<p>Early Decision notices come out next week! Now who in here is starting to feel the heat? For the last couple of days, my mind has been permeated with thoughts of rejection when I login to the decision account.</p>
<p>Who here is expecting a decision next week? </p>
<p>I applied ED to Penn, and decisions will be available online December 14th at 5:00PM (not sure if that's EST or PST)!</p>
<p>Any tips on how to keep my head screwed on straight before next Thursday? :p</p>
<p>Yep, all I've been thinking about (literally, no matter what I'm doing, my mind comes back to this) is my ED Swarthmore decision. </p>
<p>Except Swat is silly and doesn't use the internet for decisions so we all have to wait for snail mail...which is leaving me with a lot of anxiety. Big envelope? Small envelope? Mail's early? Late? I hope I don't come out of this with ulcers, haha.</p>
<p>OMG! ME TOO! Every single thing. I dream about it, christ. Exactly how I feel. You have no idea. And the days seem so much longer now!! I am so nervous about JHU! I just want to like sleep until I get the decision.</p>
<p>Dude that sucks! So you might not even get it on December 15? It might be later? Glad I don't have to go through the snail mail thing.</p>
<p>Tinas, oh man, I've had BAD dreams, all of them with me never opening the account to see my decision because I think frankly I can't imagine myself getting accepted. It's all so surreal. We've seen people go through this all our lives and now it's finally our turn haha.</p>
<p>I know, all the people in my classes (all the IB kids applied ED to UVA and WM) have gotten their letters and my best friends got their acceptences from UVA and WM, and I'm sooooooo nervous because now its gonna be our turn! I had a dream that opened my letter finally, and I got rejected and I started to cry in my dream. I woke up with tears in my eyes =(</p>
<p>Haha, I can't say I've had many actual dreams about it, but...it is on my mind ALL the time. It's really quite distracting. Trust me, I know EXACTLY how you feel. This school's been my top choice for years...the moment of truth arriving makes me nervous.</p>
<p>Yep, it really does suck...I hate that it's only sent through mail. It makes it so much worse. Ahhhh.</p>
<p>My comes through email and before I was like "no way am I getting rejected through an Email" But there is no way I can wait another week! I'm forwarding it to my phone, which I am going to check 24/7 at school. Watch me like start screaming and jump in class! </p>
<p>I know, like I cannot focus on anything else!</p>
<p>Ahh, lucky. I think that mine is one of the few first-tier schools that doesn't use any online notification at all. Oh well. Maybe mine'll come early. That'd be nice. Who knows. :]</p>
<p>I mean, I'm sure it'll be fine either way. There ARE other schools that I'm sure would be really good for me, but once you've found a perfect fit...you're usually bound to latch on, haha.</p>
<p>I've purposely left a bunch of other app work to do within the next couple weeks-- thinking of every other school actually keeps my mind of my early schools. I'm that sort of person anyway (I like to keep busy), so I'm certainly not recommending it for the person who gets anxious with any mention of college (the "c" word as my friends refer to it). In fact, we enacted a rule for all social gathering on weekends: anyone who mentions applications, admissions, SATs, or anything relating to the "c" word must pay everyone else present a dollar. It's really a great rule haha, it keeps everyone sane!</p>
<p>^ nice way to keep everyone sane</p>
<p>Lol, I already know that I'm in (one of the directors knows my dad and he called lk a couple weeks ago.) But that's not really kosher so I can't say anything for a couple more days....Not as stressful as yall I guess, but torture of another sort...</p>
<p>tip-exercise (a lot) when u go 2 bed you'll just pass out, rather then counting the days, hours, minutes, seconds....</p>
<p>^ Yeah I think that's a good idea. I did that the last two weeks, but this week I haven't had time to work out this week at all, so maybe that's why it's going by SO SLOWLY. I can't believe today's only Wednesday!!</p>
