<p>I got in! </p>
<p>Totally unexpected. I'm not number 1, 2, or 3 in my class, I live in Westchester, NY (totally overrepresented), I'm Asian, my SAT scores aren't perfect... I haven't cured cancer, either... But I got in!!!!</p>
<p>Let's all celebrate here!</p>
<p>What did you do when you found out?</p>
<p>I was kind of lilke, "Hmm, cool," and called my dad and my best friend. None of it had really sunk in. It still hasn't.</p>
<p>Well, I was logged onto MSN Messenger so that when the email arrived, the little notice would pop up saying "You have received an email message from Harvard Admissions"....</p>
<p>But at 5:01 pm, I decided to venture away from the computer and had just discovered that my cat had barfed all over our carpet right when my brother announced, "YOUR EMAIL POPPED UP! Want me to open it?"</p>
<p>When I opened the email and read, "We are delighted to......", my immediate thought was, "Oh, how are they going to twist 'we are delighted' around into my rejection/deferral?"...but after about 5 minutes of staring at the computer screen, it sunk in enough for me to realize I wasn't hallucinating, and that I had actually been accepted! Ahhhh!</p>
<p>Congrats everyone! :D</p>
<p>I was totally setting myself up for a regection/deferral the past few weeks. I was at school when i got the email. It took forever to load! </p>
<p>when i read the "I am delighted to inform you that the Committee on Admissions has admitted you to the Class of 2011 under the Early Action program." i couldn't believe it. I started crying because I've wanted this so bad for so long, and i couldn't believe that it was actually happening....and then i ran outside and called my parents...and i told every other person at my school that i knew. I was crying for about 30 minutes and everyone was like "what's wrong" and then i told them that i was actually really really really happy and relieved and that's why i was crying. haha. I know i'm weird.</p>
<p>Congradulations everyone!!!</p>
<p>I had to wait until like 8:30 because my email was so late. I was freaking out bcuz I knew that I needed to start my application at some point. When I found out, I read it like 8 times, told my family, and then went to get some food for dinner...</p>
<p>oh, and updated my facebook!</p>
<p>Lingbo, where in Westchester do you live? (Sorry if I've asked you this before and forgotten, btw.)</p>
<p>I've pmed you</p>
<p>I HOPE I CAN FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS.</p>
<p>-delusional freshman in NJ</p>
<p>Congratulations :)</p>
<p>I haven't found out, but you are an inspiration for another (semi) Asian with less-than-perfect SAT scores who hasn't done anything particularly remarkable. </p>
<p>Makes me so anxious.</p>
