down to the last week...

<p>For me, I just hope it doesn’t come on Friday, because I have a speech competition this weekend, and it’s a two day-er, which means that if it came on Friday I wouldn’t be able to open it until SUNDAY (my worst nightmare, next to not getting in =/ )</p>

<p>However, the town I live in was founded by Seventh-Day Adventists, which means mail comes on Sundays instead of Saturdays, so hopefully that’s when it will come.</p>

<p>I’ve instructed my dad not to even touch the mailbox this week until I get to it first…</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you ED applicants! I was admitted to Haverford on Dec. 1 (Questbridge program), and I was extremely anxious and nervous. I will let you know, however, that I did blast music and dance when I found out. ;)</p>

<p>congrats, sligh! I guess you are considered to be part of the ED pool then? or something else altogether?</p>

<p>Well, my decision through the Questbridge program is binding (as in I will see some of you guys next year at Haverford, hahaha!), but I am not sure if I am part of the aggregate pool of early decision applicants when it comes to analyzing the statistics for ED, etc.</p>

<p>Ralphie! Guess who this is :smiley: I finally joined this website! And you are soo getting into Haverford (stapling that 20 to the application will rly help)</p>

<p>No you did not just say that…Everyone please ignore the last comment. It was made by someone from my school. However, congratulations on finally joining in. =]</p>

<p>Hey guys. The online checklist says “We expect to mail admission decisions early in the week of December 10.” Maybe that means we’ll get our decisions by the end of the week?</p>

<p>Yeah, the website says that today was their last day of early decision committee. That means they will probably mail them tomorrow! Ah! That means we get them friday or saturday!</p>

<p>“we will be mailing decisions early in the week of December 10”. What? who refers to a week with the date on wednesday? Maybe they mean “early in the week, by December 10.” So we could get them as early as thursday? kill me.</p>

<p>Haha, I thought that was weird too. Just curious–did you guys interview?</p>

<p>Yeah, you’d think they’d give us a more precise date. </p>

<p>I interviewed on campus, yeah.</p>

<p>i interviewed, but it was only my second, and looking back on it, i cant imagine it was very good =/ oh well. its all done. theres almost a 100% chance theyve made a decision about me already. carumba! </p>

<p>i think, metro, they are vague because they have an unprecedentedly large number of applications and theyre not sure how many to admit. this is a guess, of course. but the fact that this year they recieved more than 30 more applications than last year is true.</p>

<p>good luck to all of you! The ED number is higher this year!</p>

<p>Higher as in applicants? (Because we knew that from an article someone posted a while back.). Or higher as in acceptance rate?! (Is this inside info?)</p>

<p>Wow. this is it! The final stretch! This was truly unbearable…sleepless at night!
If i don’t get accepted i have to submit all of my RD applications. Which, will be a tremendous pain. How’s everyone coping with this…so far? And, what school’s will you be applying to, if by chance, you do not get accepted to Haverford?</p>

<p>I ossilate between extreme anxiety and forgetting it’s even happening. I’ve been bad and haven’t started my RD supplemental essays, whoops :p. If I get rejected, I might apply to Amherst, Middlebury, Bowdoin, Carleton, Kenyon, Macalester (maybe), and Skidmore (I don’t know why). I’m on the fence about Swarthmore.</p>

<p>Haverford was my first (and so far only) interview. It was with an admissions rep at my school when he came to visit. I thought it went well enough, but I keep replaying it over in my head, finding new awkward comments or moments.</p>

<p>I think starbucks was referring to the fact that there are more apps this year, but I don’t know for sure (it seems a bit early for them to be talking about their early admit rate…)</p>

<p>Am I the only one who’s become an insomniac because of the wait?</p>

<p>Haha, I haven’t slept well since the start of the week. Something tells me it’s only going to get worse. I envision lots of caffeine in my near future. Driving around for no reason blasting music always makes it better but that’s been hard with tons of snow and ice. </p>

<p>My RD list is Bates, Brown, Hamilton, Oberlin, Pomona, Princeton, Swarthmore, Wesleyan, and Yale.</p>

<p>mt holyoke, cornell, hamilton, carleton (?), wellesley, uva (?). </p>

<p>but really, im into pitt already with a big scholarship. so if i dont get into hford, i just want to apply to mt holyoke (the only place, except maybe for wellesley, from the above list that i REALLY want to go to) and then choose between mtholyoke and pitt. im not trying to write more essays. im going to be so heartbroken if i dont get in, “why hamilton” and “why carleton” are going to sound exactly the same to me. </p>

<p>my sleeping has been fine. i havent even had any haverford dreams in weeks, which is wierd. but then again, i can sleep through anything.</p>

<p>My sleeping has gone down hill, but what I find is that if I know I can’t go to sleep until 12 or so then I’ll just stay up studying and that will get me to go to bed.</p>

<p>RD I’m thinking Colby, Bates, Grinnell, Bowdoin, Macalester, and Fordham. I’ve started my essays, but they are not nearly finished…</p>

<p>Well, as a parent of an EDer and also sympathetic to all of you CCer’s, I just called Admissions to see if they would tell me if letters were being mailed today, but all the receptionist would tell me is that letters should be received by Monday. So if anyone else has any better luck, post away! Best of luck to all of you who have been sharing your hopes and anxieties on this forum (as well as to those lurking)! Remember that you are all very talented, bright and resourceful young women and men, and that you hold the key to your own happiness and success, whether you end up at Haverford or another wonderful school. And a special shout out for good luck to radionowhere, based on her (?) dedication to Haverford and it’s CC threads since before this time last year!</p>
