<p>it was more of a stunned silence for the first few seconds, then a “OMG I GOT IN!”</p>
<p>^^ Same. The big congratulations on the SPS acceptance took awhile to load, but I could tell about 1/3 of the way down what it said. Even though I was half asleep (woke up at 6 to check…couldn’t fall fully asleep)</p>
<p>My parents were all, “Congratulations!”
I mean, there wasn’t a big party or screaming and crying or anything…
(I think it’s because they finally realized they’d have to send their child away even though she wasn’t even going to college… but for high school).
When I got home from school, my mom told me I got into Exeter and Groton (I didn’t know about Milton at the time) and I just screamed for like, 5 seconds. Oh, and I was pretty much the happiest person on the face of the planet for like, a couple hours…</p>
