How Did You React to Seeing: "You are Admitted...Congratulations!"

<p>I was happy and shaking and calling my parents and then I read it aloud and it said for Spring 2010. FML. OY Northeastern. Way to make my life that much more complicated. Ughhh</p>

<p>I am actually insane. </p>

<p>When I saw the acceptance e-mail for NYU, I started breathing in hiccups and hiccuping in sobs, and suddenly out of nowhere I was crying and on my knees and thanking God (even though I'm not religious). and then I got up--still in tears--and started doing jet</p>

<p>Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who started sobbing. I found out I was accepted to my dream school literally ten seconds after being waitlisted by what I thought was a match.. so crazy emotions going on. Man, I feel so melodramatic.</p>

<p>My number one was BU's accelerated med program...which came out today.
I was at play rehearsal until 5:30 so I didn't have computer access at all. my mom called and asked me if i was still at school. She told me she would come pick me up to go to dinner, and I was really confused because I was just about to get into MY car and drive home. So I waited about 20 minutes for her to show up, and lo and behold, both of my parents are sitting in the car. I got in, and my dad looked at me said, very seriously, "Well, Boston came out today, and I want you to remember that no matter what, we still think you're number one."
So I freaked out, thinking I had been for sure rejected. "So I didn't get in, huh?" I asked...to which he responded: "You didn't...<em>long pause</em> NOT get in."<br>
I screamed at my dad for about five seconds, then jumped out of the car and did a happy dance in the school parking lot. There were a few people giving me weird looks, but WHATEVER!!!</p>

<p>Haha, that was a ridiculously long story, but yup, that was my <em>delayed</em> joyous reaction!</p>

<p>One school, I basically giggled like a maniac and then grinned ear to ear. The last few have come when I've been EXHAUSTED/stressed, so I'm more chill</p>

<p>When I got acceptance to BC I was jumping up and down and I actually broke my door lol. The BU/safety acceptances I took in stride. I thank God for all of them.</p>

<p>I was pretty excited when I got my acceptance letters, even though I saw online before hand. I'm a fairly reserved person, so I didn't jump up and down or scream or anything lol. </p>

<p>I was more excited when I started getting scholarships and honors college invites.</p>

<p>Well, my parents really don't care about the college process, so it's been a pretty one-sided celebration. :( When I got into my first choice, I cried on the phone with my mom and she was like "stop your crying you silly girl" lol OH WELL at least my friends celebrated with me. :]</p>

<p>Well... my reactions were different for each school.</p>

<p>Creighton Univ. - I was watching my brother play in a B-Squad basketball game. I was about to go get ready for my varsity game when I received a text from a number I didn't recognize. I showed the number to one of my teammates. He said he didn't recognize the number, but he opened the text and read it. Then he said, "Hey. You got accepted to Creighton." I did not enjoy finding out like that. It was the first decision I had received, and I had hoped it would be more traditional.</p>

<p>Marquette Univ. - Again. I received a text. This time I opened it. I said, "Oh. that's cool." I did not even tell my parents about the first two acceptances until I received the actual packets from the school with scholarship information. (I don't say that to put down the schools, but I was very disappointed with the way that I found out)</p>

<p>Univ. of Minn. - This time I received the packet. I read, "Welcome to the University of Minnesota." Then I searched for whether or not I was accepted to CBS. I found out that I was. I ran up to my parents' room and told them I was accepted. They were very happy because they really want me to go to there.</p>

<p>Northwestern - I was checking this site and my e-mail almost constantly on Wednesday the 25th. I did that for a number of hours rather than study for my AP Bio and History tests that I had the next day. The next day I came home from playing basketball, and the e-mail was sitting in my inbox. I checked CC to see how many others were being accepted. Stared at my inbox for a while. Opened it. "F***". I was accepted. I swore because I don't know where I am going to go now. My parents want UMN; I am leaning towards NU.</p>

<p>I cried a little bit. I was so happy. Then I told my best friend and then my teacher, and then called my mom.</p>

<p>Then I realised I'd have to do well on my IB exams. Urgh.</p>

<p>Fapped, took a nap, ate some pizza, then fapped again. That was my night after getting in.</p>

<p>oh wow. my first major acceptance was UCLA. i was right about to leave my friend's house to go home when our other friend sent me a text saying, "UCLA decisions are online." We raced back into the house. The dog went crazy. Everyone was wondering why were freaking out. My friend was freaking out, trying to find her login id. Finally, she checked and got in. We were jumping up and down, hugging, yelling for 5 minutes. I was scared to check, but i went for it anyway. All i saw was "Congratulations.." and we started screaming, crying, and hugging for another 10 minutes. It was probably one of the greatest moments ever.</p>

<p>Michigan early: Yay, I got into college.</p>

<p>Rice: didn't know decisions were up, found out on a forum, then went through my email history to find my login ID, finally logged in, and saw accepted. Ran around my room a few times.</p>

<p>Berkeley: didn't know decisions were up, so when I found out I tried to login but forgot my password. So I had to create a new account (which took about fifteen minutes for whatever reason), and when I entered my new account password (I was thinking I had to login again) an acceptance screen came up. But then I had to get off the computer because I was at a timed internet place and I didn't want to pay more.</p>

<p>Common theme? I never knew how to tell my parents the decisions (the rejections were even harder). For Rice I told my dad he should book a flight to Houston. For Cal I told my dad that I was probably going to get rejected from CMU, but I didn't care anymore because I got into Cal the day before (good news, bad news dealy). For Umich I told them because they already knew decisions were out so I couldn't hide anything. If I get into my major reach I don't know what I'll do.</p>

<p>got really quiet, went for a walk
then after about half an hour got really excited and did the standard stuff</p>

<p>wow what wonderful stories!! how exciting for all of you...but just made me realize i have a problem. son is junior this year, attends a math/science school 6 hours away and only comes home for school breaks. when his acceptances/rejections/wl etc start coming in next year, i assume they will come here... that means i have to give the good news or bad!! from a student point of view...(i assume we could make the mailing address his school and let the letters go to him)....should we have them come here or there?</p>

<p>When my D got into her top choice school, I found out on the phone and called her at home. She was hanging out at our house with a friend and when I told her we both started crying and she was jumping up and down. Her friend got on the phone with me and asked why she was crying and jumping up and down because she couldn't talk, lol...great moment.</p>

<p>My son got declined by two top choice schools and we were just quiet and sad for a few minutes but he got into the limited enrollment Architecture program at his third choice school so that was a great acceptance when we found out. He takes longer to get excited but is quietly happy and getting more and more excited. Honestly, he's very happy just to know he get into Architecture and have a decision he likes. College decision stress...over!</p>

<p>i got into emory university so unexpectedly!
i was such a happy camper! same with
tech, miami etc</p>

<p>It was about 3:30 on a thursday afternoon. I had just gotten home from a key club meeting and was preparing to go to hold a Relay for Life meeting (event chair) & had, ironically enough, just stopped talking to one of my friends about how tired i was of waiting. I went to the mailbox as always and saw this big envelope from Cornell. I was a little confused, wondering if maybe they were sending me another view book or something, but when I opened it and read the letter all I could focus on was one line :"you will be offered admission to Cornell..." I started freaking out, I was jumping up and down, I teared up, called my best friends and my sisters and was just ecstatic the rest of the day. I'm still a bit in shock. Especially after getting a "very likely" from Dartmouth and admitted to Boston U with a half scholarship.
I can't wait for tuesday, but it is really a great feeling and a wonderful affirmation that everything that I have done in my life has paid off.</p>

<p>haha i'm not very emotional, so I didn't really react.
but on the inside, I was happy :)</p>

<p>I was the most excited about my SDSU acceptance, because that was the only school I actually opened a letter to.</p>

<p>I had just gotten home from the gym and my mom says to me "Oh, something came for you in the mail." It was a big packet from SDSU. I figured it was probably just a "thank you for applying, here's why you should come here" thing because i didn't expect to get a decision so early. When I opened however, there was a letter saying Congratulations! I pretty much freaked out, screamed my head off, jumped up and down.. the whole shi-bang! lol.</p>

<p>For Pepperdine, I was excited. I got the email.. Before I opened it I felt sick. I was really excited to get accepted, but I never really wanted to go there because my brother attends that school and I want to find my own school to go to.. if that makes any sense. It was still a really exciting moment though.</p>

<p>For Chapman, I found out through my webadvisor. It was pretty much the same as SDSU, but more in control lol. I was home alone though so i had to wait for my mom to get home so i could tell her.</p>

<p>Cal Poly and CSULB I wasn't all that excited about because I had already heard from my three top choices (SDSU, pdine, chapman.)</p>
