<p>Haha, I know you were just kidding Peyton...but it does seem like the WashU stereotype may be true!</p>
<p>Entangled- I'm right there with you, believe me. :)</p>
<p>@ bizzyjudy - The Marleys did indeed have a secret weapon of calmness. It was called ganja, friend :P</p>
<p>[Feels the love, passes it on.]</p>
<p>Well I have pretty much effectively decided that I am going to be rejected, so right now I am falling more in love with my safety.</p>

I'm optimistic right now....which worries me. Is that possible? lol

<p>Yeah, after getting Columbia/Duke likely letters and accepted by Pomona, I have this odd confidence building, even though it's not a good thing to have as it only sets me up for disappointment.</p>
<p>But for some reason I actually don't really care about these decisions now. Maybe that's a sign I'm satisfied with the schools I'm already accepted to?</p>
<p>Lolcats, congratulations for Pomona! I love that places, if I don't get Yale EA then I'm definitely applying to Pomona.</p>
<p>As for the rest of you.. don't underestimate the power of positive thinking! I truly believe that really focused positive energy can help influence things.</p>
<p>Look at it this way.. no matter what the applicant pool, SOME people have to be accepted. And it might just as well be you!</p>
<p>Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Needed to spew my guts all over the keyboard before they caused some sort of internal combustion. I was deferred SCEA, which was equal parts disappointing and exciting, with a dash of getting-my-hopes-up. I continue to tell myself that my chances are nil and that I shouldn't be disappointed if I'm rejected, but I know that I'm lying to myself.</p>
<p>I haven't cried since the season two finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I'm pretty sure that there will be tears tomorrow at 5:00 PM. [Yes, I sometimes watch television; does this decrease my chances of acceptance?]</p>
<p>I've been accepted to a few random schools, so it's not Cuban Missle Crisis 2.0 if I'm rejected; honestly, at this point I'm just going to be relieved to have a decision.</p>
<p>I feel better now. Why hadn't I posted here before? It's like a massage for the soul.</p>
<p>@portuguesenina: hah, sure i'll give that a try.</p>
<p>I will get into Yale. I will get into Yale. I will get into Yale...</p>

<p>i'm right there with you. when i applied to these schools it was basically for the hell of it; i even neglected to apply to stanford since its supplement was so arduous and i figured that i had little to no chance of anything resembling a positive result, but after getting early acceptances/likely letters from other ivy league/similar schools i started thinking maybe i actually have a shot and now i'm a little nervous and pretty excited and ugh **** you columbia tomorrow is going to suck</p>
<p>I just checked the mail and had acceptances from William and Mary and NYU... the last two before the Ivies come out. <em>bites fingernails</em></p>
<p>I am downloading Erik Satie to calm myself for tomorrow. It's weird. My teacher sponsor had to cancel, so I have no meeting tomorrow. Which means I get to wait at least two hours from when I get home. I won't have any calculus homework because we're taking a quiz. Reading my AP English book only takes so much time.</p>
<p>I think I'll make another music video, then. It'll be a challenge! The one I made for SCEA took me two hours. Shall I be able to pull one off in 1.5?</p>
<p>^ god, I love erik satie!</p>
