The Magical ( and somewhat Official) Yale RD Countdown Thread

<p>hm… i really don’t need the countdown which i made at a free webpage now… haha for the past month, my mind just gets fixed to 31st 5pm EST - slowly slowly counting down, even though i know i’ll get rejection letters which i really don’t want <em>sob</em></p>

<p><em>SOB</em> <em>SOB</em>
I don’t think I would want a waitlist, I would rather just get a clear rejection or acceptance, a waitlist would be too much - I can’t afford to be tortured any longer… Anyone with the same feeling?</p>

<p>49 hours and ticking…</p>

<p>^ Yeah, actually. I’m 99% sure I’m going to get rejected, at this point. I really just want to get it over with.</p>

<p>I know what you mean about getting a clear acceptance or rejection… I’ve been telling myself that for weeks. But deep down, I’d obviously be much happier to see a waitlist than to see a rejection. GRR</p>

<p>I’m 94.8% sure I’m going to get rejected, and really loathing this lazy Sunday with nothing to take my mind off. I’m actually looking forward to classes tomorrow. 70-minute free after English ;)</p>

<p>No, I would honestly HATE being waitlisted. That’s them saying, “Sure we like you, but we like everyone else better.” Plus, more waiting! No, waitlisted would be worse than rejected for sure.</p>

<p>I agree, waitlisting would be like total torture! “you’ve been waiting for months… so let’s throw some more time in there, and add an extra dose of false hope just for good measure”</p>

<p>and then you won’t be able to decide on other schools because that hidden hope will lurk until may 1. has passed and you were stupid enough not to enroll at other schools (I don’t think I would be that stupid, btw :)) and all the while you feel bad because you obviously weren’t good enough for them to accept you outright… </p>

<p>is there really anone who would prefer waitlisted to rejected? lol :)</p>

<p>In exactly 48 hours I’ll know my future(Give or take a couple of minutes).
And I don’t like it. I’m really counting on Yale, Harvard, Penn and Swarthmore now, although it’s probably gonna be all rejections. </p>

<p>I made up the perfect plan for the next 48 hours though. I basically have school all day on Monday and Tuesday, and a friend’s having a party for having finally taken her exams on Monday, so I’ll be hung-over onTuesday. And by the time I’ll have my rejections I’ll be so sleep-deprived that I won’t spent the night in my bed crying about it but sleep. I still have enough time to be devastated on Wednesday.</p>

<p>God.</p>

<p>Tuesday is just going to be terrible.</p>

<p>@_silence
That was freaking hilarious… no joke it is a very logically sane statement.</p>

<p>On Tuesday after school 21 (and I know there will be many more) friends are going to come over to my house and we are going to wait for my decisions to be released. There will be pizza, drinks, cake, and movies. My friend will have a projector connected to my laptop and at 10:00 P.M (5 hours after decisions will be out) I will check the decision letters for each of my 6 pending universities.
Cornell
Yale
Harvard
Pton
Notre Dame
Dartmouth</p>

<p>Boy! Am I going to seriously crack up when I get declined!! Hahaha… I can just see it.
As a matter of fact I have named the celebration “Art’s Declining Party”
(Art is my name)</p>

<p>So it can’t get any worst than having 20+ friends that will see
“Sorry to inform you that This University was not able to offer you a place in our class of 2013”
Bwahahaha…
Bestest of Luck to Everyone!</p>

<p>yes, we’ll call it terrible termination tuesday :slight_smile: I love Alliterations :)</p>

<p>Oh my God RunKidRun was that your idea??? My condolences - even were I accepted, I’d want a moment for myself…</p>

<p>@sev1991</p>

<p>No, absolutely not. That was actually my friend’s idea. And he made invitations (who the f*** makes invitations for this nonsense). Hahaha… but eh, what the heck. I am sure I will get a laugh out of it somewhere, oh and not to mention that the Salutatorian and #3 (good competitive friends of mine) will also be there !!! whoop whoop!
Failure here I come!</p>

<p>I’m seriously going to have a blast anyways…</p>

<p>Well, I hope you don’t cry easily :wink: It’ll be great if you get in, and probably a good distraction if you don’t, I suppose. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Guys, we’re going to hit the 100 page mark so easily before Tuesday :p</p>

<p>@runkidrun: Haha that would drive me insane! I’m like holing up in my room with my laptop until I’ve read them all, and then emerging to the outside world to announce my failure. Oh an btw, is your display name based on the band runkidrun? Just wondering, I saw them live at concert about a year ago and started to like them after that.</p>

<p>@hookem168: amen brother… we’ll probably hit it tonight… this is insane… exactly how long can threads get before CC implodes upon itself?</p>

<p>@spunaugle
Hahah… funny that you mention that. I have actually never even heard of the band.
I am a hardcore runner and I just decided to create that nickname…
wow, but now that you bring it up, is it a good band, i wouldn’t mind hearing them… ha…
thanks for the update</p>

<p>@runkidrun: Ohh the band isn’t bad. They’re lead singer’s voice isn’t the best though. It’s not generally my type of music though, it’s rather light and rock/pop fusionish from what I’ve heard. They were an opener for switchfoot when I saw them :).</p>

<p>why can’t the harvard or princeton threads be this entertaining? siiiiiiigh.</p>

<p>@anissa: Because Yale obviously has people that are obviously much more awesome/ have more free time :P</p>

<p>i guess so! seriously though - this thread has killed a lot more of my boredom than any of the others and i didn’t even apply. less than 48 hours, ahhhh!</p>
