Ah, I see. I'm surprised you pick Yale over Harvard though.

lolToasty · 03-19-2012, 03:52 AM

Why is that? I just felt much happier at Yale is all. Of course, that won't mean anything if I get rejected haha

10 days and 1 hour-ish!
It's weird because I'll be on Spring Break then and instead of wishing it would last forever I'll be wishing it would the end would just come already so I could get my decisions.

My teacher only just emailed my 'additional achievements' letter today!
I that absolutely terrible? Will they even read it !!?

Someone please tell me I'm from the UK i have no idea!

I'm going to look at schools in the order I want to go to them. For me, the order is going to be:
1. Harvard and Princeton (tied for first)
2. Stanford
3. Yale
4. Brown
5. Dartmouth
6. Columbia

If I havent been admitted anywhere by Columbia, I'll be crushed x(

10 days!!!!!!!
How are you guys dealing with the stress?

londongally · 03-19-2012, 04:35 PM

Hey kpackett,
I find eating and shouting at my family to be very helpful you should try it

lolToasty · 03-19-2012, 05:35 PM

I'm not really stressed. I mean, it's all done. Oh well. No need to worry haha

theamazingemz · 03-19-2012, 05:43 PM

Yeah, I'm not too stressed. I've gotten likelies/early writes/notifications to Dartmouth, Smith, and NYU, so whatever happens I know I'm set. In fact, even if I get into HYP, I may still choose Dartmouth. So now I'm just waiting haha.

I think I'll check in this order: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Dartmouth. I'm ambivalent towards Penn and Columbia (which is kind of ironic considering I was deferred from Columbia for ED haha), and I know about Dartmouth already.

It'll be here before we know it, guys (:

lolToasty · 03-19-2012, 05:51 PM

I wish I had liked Dartmouth... But I do have Columbia in my back pocket. Hyp would still be awesome though

is it taboo to have already joined the MIT'16 facebook group if we're still holding out for the a few of the ivies and Stanford?

lolToasty · 03-19-2012, 08:24 PM

I'm on the page too. I figure its not bad to make friends, right? Haha

Agreed!

I feel like asking on the page if anybody else is an epic CC user like us lol

classicgirll · 03-19-2012, 09:37 PM

What about people that haven't gotten LLs/early writes...
What order are you checking decisions in on Ivy Day?

I'm thinking
Most likely --> least likely (based purely on acceptance rates from years past)
Cornell > UPenn > Dartmouth > Brown > Princeton > Yale > Columbia > Harvard

Purpender · 03-19-2012, 11:11 PM

@classicgirll

Most Likely > Least Likely

Dartmouth > Penn > Brown > Princeton > Harvard > Yale

I got contacted by D fin aid a while back so I think I got in... also likely'd at Duke... we'll see.
