<p>Ever since I found out I still will be considered for EA (I was in the possibly-going-to-be-deferred-due-to-lack-of-scores limbo for a few weeks there), I have been getting really anxious. I can’t wait for next Friday. I just hope the decision is definite- rejection or acceptance. deferral will be annoying.</p>
<p>NOTHING is unfortunate when there is a dancing bulldog on your screen!</p>
<p>AGREED.
If I ever see a dancing bulldog, it’ll probably be the most vivid image I’ll ever see.
Ever.</p>
<p>it’ll probably be burned into my head for a week.</p>
<p>out of curiousity, how many of you are furiously applying for scholarships like I am? I find that process way more intense than the actual college app process. oy.</p>
<p>I’m only doing scholarships offered by colleges right now. Perhaps I’ll apply for others next semester. I’m already guaranteed $1K off if I go to Rutgers or Princeton, though. I guess that’s something…</p>
<p>And if I get the dancing bulldog, I’ll probably either alt+print screen or whip my cell out and take a pic, haha.</p>
<p>hahaha, great state of new jersey’s bloustein award, surprised corzine hasn’t cut it yet</p>
<p>I figure if I apply for 20 or more, I’ll probably have to win at least a couple. I don’t know if that’s very good logic, but that’s what i’m working on here. lol. Actually, I’m really running off the knowledge that $40,000/year is an absurd amount of money that I won’t be able to pay unless I get some serious help (and i almost certainly won’t qualify for financial aid).</p>
<p>um, if i see a dancing bulldog, i will be soooooooooooooooooooooo happy, and will immediately post it on facebook and IM my friends. i dont want my parents to go crazy about it, but they will overreact no matter what the decision is, so in any case i will keep it from them for a few hours, until I have gotten over the news, whatever it is</p>
<p>hey at least some of you guys have area trends so you can kinda half guess about a decision. I’m without direction or precedent here in MS! ha, I need commiseration.</p>
<p>Haha sportsman, if you’re talking about Corzine and his budget cuts you must have went to Gov School…which one did you go to?</p>
<p>what website are u guys using to find scholorships? fastweb? other?</p>
<p>Yeah, Fastweb. Also, my school gives us a packet of scholarships in a couple months I think.</p>
<p>I’m definitely balancing scholarship apps with my remaining college ones. Fastweb’s a great site; like theoneo, I also got a packet from my school/GC. So far I’ve applied to three or four scholarships, mostly big ones ($10K-$20K), though of course I’ll apply to as many as possible, of all costs, in the hopes of gaining a few. :)</p>
<p>Ahhh I’ve only applied for one scholarship so far, I feel so lazy. I’m going to get my act together soon, I promise. I’m taking a year off, though, so I have more time to search and apply for scholarships.</p>
<p>Today in physics my friend who applied to Harvard early held up nine fingers. I grimaced, and my friend sitting next to me (who applied to Princeton early) asked why, and I said “nine days” and he shuddered.</p>
<p>bluetissues – Don’t worry too much about scholarships yet. The best thing to do is to get all your college apps completed. Many deadlines aren’t till mid/late January, anyway. But again, Fastweb is an excellent site that offers you hundred of scholarships; you can arrange them by deadline (three due on Dec 15, so at least I’ll have something to occupy my time for the next eight days ^_^), etc.</p>
<p>Haha, I have a friend in A block (first period) who uses me as her EA/ED “clock,” so when every morning she asks, “How many more days?” I automatically remind the both of us, and then we share a shudder :p</p>
<p>Some time ago this thread was about ivy league stereotypes…which ivy league school do pretty boys from california go to</p>
<p>Eight days. Eight days. When we applied, it was 45. Eight days.</p>
<p>I can’t believe that the first thirty days absolutely FLEW and the last 15 are taking… FOREVERRRRR!!!</p>
<p>Wow, it’s intense to see how Columbia’s decisions are proceeding…that’s going to be us in 8 days! Soo surreal</p>
