<p>I know I personally am going to be in my closet in pitch darkness curled into a fetal-esque position while I wait, but what about you? Anyone gonna open it with someone in the room? Who will you call first (I haven't even answered this question yet, gah) -- with good news OR bad? I know we are all going crazy... how much have you thought about that moment?</p>
<p>in my room alone, probably with the door closed (but im actually not sure)
i'd tell my parents first, then call my boyfriend, then call 2 of my good friends who are applying to ivies, then freak out regardless of the result</p>
<p>Sitting at home, in front of the fireplace, clicking refresh obsessively even though in gmail, that's pointless.</p>

<li>Momma</li>
<li>Boyfriend</li>
<li>Best friend</li>
<li>Counselor</li>
<li>Mass-texting</li>
<li>My father</li>
</ol>
<p>In my room while surfing the web wait for the little yahoo new email message to pop up. I would as fast as possible click it to see the email. I wouldn't even think twice I'd just want to get it over with. I wouldn't be able to tell anyone at first because I'd be a crying, screaming, raving, wild, naked lunatic running around. Then I'd tell my parents.</p>
<p>i'll probably be in the middle of a debate round at a tournament. unfortunately.</p>
<p>if i get in i'll probably just power my way through the tourney and win it. if i don't get in =fail</p>
<p>i want to open it by myself in my room, but i can already picture my mom looking over my shoulder just because i've talked about it so much...
i'd tell my parents first, call my good friend, text a couple of people, change my facebook status to express my joy...</p>
<p>Because of the time difference, I'll be in the middle of my government class, on my friend's laptop because my teacher in that class lets us "take notes" on our laptops if we bring 'em.</p>
<p>And then, I'll have AP French. If I don't get in, I'm ditching French and going to buy some chocolate, walk home listening to music, and then sleep.</p>
<p>whooaaa i could NEVER check in class that would be so stressful, and i think i'm going to burst into tears either way so that wouldn't work for me. but i'm going to check in my room with my little brother holding my hand since he'll be the only one home to give me moral support :)</p>
<p>I'm checking it by myself in my room and I'm nto telling anyone of the decision until they ask.</p>
<p>You have far more self control than I do.
I'll be in Religion Class, and so I'll probably start screaming if I get in, and I'll ignore it if I don't.
1. Parents
2. Best friend
3. Two other friends
4. Tennis Coach
5. Teachers/Counselor</p>
<p>that'll take like 10 minutes</p>
<p>I'm with alejis on this one...</p>
<p>When I get the email, I'm going to tell my parents. Then, I'm going back into my room to view the decision alone. Whether I am accepted, deferred, or rejected, I'm going to take time to think over how to present the response to my parents. Then my closest friends will get a text message.</p>
<p>If I get accepted, I think I might cry. And that's saying a lot.</p>
<p>If that in class method works out, I'll be sitting next to my best friend and 15 minutes away from the bell ringing for me to call my family and other best friends.</p>
<p>Are you from the West Coast? That's the only way you'd be in class while opening it right?</p>
<p>are you guys assuming we're getting notified on friday the 12th or monday the 15th?</p>
<p>I think a lot of people are predicting Friday the 12th. At least, I hope so. I don't think I can hold it much LONGER. </p>
<p>As for me, I would prefer to be alone when I open the email, but I use the computer in my dad's work space, so he'll probably be around. If I get in, I'll probably start crying. If I get rejected, I'll probably start crying. I'll tell my parents, my sister and brother, and then call my best friend.</p>
<p>i really don't know how you guys would open it in class!
i check my e-mail in almost all of my classes, but i think that even if i saw it there i would not have the balls to open it just for the fear of getting rejected and having to face everyone right there without having had a chance to cry a lot first.
i'm really hoping the decisions are not on a monday.. having to wait through the entire weekend would be insane..
last year they got the e-mail letting them know of the official date on the 5th...!</p>
<p>yeah i'm definitely not telling too many people even if i do get in. there's no reason to parade it around if i do, especially since i know some people in my school won't get into their early school and i would hate to make them feel bad...i can only imagine how awful i'm gonna feel if i don't get in when i look at the kids who DO get in.</p>
<p>I'm going to be in my attic (where we keep the computer) completely alone.</p>
<p>How are you all allowed to have your computers in class? Sounds like fun. I am a) not allowed and b) don't have a laptop. Sigh...</p>
<p>Someone from a previous year suggested playing music when you open the email. I think it sounds like a pretty good idea. I would probably play the Beatles or Joe Strummer's cover of "Redemption Songs".</p>
<p>Wouldn't that ruin a song for you though if you didn't get in?</p>
