<p>To alleviate our stress, I'll ask all of you this:</p>
<p>1st reaction if you become a Crimson on the 29th?</p>
<ol>
<li>Stare at the screen for a minute incredulously…</li>
<li>Slap myself…</li>
<li>Cry while shouting and jumping…</li>
<li>Tell my parents (if they haven’t figured it out themselves from 1., 2. and especially 3.)</li>
<li>Text/call my friends…</li>
<li>Go out with my best friends to have fun (it will be 1am here, so plenty to do)…</li>
<li>Come back home some time…</li>
<li>Sleep for an hour…</li>
<li>Buy some candy to give out (that’s what you do here if something nice happens to you)…</li>
<li>Go to school to give out the candy…</li>
<li>Spring Break from 1 to 15 April… </li>
</ol>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Run around like I made a game-winning 3-pointer, neglecting that there are cars in the street. I would have run out of luck.</p>
<p>Smile :). </p>
<p>Then tell my mom/dad/brother <3.</p>
<p>1) Stare in disbelief
2) Tell my parents
3) Call my grandmother
4) Skype my friend at Yale and tell her we are now rivals
5) Post on Facebook!
6) Plan my trip to Vistas!</p>
<p>Sleep. Then wake up and check if I didn’t dream it</p>
<p>Re-read the letter over a dozen times.
Sit there, numb. <my parents="" will="" probably="" come="" in="" at="" this="" point.="">
After the shock subsides, cry tears of joy.
Post on Facebook.
Go out to eat.</my></p>
<p>I don’t know what exactly but probably not post it on Facebook! Haha I would probably start screaming and jumping up and down.</p>
<p>I’ll probably be happy, chill out, and continue to go on with life. lol
That’s how I pretty much reacted for everything, but this IS Harvard, so idk. lol</p>
<p>^ I don’t know how I would react either…</p>
<p>My heart is already pumping thinking about it…I can only imagine how I’ll feel two weeks from now.</p>
<p>It totally depends on what time of day it comes out. Can anyone inform me? :)</p>
<p>5 pm Eastern.
I will have no heart in my body when I see the email in my inbox. But the minutes and even seconds before that, I’ll be chill haha</p>
<p>Seriously OP, don’t make us dream the dreams that won’t come true… Still, if I get accepted, I would smile all day and let people figure out why is that? Coz they say that I rarely smile… so…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>DGAF. They already deferred me. Somehow, I don’t think getting accepted after being deferred is going to sit too well with me.</p>
<p>^that’s how I feel/felt about Yale after they deferred me. I think if they did accept me, though, I’d quickly get over it and fall in love with it again.</p>
<p>Scream, scream, scream. And then, after realizing that it’s reality, I’d cry.</p>
<p>i’d scream, and cry and and jump,. all at the same time. I’d probably run around my neighborhood screaming "screw this. I’m
going to cambridge " and then call and text everyone and finally head out to the mall and tell random strangers, not caring if they judge me.</p>
<p>My S said after he got a call from his admissions person at Harvard he went downstairs and ran into his housemaster, who with typical English reserve, told him “well done you”. He then went straight to class and it wasn’t until the middle of the class that it finally struck him, but he had to sit through the rest of the period before he could enjoy it. He just went back to his room and looked at the confirmatory email for what seemed hours. He then txted us “got into H, will call later”. As most of his mates had already had their Oxbridge acceptances months before, they never truly got how nerve racking March can be…but they did treat him to a curry.</p>
<p>^your son is in a boarding school?</p>
<p>Not to steer the thread away from the topic too much- but although I didn’t get deferred from anywhere, simply because I didn’t apply SCEA- I wouldn’t take it too hard if I was deferred then accepted RD.
In fact I’d rather take offence on being taken off a waitless, but right now, I think I could even live with that!
So don’t take the deferral to heart too much! Something about you caught their eye, which is why they chose to torture you for another 4.5 months! haha XD</p>
<p>As for what I would do if I were accepted, I really really don’t know. I know for a fact its not going to happen (for me) with H! And I’m kinda ok with it already =D</p>
