How will you act on decision day???

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>My friend and I were discussing today what we are going to do when December 15 or April whatever rolls around and we await our decisions. What would you do?</p>

<p>Before reading scores (at school)- have a nervous, empty feeling in stomach, not be able to eat, shake and tremble, not focus, basically freak out</p>

<p>Go home, go to room, quietly turn on computer. Put on soothing music, open up webpage but stare at computer doing breathing exercises for five minutes before hitting "log in"</p>

<p>If accepted= Scream, jump, clap, stutter, dance, smile, tell my family, run around, post jubilant facebook/twitter statuses</p>

<p>If rejected= stop talking, do not leave room, eventually escape to KFC with my friend if she gets rejected as well. Split the 20 piece meal with her, not telling our health-conscious parents. Trash talk all colleges, consider taking a year off to "find myself"</p>

<p>I’ll be fine if I get rejected (December 1st is just Stanford and Yale anyways - don’t get me wrong, I’d love to go, but it’s unlikely and those are not my first choices), however, if I get in, there will probably be a rousing rendition of “Yes We Can.”</p>

3

<p>Get caught up in all the nervous energy at school. When it’s time to check my email, find out for myself first. React by myself for a minute, then go downstairs to tell my parents.</p>

4

<p>I’ll probably be sneaking onto my phone, at school, checking to see if decisions are up, at two minute intervals.
Since I’m probably getting deferred or rejected I’ll most likely get mopey and watch depressing movies all day.</p>

5

<p>You should ask me after I’m accepted or rejected. But I’ll probably try and make it a normal day (but that will definitely fail).</p>

6

<p>i’m doing regular decision to all of my ~15 schools. & i’m naturally a bit nervous, so i will be a WRECK on these days/the days leading up to these days. i’m applying to a bunch of reaches+a few match/safeties, so if i get into even just 1 reach, i will be ecstatic :D</p>

7

<p>If I dont get accepted ED, Ill have to start my other apps. lmao.</p>

8

<p>Depends. If I get accepted, I’ll be jumping for joy throughout the day. If not…I’ll be really sad…I only have one reach, and I’ve worked really hard to get in there.</p>

<p>Though I will be angry if the reason I’m not accepted is because of my counselor rec or transcript (specifically that my counselor reported both my ACT and SAT scores without telling me, and my SAT scores were awful).</p>

<p>If I don’t get accepted to my reach, I guess I’ll fill in a few more apps for some safeties and just wait for my easy match decision to come in a few weeks later.</p>

<p>lmao ya me too, why do all the other essays if you dont have to right? ;p</p>

10

<p>I’m gonna be sooooooooooo nervous! I hate the feeling of viewing the final decision (like viewing SAT/ACT scores, etc.) because it’s like you’ve worked sooooo hard to accomplish and you could potentially just have it all thrown back at you.</p>

<p>At least we’ll get our answers December 15th, instead of April.</p>

11

<p>^haha, exactly! the seconds before the whole ~typing in your password for the last time~ deal are the absolute worst feeling in the world : P</p>

12

<p>accepted: go out and get trashed
deferred/rejected: go out and get trashed</p>

13

<p>ill be so relaxed. by april i wont have any more academic classes and im solidly in at 2/3 schools. i just wish april would come faster, i wanna know about the third school bluhhhhhihskfjaskjf</p>

14

<p>Choklit, I thought you were at Harvard already :/</p>

15

<p>accepted: body will orgasm, basically freak out, facebook it, tell everyone, celebrate</p>

<p>rejected: im not kidding when i say this, ill probably be in a state of shock for a few hours where the info hasnt been processed correctly to my brain. then ill freak out and probably cry myself to sleep.</p>

16

<p>I’m applying early decision to Carleton.</p>

<p>I wanna open up my letter with my girlfriend but if I can’t see her that day, I’m not gonna wait. </p>

<p>If I get accepted, I will jump up and down, yell, dance, have a heart attack, gloat on facebook, and respond to congratulatory responses</p>

<p>If I get rejected, I will read over the letter two or three more times looking for some sort of error, throw things, cry, curse the world via facebook, and respond to apologetic responses. And then I’ll start filling out my other applications.</p>

17

<p>will probably stay up until 12 am:
if accepted: will probably not get any sleep until school starts the next day
rejected: ohhh fackkkkkkkkkkkk</p>

<p>and no gloating or posting on facebook/myspace for me, even if im accepted. prob will only tell a few ppl</p>

18

<p>I’ve always imagined getting accepted when Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again” is playing for some strange reason (I really don’t know why). I will listen to that and look at them =)</p>

<p>As for how I will react, it depends on the schools I am accepted into.</p>

19

<p>If it’s one of my top three choices I’m going all out. Buying clothing. Texting my close friends. Telling my whole family. Facebook status, haha.</p>

<p>For the rest … I’ll just tell my friends and family. No big deal.</p>

</p>

<p>I imagine 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky in the background. It’s fitting regardless of the outcome (except maybe if I’m waitlisted).</p>
