@layla2016 Wait…March 31st. I’m running on three hours of sleep; I don’t know what is going on anymore. Then again, it would be in my best interest to not go because I have 8 shows within the next two weeks…and I have a student that needs to learn and perfect her solo. With that thought process, I’ll still be here 
@schroscat whatever happens with your trip, I hope you can access your decision ASAP and that your shows go well! Are you in a play or do you play a musical instrument?
@layla2016 I am in the pit, playing the flute and piccolo! We’re running the Music Man at a local theatre, and it is running for the next month. The employed life is quite wonderful! (And thank you! I’m sure we’ll figure it out within the next few days )
Turkey? Where in Turkey? @schroscat
@Grapess Fatsa, Ordu!
@schroscat I just googled it–looks awesssooome. You can be relaxing on the beach while opening letters.
@Grapess Considering I would need wifi, I could open my rejections on my aunt’s balcony, overlooking the Black Sea, sipping my pity tea.
@schroscat That still beats weeping in a cold, gloomy day surrounded by broken nacho chips & guacamole.
JK. I’ll probably be watching movies & staying the hell away from Gmail. At times, living in denial is better than living in reality. :))
@Grapess I mean, I’m not 100% going during spring break. So, I, too, may be stuck on my couch, staring into the deep abyss that is my Gmail.
@schroscat Gmail is seriously dangerous. It’s ridiculous how high the sight of this ‘(1)’ can make me jump. But it always turns out to be some stupid spam from Ebay or something.
@Grapess RIGHT!?! I’m desperately hoping for the diversity LL from cornell, and I jumped when I got a notification. Freakin’ PetSmart letting me know about a sale. LEAVE ME ALONE.
Hey guys! I have been following this thread since there were just 50 pages ahah! I wish the best to you all!! I’ll be in the same situation this December and I am already nervous!! I think I understand all of you! And @Grapess nacho chips and guacamole sounds great to me
@TheWaffleMan149 Considering I just woke up from a nap, it looks like my stance is unwavering.
Anyone accepted to UNC Chapel Hill?
@shivaya Couldn’t help but notice you asked this in a few other Ivy threads, lol. Did you apply? Would you consider it over the Ivies?
@thesaria Was noticing the same thing lol!
@thetsaria - my answer will be yes and no. It depends on the IVY.
I am specifically looking for Mathematics and particularly in Stats/Finance area. If none work out and I do decide to go to UNC, looking for friends who I can meet there.
Wanted to ask before results starts coming and CC gets completely overwhelmed with results and people lose their minds with joy and/or sorrow 
.
@shivaya Cool, cool. Does UNC not have their own forum? When do results come out?
Best of luck, man.
@yalebound2020 Here the breakdown. She was obsessed with Harvard and Boston as a whole from the time she was 9. She is a US revolutionary history nut. She wanted to be in Boston or somewhere warm. She looked into Stanford but heard that they ride bikes everywhere and she has an irrational fear of lots of people on bikes. She also felt the campus would be too large. She then went and officially toured Harvard but it didn’t feel like it was a campus. It was all little sections in a city. She was not thrilled with the freshman not being included in the upperclassman activities. She was also turned off by the freshman dining hall situation. It was beautiful but she would not be able to interact with the older kids and she felt it was excluding the freshman from the full college experience. You are only there for 4 years and 1/4 of it would be segregated. Georgetown was a comfortable match for her (and a little warmer) so I arranged a tour with her grandparents that live in MD and she absolutely loved it (of course she did, its right there at US History central) . It was actually her favorite in the end after Yale. She refers to it as the one that got away. We forced her to apply to Yale. She wanted out of CT but when we toured it, she fell in love. She loved the combination of architecture styles, the campus feel and the residential college system. She loved the feeling of community and belonging to a “house” freshman year. Being that she had been a cheerleader since she was 6, school spirit was important to her. She loved that on Yale’s campus EVERYONE wears Yale gear. That was not the case at any of the other schools she toured. Even something as small as Yale students feeling that rivalry more than Harvard students was a clear indicator to her that Yale had more school spirit. These may seem like trivial things but when comparing Yale to Harvard and even Georgetown, they are all academically amazing- its the little things that make you feel like you belong there. Someone once told her that the difference between Harvard and Yale was at Harvard “You are in it for yourself” and at Yale “You are all in it together”. The more she read from attending students, the more she felt that was accurate. Academically she was happy with all 3 for what she wants to do. She is pre-med and loved how Yale encourages you to explore as an undergrad even if you know you want to do a pre-med track. The biggest difference in the end was Harvard was amazing but not as much of a fit as Yale. Georgetown was a premed school and less flexible. On Ivy day her final hope was Yale and when she was accepted, she committed right away.
@Memmsmom - Thanks so very much for taking the time for the write up. Very informative. I got the same feeling at Harvard. The campus is the East Coast version of Disneyland. There are more tourist on campus than actual students and I just don’t see how that is conducive to studying. At night, I saw people (not students) throwing bottles at each in Harvard square (by the subway entrance and in front of Starbucks) very freely as if it was a big city at midnight. No police to be found. And, unfortunately, that’s my path to go to practice across the Charles River. If that’s what I want? I can go downtown LA and assure myself a good beating. No need to travel to Cambridge 
That’s my take.
