<p>13 days, 5 hours…
This is going to be brutal.</p>
<p>even if adcoms read these threads they’re not actually going to know who is who, so they don’t really make a different.</p>
<p>Nice to meet you, Weezer.</p>
<p>I like Gyrados too! I remember finding that shiny card on the ground in a parking lot when I was 4 or 5. It was pretty awesome lol.</p>
<p>Welcome! :)</p>
<p>welcome weezer! i love rivers too!</p>
<p>aaaahh i remember going through this same process last year! dont worry guys, in the end, no matter what the decision, you’re all going to have the BEST TIME OF YOUR LIVES in college. hands down. if nothing else, you’ll have college applications behind you 
you have all worked extremely hard, so enjoy december, and i am so excited for you all! good luck everyone!!! <3</p>
<p>Thanks bison!</p>
<p>And right as I was just starting to believe that the 12/11 date for decisions was true, the dream is crushed. But it’s ok, less than two weeks to go!</p>
<p>does anyone else get the feeling that they posted that message on the admissions website because of all of us speculating?</p>
<p>NJDS that’s what i was feeling too :O</p>
<p>honestly…i don’t think they care. they would have probably made that post anyways.</p>
<p>To be honest i’m guessing that announcement is in response to an influx of mails/calls in response to the exact date decisions will be released. I mean we can’t be the only ones who did the math on the Friday thing…</p>
<p>Also i just had panda for lunch and i just read my fortune:</p>
<p>“From past misfortune good luck will come to you…”</p>
<p>Discuss :P</p>
<p>^ I really need to get a fortune cookie some time soon. </p>
<p>Great, I get decisions right in exam week…</p>
<p>On the flipside, I’ll actually be motivated to study the weekend before…</p>
<p>i clicked on last page.</p>
<p>PAGE 196 WHAT IS THIS! HOLY (expletives)</p>
<p>so hopefully i’ll be accepted too and i’ll see some of you guys around campus 
anyone here applied for a physics concentration like me?</p>
<p>just wondering:
i see some people writing
REA (which I assume is regular early action)
i thought stanford only had scea (single choice early action)…?</p>
<p>REA is Restricted Early Action, Stanford’s official name for SCEA.</p>
<p>Thanks for the kind welcoming words, Diglett and Xombie! :)</p>
<p>I kept getting excited when there was talk of a December 11th decisions date. That would only be nine days… but when I think about it, four days won’t make much of a difference. And, I wouldn’t be surprised if the adcoms posted it in response to a lot of speculation about the 11th, but more because of what Nitro Hawk suggested - although I certainly think it’s possible that they peruse this board and wanted to set the record straight. </p>
<p>How are you guys going to open your emails? With music? Have a friend or parent do it? (Sorry if this has already been brought up…)</p>
<p>I plan on opening mine to “Spaceman” by the Killers. It’s a really nice surreal song that’s neither too sad or too happy.</p>
<p>@loopy, im bad at acronyms if it was me…</p>
<p>@bigcrit, where did you get your username from?</p>
<p>@weezer, i would plan a bunch of stuff out but i know the moment i see it i will just click on it…</p>
<p>long story with the user name. Really just carried on through multiple online games 
as you can tell, it has the creativity of a middle schooler stamped right on it.</p>
<p>haha i just didnt want to explicitly say WoW/a bunch of other games that involve “crits” incase it was from elsewhere…</p>
<p>post #3000 is coming up…</p>
<p>DIBS :P</p>
<p>If I applied this fall and was planning on receiving the letter, I would probably play this music: [YouTube</a> - Vangelis Chariots Of Fire Theme 2008](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybr4iBb2K5Y]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybr4iBb2K5Y) and have a friend or relative read it first to say if it was good or bad news.</p>
