Oh my gosh I literally flipped out when I got the email my mom was literally like, if you're like this now how are you going to act on Thursday? Lol! I'm sooo sooo nervous I'm not going to be able to get any work done this week now. Thank goodness I was already planning on not going to school on Friday (I have a doctors appt in the morning and I have no classes in the afternoon) it gives me the weekend to cool down....

Yay a decision date! Gosh though, was I the only one who looked at that email heading in their inbox and thought it was the real deal? I really lingered on opening it but then was like, "Let's just do this." and whoosh, just a notification thank god.

3 days 2 hours 58 minutes....

I shrieked from surprise and my dogs both jumped.

Of course I'm happy that we finally know when we'll know! And that we'll know soon. But now I don't know what to think, it's such a shock that it's Thursday!

Ya, two days...I don't know how to feel...elated because I might get an acceptance? or completely torn and devastated because I might get a rejection?

I got the email in Multivar.

Imagine the looks I got from my friends when I just stared at my cellphone for a good 5 minutes.

Here's a template for the Results thread. I used the one from last years and added a few improvements. Whoever logs in first on the 11th should create the Results thread.

Remember, you have to delete the space immediately after the first bracket for the formatting to work. So [ code] becomes [code]

i felt my phone vibrate, indicating i received an email, in spanish class, the one class where the teacher is extremely strict and its really hard to look at your cell phone.
so the next hour in math class i put my phone on my desk behind my books and opened my inbox. i saw the email and read it and then just looked around at everyone and smiled strangely.
i was a lot more composed than i thought i would be. but of course you can't really freak out when you're trying to learn derivatives.

and i know that i am officially addicted to this forum because right after i got the email, the first thing i wanted to do was go to this website and post something!

hello my name is zeke and i am addicted talk.collegeconfidential.com!!!!
