<p>^Really? I don’t see it as work being paid off; even if i don’t get in, i won’t be disappointed. I would like to get in because I actually want to go to a place where the students actually enjoy learning and are motivated. I guess that’s just me…</p>
<p>I see it as a great accomplishment to get into a school like Duke or Penn…Obviously, I want to go there b/c of the type of students that go there too (thats actually what i wrote my “Why____” essays on)</p>
<p>I just meant that if i have to go to a lesser school, i want it to be b/c we couldnt afford it, not bc i couldnt get accepted</p>
<p>Haha that reminds me of “I just want to get in so I can turn them down”</p>
<p>You can get student loans??</p>
<p>I’m stressing outtt. I’m reading my Duke supplement and thinking that my short essays kind of suck. :/</p>
<p>blueducky…don’t read em. there’s nothing you can do to change them, so there’s no reason to read them.</p>
<p>Haha pretty much</p>
<p>But I plan to go to med school so I don t want too much debt from undergrad. </p>
<p>I refused to read my essays after I’m submitted them!</p>
<p>i made the mistake of reading my essays too.</p>
<p>NOOOOOOO 
this wait is unbearable. straight up emotional rollercoaster. i really, really just want to know. :(</p>
<p>I refused and banned everyone in my house from ever touching them. </p>
<p>But, 10 mins after I got home from the post office (to send in my Emory Scholars essay), my sister hold up my essay and goes “this ISNT the one you turned in, right?”</p>
<p>I had made a simple, obvious error and had overlooked it completely. It was too late.</p>
<p>It happens…</p>
<p>I made the mistake of putting “their” instead of “his or her” in my essay.</p>
<p>Life goes on.</p>
<p>^sampole, LOL. Don’t you just love it when that happens.</p>
<p>Oh yea, I was so scared when I saw that i left out the word “the” in the last sentence of my Regents scholarship stuff for UCLA. It didn’t matter. :)</p>
<p>Another time, I dropped supplementary info off at the post office, I went back an hour later to retrieve it because I accidentally put “Yale’s standards” in a letter addressed to Columbia. I think I’m in love with the post office lady.</p>
<p>yah i changed the structure of a sentence and then left the word “and” in it, and it completely didnt make sense…i just skipped right over it b/c i practically had the essay memorized when i was proofing it. It sucks, but life goes on.</p>
<p>i sent in the wrong copy of my common app accidentally. so i’m expecting a rejection. also, duke sent a letter to my school’s guidance office telling them to expect a lot of rejection this year</p>
<p>I heard those Standard don’t expect many admit letters went out to all the guidance counselors, even those that counselors who had students that had gotten likely lettters. Who knows?</p>
<p>Omg, about 2 more days…</p>
<p>“I heard those Standard don’t expect many admit letters went out to all the guidance counselors, even those that counselors who had students that had gotten likely lettters. Who knows?”</p>
<p><em>scratches head</em></p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>some people got UCLA regents invitations and were later rejected.</p>
<p>So my BSAI invitation does not guarantee acceptance?</p>
<p>You’re going to make me cry.</p>
<p>shut up bsai is basically an early acceptance. why would they spend so much money on ppl they were going to reject, think about it</p>
<p>Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa… Where are ID and PW? WTH</p>
<p>i’m wishing for a miracle.</p>
