<p>I think I speak for more than myself when I say that the anticipation is killing me.</p>
<p>Aww I remember this feeling . . . in December lol. It’ll come quicker/slower than you think 
, but be glad for the mystery of the release date - it’s fun when it comes as a surprise, even though the uncertainty drives you nuts at times (it’s certainly better than having a countdown of days/hrs/mins as we did for a friend of mine waiting for ED at another school). Try doing other things to occupy your time (read a book for fun, jump rope, SLEEP) and don’t obsessively check the uncommonapp/the blog/CC (I mean it, don’t). Good luck RDers! (from an EA admit) :-)</p>
<p>^ good advice, but I could have gone without the annoying references to the fact that you got in. I get that you’re excited, and that’s great, and you have a right to talk about. I just would not do it on a thread where deferred and RD hopefuls like myself are looking for comfort from people who are in the same situation.</p>
<p>anticipation is killing me more than anyone else…</p>
<p>whats a couple more weeks if u’ve already waited several months? <thats what=“” i=“” keep=“” telling=“” myself=“”></thats></p>
<p>Just think back to March 1st… it feels almost like it was yesterday, doesn’t it? Well, since then, you’ve already come a third of the way there!</p>
<p>yeah but for EA i really had no idea when they would release decisions…and then it came…suddenly, the night before english finals…deffered. le sigh.</p>
<p>Yep, I remember the feeling well from December. I can’t describe it as anticipation, and anxiety’s even further from the truth. It’s more like having something on my To Do list that I can’t hurry up and take care of.</p>
<p>As a bit of advice from someone that was deferred: if you’re rejected, go out and do something that you love. Don’t give yourself a chance to feel sorry for yourself. Go celebrate what you’re good at and revel in it. That’s what I did (though circumstances helped out, it was the night of a big performance for me), and I found that it helps. A lot.</p>
<p>Is there a specific date that they’re supposed to come out? Everything I find seems to be a bit vague.</p>
<p>By April 1st. I believe it came out on the 20-somethingth last year, same time the Ivy leaguers released their results, but don’t quote me on that.</p>
<p>But for the most part, everything doesn’t just seem to be vague, it is vague.</p>
<p>april 1st, that means 3 weeks tops till we find out! waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting…</p>
<p>I’m not thinking about it. Really.</p>
<p>It makes life easier.</p>
<p>Ah, but you are posting here nonetheless. :P</p>
<p>Hah, enjoy life as is :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, it was definitely a surprise… I wasn’t expecting them for another week. Deferred as well. I moped all night and went to school miserable and a bit delirious.
In hindsight, I think it was a bit silly of me to let it affect me so much. Still hope the RD round is kind, though. : P</p>
<p>@made4uchicago: I apologize, I didn’t mean to make the anticipation worse or sound arrogant. Hope the decisions go well for you all!</p>
<p>Can I please just get a rejection* already?Tthe suspense is making me nervous and unfocused to the point of crazieness :[</p>
<p>*I think it’s be better to be pleasantly suprised than disappointed.</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as you, Concrete Jungle. I was surprised when EA decisions came out, and alas, a deferral. I was pretty upset at first, but then I realized that I was actually lucky to get deferred. Hoping for the best come RD, but who knows.</p>
<p>I was also deferred under EA. Somehow I think getting rejected now will hurt less than getting deferred did!</p>
<p>You know when you’re lying in bed and just waiting to go to sleep? Am I the only one who is sitting awake thinking “Oh god… One day closer to admissions.”</p>
<p>I think this is a funny time for seniors. Frankly, a lot fo my classmates are running around anxiously and I don’t think they could care if the Dalhi Lama pimpsmacked the Chinese PM, they would still only be thinking about admissions.</p>
<p>Oh well! Spring break soon adn then I have 24/7 to think about it :)</p>
