Spivey also said the October takers were gonna have a bad curve so it seems like he can be full of shit.

I hope he is. I mean I already have some t14 love, but tougher cycle would affect me at CCN, which I am pretty interested in :/

Yea upon further review looking at data excluding last year I should do alright at CCN. NYU looks good, Chicago good chance of waitlist but may get in, CLS is way better than a coin flip for sure.

Don't get me wrong, I would hate it if I didn't get accepted to any schools other than the ones I'm in at already, but I'm also confident that the schools I've been accepted to have a great shot at handing me the future I want.
So, zen.

I am actually feeling pretty similar. I got into the school I was considering EDing to a year or so ago, and have had my eyes on it for awhile. If I had to go there, I think I'd be ok.

Same, just got a lot more nervous about the cycle. Being a splitter doesn't help.

This is still a really applicant-friendly time to be applying. Just because it might not be *as* much so as last year doesn't change that. There had to be a bottoming out at some point.

Samesies. I think I should still be good at CLS and NYU which are the only two other schools would I wanna go to, but even if not I'm super happy with UVA! A tougher cycle probably obliterates my chance at Harvard, but they were so low anyways that it doesn't really matter.
