monkey face, I second that emotion. got right to the end before i relaxed my face and let myself stop thinking oh shit oh shit oh shit - how does he know this! I am like the dim one in any standard US Sitcom. The irrationality of this is even more pertinent if you dont reside in the US and the States is say, 5 hours behind you. So when you wake up and immediately start checking your staus and emails at 08:00 even though you know there is no way in God's name anything can have changed as it is only 03:00 in the US only a deep-seated insanity can explain such actions. Its not healthy in the slightest especially considering I am more than positive its going to end in heartbreak. arrrrrr

I'm very sorry to hear that. Do you mind me asking what your stats were? Sorry if you're not in the mood

Can I first just say - God bless this website. I know some may think its unhelpful for all the people who are anxious and nervous to the point of it being a health hazard to all congregate and talk to one another in one place but I am finding it very helpful to have some where to go when the pressure of waiting gets too much - so thanks everybody. Now, on to the matter of Cornell. Tina Slater, who bless her heart, has sent us several emails detailing the every ebb and flow of our application files (I at one point had to warn her of the perils of starting an email with 'Congratulations!' only to go on to read that my application is now complete for review -- I nearly had a heart attack). Anyway, she said accepted applicants would be notified by email in the 2nd week of March and others would recieve a letter in the post at the end of March. And yet, the results page shows a handful of people getting acceptance emails yesterday and today. Anyone know whats going on?

A whole heap of GOOD LUCK to everyone!!!

I cant believe this. are they just reviewing it now? I asked this same question on the results page and someone came back with the reply "ENO = Entry Not Offered" period. I wish people wouldn't post things there are not sure about and make it sound as if they're completely sure. Its not fair considering how nervous everyone is

I got my first rejection a couple of days ago -- not the best valentines day present i've ever got. It didn't really set in till today when I realised that if Yale has rejected me so swiftly (didn't they only just finish processing the applications for review two weeks ago?) then I am pretty sure that all my other choices - Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, NYU - are also going to reject me as their standards are pretty much the same. I am now just so deflated i dont know what to with myself cant even bring myself to cry. Its ridiculous -- its not like someone's died or anything but I cant remeber the last time I was so down on myself. Really sucks is a huge understatement.
