<p>On another note - has anyone seen this Academic Index Calculator thing? Supposedly, it’s a predictor of your academic competitiveness to the Ivies. I know it’s not necessarily the most accurate thing ever, but it’s interesting nonetheless. <a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/AcademicIndexCalc.aspx[/url]”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/AcademicIndexCalc.aspx</a></p>
<p>ahh i was dying!! okay thanks for calling though. so i’m guessing we’ll get an email tomorrow for sure.</p>
<p>ok… thanks for the update… i can finally start doing my work now :)</p>
<p>I would think we’d get an email tomorrow. People in the past said it was two days before notification day and notification day is often a Thursday.</p>
<p>I hope we hear tomorrow. Wednesday is my birthday and I’ll spend the entire day being stressed out if I haven’t received an email yet, weird as that sounds.</p>
<p>Happy almost birthday! :]</p>
<p>@roseknows</p>
<p>happy ur 17th birthday then :)</p>
<p>So is there a chance we’ll get our decisions next week? I was really looking forward to hearing about it this Thursday or Friday…my weekend will be me freaking out over if i got in or not so I’d like to know in advance whether I will freak out… get my logic?</p>
<p>@ mrmanager and cjk1663</p>
<p>Thank you. 
It’s crazy to think that I’m turning 17 already! I still feel so… young.</p>
<p>What’s surreal is that i may be finding out what COLLEGE i’m going to…I used to think college was only for adults who were really tall. I remember thinking I’d NEVER be this old . 18? that used to seem so far away.</p>
<p>I want to know this week so badly. I have a feeling that it will be either thursday or friday. I’m thinking friday just because the extra day will kill us all and that’s what they want…that was morbid.</p>
<p>and happy birthday! you can now legally register to vote and see R-rated movies (the two big “privileges” of turning 17)</p>
<p>wait… you can register to vote? i thought that was 18? </p>
<p>and i know exactly what you mean! COLLEGE! like woah…</p>
<p>Yeah… voting’s 18. I wish it was 17.</p>
<p>i’m surprised that no one here is applying to Johns Hopkins. it’s my third choice. why is it unpopular?</p>
<p>I’m applying to JHU. It was going to be my ED choice, but after weighing the options I decided that applying Columbia ED was a better idea.</p>
<p>Hopkins has too much workload and not enough of a curve to be a good undergrad school IMO</p>
<p>“good” in what sense, though?</p>
<p>@ the “17 year old priviledges convo”</p>
<p>That’s what I thought, until my government teacher told me in the beginning of the year to register to vote. I told her I couldnt, I was only 17. She told me I can still register, and that I should so that when I turn 18 I am a fully eligible voter. And now I am! On my birthday, the government sent me a card telling me I was now a registered voter blahblahblah.</p>
<p>So go register, girl! or go see some r-rated film. the perks of being 17 are endles…</p>
<p>Second choices are Barnard/UPenn… I wish we found out today though, I haven’t done my homework yet!! Also, do you know if it is online?? Or will we be receiving a (hopefully large) envelope in the mail?</p>
<p>fghtffyrdmns: good as in it will lead towards a top grad school haha</p>
