<p>Yea, ive always wondered this. Did anyone cry when they got accepted to a college. I screamed and went down unable to control myself and my excitement but did not cry with joy. well..my mom did...and my dad...and my grandma...yea anyways..yea..just wanted to know how everyone reacted. cuz, the ppl on my apartment floor was like, is someone dying?</p>
<p>LOL. I was on the brink of tears, but no crying. :)..</p>
<p>Sorry to disappoint.</p>
<p>Not when I got letters, but when i decided where to go I was just like..constnatly smiling for a week after visiting my college. No crying, just wowoowowowoowow.</p>
<p>I am only applying to two, maybe three colleges, but most of you would not consider them first or second tier: University of Minnesota, St Cloud State, and maybe Mankato State University, although their history program sucks- just in case! </p>
<p>I think my reaction, acceptance or reject, will be a happy moment with that thoughtful feeling that moving on is going to cost me, and that someday, I would like to show my high school teachers a BA or MA degree in History to prove to them that building a school from the ground up was worth their time.</p>
<p>I kinduh became sad to turn away Berkely which i had planned to attend with my friend. I gave it up because my family needed me and my freshman bro needs my assistance and i need to help him have his high school experience good as possible. yea..also, its about the money. but still..UCLA is callin. YAYUH! im smiling again</p>
<p>Yes, my daughter cried when she got her very first acceptance.</p>
<p>This was rolling admissions and we knew we'd hear early but didn't think it would be so fast--this was in November. We got the mail and saw the big envelope with "Congratulations" on the front, so we knew. She was at school doing the sound for her school play that night, so we came to see the performance and brought the envelope with us. We thought it would be a happy surprise, so a few minutes before the play started, we went up to her and told her (we left the envelope in the car). First she said we were lying and then when we assured her we were not playing a joke on her she started to cry. And cry, and sob and cry and sob. We're frantically trying to "console" her. Everyone is staring. Her theater teacher sees her from across the room and not knowing what's going on suspects the worst--something's happened to the equipment and the play isn't going to go on. She rushes over to ask what happened and D throws her arms around her and cries "I got into college!". Oh, what a relief and a blessing to hear for the teacher who hugs her back. Pretty soon everyone has heard and come over and it's like this huge group hug and I can't even see my daughter anymore. The play has to be delayed a few minutes until the pandemonium is over. Even after the play starts I can still hear an occasional sniffle in the back of the room. No I never in a million years expected she would cry this way or I would have waited till the play was over. But I thought she'd kill us if we waited to tell her. She didn't cry for all the rest of her acceptances, but some of them she still did. Not as bad though.</p>
<p>na, but when I get an acceptance letter, ima listen to Bob Marley and blaze</p>
