Official Yale 2015 RD Countdown Thread

<p>^Same here. I was extremely excited as I submitted my applications back in December, but now I’m more apathetic towards it all. Thankfully I get out of school early tomorrow so I’m just going to be staring at my laptop screen for the next few hours. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I’m not expecting to get in at all, but I’m still going to be heartbroken when I see Yale’s rejection. At least for awhile.</p>

<p>Good luck to all the RD peeps from the SCEAers :D.</p>

<p>Hope to see you all on Bulldog Chat in t-minus 18ish hours.</p>

<p>I don’t even know why I am nervous.
The anxiety didn’t set in till like…today, lol.</p>

<p>All of a sudden, I’m freaking out, because I don’t want to get my hopes up but I can’t stop thinking about tomorrow. And since I’m not getting my hopes up, all I can think about is how disappointing a rejection would feel. Distracting and depressing all at once.</p>

<p>^I completely know the feeling. It’s like it’s my last day of dreaming and wondering, but at the same time I don’t want to dream about it and get my hopes up because I want to be prepared for the disappointment.</p>

<p>I’ve figured out my plan for opening the decisions tomorrow. I’m going to put on some really epic movie music, maybe Pirates of the Caribbean, or if I want something happier maybe the Overture from the Marriage of Figaro, then I will read my four decisions under that. When i get the four rejections, I’m going to listen to “My Heart Will Go On” from titanic.</p>

<p>and then I will watch Source Code.</p>

<p>My plan for tomorrow:
Class from 10am-12:50pm
Lunch from 12:55pm~1:25pm
Surf the Internet from 1:35pm~2:30pm
Work on yearbook from 2:30pm~3:00pm
Watch an episode of Dexter from 3:00pm-3:50pm
Watch Breaking Bad until 5pm.</p>

<p>/cool starry bra</p>

<p>My plans:</p>

<ul>
<li>Class from 8:00am-11:00am</li>
<li>Lunch from 11:00am-11:30am (must buy prom tickets)</li>
<li>Root canal from 12:00pm-2:30pm</li>
<li>Get tux for prom and gas on way home</li>
<li>Get mail - should have my UVA acceptance package and a couple college shirts waiting for me</li>
<li>Sit anxiously for decisions, probably chatting with friends and doing homework</li>
</ul>

<p>^^ You guys only have class in the morning? are you in high school?</p>

<p>^ seriously! I love the root canal part though</p>

<p>My plans?</p>

<p>4:30am: Wake up* and grunt my way to the shower. (5 people, one bathroom; someone has to be the insomniac)
7:30 - 4:00pm: School
4:00 - 7:00pm: Homework, and yearbook work (oh hai, nne718!)
7:01pm: T-minus zero with whole family around computer</p>

<p>*This is if I even sleep.</p>

<p>I’m leaving school early to get the second part of my root canal done because that was the only available time slot. Normally school goes till 3:05pm here.</p>

<p>It’ll come out at 2 PM where I am, so I’ll still be in class. That last half hour will be HELL.</p>

<p>Good luck to the applicants. Hopefully us grads have been helpful throughout your college search. Although there will be inevitable disappointment for some tomorrow evening, I’m confident that this will be long forgotten once you matriculate and fall in love with the college of your choice that was lucky enough to choose you.</p>

<p>I just want this to be over with. Then I can focus on making my decision</p>

<p>^ True that.</p>

<p>amen to ending this nasty business…a waitlist would be HORRIBLE because I would literally have a breakdown during that extra period of uncertainty</p>

<p>Good luck all. Remember a rejection isn’t a reflection of you…you are still a great applicant, its a sign of the times. So many apps to top schools has made admission that much more difficult.</p>

<p>anyone else contact their local marine corp recruiter for a backup option? Me neither. SO NERVOUS!</p>
