<p>I cried once.... after getting deferred by Stanford EA, as an Asian-American male I would have never expected to get into MIT... or to even have a dream. I drove home from school early feeling sick and realizing that I was going to have home to a small envelope. As i pulled up to my driveway, I saw my front yard door swinging; someone had gone into my yard. The next thing I know, I see a huge package marked MIT on it and I ran out of my car and shed a couple tears. The MIT acceptance package was the most emotional since it was my first acceptance package after getting deferred by Stanford. Oddly enough, two weeks later, I would find only one rejection letter: Stanford.</p>
<p>Probably will cry more in the coming months...
Have cried quite a few times this past junior year though.. concerning SAT scores, worries about future career/college, realization of how little chance I have at getting into my dream school due to GPA/rank/SATs, rejections from summer programs, and complications of another summer thing.. all part of the admissions process. It's been a stressful year. I'm almost looking forward to actually applying. >_<</p>

<p>Amen. It'll be nice when it's over with.</p>
<p>The process is very stressful especially waiting to hear for a decision. There were a lot of tears shed in my house because of the unknowing.</p>
<p>My daughter found out about her acceptance to her first choice through a likely letter.</p>
<p>She picked up the mail when she went to walk the dog. She came back in the house crying. I did not see the dog, so I thought something happened to the dog. I asked her what was the matter, she said I got in. I said got in where, she said, Dartmouth. I hugged her and said Oh, that's great, but where is the dog? Then it became more acceptances, and more tears.</p>
<p>I cried when I was rejected EA from Stanford, and again after rejection from UCLA, and finally after my rejection from UMKC-school of medicine. It was hard getting rejected from my three first choices, but now I'm really looking forward to going to USC.</p>
