<p>So just out of curiosity how did your parents react when you got into a HADES (Hotchkiss Andover Deerfield Exeter St Pauls) school ?</p>
<p>Plus how did you react to getting in?</p>
<p>Which school had the nicest admission letter ?</p>
<p>My parents?! Hahah, to be honest, they'd probably be in tears and muttering about how much I've grown up, etc, etc. They'd be the last thing on my mind if I got in!
(Sorry. I didn't get in a HADES school, & I haven't even applied yet, but I'm curious to know, too!)</p>
<p>I remember that one of the Ivies (and / or Stanford, because I count it too!) had a pretty cold rejection letter. Others (like the one of Cornell) was pretty nice and soft. I hope the Boarding School ones are like that, but nobody really wants to see a rejection letter anyways, so.. :P</p>
<p>i count MIT as a should be an ivy league school but is not a ivy school.</p>
<p>if i got in i would jump and scream</p>
<p>probably say "f<em>c</em>k yes!!!!" a lot</p>
<p>@ Senay:
I wouldn't scream, I'd probably go out to Minoru Park (local park) and scream my lungs out for about 20 minutes. Or something like that.</p>
<p>& On one of the Ivy league early admission threads (yes, I'm obsessed.. oh well), I think it was Yale, a girl said that she screamed so loud that the neighbours got worried and called the police and a policeman was literally at her house, congratulating her. Haha. I wonder if she got a fine for domestic noise disruption, or something..</p>
<p>wait divealive, i dont get what your saying. are you saying u wouldnt scream but at the same time you would scream?</p>
<p>That's so DEEP!</p>
<p>hahahahahahaahahah</p>
<p>@ senay:
okay, now that i've read that over, it doesn't make much sense either
i guess i was using sarcastic context (like, in a non-nasty way!!), by saying i wouldn't just scream, i'd scream like craaaazy. does that make sense? :P</p>
<p>but seriously. i'd probably do the happy dance and get police and psychiatrists called in or something..</p>
<p>same here!!! i would jump up and down in public. squeal. ppl will think im a freak</p>
<p>i would start laughing hysterically :)</p>
<p>Hades is not an appealing acronym [url=<a href="http://www.pantheon.org/articles/h/hades.html%5DHades%5B/url">http://www.pantheon.org/articles/h/hades.html]Hades[/url</a>]. As Greek gods go, I think you want a happy one or a god of wisdom -- not someone in the underworld dreaded by humans. When I first read the acronym, I thought it was a joke. Anyway, my 2 cents.</p>
<p>I'd flip.</p>
<p>Not sure how 'flipping' manifests in my personality, but it would be... interesting.</p>
<p>Like Elaine from Seinfeld; "GET OUT!" Haha... sorry, Seinfeld applies to every moment in my life.</p>
<p>my mom would cry
my dad would cry
i would cry
my dog would cry
lots of tears</p>
<p>HADGES? Because Groton should be among the chosen too, you know :)</p>
<p>Then again, hadges isn't much more appealing than Hades. hehehe.</p>
<p>what would you guys do if you got rejected?
i'd probably like, stare at my letter and rip it up and stomp on it + shred it + set it on fire, then proceed to open the other letters :)</p>
<p>hmmm itd feel like my dreams were broken, like my soul was sucked out, i would begin crying :(</p>
<p>Ha ha, Burbparent I noticed that too when but I reasoned that since Harvard Yale and Princeton have the unfortunate acronym "HYP" which sounds like hype it would only be befitting that the little Harvard Yale Princeton club should have a similarly unfortunate acronym and hence Hades isn't so bad after all. All we need is something catchy that people can remember. Hadges --- not working. We need more schools with vowels !!</p>
<p>Re: HADES. I agree with BurbParent, that it is not appealing. Last year, everyone seemed to use AESDH.....I think the pro-Hotchkiss fans wanted it to be listed first, so that is the reason it has started.</p>
<p>Re: HYP....those of us who did not go to H put a different letter first. ;)</p>
<p>Haha I played Hades in my 9th grade school play...God of the Underworld. What a coincidence lol.</p>
<p>I THINK IT MEANS SOMETHING!!! ...no j.k :D</p>
<p>AHA ! I have found the perfect acronym ! After playing around with the letters I landed on the HEADS schools. Which is quite appropriate since they are intellectual and ahead of the rest (except for Groton and Milton). So from now on lets call them the HEADS schools. </p>
<p>Hotchkiss</p>
<p>Exeter</p>
<p>Andover</p>
<p>Deerfield</p>
<p>St.Pauls.</p>
<p>What do you guys think ?</p>
<p>I highly doubt anyone cares which letter is first and which is last what matters is that it forms a real life semi-appropriate word and I think HEADS is perfect in that regard. What do you guys think ?</p>
<p>haha, HEADS works for me. it's better than an evil greek god, anyways :)</p>
<p>where smart heads join together to unite, as .. er, one giant head!
anyways, it works for me. :P</p>
