<p>Personally, I don't feel like it lol. I don't usually brag that much, and I am happy about all the college acceptances that are coming in (ucla recently =D).</p>
<p>What about you guys?</p>
<p>It’s attention whore-ish.</p>
<p>I feel like that whenever I get an acceptance. Today I received an acceptance from a pretty top school but decided not to post it on facebook (U Rochester!!); a few of my friends feel stupid when they find out i’ve been accepted somewhere good so I prefer not to let their self-esteem down and hence tell none of my friends.</p>
<p>i dont think that it’s bragging; i would say that a more apt label would be excited. But at the same time, you know that there are some of your friends who havent gotten into any colleges yet or maybe got rejected from a college, so it may seem like you’re bragging in their eyes.</p>
<p>Gotta agree with kwu…at least, in a lot of instances I’ve seen. </p>
<p>I think it’s OK to post if you got into your top school or have decided where you’re going…that’s a big deal. But posting a scholarship/acceptance play-by-play is just too much, as well as rather insensitive.</p>
<p>Yes, for the most part I guess. Besides, all the people who care will figure it out anyways.</p>
<p>I agree with rose39! It’s fine if you post that you got into / are going to attend your dream school, but every little I GOT INTO A VAGUE SAFETY SCHOOL YEAHH!! 
gets annoying and seems arrogant.</p>
<p>Everyone ends up finding out anyway. Our 9th grader in quiz team, whom we sometimes call Kumar (but not just b/c he’s Indian) always asks me where I’m going/what acceptances I already have. As does the bf of one of the QT girls who always comes to practices. And if Ivy League questions come up, we always end up talking about college. Like, last time, we had a question about where some famous someone had worked. We went with Harvard. It ended up being Yale. Jeopardy girl started talking about how they lost half of her application –> we got off topic for 10 minutes.</p>
<p>But FB status is a bit much for me. I always make my statuses cryptic celebrations. Like, when I got into MIT it was “[My Name] : : MIT!” and I did one about Dartmouth too. Maybe “[My Name] : : Dmouth LL!” But another guy at my school got an LL, and saw me on the Dmouth website list, so people know anyway. I did a non cryptic one for my first acceptance. It was like “[My Name] is unconditionally accepted to the University of Manchester!” Oh, and I did the tosses and turns of my Cambridge app. When I got interview, I said “[My Name] is going to England!” When I got Pooled, I did “[My name] : : Pooled T_T” (or some other sad emoticon) and when I got fished, I wrote “[My Name] : : Fished!” But I always join college’s 2014 groups when I get in, so I don’t even need to be cryptic. No announcements for my other 3 UK Unis, Georgetown, Swarthmore or UChicago. I considered putting up something about Swat, since a lot of my FB friends are DiscoSwatties (ie: we met and spent a weekend together there) and because Early Writes are special, but I had the Dmouth status up like a week before, and thought I shouldn’t flood people’s feed with myself.</p>
<p>I don’t think other people are bragging when they do it though. I like to know.</p>
<p>No. I like seeing where people are going and I give them a congrats.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’m going to update my status saying where I got accepted though.</p>
<p>No it’s not bragging. It is being social and letting your peers know. If you don’t care for a person, you probably shouldn’t have added them in the first place. Though, if you applied to 30 school, saying 30 acceptances can get annoying. If you just applied to 5-6 and said those in separate statuses, that’s fine.</p>
<p>…was this a way for you to brag. LOL, the irony!</p>
<p>i like to know where people are going! i don’t think there is anything wrong with making an acceptance a status. that way people know and don’t have to awkwardly ask the next day, etc. obviously you shouldn’t be like, “OMGZZZZZZ HARVARD YALE PRINCETON WHICH SHUD I PICK?!?!” but i think it’s permissible to make it your status when you’ve accepted a school’s offer and/or are accepted to a dream school.</p>
<p>Lulz. My FB just did explode with DSers getting earlies. Yay!</p>
<p>wait, i may be a noob, but what are DSers?</p>
<p>^It’s not a noob thing, no worries :). DSers=DiscoSwatties=people who went to Discover Swarthmore. Basically, we all got to go to Swarthmore for free in October, and have lots of fun. We all friended each other on FB when we came home. Now, we get to hear about the awesome places where everyone is going to college and learn more than we could in one short weekend about the awesome people they are.</p>
<p>oh, i see. :)</p>
<p>Yeah honestly, I’m not going to do it, unless I get into another really good college :)</p>
<p>But, if my friends got in (those who didnt), they would have bragged about it…and since they didn’t, they are getting ****ed lol. I don’t see how that is justified…</p>
<p>and lol at the “HARVARD PRINCETON YALE” thing hahahah</p>
<p>Not really. I was happy when my friends got into their dream colleges. </p>
<p>Would it be annoying if you did every single one? Probably. But who cares? Lol if you’re happy then those who like you will be happy for you :). </p>
<p>I enjoy seeing my underclassmen getting into great colleges. And whenever I see them get accepted to my college, I make sure to give them a special nudge to come here 
lol</p>
<p>if they are some of my favorite colleges, then no. but i’m not going to post up my safety schools either.</p>
<p>i’d like my friends to post where they were accepted, i’d be sincerely happy for them (and hopefully, they would to me).</p>
<p>If someone was rejected by said school I can see why they’d be upset about it…</p>
