DreamsAreReal: it’s normal to be anxious about your eventual decision. To lose sleep over minute matters that you have absolutely no control over is wasted energy and emotion. If you’re anywhere near a viable Brown applicant, then I’m sure you can better spend your remaining HS days than sweating over myths and rumors of the admissions process. When I was in your shoes, I was having the time of my life – college decisions be d***ed (it helped that I already had a UMich accept since October). I was cranking in my classes, going out (or at least asking) w/ all the girls I wanted to, having a blast w/my friends and making great memories. My “countdown” was to HS graduation, not Ivy notification day.

What they’ll decide has already been done. I refused to let that define me-- and I didn’t. Try to do the same. Many Brown applicants are going to be sad the evening of Mar 28. you might even be one of them. But so what? The sun will still rise on the 29th and you’ll 99.9% likely have a super successful college career at some other great place. This is a bad thing?
