<p>@sweetcookie. yeah i don’t want to waste all that money if i do in fact get in</p>
<p>I sent ones that had deadlines prior to Penn’s notification date, but am saving the rest until the ninth, in which case I’m prepared to click “submit” on four more.</p>
<p>@Empaige21 - yeah, I’ve already written supplemental essays for most of mine. I’m prepared to spend my Christmas break writing the rest, if things don’t turn out for the best though. =(</p>
<p>oops my bad. hardworking. There have been such limited info on LSM on CC. I would love to get accepted to LSM, but my stats are pretty weak for LSM (and for Penn to be honest). So I am hoping they just send my app to CAS and look at my interest to attend Penn there. But now after browsing CC, I don’t know what to expect. Good luck, hardworking.</p>
<p>Do you guys have any plans to cope with bad news (just in general, not only for decisions)?</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh and how do you guys plan on writing your other essays/filling out your RD applications if its bad news? My GC tells me I should finish most of my RD stuff before ED decision so my attitude/mood won’t affect my RD essays.</p>
<p>I don’t mean to be a debbie downer, but just want to be prepared for everything.</p>
<p>My school required apps to be in by the end of november to “prevent procrastination”. Also, I have been acting under the assumption that I will be rejected so that I won’t have anything to worry about (except for my post-rejection depression) if I don’t get in</p>
<p>To cope: Watch all of the Saw movies friday night…</p>
<p>@free2rhyme: whatever happens, I’m going to cry. tears of joy or sorrow? it’s hard to tell. With bad news, I’ll probably hide in my room to cry and then take a nap 'cuz apparently sleeping is a common coping mechanism for children (hehe i’m still a child). I might even eat a whole tub of ice cream afterwards if I get hungry.</p>
<p>Oh and just a thought: do you guys want to make a thread after Dec. 9 for deferred/rejected applicants so we can all grieve, provide emotional support, and give advice/help each other for our RD apps?</p>
<p>For bad news I already have my weekend planned out! Either way, my best friend is coming over after school with me on the 9th and then I’m going on a date on Saturday to keep me occupied. And Saturday night I have a cheesy holiday movie party at my friend’s home and then Sunday the actual depression will probably set in. In that case, I’ll probably go to Panera Bread, drink a non-fat chai, bake pumpkin muffins, watch movies, and read a nice book.</p>
<p>That’s generally my coping method: eat my favorite food, watch my favorite movies, and cuddle up with a nice novel.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve done all of my supplements except for finishing my Tufts third supplemental essay, which I’m actually really looking forward to writing.</p>
<p>free2rhyme- Yes! That’s an amazing idea :)</p>
<p>P.S. If I go to bed right now, I will get eight hours of slumber.</p>
<p>@EmPaige21 - And if you get accepted, will your plans change drastically?
@free2rhyme: That sounds…like the venting thread lol…I mean we’ll probably end up venting our emotions and forget to reply to one another</p>
<p>Sweetcookie- Since Penn is just over an hour away, my Mama said we’re driving there the next day to get apparel/ car memorabilia, etc. if I get in. But that seems unlikely at this moment in time.</p>
<p>@john2penn: Same here! Our school requires us to finish all the application a month before the deadline! While Im waiting for my decision (a rejection for sure), i have 10+ more applications to finish before our school’s deadline. Senior year is so tough…</p>
<p>These unofficial school deadlines are kind of insane…my school doesn’t like it very much when we apply to more than five colleges =/
EmPaige21 - positive thoughts dear, positive thoughts, and remember: penn DOES superscore =)</p>
<p>ED to CAS!!!
Can not wait until december 9!!!
on a scale, my desire to go to penn is infinity and beyond!</p>
<p>@free2rhyme: Not a problem. I’m not sure what LSM is looking for. I have a 760 on Chem and have done outside research before. I tried to write as passionate of an essay as possible, but I am no Siemens or Intel winner (never touched those competitions, and it’s too late now, haha.). Good luck to you as well!! </p>
<p>@All: Do you mean actually submit your applications? That seems so “Big Brother” like. Our school just requires transcript paperwork (since we aren’t electronic for transcripts yet, just teacher recs.) 1-1.5 months in advance (those dates are predetermined). You can press submit on the Common App to any school, any time, on your own timeline. But I guess I would like the push from the school to finish my RD stuff…I’ve worked on a few supplements, but am so anxious for Dec 9.</p>
<p>Yeah, can someone please explain the schools requiring you to turn in your apps? That’s scary to me.</p>
<p>aw @EmPaige21 don’t be so hard on yourself!
from what i’ve seen in this thread, you seem like a very smart and genuine person (:
i really have this gut feeling that you will be accepted</p>
<p>@everyone
quite honestly, i can’t imagine anyone from this thread NOT getting in
you guys all seem like enthusiastic and intellectual people</p>
<p>for me, if i get rejected
i guess its time to take down my laptop wallpaper of the Quad
i’ve had it on there for months and it’s just so beautiful to look at!</p>
<p>Why is everyone so nice?! Why aren’t you my real friends?</p>
<p>My school doesn’t send transcripts unless it has proof that the student already submitted the application, so we have to submit apps really early since it takes a while to process transcript requests</p>
<p>@EmPaige21 maybe everyone here will be real friends in a year!</p>
<p>I can’t keep up with you guys. </3</p>
