<p>@woopycushion – Your Common App essay sounds very interesting. good luck tomorrow.</p>

884

<p>@Woopycushion Is Asian considered URM? I have always been told that being Asian is a disadvantage as there is a large amount applying for colleges.</p>

885

<p>Asian is considered “ORM.”</p>

886

<p>It really depends on what type of Asian. My counselor says admissions will consider Southeast Asians as URM. So im guessing that Indian, Chinese etc are ORM.</p>

887

<p>sigggggh. i know i’m setting myself up for disaster by reading bwog and the spectrum. i can’t help it though gaaahhowefojnwefqwef</p>

888

<p>Last night before decisions - good luck guys!</p>

<p>Gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight.</p>

889

<p>I have no clue how I’m going to endure 4 classes on the morning and the afternoon.</p>

890

<p>12 hrs from now we will know our fate…here goes my sanity :(</p>

891

<p>Interviews aren’t exactly a reliable factor, since not everyone gets it, therefore is not that consistent.</p>

892

<p>aLL the best guys!!</p>

893

<p>i think that if i get rejected, i’ll just spend the whole day moping, eating ice-cream and watching tv. i need at least a day to recover haha</p>

894

<p>Is anyone else okay with being deferred? Obviously the preference is to be accepted, but would anyone else not be disappointed with a deferral or am I alone there</p>

895

<p>A FEW MORE HOURS!! Btw, what happens if they don’t receive the test scores in time for evaluation? Not that they didn’t, but just asking. :)</p>

896

<p>If they don’t get test scores, that person is rejected</p>

897

<p>Game over, amigo</p>

898

<p>@Fifafest im with you i would be honored if i got deffered. Good luck to everyone!</p>

899

<p>8 hours to go! I planned everything I’m going to do today if I get admission… not sure if I don’t get admission though. Either the end of my dark tunnel or the start of darker tunnel</p>
