<p>heh heh post #1215 is right around the corner</p>
<p>hah post 1215 will be a great one
so along with being an excessive procrastinator in all of my schoolwork, college applications are no different. i had intended to get them all done by the 15th…but OF COURSE not
does anyone feel just a bit of a glimmer of hope that’s enough motivation for you not to do your apps?</p>
<p>siriusaboutyale, I think we’re the same person. My schoolwork has been building up this past week too, and I can only imagine it getting worse this week (although last week was because of a scholarship applciation I got that had a really short deadline, this week will obviously be because of Yale). I still have two applications to do too, or at least three essays between them before I can send all the stuff in. I’m not going to do one if I get into Yale, but last night it hit me that decisions are coming up very, very soon and ever since I’ve had this feeling in my stomach like I’ve already been rejected. I’m still wishful though. Maybe I’ll be wrong.</p>
<p>Oh my god, I’ve been utterly sapped of all will to do work… I spent most of today in my pajamas idling about, avoiding my Stanford application and the boatloads of homework I have due tomorrow! Can you believe it guys, though? In four days and 23 hours, we’ll know about Yale.</p>
<p>I find it VERY difficult to believe.
I think about it constantly (how can I not when my homepage is a countdown?) and that’s really ALL I think about. I want it to be over with so that I can start getting back to work, but I just can’t. No motivation. No desire to do anything but sleep until Friday.
((And I had a sudden regret last night almost, about financial aid. I just keep praying and hoping and wishing that they really are need blind.</p>
<p>wow, i’m really glad for this forum, because i feel the SAME WAY as all of you guys, but since none of my friends applied early anywhere, I have no one to commiserate with. i can’t bring myself to work on anything. it’s ridiculous…</p>
<p>wow, under 5 days!!!</p>
<p>OK OMG, I was just reading the MIT Class of 2011 Early Decision Thread and I swear to god I saw about 5 Asian applicants with a perfect 2400 on their SAT I’s, 4X800 on their SAT II’s(Math II, Physics, Chem, Bio), and 4.0 UW GPA’s(with like 10 AP classes before senior year and 5’s on all the tests to boot) get deferred. And Yale is like statistically harder to get into than MIT early…</p>
<p>I think whatever hope I had left for Yale just went down the drain.:(</p>
<p>MonsieurSatran, </p>
<p>you described in full detail my ENTIRE day. lol
(and I watched the Pats lose pitifully…)</p>
<p>But, EAD, you have to consider that:
- A larger proportion of MIT’s applicants are “super-Asians”, so they may not look very impressive to adcoms.
- MIT’s acceptance rate in EA is almost identical to its RD rate.
and… - Those kids could have had terrible essays (you don’t have to be a good writer or creative thinker to get perfect SAT’s).</p>
<p>So it’s not so bad… although most of us will still be deferred.</p>
<p>this is so frustrating!!! i can’t study right now. and huge calc test tomorrow. haha (to what people were saying before)–i’m calling yale scea my “what the hell” decision when i tell people where i’m applying. and please don’t mention any more super-asian stories. they make me nervous. and no i can’t just avoid this site because it makes me nervous, and what else do i need right now? (like not sleep, or studying, or having a life or anything.)</p>
<p>I think we have to pray that Yale will see the best, shining brightness in all of us, despite any of our “SAT deficiencies” or whatnot. Because really, the greater portion of us are deserving enough of a Yale education.
We’ll see what happens in like…less than five days.</p>
<p>can someone PLEASE turn the clock to Friday 5 PM? </p>
<p>NOW?</p>
<p>Yeah…But these past few days have gone by so fast, that I’m not so annoyed anymore at the prospect of a few more days. A week of school goes by quicker than a weekend or a week of holidays…our two-week Thanksgiving holiday was hell!</p>
<p>Looeypie, I actually did some research into Medically Induced Comas, in the hopes that they might be able to put me into a mini-coma for a few days, and wake me up sometime around 4 on Friday. Unfortunately, though, scientists don’t have quite enough of a grasp over the process to nail it within that much precision. Plus, there’s some evidence that induced coma leads to permanent brain damage.</p>
<p>Oh well.</p>
<p>damn it…what about hibernation</p>
<p>I’m just glad the weekend’s over. Weekdays go by so much faster for me.</p>
<p>I’m in the same procrastinating unable to do **** place as you guys…</p>
<p>…and I’ve effectively given up on my Stanford application, on the grounds that pictures should speak for their freaking selves. Jeez. I seriously just decided not to do it…and I feel soooo much better right now…such a release. </p>
<p>But it’s okay…at least we’ll know soon!</p>
<p>Hey, I’d already written an essay about a photo of myself with my sisters. I did a victory lap around my house when I read the stanford essay!!!</p>
<p>Is anyone else up for a late-night (perhaps all-night) AIM chatroom on the 14th?</p>
<p><em>Begins Stanford essays now. Or… soon.</em></p>
