<p>i got the email after my mother chastised me for being a terrible student
it was amusing</p>
<p>hahahahaha</p>
<p>I gotta admit that he NYU one was pretty funny.</p>
<p>I didn't happen to me buut I thought it was funny.</p>
<p>My friend checked her decisions on her iPhone after school and she got in..and she was so distracted and shocked she walked right into the middle of the street without looking and then tripped over...her own feet or something haha and landed up on the ground. Luckily no cars were around but she scrapped her knees and her hands. She was so excited though, she didn't even notice the blood and ran screaming to the parking lot. Me and my other friends thought she was like badly injured because all we saw was blood on her legs and hands..we were scared to death until she told us :)</p>
<p>^
If I got hit my a car, I probably would still be smiling. I'd be in pain, but I would still be smiling-- I mean, it depends on if it's my top choices.</p>
<p>Hahah it was one of her top choices :) She didn't even realize she got hurt. But after the shock and excitement wore off a little, she realized how much pain she was in. Like..both of her knees are completely scratched up so it made it hard to walk but she didn't notice at all when she first got the acceptance. I think she may have scratched her iPhone screen too. Her backpack and books flew everywhere though haha, she didn't even bother to pick them up until after she told us.</p>
<p>I would probably be laughing hysterically. I'd feel guilty about it, though.</p>
<p>Rutgers - When I got the admissions folder (they send this really fancy embossed black folder with a tacky certificate of admission), it was almost an inside joke between me and my parents. I knew there was almost no way in hell I was going there.</p>
<p>Penn (ED) - One click...read "Congratulations!"...was out of my seat, on the floor, yelling "I'm In!"...best feeling ever...now I know how those tennis players feel after they collapse upon winning a major slam :).</p>
<p>I said, "Holy ****" when I got a text from Loyola University Chicago. I still need to hear from my top two choices...</p>
<p>I was overcome with joy. I received decisions online from a whole lot of schools in a very small timeframe. I miss those days :P It felt like being on top of the world.</p>
<p>I love reading through all these wonderful and joyous stories. Hopefully, this thread will be filled with more of them in the next week or so. Like allemanau, we did not have a "WOW, you're in" type of moment and the subsequent feelings of joy and glee. In fact, it was a rather underwhelming, extremely drawn out process for our family.</p>
<p>Congrats to all and best of luck to those still waiting!!</p>
<p>3 words:
jump on it</p>
<p>I wait for the aid, or if it has arrived already, i react to it more than the decision. Yes, this is a sad chapter of my life.</p>
<p>I was in school using my history teacher's computer. I logged into my email and i saw the UCLA email saying that admissions are up. I called my two friends over to help me in my time of nervousness. I logged into the website and before clicking "view decision", i told my best friend to come closer and look while i covered my eyes with my shirt. I heard a click and then a huge "YAY". i pulled my shirt down and there was a huge congratulations. I began to scream, hug my friends, begin shaking out of joy, walk around. I was so happy i could not stop smiling and laughing and hugging people. I was so happy. So memorable. ill never forget it.</p>
<p>So at 5:15 I checked the site for UCLA and it still wasn't up yet and I started to get really nervous. After I while, I figured that they didn't release the information yet. So I surfed online for about an hour and then later my friend IM'ed me and gave me the link to the "real" site where I can log in to see. Then my heart started to pound really fast and I kept smiling nervously. At first, I clicked the link but I didn't look at it. I looked away and said to myself that it's going to be okay if I don't make it in. In fact, I won't make it. Then I took a deep breath and looked and it took a few seconds to register the "Congratulations!" and then I let a huge breath of air go. Then I started to smile and be all giddy and squirm in my seat. I stood up and was about to prance and yell in my room but my mom was outside lol. So I just screamed in my throat. It was a GREAT feeling. I was numb after that.</p>
<p>Damn I felt like I wrote an novel.</p>
<p>Well, I applied ED to dartmouth, I had gotten an email from Dartmouth saying that they would post the decisions at 4:00PM on December 10. I was nervous for the next few days, and I checked the website throughout the day, hoping that they would post early. FINALLY, the day ended, and after I had done all my club work, etc, it was 3:45PM, and I was anxious to get home quickly. I drove home with my sister, and at 3:55, I got home, but then my mother called me to tell me to pick her up from the train station, since she had just gotton off work. </p>
<p>I looked at the clock, swore, and told my sister to quickly turn on the computer, and to log in and to call me when the decision came in.</p>
<p>I went to pick up my mother, and at 4:05PM, I just couldn't take it anymore. I phoned home (while driving...don't do this) and I impatiently asked my sister whether I got into Dartmouth.</p>
<p>She told me that she was checking her email.</p>
<p>And I told her to get off the email, and to login to the Dartmouth website. After an agonizing 3 minutes, she finally found where I had written my user name and pw, and she told me...</p>
<p>"You got in!!"</p>
<p>I didn't believe her, and I thought she was playing a cruel joke on me. I kept asking her... "Did I get in? did I get in?" </p>
<p>Finally, she just read from the acceptance letter, and by that time, I just started laughing really loudly and whooping. I was still driving the car, and it was raining outside, so thank God that we made it home safely. </p>
<p>When I got home, I logged in to be really, really, really, sure (in case it was a really, really cruel joke from my sister) and by that time, I was floating on cloud nine.</p>
<p>btw, my mom still tells people how I laughed like a madman when I heard the news in the car.</p>
<p>Good thread</p>
<p>When I got my Pepperdine acceptance I screamed for about 30 seconds, then called my grandma and mom to tell them. I was shaking for 15 minutes afterward.</p>
<p>I got into my safeties back in January, and was pretty happy.</p>
<p>When I got my letter from NYU, I thought oh! sweet! I could see myself going there.</p>
<p>Yesterday, I was in a really crappy mood. Bad haircut, bad day. Just horrible. I checked my email when I got home from school like I normally do. UChicago. "Great. Icing on the cake..."</p>
<p>Logged in, clicked on "View Decision Letter."</p>
<p>"I am pleased to inform-"</p>
<p>A loud, short AH!!!! Sprinted downstairs and screamed MOM! I GOT INTO CHICAGO.
Its the happiest moment in recent memory, for sure. =]</p>
<p>Called my dad at work, and gathered myself up enough to sound sad like I got rejected- then boom.</p>
<p>Logged in like 5 times to make sure it wasn't a mistake. Looked at it again today.</p>
<p>So awesome. My dream school.</p>
<p>I took off my clothes and started running, to a amazing prep school (not college). Then, I screamed really loudly. Then I tore up a huge project...</p>
