<p>There's no point in making your status something vague like "Accepted!" or "OH MY GOD!!" People are just going to be like, "accepted where???" or "why the hell you flippin out??"</p>

<p>The "I'm-fishing-for-compliments-but-not-really-I'll-just-make-you-guess-why-my-status-is-so-whack-so-that-you'll-have-to-focus-your-attention-on-me-as-you-try-to-figure-out-what-my-status-means" status is much more conceited and annoying, in my opinion, than simply writing, "I JUST GOT INTO HARVARD LOLz0rs lololol >>__<<<." </p>

<p>The first type of status is an attention-seeking riddle intended to elicit interested questions. The second type of status is a genuine excitement explosion for which the author cannot be blamed. </p>

<p>For those who are fortunate enough to get accepted to Harvard, just be honest with yourselves: you got accepted to the most prestigious university in the world and you want everyone to know it.</p>

22

<p>if i got into harvard, i would be cocky as hell & i WOULD be open to compliments, lmao...</p>

23

<p>Off the top of my head, I'd say "is shipping up to Boston [area]," but I rarely use Facebook and will probably forget.</p>

<p>Plus I'm not expecting to get in, by any means.</p>

24

<p>Mustafah - so true! ever so true. but everyone at my school automatically thinks i will get like a full ride from harvard cuz they're so friggin clueless, so they wont give a crap if i get accepted or not.</p>

25

<p>Accepted: OMG! I am one of the Admission's mistakes! Thank You!
Rejected: Boston is way too cold for me...
Waitlist: I am expecting my phone bill to go up by $100. (cuz i am callin the admissions everyday)</p>

<p>Mesquite_girl, you think your schoolmates are clueless? I live in a small town in Canada, so you could imagine how clueless everyone here is. Case in point: when I shared with Facebook how excited and shocked I was to get accepted to Columbia University, one of my schoolmates commented, "With your marks, of course you'd get into UBC [University of British Columbia]. It shouldn't come as THAT big of a surprise." FML.</p>

27

<p>since im 99.99999% reject
reject: slaughtered, massacred and holocaust-ed</p>

28

<p>Hahah mustafah that is really funny.
My sympathies</p>

29

<p>Rejected: "Harvard called. They said to tell you, 'Epic fail.'"</p>

<p>Accepted: Hookem ...has probably ripped a hole in the timespace continuum by getting accepted to effing HARVARD!!!!!!!!! AHHH!!!!!! ahbtfQIHLBWBGlbgtuioVUcutfvLBikbgCHYGVBioNILGBl!!!</p>

30

<p>Accepted: What the Hell? That s'posed to be a bad joke?
Rejected: Screw Harvard, I'm going to Hogwarts.</p>

31

<p>_Silence- haha Hogwarts so funny.
& Mustafah78- on second thought, i agree with your statement above. it is really annoying when ppl don't fill in the blank and just say. "i got into college again" because i wanna know where. So for accepted ill just plain out say it. For rejection. (which im expecting) I still have to figure that out.</p>

32

<p>WZLYLOVER- Ha, I like your "accepted' status.</p>

33

<p>when I got my Caltech decision I didn't say where it was from, just "waitlist, probably not..."</p>

<p>or something like that</p>

34

<p>if accepted " ...........***?..........</p>

<p>if not " i just got into-----------( whatever schools i get into)</p>

35

<p>i actually enjoy seeing people's facebook status as getting into college</p>

<p>even though i go to a pretty small school.. sometimes i dont hear where people got in and facebook is such a good source of information</p>

<p>hm. i dont know what i would write... i cant even imagine getting in so I dont know what i would say</p>

36

<p>yep. I like to hear fbook statuses. Let's me see where so and so is going without feeling like I'm bragging because I got into Cornell.</p>

37

<p>seeing different facebook statuses is fun. People at my school are supportive.</p>

38

<p>accepted: yes
rejected: no
waitlisted: meh</p>

39

<p>i use the smiley face method. :)</p>

40

<p>idk if i would do it...a lot of people do it at my school but its for state schools like</p>

<p>"So and so got into Montclair State!"</p>

<p>or </p>

<p>"So and so got into East Stroudsburg University!!!"</p>

<p>so if i just drop the H-bomb right there people will be like...."whoa slow down buddy, we know you're smart and all but you don't have to shove it in our faces like that"</p>

<p>everyone will know the next day in school anyway....but idk if i can resist the status change..lol</p>
