Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@entropist I actually dreamed that I was not accepted, but deferred. It was really harsh; I hope that I will be able to cope with a deferral better than I did in my dream. :confused:

I also don’t have any outside pressure: my family wants me to stay in Germany. But I put a lot of pressure on myself.

@goldenmaster
I had a dream like that, too! It was quite horrible. I’m also now worried that I might not be able to handle a deferral as well as I once thought.

T-minus 100 hours, guys!!!

I had a dream that the admissions counselor that I met showed up to me school, Harvard sweatshirt in hand, telling me, “Congrats, you’re in!”

Another dream I had needs a little backstory. My school broadcasts the morning announcements through the tv studio; we have our own little “channel” within the school, and I am a news anchor once a week.

So…I sit on the set, and get mic’ed up. We start rolling, and the principal says, “Here’s a box that came in the mail for you.” It has no return address. Just your standard cardboard box. It’s December 10th, but I’m not even thinking about that. I open the box, and on top is my acceptance letter along with some Harvard swag. I scream and burst into tears…on live television.

If you guys get in, what song are you going to play full blast? (Mine would be Jumpman by Drake)

entropist,…You are actually thinking of deferral. That takes confidence man. Me, I am thinking of rejection. Rejection to the point where the admissions committee will surely add (in my rejection mail),…‘Why you waste our time’?

I can’t even remember my dreams so y’all at least lucky, but then again I can’t remember anything if it happened more than a week ago

@Jinxxx Probably Michael Jackson’s The Way You Make Me Feel and sing to my acceptance screen.

If I was accepted, I don’t know if I will even have a dramatic reaction. I’ll probably just look at my laptop for awhile then run to tell my parents. I definitely won’t cry because I’m not the crying type at all and Harvard hasn’t been a school that I’ve dreamed about since I was a small kid

Guys, you need to relax. Dreaming about your decision?! Not sleeping?
What are you guys going to do during the year if you get in?

@tuty143 that one’s good too! MJ speaks to the soul.

Song: We are the Champions

I remember having a dream where I had to sacrifice my friend to the flounder gods.

@Soheils Start dorm shopping immediately. Also catching up on the sleep I won’t get during freshman year.

@Soheils I’m going to be fine honestly. I think for me getting that first rejection will be the most upsetting, but I don’t tend to dwell on things.
@QueenN22 I remember almost all my dreams, its so amazing because my dreams are the freakiest lol. But I usually can only have them when I sleep more than 7 hours so during the school year they are diminished sadly :frowning:

i didn’t even know what sat was until august and would not have even given sat if it wasn’t required in pakistan

@tuty143 I am the king of weird dreams. I once dreamed that I was a giant 4 feet long spider, with a human face. I also had this brother who worked for NASA and had a crush on his boss. When I finally encouraged him to propose to her, a bunch of terrorists attacked us, so they fled on my back.
I also once dreamed my own execution. For some reason, My executioner was very insistent on convincing me to escape, while I was insisting on being executed.
@schroscat If I get in, I am gonna make some money as an English tutor. I am also going to learn the Santoor, and polish up my sketching skills. (I am already an official English teacher, so I just have to renew my contracts)

@tuty143 Did you love enjoy state? I was at girls state CA this summer and it was the one of the best experiences!

@Soheils Why must you wait until you’re accepted to be an English tutor?

@TLCO99 hated it! But notoriously we have a bad one because of the people (rural town girls are the WORST) so…idk. I met some really great friends but we were counting down the days and complaining the whole time haha.

@schroscat I am already a tutor, I just want a justification to increase my charge.

@Soheils building credibility. genius.
