<p>How do you think you guys will react if you get accepted to your top choice school?</p>
<p>This is indeed what I do/think about on a Friday evening...</p>
<p>If I get into my top choice school....</p>
<p>I'd launch a bottle rocket with my acceptance letter over our neighborhood.</p>
<p>I'm would scream, jump up and down and hey, just for the hell of it, take my shirt off and run through campus screaming- SEE YA SUCKAS!!!!! I'M OUTTA HERE!!!</p>
<p>Why just your shirt? I'm sure an acceptance to any desired school deserves at least a full moon...</p>
<p>you're right. plus it's tradition at my school to go streaking to the fountain in center campus anyway- no time like the present, and I won't get the chance to do it as a senior anyway...</p>
<p>hell , i'd do just about anything crazy if i got into my top choice. i think i'd start kissing strangers on the street. ahhh, i dont want to think about it cause its not going to happen</p>
<br>
<p>_< I'd get the chills. Cry. Smile for the rest of the semester and up until and throughout orientation about a month later... <em>sigh</em>.</p>
<br>
<p>I'm actually pretty sure this is how I'll react. =D
How about you Trixee15?</p>
<p>Well my first choice was Harvard, but after they eliminated transfer admissions that pretty much killed it for me. But if I get into one of my other top choices I'll be really really happy.</p>
<p>I'd call all my friends and family (including the uncle in Canada that I haven't spoken to in 3 years). I'd also sport my future school logo and colors whenever I could...and introduce myself as <em>First name, Last Name -- College name, class of 2010</em>.</p>
<p>Probably the same way I did last year when I got into my top choice (I am not attending that school, if you're wondering) -- screaming, jumping up and down, crying, and wear a really, really, REALLY spectacular outfit the next day donned with the said college's gear somewhere on me (last year it was a button saying XXX Class of 2011).</p>
<p>And hope that this year it doesn't bite me in the ass :P</p>
<p>I'd strip down naked and run along the beach screaming like an idiot with the biggest grin you could ever possibly see on a human face (well I do live right by the beach), but of course I would have checked first to make sure that it wouldn't cause them to rescind my acceptance.</p>
<p>LOL!!! (hey I'm studying for midterms on a Friday night, cut me some slack!) :p</p>
<p>P.S. Just think in terms of Will Ferrell and it's a lot more hilarious.</p>
<p>There's a good chance I'll be at the karaoke bar on Bourbon Street singing Walk Like an Egyptian with six random girls while replacing every other word with the school that I'm attending.</p>
<p>I've thought about this a lot. This is pretty much how it would go:</p>
<p>First stage: I'd be reading through the letter, and realize I was accepted and be speechless. </p>
<p>Second stage: After the initial shock, I would slowly put the paper down, and let out a loud scream, run downstairs and notify my family that I was admitted.</p>
<p>Third stage: Run like mad down the street. (Not even joking here, I really would do this, whenever I go on solitary walks/jogs, it gives me time to think and reflect upon life, and after receiving an acceptance letter to my #1 school, I'd need to take a LONG walk and just thank God, and think about my future)</p>
<p>Fourth stage: Get in my car and drive to Dicks Sporting Goods store, or some other clothing outlet and buy some clothing apparel that has the name of my number one choice college.</p>
<p>Fifth stage: Get the best sleep ever, knowing that I was accepted into my dream school.</p>
<p>We all know what we will do if we get accepted, but what would i do if i dont get accepted.......</p>
<p>Lets see for both........ CRY!!!!!! and CRY some more, and not because crying is gay, but when you waited all your life for this oppurtunity and it happens or it doesnt you tend to cry</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Go online and purchase lots of clothes from the school (sounds snobbish, but I was never proud of the school I go to now, so I've thought a lot about feeling good about where I'm going)</p></li>
<li><p>Make some calls and write some e-mails to family, friends. etc.</p></li>
<li><p>Book a flight to the campus to explore.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Back to my paper...</p>
<p>Par-tay!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I don't tend to churn butter before I actually milk the cow. All of this is just setting yourself up for catatonic disappointment if you don't in. All my energy is on receiving 'the big envelope' first.</p>
<p>Cow = University
Processing of Milking = Receiving acceptance letter
Churning butter = Acceptance reaction</p>
<p>You don't tend to guess your reaction before receiving the actual letter? Might as well say that you don't hope for certain gifts on Christmas day. </p>
<p>As long as you know that you shouldn't get too hyped and hopeful, then you should be fine.</p>

<p>Not to get into a discussion on metaphors here, but the hoping for certain christmas presents is equal to hoping for admissions, the present being the admission. Predicting how you're going to react is a bit too much for me. Power to you if you can get excited in advance though. I hope your hopes don't crash.</p>
<p>Not to go all "The Secret" on everyone, but it's really true that your thoughts create your reality. Why focus on your chances of not getting in, when you can focus on the chances of being accepted and how good it will feel? </p>
<p>Personally I like to focus my energy on what I want in life and how I can get it. It's not like I sit around all day hoping I get in. I'm doing the footwork too. I created this thread so that other people can share that excitement with me. If we don't get in oh well, if we do...the build up to that moment makes it sooo much better! :D</p>
<p>I dunno, I'll probably have some gin and then sleep</p>
