<p>“I don’t really understand why some people would rather be rejected than deferred. Can someone enlighten me?”</p>
<p>I’m not so sure either. I would assume it’s because if you are deferred it only adds to the anxiousness of waiting for a reply and detracts from your focus towards other colleges. I’m no expert or anything though but it’s just a thought. (meaning I don’t want any sardonic comments about the invalidity of my post; people here tend to do that)</p>
<p>for me the deferral works in this way:</p>
<p>you go crazy about/ fall in love/ adore/ simply love a girl/guy that much that you practically write a poem about all of your feelings and recite it under their window surrounded by candles and with chocolate/beer in your hands… after that all you want is to know the answer: yes or no?! so you can either cry or laugh… but what if they just tell you: ok, wait a while, I’ll call you if I don’t find anyone better… !!!</p>
<p>if that happens, how can you not feel like ****?!?!</p>
<p>that was a beautiful and telling metaphor.</p>
<p>ketwit, true artists like you can engrave their thoughts into the minds of any audience. great analogy</p>
<p>thanks 
the girl with the beer ;)</p>
<p>Will any update info be considered at this point? I heard they are sending us emails about when they are releasing the results on Monday.</p>
<p>Dzilyabch: Really? Where/who did you hear that from?</p>
<p>x.wondergirl, someone posted earlier on this thread that someone in admissions told them that.</p>
<p>Lol yup that was me, I called the admissions office and someone told me that</p>
<p>@ketwit
Yes that’s the reason exactly as I would’ve said it lol</p>
<p>Oh, I see… thanks!</p>
<p>I’ve been doing nothing lately except for refreshing my mail every 2 seconds…</p>
<p>me too…even though i know that the mail is coming on monday.</p>
<p>and even though i should be studying for finals!!!</p>
<p>@wg90210</p>
<p>Go study!! Think of it like this - if you get in and bomb your finals, they might rescind your application. Now THAT would suck big time :P</p>
<p>are any of you legacy?</p>
<p>not me.
Are you?</p>
<p>sarah, I’m a legacy.</p>
<p>6 days left…a prayer a day makes the anxiety go away. =D hopefully…</p>
<p>6 days left…? results are coming out on thursday?</p>
<p>6 days would make friday if anything. And no it’s not official, people just see somebody float a rumor that it’s on the 11th and believe in it to no end. Like right now, I could say that somebody from Dartmouth heard somebody from Columbia think that the admissions were supposed to be out on DECEMBER 6TH, and everybody would latch on and go crazy.</p>
<p>how many of you will cry if you get rejected???</p>
<p>i know i’ll be really really depressed… the first depression of my life lol</p>
