
<p>"Since last week, I've been obsessively checking my email for confirmation passwords so that I can obsessively check my application status online. "</p>
<p>haha same here</p>
<p>man, i'm dying. I was meant to hear from RISD before the end of Jan. and it stillll hasn't come. it doesnt help that i already know people in canada who've been accepted. it sucks being an international student and having to wait a whole month for air-mail!!! its all i think about!!</p>
<p>hahaha...krae i had that same dream too...it felts so real. I actually graduated in my dream and just as I was supposed to enter my dorm at my #1 uni...my mom woke me up.</p>
<p>OOO I had a dream that I was acepted to Bucknell. Then the next day I got their rejection letter. I had some hope though when I saw the thin letter and my dad had put it up on the counter leaning up against a cup. I thought it was one of those thin acceptance letters but my dad accedentially did that. He did not know that was a hopeful position to put a letter in.</p>
<p>I'm just bummed now. Originally last summer my dad made me believe I could get into an Ivy League school, but after I realized that was not going to happen I have no idea what a good school because I had my mind in a state of believing that I could get into an Ivy. I got into Fairfield University so far but I don't know what it's reputation is. Does anyone know how the students at Fairfield are? I want to be with people that worked hard in school and have like a high 80's average.</p>
<p>Haha. I thought I was only one who dreamt about colleges. I dreamt about getting into Princeton twice, but in reality, I got deferred. I also dreamt about getting rejected from Brown, my dream school. I hope it doesn't come true!</p>
<p>Yeah, the dreams come often! I hate them!!</p>
<p>haha yeah i had one dream where i got into harvard, and then i woke up and was like oh crap. and then i had another dream that i got rejected from absolutely EVERYWHERE. lol it was so scary.</p>
<p>lol yeah...I give up, I should just do that "college @ home" program and get a degree in 30 days! :p</p>
<p>^ oooh. Sounds good to me. I'll do that too.</p>
<p>You guys are worry warts</p>
<p>Seriously, it is out of our hands. Personally, I am relaxing and having a good time. So what if you end up at your backup, it's not the end of the world. My school would probably be disappointed if their #2 person went to Ohio State, but I really wouldn't care.</p>
<p>Just remember this isnt the end of the world. Sure, I think about college a lot. But I might not get into UPenn, but that won't stop me from trying to get into Wharton for graduate school. You make your life, not the college.</p>
<p>Now, you can go back to worrying</p>
<p>osuforme- lol we can't control what we dream about. we're just sharing our experiences</p>
<p>I know, it must be tough for you guys though, always thinking about it. Im glad Ive seperated myself from the entire process though. Now, Im just relaxing and having some fun.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you.</p>
<p>i have actually just come up w/ a new way--or perhaps this will increase my anxiety. but anyway, i have a picture of each college (something from the brochure that symbolizes what i really like about that school.) each time, i get an acceptance, i'm going to put a big check mark on each picture. if i get rejected/waitlisted, i'll take the pic off the wall. </p>
<p>lol i know this sounds really stupid, but it makes me feel in control. :p</p>
<p>it doesnt sound stupid eruanneth!! I did something similar actually. I painted the names of all the unis i applied to on my wall and have decided to put a cross or a tick next to the name for acceptance or rejection. I guess it's fairly permanent but I felt like i really needed to display something which has been haunting me for months!! I brought it all together by painting up these dashboard confessional lyrics underneath for inspiration:
"dorms unload and you're heading out...here is your moment to shine"</p>
<p>lets hope i don't get all rejections - it would be a depressing reminder every time i saw it!! haha</p>
<p>I suffer from PAA! </p>
<p>I dream about colleges - where once my dreams were ambiguous and symbolic, they are now straightforward and to the point: </p>
<p>"Apply to XYZ, NOW!" </p>
<p>It's ridiculous! Since I've been done with the process for some time now and have wandered my eyes towards rolling admissions but once! </p>
<p>...not to mention, I have numerous headaches, backaches, chest aches, and I occasionally cry in the middle of the night. :rolleyes: :p</p>
<p>My friend's sister goes there, and a few of my friends really WANT to go there. They take a mix of honors/AP and level 2 classes and get decent grades. Fairfield is always in those "top 300" or even "top 200" colleges and universities books. It's not the ivy league, but it is a good school.</p>
