<p>Let’s think positive though about making in rather than rejected. We have spent our entire lives for next Thursday. Let’s not get ourselves down. B-) </p>
<p>Not meaning to think pessimistically, but I enter D-Day with low expectations of an acceptance. That way I won’t feel as heartbroken, and at the tiniest chance that I do make it I’ll be on cloud nine. </p>

Thats the right mindset in my opinion when applying to schools with less than 15 percent acceptance rates!</p>
<p>Yeh I have that too but I enforce that attitude on that day, why suffer a whole week.</p>
<p>I can’t help thinking that the admissions people are still laughing at my SAT scores and the fact that I applied with them at all. I’d like to make myself think that they’ll accept me because of my great sense of humour 
On the other hand, there is reality.</p>
<p>@astaff95 Reality is so overrated! </p>
<p>@matrixsurgeon Are you a fellow History major?</p>
<p>@jackson61
No man, thinking about a History minor though! Definitely will take some history classes, mostly stuff about wars and conflicts (WWs, Revolutions,etc). But I definitely have a thing for history though!</p>
<p>@matrixsurgeon I went through a crazy French Revolution phase… actually, I’m still in it. AUX ARMES, CITOYENS-! ;)</p>
<p>@jackson61 I may minor in history 
more of an interest in 15th-16th century British history… Wars of the Roses… and any sort of wars or revolutions, like @matrixsurgeon</p>
<p>^I’m a Greco-Roman guy myself, but the French Revolution is pretty cool. I’m mainly interested in the idealogical evolution though, not the events. The scale of events in Ancient times kinda ruins the events between Mongolian Rule and the first world war for me, just not as poingant.</p>
<p>@jackson61
Hahahah!! I love that statement!!</p>
<p>Anyone here a historical literature buff? I love reading works that “changed history.” Stuff like biographies, political manifests (capitalism, communism, nazism, socialism), and philosophical books. It is pretty extraordinary to realize just how much power the books have in history. </p>
<p>@LAMuniv ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE TUDORS? I’VE BEEN INTERESTED IN THE TUDORS SINCE I WAS SEVEN </p>
<p>@matrixsurgeon Uncle Tom’s Cabin, anyone?</p>
<p>If I’m crazy about the French Revolution, I’m absolutely INSANE about the American Civil War. =P~ </p>
<p>@TrinidadJames22 Being half Greek and raised by a nationalistic family, I’ve developed an interest in Greek history :)</p>
<p>I am more of a roman history nerd kind of guy even though I don’t intend on majoring or minoring in history.</p>
<p>@jackson61 I don’t know nearly as much about the Tutors as I do the various York/Lancaster rulers that came before them (largely through my class in Shakespeare’s Henriad), but I obviously find them interesting :D</p>
<p>lol guys we totally just hijacked the Yale RD thread and turned it into a historical interests forum…</p>
<p>(Because historians will rule the world. And then write about it.)</p>
<p>@jackson61
Tom’s Cabin!! YES</p>
<p>American Revolution and American Civil War all the way!! My favorite favorite times are WW1 and WW2. I have read so many books and stuff about both sides of each war and I have learned so much, lot more than what my biased textbooks have taught me. </p>
<p>My favorite type of fiction? Historical fiction, especially authors that back up their works with tremendous amounts of research and facts.</p>
<p>@matrixsurgeon</p>
<p>Yup, I’m really interested in the evolution of ideas through time and area, not just mannifesto’s and stuff, but everyday life. Diderot is like a personal hero for me, I think everything we have today hinges on someone like him doing what he did.</p>
<p>@LAMuniv</p>
<p>Man, I dream about going to Greece, Visiting Athens, Sailing from those Islands to say, turkey. I imagine what it would be like to live there and then all the time and feel like I was born 2000 years late.</p>
