I’m interested in hearing your stories of what it felt like to get into your dream boarding school!
My DS was admitted to his dream school last cycle. It was a crazy intense day as this school didn’t put up its decisions until 5:00. He had already received one wait list and one expected rejection and was so anxious about this one. I was anxious as well, so we went out for a drive to pass the time until 5:00. We got home right before five and he wanted to check the portal by himself. I couldn’t take the anxiety so I decided to take a shower to relax. He then came running up to tell me the good news. I was so happy. We celebrated and struggled to get the butterflies out of our stomachs. The hard time for me was that night. I woke up in the middle of the night with a panic attack. Was I really going to let my baby move out? We also had to wait for FA information, so we were on pins and needles for a couple more days. When we received the FA decision I was at work. DS ripped open that letter and told me the figures. I couldn’t believe the numbers and made him send me a picure of it.
Overall, it was an amazing day with numerous ups and downs. I will always remember how overwhelmed we both felt as well as the gratitude that they saw something special in him.
Best of luck to all the applicants this year!
If I’m at home, I’d probably scream, throw whatever I’m holding to the floor (uh-oh phone or computer), run around my house like a crazymaniac, and faint.
If I’m at school in a bathroom stall checking my decision, I’d probably drop my phone in the toilet in shock, and faint into the toilet.
If I’m at swim practice, I’d probably go to the locker room to check. I’d probably throw up.
I’m expecting a very dramatic day. 
Gotta love mathman1201! Thanks for making me laugh during a stressful time.
I can tell you about the (silent) screams of joy when I got the financial aid letter 
probably run a couple of laps around my neighborhood lol
I would either implode or scream. And then I would frolic around my neighborhood if the weather was nice.
@Momto4kids: thank you for your wishes. We highly appreciate them.
I will wait until I get back from an Quizbowl tournament trip which is right during the week of March 10th so that I won’t feel so bad about rejection lol! I would go outside and scream, it would be the middle of the night for me when the decisions come out I guess, so I would basically wake the entire apartment. jk, not that extreme
For my DS, letters come between 2 ski competitions. If he does well at the first event and gets invited to the Eastern Championship, we really need him to keep his head on the slopes. Thus, we have decided NOT TO LOOK until after ski season ends. This may mean MARCH 17!!!
UGGGGHHHHHH. It’s killing me…!!!
I am going to be abroad when I receive my results. I’m not going to be able to call my parents or anything! I don’t think I’m going to open them before the 18th (When I come home) I’m absolutely terrified. I’m gonna want my mom!
But my reaction will probably be bursting into tears, to be honest. What can I say? I’m a happy cryer! I partially hope my parents get it on video so I can look back in a couple years and laugh (if all turns out well)
I imagine that I will probably faint, regain consciousness, then faint again for having fainted because I’ve never fainted before! 
I plan on opening my decisions in an open field so I have enough space to either prance around like a unicorn farting rainbows or tunnel to the center of the with my bare hands and stay there. :stuckouttonguewinkingeye: But in all seriousness, I’ll probably start bawling like a child whether I get in or not.
Last year, like @HistoryGeek40, I wanted my mom to videotape me every time… didn’t end well.
I’m not checking anything until I get home from school, so good news or bad news I’ll probably cry.
I will probably immediately call my grandfather then roll around in the snow like a crazy person and cry!
I will probably scream and rip my face off in joy. 
^^^Freddy Kreuger in the making
But I would want my parents to tape me, if only it is to show my grandparents… And then we will go to maybe a restaurant and movie maybe? I’m sorry for boring all of you lol
