A countdown thread to end ALL Countdown Threads!

<p>Accepted: Stare blankly. How did I get into so many good schools?
Rejected: At least that narrows my choices down...
Waitlisted: Ho Hum.</p>

<p>Accepted: scream, jump up and down, call my friend who's a frosh at yale this year, send my band director an email telling him I won't be at the concert on the 19th. get my Yale hoodie ready for wearing the next day
Rejected: have a funeral for my Yale hoodie. and my handsome dan keychain. There might be some crying involved (who'm I kidding? there will be lots of crying involved). pack for Williams preview days.
Waitlisted: I don't think I could handle waiting any longer. I might self destruct</p>

<p>tkm: "Poisoned rats."
This can quite possibly be the best thing I've ever read in my entire life. I actually started to laugh out loud and ended up clutching my stomach in pain. Thanks for it. </p>

<p>AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH. It was that funny. :)</p>

<p>Accepted: Stare disbelievingly at the image of Handsome Dan dancing across my screen. Cry. Get up and hug my mother and tell her that I love her. Spend the next two weeks in Yalie ecstasy. "I'm going to Ya-ale, I'm going to Ya-ale!" Wear goofy smile.</p>

<p>Rejected: Try to avoid crying. Say "Hey, I tried."</p>

<p>Waitlisted: Get angry. Smash computer screen.</p>

<p>Hehe, I have to agree with QuizQuick. I'd probably be in the same state in each case.</p>

<p>:) Good luck.</p>

<p>Accepted: Run around the house naked and screaming from the top of my lungs in disbelief
Wait-List: Go throw some stuff out a window and break some mirrors (because I'll have to wait some more, after being deferred EA)
Rejected: Oh well</p>

<p>accepted: be happy
rejected: be sad</p>

<p>waitlisted: buy some handguns, shotguns, and some AK-47's. then go on a shooting rampage. lol.</p>

<p>but seriously, i'd just be sad.</p>

<p>Don't stress if you're wait-listed. Yale usually takes less than 10 people from the waitlist. It's like winning the lottery (the 300 million dollar one). :)</p>

<p>im going to be way too drunk come 5:00 to have much of a reaction</p>

<p>accepted-check the page a hundred times, run around like crazy, scream, call my parents and friends back in Austria (and wake them up in the middle of the night), put a big smile on my face that won't go away for....a very long time.....scream again....go skydiving....or surfing...</p>

<p>waitlisted-check Cornell</p>

<p>rejected-go to Smith, UCl, University of Edinburgh or Cornell(if I get in there) and apply to Yale again either as a transfer or for graduate....</p>

<p>accepted - cry, freak out, stuff my face with ice cream/chocolates, not study for euro test/math quiz/english quiz/shakespeare recitation the next day. wait a minute. if i'm the type of student that Yale accepts, then i must still study for those! Haha ok, so freak out, then study.</p>

<p>rejected - cry, freak out, stuff my face with ice cream. kind of a different mood though. Then study because i need to keep senior grades up if i ever want to transfer</p>

<p>wait listed - study feverishly because i'd really need good senior year grades.</p>

<p>Kinda sucks cuz either way i'm studying a lot. haha wait... except for one option i'll be a Yalie...</p>

<p>good luck everyone!</p>

<p>accepted: have a huge grin on my face. cry maybe. it will be so awk tho becaise im going for a scholarship interveiw at tufts that day for an overnight. haha i will be like ' um excuse me host...may i check my ' e-mail' 'and secretly log onto yale. haha if i got in id be liek f- this and be so estatic. i was defered EA so it will be more meaningful i beleive.</p>

<p>rejected: stare at the screen blankly. my heart will sink and i will get cold chills and goosebumps. it will probably take me a while to realize that the door to yale just closed on my for life ( i mean who transfers...and who transfers to yale...i cant go through this admissions process again. its WY tooo stressful)</p>

<p>waitlisted: id see how to improve my chances. then x-out and check my other decisions.</p>

<p>accepted: "WTH?!?!?! I want the drugs the adcoms were on."
rejection: I don't think I'd really care; I kinda applied to Yale to enter the lottery anyway. My stats are NOTHING compared to other people here anyway..I basically tried to bring up my music for Yale so i could do piano performance..until finding out after i submitted the app that Yale doesn't give undergrad performance majors!!
waitlisted: "wth? i want the drugs the adcoms were on."</p>

<p>i have to check all four of my top choices at 5:00 on thursday, which means I will be at work-I work in a very small architecture office, and everyone is already waiting to hear what happens with me. My boss bought me four books already, which are either "congratulations!" presents or, "sorry you suck a nut" presents.</p>

<p>@gavroche: cool:D I already made a loooooooong list of things I don't like about Wesleyan;)</p>

<p>bump 10 char decision day is soon</p>

<p>@harvardlite, I love how you revived a thread that is almost four years old. LOL.</p>

<p>BTW…only 24 days until Doomsday!</p>

<p>lol for a second I thought you wrote “24 hours until Doomsday”…</p>

<p>To me, there’s only one thing to do. Wear a Yale sweatshirt to school the next day and let the recognition begin.</p>
