<p>DC: PM ME ABOUT IT NOwWWWWW.</p>
<p>I am so bossy. <em>preen</em></p>
<p>It went really well! This guy was nice, so we got a nice conversation out of it. :)</p>
<p>Nice!</p>
<p>PM me Quasi’s PM tooooooo!</p>
<p>I guess I will be the one reviving this thread. </p>
<p>And you call yourself devoted?</p>
<p>…Sorry, mom. :(</p>
<p>Dude, nobody has posted here in almost a month…</p>
<p>I’ve settled into the long wait. Not particularly anxious or anything anymore, although I suspect I will relapse in late March.</p>
<p>I literally got super anxious this past weekend. I went through the entire Amherst Class of 2013 RD thread comparing myself to the applicants last year. I’m going to go crazy. . . -_-</p>
<p>I just keep trying to compare myself to everyone else and I think that I don’t have good enough stats to get in for some reason. Then I think that I can get in but then, if I’m too optimistic, I won’t get in. And if I’m too pessimistic, I won’t get in either so I try to balance out the two and then I get to thinking, ‘what if I never go to college?’ and then I start to really freak out because I already am in love with college and moving away from my family and so many other things about leaving high school. Plus, as one of the top students in my class, I’m expected to do really well and get into a really good school so if I don’t, then others will feel let down and I will feel bad because I failed them. So yeah, I’m a bit stressed but there’s only 38 days until April 1st (which is the day I count down to because this is the day I will find out most of my decisions). I am, however, extrememly thankful that my spring break is the week of admission decision week so I won’t have to suffer through school or anything!</p>
<p>So how is everyone else in terms of stress?</p>
<p>^ I think you PERFECTLY summed up my feelings. </p>
<p>I was talking to my friend at lunch today and I think I touched on every point you just made. Sometimes I feel super optimistic, others… not so much. I’ve also thought about never going to college and being afraid of failing others. Ugh. I’m losing sanity…</p>
<p>It helps that I’ve already graduated from high school (last November) and therefore, am mostly isolated from friends who might be experiencing similar anxiety. Going through the ED waiting process was nerve wracking because I was still in the midst of other individuals who were extremely curious about my outcome and anxious about their own early decision results. Having to invent new priorities for myself to kill time till college, my anxieties have taken a back seat at the moment.</p>
<p>^ You’re lucky. Care to share any time-killers?</p>
<p>Yeah - I have to say, I’m trying to avoid all of the threads about accepted students/stats, because I’m secretly terrified whenever I see people with better stats get deferred/rejected from schools that I’ve applied to.</p>
<p>I did my applications. Now I want to hear from them. :)</p>
<p>THE wait :-/</p>
<p>Our daughter received an Amherst offer of admission for class of 2014 today (dated February 26, 2010). I guess this is what is called an “early write” admit. Anyone else received one yet?</p>
<p>Congratulations to your daughter!!! That is fantastic.</p>
<p>The wait sucks. Amherst is up there in value with a Nobel Prize for me 
but I probably wouldn’t be able to go even if I did get in so…I don’t know how I’m feeling. Hang in there, guys, and try to take your mind off things…you won’t have to wait long now.</p>
<p>I’ve been rounding late February to March and thinking there’s only one month left for the past two weeks. ■■■. </p>
<p>Congratulations to your daughter!</p>
<p>Congrats to your daughter! I assume you are American?</p>
<p>where is she from? and did she go to divoh?</p>
<p>I guess comparing ourselves to other applicants is not even useful. Acceptances are relative. Just because someone got admitted, with higher scores than you or a higher GPA, doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get denied. If something stands out about you, the college will want you. I dunno. That’s how I’m viewing things. If I get rejected from Amherst, then it’s totally fine. Granted, I’ll cry for a week, be depressed for a month and then have to enroll somewhere other than the 'herst. Haha.</p>
<p>Quasi;
Why aren’t you going to be able to go to Amherst even if you get admitted??!?!?! :O</p>
<p>April will be a most dreaded month indeed…</p>
<p>Congrats to all that received likey letters and good luck to the rest of the RD’ers!</p>
<p>EDIT: A lot of DiVOH’ers usually get accepted from Amherst. So, I wouldn’t worry excessively if you were a DiVOH’er. However, it isn’t always set in stone, but that has been the trend in recent years. :)</p>
