<p>so i have decided to put a stop to the ap prep, and homework till thursday, i can concentrate. This is driving me insane. So everyone list the ivy league (or other school) you all are waiting to hear from on the 29th, and the order in which you have decided to check the decisions! Good Luck to Everyone!</p>
<p>oh jeez... i didn't realize these were all on thursday.</p>
<p>1) yale...don't think i'm in
2) harvard...will be surprised & excited if i make it
3) columbia...wait, maybe i should check this first, because if i'm rejected at harvard and yale and then columbia too, i'm gonna be soooo bummed. my interview for columbia went so well and she practically told me i'd be in, but i don't want to count on it too much. holy crap how can i take this much nervousness??</p>
<p>when are amherst and swarthmore notifying people? u chicago?</p>
<p>yeah those six are the only ones i haven't heard from... i'm hoping to get at least waitlisted at some of them, disappointing as that will be. better than outright rejection, i guess. i've already got 2 waitlists under my belt and 5 acceptances with merit scholarships ranging from $3-16,000/year, but it wouldn't really make sense if i didn't get into any schools without merit, would it? anyways, i have prepared myself for not getting into yale and harvard, i wouldn't be too bummed about swarthmore or u chicago, but oh my gosh - amherst and columbia - if i'm rejected at both, i will be so sad.</p>
<p>good thing i have spring break this week!!!!</p>
<p>advice about the order i should check in to minimize disappointments??</p>
<p>right...just thought of something else. so far it's been comforting when i see an envelope to just know it's an acceptance or rejection/waitlist just by looking at it, so maybe i should not check online at all and wait for it to come in the mail? k, so i'm prolly too impatient to actually do that, but then i get the punched-in-the-stomach feeling, like what i just got today with my sarah lawrence waitlist, at the mailbox instead of in front of the computer screen. which is somehow more comforting.</p>
<p>i wish i was a junior again and not going through all this senior stress.</p>
