<p>Do you have any weird plans or ideas to celebrate an acceptance or get over a rejection?</p>
<p>One of my best friends is applying ED to American, and if he's accepted (really good chance IMO) we're going to decorate his car for him. I'm sure he'll be thrilled .. haha ;)</p>
<p>if both me and my friend are accepted we're going to get together and celebrate and eat ice cream and listen to arctic monkeys and voxtrot. if we're both rejected we're going to get together and be depressed and eat ice cream and listen to bright eyes. if one of us is accepted and the other rejected it might be a little messier, but we'll probably get together anyway with some other friends and celebrate for the one who was accepted while the other tries to get over the rejection. that's our plan.</p>
<p>i just have been expecting to get rejected...so....the getting over the rejection wont be too bad...</p>
<p>I'll grant myself a sigh of relief.</p>
<p>Without thinking about it, I planned a holiday party at my house on Dec 15 that my friends and i have every year, the day Stanford decisions come out. so if i get in, my party is all set! if i get rejected, i guess it will cheer me up lol, or i'll just embarass myself in front of 70 people...</p>
<p>My dad's an alum of my ED school, and he has a school co-op cookbook from 1974 with a recipe for "The Oberlin Cake". The explanation in the cookbook is, "A friend was accepted at Oberlin and we made this cake to celebrate."</p>
<p>So if I get in, I'm making Oberlin cake :) Weird, yes, but the recipe does look really good...</p>
<p>When I get into UNC i'm going to wear UNC t-shirts for a week, regardless of temperature.</p>
<p>HAhaha. I like this thread. </p>
<p>If I get in... I think I'll just wear all of my Northwestern gear to school and run down the halls screaming that I got in. I will then proceed to celebrate with my friend who might get into Stanford. Yes! =]
If I don't get in... I think I'll just be depressed for the entire weekend and continue studying for finals xD</p>
<p>My friend wanting OSU said she'll bring in Buckeyes (chocolate and peanut butter? YUM!) in for lunch for a whole week .. heh</p>

<p>that is soo cute! good luck!</p>
<p>My best friend and I both applied early (to different schools). When we both find out, we're going to dinner at Benihana, our favorite restaurant. If we get in, it's a celebration. If we don't, we figure it's hard to be too sad at Benihana!</p>
<p>Wow, I hadn't even thought of this yet. I think I'll treat myself to a pair of shoes, to be honest, and my parents will probably take our family out to a nice dinner. I really like the Oberlin Cake one, though, and I agree with lauralice- that's really cute!</p>
<p>I applied ED to Vassar, and when I visited I wanted SO badly to buy a hoodie to profess my love for the school.</p>
<p>I didn't, though, because I kept thinking I'd jinx my chances somehow doing that, or I'd get rejected then be stuck with a constant reminder of a school I didn't get in to. So, if I DO get in...I'm getting on that website and ordering myself a sweatshirt!</p>
<p>Oh, yeah! If I get into MIT, I want the E/c^2 etc. t-shirt that spells out MIT in formulas. My mom knows this, and she knows to order it if I get in early as my Christmas present.</p>
<p>If I get in: Buy shirt, sweatshirt, cap, and portable coffee mug to flaunt my school pride. Cry. Bounce off walls, celebrate with family, call friends.</p>
<p>If I get rejected: Be depressed. Maybe cry. Go to my backup school's website to look for anything cool to cheer myself up.</p>
<p>I don't find out EA until mid-late January and I'll already have put down a housing deposit on my 3rd choice's residence hall so I'll have my bases covered, but nothing would make me happier than to have to call the backup and ask for the refund (they give you all but $25 back if you withdraw so it's definitely worth it to save yourself a room on campus early).</p>
<p>More than 2/3 of kids will not be accepted ED/EA. Many kids at my daughter's school were sensitive not to wear those school shirts in public until after April.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you.</p>
<p>I agree with oldfort's suggestion, but I think it will be tough for some of us (myself included!) not to get the sacred hoodie (I refrained from buying one too, mairoula517!) if we are accepted...</p>
<p>It's crazy -- almost ALL my friends are applying ED (or EA to their top choices)! Two Middleburys (me and my friend), a Swarthmore, a Columbia, two Yales, a Georgia Tech, a Georgetown, an Oberlin . . . So I'm thinking, once the verdicts are in for all of us, I'll make a lot of chocolate cupcakes with brightly-hued frosting and bring them around to my friends' places.</p>
<p>We have a "pity party" planned for that night, and all of the people who were accepted have to do nice things for the rejected people (I'm getting excited for the brownies I think I'll be getting...)</p>
<p>I'm in the buying sweater crowd. I bought a sweater from each school I visited intending to apply except for the one that could possibly reject me. If I get in, its straight off to campus, both for a visit knowing I've been accepted and to buy a sweater!</p>
<p>Oldfort, that assumes quite a few things. We haven't had an EA rejections yet, and quite a number of acceptances. There's no way 2/3 of the people I know will get rejected EA/ ED, unless they get rejected from one place and still accepted EA at another.</p>
