November 2nd will come. A new day will start. And it all be okay. Know that everything you have done over the past four years, every late night, every last detail and edit, every group study session led you to here. You made it. Your experiences, your successes, your falls, all translated into learning.
You will hit send. You will finish your applications. You will get through this, just like you have gotten through everything else every day of your life.
If you decide that you are not ready, that November first came too quick, then guess what? You wait. You wait and you apply regular decision because that is what feels right, and is right for you. This is a very individualized process and you must always come back to the idea that you come first. Hit send when it works for you. It truly does not matter what anyone else is doing. What matters is what you are doing.
A couple of tips:
-The servers for the Common App are busiest later in the night. So if you are sending, try earlier in the evening.
-If you think of a question, email it to us; this way it won't be gone in the morning.
-Know that colleges have a lag time for processing all of the information. Be patient. Everything is there.
-Take a moment and celebrate what you have finished so far. You deserve it!
