<p>Congrats guys! What was the first thing that everyone did when they saw the Congratulations? I started jumping and screaming!</p>
<p>I cried for about 15 minutes. Then I screamed more. Then I cried again. I am so happy. No words.</p>
<p>If I wasn’t sick in bed I probably would have danced. Instead I spilled my soup over my bed, but it was worth it. :’)</p>
<p>I was driving in my car and saw the acceptance! Needless to say I was extremely happy!</p>
<p>sounds dangerous haha</p>
<p>Hey, you!</p>

<p>Do you guys have any tips for the interviews? What to wear? What kind of questions were you asked? Etc…</p>
<p>It was pouring outside. I checked at 4:57, saw the first line “Duke University is now YOUR university…” and ran straight out the door screaming at the top of my lungs and started dancing in a puddle. I know, I should have been more excited lol</p>
<p>And to StanfordCS: Go in respectable dress (khaki’s, oxford shirt) and don’t go in with a stick up your butt. Ask the questions you want answers to, that aren’t admission tips, and try to get a sense of why this person went to Duke and if that translates to why you want to attend. They will sniff out someone trying to get ‘the right questions and the right answers’ like sharks to a shipwreck</p>
<p>I’ve been crying for the past 3 hours because I just got rejected… I have no idea how I’m going to take my finals and write my 10 essay supplements. Now I think my commonapp is utter bullcrap. How can I change it?</p>
<p>I was like completely numb while I was waiting for the page to load then I couldn’t focus on the letter so it took me a few tries to read the first sentence. Then I saw I was in and went downstairs and told my mom i had bad news…she would have to pay a lot of air fair whenever I visited home :)))). Then I went and hung out with my friends. My face hurts because I’ve been smiling so much…</p>
<p>I read the first line of the letter. Then I read it again. And again. When it finally sunk in that I got accepted, I think my heart literally stopped. I started freaking out and jumping up and down and screaming. I haven’t stopped smiling. I am just so incredibly happy right now! <3</p>
<p>I was in denial for 3 hours and i couldn’t bring myself to check it. so, at 6:00 PST, I checked with my mom and sister. I wait for the damn thing to load, and when it finally doesn’t, i have no idea where i’m supposed to look on the page. I started reading a part that was in the middle of a paragraph, thinking, “what the heck what is this letter saying?” this continued for about 5 seconds until my sister actually found the correct starting point of the letter (yes i was that frazzled) and said, “Duke is now your university!” I proceeded to scream at the top of my lungs for a good minute or two, then sink to the floor and cackle. My mom started dancing, and my little sister was happy for a bit and then started complaining about her AP chemistry final tomorrow.</p>
<p>yeah well anyways. DUKE '16!!!</p>
<p>i fainted…then cried…then screamed!</p>
<p>I didn’t know until 5:15pm today that decisions would be released at 6pm - on finding out, I began to panic. I managed to contact the people I needed to (family, etc) and then noticed that the page had loaded with my letter! I couldn’t bring myself to look at it. So I got my mom on the phone and my best friend on Skype, and pulled up the letter, and read the first sentence. And there was much rejoicing hahaha! After that, I blasted my “acceptance” music at obnoxious volume, opened all the doors to my house and propped them open so that I could run laps around and through it without interference, then rolled on the floor and screamed. Proceeded to dance around the house (meaning actually AROUND THE OUTSIDE) for a while, and am finally starting to cool down enough to type this :-D</p>
<p>Did anyone leave the webpage open before 6PM? I did and left my room and when I came back in, the decision magically appeared on my screen and I couldn’t believe it. I don’t think I’ve ever yelled that loud in my life… they probably heard me down in Durham. I still can’t believe it. Cant wait to meet all of you guys!</p>
<p>I was at school with a couple of guys. I just opened up the page at 4:55 (5:55 eastern time) and I had no idea the decision would be released. I stared at it, it was silent. I reread the first line and just started hugging people</p>
<p>I was sitting in my car, as it stormed outside, when I looked it up on my phone. I couldn’t even comprehend the first sentence. It was so surreal.</p>
<p>I’M SO EXCITED.</p>
<p>I actually received my decision at about 5:49 EST…I was so shocked…</p>
<p>I won’t deny it guys, I’m bitter that you guys are posting in this thread and I’m not (well now I am). I’m gonna do everything I can to be joining you guys at Blue Devil days next year.</p>
