<p>Should I check my decision or wait until Spring Break is over? </p>
<p>On one hand, I don’t want it to ruin my entire spring break. But simultaneously, I feel that if i don’t check it, the anticipation will kill me.</p>
<p>Hi jerseygirl,</p>
<p>a)I’d be impressed if you could wait the whole spring break. :)</p>
<p>b)Don’t forget that unlike in EA, you’re not just finding out about Harvard- you’re finding out about every single school. That means that chances are very good that you’ll get into a school you’ll love, even if it isn’t Harvard. (At least, I hope you’re happy with a few schools besides Harvard).</p>
<p>Believe me, no matter what school you’re going to, it’s much better to KNOW than to wonder. You get to join the facebook group for that school, look up stuff about it, haunt its college confidential boards- it’s fun.</p>
<p>Don’t spend your spring break wondering what school you’re going to get into. Spend it wondering which of the schools you got into you’re going to go to, or what you’re going to do at the school you’ve chosen. It’s a lot more fun and much more relaxing.</p>
<p>I can’t even IMAGINE waiting if the information was available to me. Back when I was applying (three years in a row), there was no email notification, and we had to wait for the big stone envelope to arrive via pterodactyl. IMHO, the uncertainty caused me a lot more agony than the bad news.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ahahah funniest thing I’ve read all day</p>
<p>haha the big stone envelope cracked me up too :)</p>
<p>dude 22 days…can you believe it!!!</p>
<p>OI… I don’t know… but until I chisel open that huge envelope, in all technicallity I have no been rejected or accepted… 
again, it delays the collapse of the wave function. Does anyone know how to turn off that thing on outlook that pops up when “you got mail” with the first line of you email screaming at you? I can’t just “not use my computer” for the week between the arrival of mail and the emailing of decision…</p>
<p>Haha it’s the same here, except it’s on the first day of my spring break I believe. I’ll go to the beach afterwards or something to destress and laugh about the whole process eitherway.</p>
<p>7 dayssssss!</p>
<p>(that kinda reminds me of the Ring)</p>
<p>I requested to get my letter sent only by mail and not e-mail. I want to do it the old fashion way.</p>
<p>Rejection - I cry in my locked room with the letter in my clenched fists for a couple of days…</p>
<p>Acceptance - I cry happy tears and jump gleefully while holding my letter or glory…</p>
<p>Yeah…I’ve thought about this one too much.</p>
<p>yeah im gonna be on an overnight visit at a different college when the results for all the ivies come out, awkward much?</p>
<p>ouch that is very awkward!</p>
<p>tell me about it…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The colleges arrange it that way on purpose. You think they don’t know? 
They WANT you to be in their grasp when you hear from their competitors.</p>
<p>My EA results came out the day before my winter break, during which I went to Key West. I thought about not checking it, but luckily gave in to temptation. It made that week so much more relaxing.</p>
<p>Even if I hadn’t gotten in, though, I find nervous anxiousness a lot worse that disappointment.</p>
<p>My spring break falls the week before decisions are released (i.e. I start spring break tomorrow). I know for some people at my school, this will be torture - they wont be able to find anything to do over break other than stress about colleges. Myself, I’m going to play ball at the local college and hope that it passes the time quickly.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would check it right away - see Admiral’s point b =)</p>
