Im not completely sure how I’m going to involve my mom yet. I do know that in her perfect world she would be involved in every college letter sent to me.
My mom says that she can tell when I’m thinking about Harvard because I’ll get this worried, dejected look on my face. Mom’s know everything.
I haven’t slept in a while because of the stress over this, and my mom’s noticing how it’s affecting me. I deny that it’s because of next week, but it’s pretty obvious. I want it to be a pleasant surprise for both me and her, but this is such a weird school when it comes to decisions.
6 days, 17 hours, 44 minutes, 22 seconds
^^champ. Even got the seconds down.
Harvard SCEA thread: 103 pages. Williams ED thread: less than 10. <:-P
Not too nervous tbh :-S I’m so busy with school work (IB…) that I don’t really have time to think about college
@MrTongueTie haha this is nothing compared to UPENN ED though… Give them a quick look
I’m so focused on calc…but I’m stuck here
@TLCO99 that school was Johns Hopkins. They mistakenly sent acceptance emails to like 300 rejected students… That makes me shudder
@Sajidur4 Oh God @-) Over 180k views on the thread…crazy.
@Sajidur4 How did they resolve it? A second email? I would be so upset I can’t even imagine.
Well decisions come out around 2pm for me since I’m on the West Coast but I’m heading to a concert that night anyways so… I guess its a win win? Either way I’m hoping I won’t be too sad afterwards
I’m so lucky that I’m on the East Coast so I find out after I get home from school…I don’t want to imagine what it’s like to find out in school.
@schroscat I find out at 4. Should I just not look for a while, keep the illusion…
If any of you would like to use my plan: Tell your parents that decisions come out on the 15th (like it sort of implies on the website) and then if you get accepted on the 10th, you can surprise them out of nowhere…but if you get deferred or denied, it won’t seem like such a letdown to them because they won’t be able to build it up so much. Just a thought!
@pioneer16 I would but I’m very chatty and can’t go through things without support. Like I wish I had the restraint to not tell people I applied to Harvard but I told them anyways because I just like to talk about life and now everyone is going to be disappointed. And now I’m being chatty again.
@schroscat My reaction will have to be narrowed down to only tears and screaming. Considering I find out on the drive home from school… Might wait to get home but lets be honest, minute it goes up I’m checking.
@tuty143 @pioneer16 I WISH I HAD DONE THAT! I’ve been keeping my mom on tabs on the countdown…so I’m not sure how I can make her forget the date. I’m like tuty: I’ve told my friends and family (although they have already known I was going to apply) when decisions are being released. It’s so incredibly stressful because for some odd reason, they think I’m going to be accepted. It’s just…I don’t know.
@snackpack02 I feel like either way, a huge force of pressure will be lifted from my shoulders. The past few days have really been hard for me, and I think Thursday will end it, whether it’s good or bad, it is what it is.
