RD 2013 Anxiety Thread

<p>Congrats neethus! One of my speech/debate buddies is gonna go there :D</p>

<p>I’ve definitely been stalking for some time now. Whenever I feel about to IMPLODE into many tiny pieces from thinking about Barnard, I go to this thread. </p>

<p>I applied to Columbia ED and spent time on their thread as well. And I have to say that this thread is so much more pleasant of a community, even if it’s just an online one.</p>

<p>Everyone here is so warm and I feel that you all just want the best for each other. I really really hope that all of you are where you want to be this time next year, because I really believe that you are all wonderful people who deserve to be happy. And I hate when bad things happen to good people.</p>

<p>Congrats, neethus!!! One of my best friends got a full ride to GW and another is choosing between that and BC. </p>

<p>And fishgills - awwwes. I agree, though. The Barnard board is easily the nicest, friendliest place I’ve been on CC. The girls here really sent an amazing example for themselves.</p>

<p>I wrote a comfort note for myself to read incase I got rejected. haha… I stored the note in my make-up box. :slight_smile: yayy</p>

<p>I’m in my APES class right now, doing a project and flipping out. When are they mailing? </p>

<p>I had a nightmare last night in which I was waitlisted, but they told me “We never go to our waitlist, so take this as a rejection.” So I flew to NYC to try to convince them that they had room for me. So they revoked my waitlist and gave me a rejection. Then, my parents made me go to community college because they didn’t feel like paying for one of the other schools that took me. I woke up at like…3 AM crying because it scared me so badly.</p>

<p>Thank you all so much!!! :D</p>

<p>And aw, firefly, that’s cute. How did he ask you… and are you going just as friends or more? :P</p>

<p>I was just in APES, too, mp153!
I just ran home during lunch to get the mail. Got my big envelope from Mount Holyoke (I already knew I had been accepted online) and got another envelope from Bates. I was waitlisted at Bates, which actually surprised me because I had early on convinced myself I would get rejected. Bates, in all honesty, was last on my list so I’m not bummed at all. I’m actually kind of optimistic that I was waitlisted and not rejected. It gives me hope for my more competitive schools like Wellesley and Barnard where I showed way more interest!</p>

<p>hmm long runon sentences. weird. sorry. I hear back from Bryn Mawr at 4pm online today. we’ll see what happens!</p>

<p>cantochickk, what an amazing thing to do! You rock! That’s really sweet :)</p>

<p>mp, I’ve had similar dreams. They are NOT fun!</p>

<p>englishivy, congrats on MH and Bates! I’m waiting from Bryn Mawr today too. So nervous.</p>

<p>hmm…I know nothing about bryn mawr. is it good? sigh Barnard…</p>

<p>As an art major in hs, I’ve been doodling BARNARD all over my sketchbook. I’ve made some funky designs. haha :)</p>

<p>YAY APES. And congrats on your acceptance and waitlist, englishivy.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ON BRYN MAWR! I’m crossing my fingers for you all.</p>

<p>I’m in yearbook right now because today is early release. I get to go home in less than and hour YAY (for the record, my school usually ends at 4:30, so it is, in fact, an early release for us). I just hope I have SOMETHING in my mailbox. Ugh.</p>

<p>Hi ladies! Totally new here! I’ve been lurking on these boards for a while and finally decided to start up an account. I’m on vacation and all I do is wait for the mail everyday which has gotten so frustrating! I’m SO nervous for Barnard! I called today and they send that they’re sending out decisions ON April 1. But who knows if that’s true? I mean, every school says that but I’ve already gotten three decisions so maybe our letters will come earlier?</p>

<p>All this waiting is killing me!</p>

<p>Ugh, nothing today. I did get my acceptance package from Clark U. though, I got accepted online about 2 months ago, and got a big scholarship. I had to chastise myself when I pulled it out of the mailbox because it was so big that I thought it was maybe another school and I was disappointed to see it was Clark. I had to change my attitude because I could very well end up going there. I wasn’t expecting that today though!</p>

<p>Accepted to BC today :D</p>

<p>Yay!!!</p>

<p>Yay for newbies! Welcome, cranberrykiss and thanks for calling so we know that info. Hopefully, we’ll hear earlier than that.</p>

<p>Congrats all on your acceptances. And if you got less-than-savory results, chin up. It’ll all work out :)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I got rejected from Scripps today. I called, so I heard my rejection over the phone.</p>

<p>■■■.</p>

<p>Aww, I’m sorry etched! Scripps has awful financial aid anyway. If that’s any help. My sister was accepted there but they wouldn’t give her ANYTHING. The whole Claremont Cluster is pretty picky. </p>

<p>I just got accepted to bryn mawr!!</p>

<p>I was seriously anticipating some mail in my mailbox today!! I was super anxious because I had to stay after to do my Group 4 for bio, and that in itself is ridiculous nerve wrecking. Ahhhh, I wanna know NOW. I can’t stand this waiting any longer :/</p>

<p>congrats to everyone getting accepted into colleges!</p>

<p>etched - Like you’ve said so many times before, it’s their loss. From what I can tell (read?), you’re an amazing person and the right college will recognize that, hopefully Barnard!</p>

<p>Congrats inasummertown :D</p>

<p>inasummertown, yeah, that helps. Thanks :slight_smile: Congrats on Bryn Mawr!</p>

<p>brandnewstate, thanks. As much as I try to remember my words and internalize them, being rejected just hurts like hell :/</p>

<p>So I am new to this board as well. Honestly haven’t read too much of it (I’m lazy, though you all seem very nice). </p>

<p>Etched - I just got rejected from Scripps too. Their loss. Maybe Barnard will feel differently?</p>

<p>I also just got into Bryn Mawr. :)</p>

<p>Congrats to you too, KaylaIs!!!</p>
