<p>So, since this seems to be the most reliable information we have so far, let’s make this the countdown page.</p>
<p>So…8 DAYS TO GO!!!</p>
<p>HOPEFULLY YES, 8 days</p>
<p>I’m ALMOST jealous that my Columbia buddies are getting decisions on the 8th. Almost because I know my decision letter will almost definitely say “deferred”.</p>
<p>Yes, I can’t decide whether it’s better to get it over with soon, or prolong the delusion as long as possible.</p>
<p>even if it’s 14th i will be getting it on monday 19th 
(or even later…)
i cant even call them up since they said we can call from 19th but it will still be 18th in the usa while it’s 19th in nz how horrible…</p>
<p>The had better come sooner rather than later, as my birthday is the 18th. Imagine getting rejected on your birthday…</p>
<p><em>shudders</em> gee that’s gotta be nasty…hope you get in! </p>
<p>btw, has anyone on CC already finished highschool (except for those taking a gap year)? yea internationals. i have. i have just 2 more final exams left which finish this sat then im off. off to…endlessly waiting for the snail-mail to reach the bottom corner of nz…if i dont get in, my loooong holiday (till late feb) will not be quite as pleasing (with 8 or so apps to fill in…)</p>
<p>so what are you guys (internationals who have finished hs) planning to do for half a year if you get in? im gonna go travel A LOT, learn languages, teach myself some high level physics and math etcetc and the best of all, SLEEP!</p>
<p>I think no matter where I end up- I’ll spend at least 1 semester at uniMelb just to get my mind back into the studying mindset. 1 Semester doesn’t disqualify from applying at a freshman anywhere so thats probably what I’m going to do.</p>
<p>Bah- Columbia gets their decisions tommorrow? That ain’t cricket mate. Not cool. Assuming they mail on the 14th, using USPS cal I estimate that chances are that Internationals would actually get it after the weekend which would be evil. Do they use express or priority? anyone know?</p>
<p>Here is the official countdown clock for Princeton ED letter (assume we receive the letters by 15th noon):</p>

<p>Thank you, Princeton 2B. Hopefully, the answer to your question shall be a resounding YES!</p>
<p>Is it worth to do anticipate so much for the decision letters?</p>
<p>I mean the truth is that more of us will be disappointed than delighted, so why not just forget about it until the decisions come? I mean, a rejection/deferral along with all the time spent agonizing over the wait is even worse than just forgetting about it and wait for a surprise
Just my 2 cents</p>
<p>The question is do you have enough self control just to wait and NOT speculate or hope?</p>
<p>You have a point Agrophobic. In a way I think CC has made my anticipation worse, but ohhh, I’m hooked.
Seriously, if I could forget I would, but how?</p>
<p>Use some conscious altering drugs such as psilocybin or mesculin and hallucinate stuff, although i dont recommend doing it on a roof, since you might hallucinate that you can fly.</p>
<p>Yeah Agrophobic has a good point, the majority of people will not be accepted. Although I agree with Pyramid that you cant just decide to forget about it. Unless you can, in which case more power to you.</p>
<p>welwelwel - I’m doing a year at a state university in lieu of 12th grade, but I don’t know that that’s what you mean…Technically, I “graduated” to get in, but other colleges I am applying to just see me as a senior…</p>
<p>Some days I forgot…Other days I spend agravating myself with speculation…</p>
