<p>So guys...decision time is like in a week or so. I'm probably gonna die from a heart attack the day of. How will you guys celebrate (or mourn) if you get in/do not get in?
Also, will you share the news on Facebook? What will you put as your status?</p>
<p>I really don’t know yet. I’ve never been in a position like this before.
Probably no matter what the decision is, I’ll stare at my computer screen in shock, not really believing it, for a few seconds.</p>
<p>I’ll probably just look at the computer, see the decision, log out, and then leave. (note this will prob be at the school library if they release it before the afternoon) I’ll save the celebrating or QQing for later.</p>
<p>i’ll freak out either way. cause i can totally see myself getting in, so if i don’t i’ll obviously be upset. but at the same time i can see myself not getting in, so i’ll freak out if i do!</p>
<p>i probably won’t put anything on facebook. just because i feel like
a) it’d be bragging and i don’t wanna do that.
or
b) i’d feel so ashamed and wouldn’t want anyone knowing.</p>
<p>I’d probably jump up and scream for a while, then call my friends and update my Facebook status. Oh, and I’ll play “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” a couple hundred times 
I’m not planning on not getting in, that’s just depressing.</p>

<p>Doesn’t the MIT tube have confetti in it? I think that answers what I’ll be doing…</p>
<p>The tube doesn’t come until long after the decision, though, I believe.</p>
<p>Hmm… the closest situation I’ve had in the past I basically just said “Seriously?” all surprised a couple of times then just had a huge smile on my face for the next few hours. If I’m not accepted I’ll just be like that “Okay” meme face or something. Heh.</p>
<p>I decided that I will only tell my math teacher because I have a really close relationship with her, as well as my parents when I first find out. Everyone else will have to wait until Christmas and their presents will be MIT shirts 
I know my grandma will cry because she knows how important MIT is to me. Hopefully I can give my family the best Christmas presents ever! I’ve already had dreams about this.</p>
<p>If I don’t get in, I will be really disappointed. I don’t know if I will get so upset as to be depressed but I will be really mad that I won’t be able to get away from home (if I don’t get into MIT, my parents would pretty much force me to go to our state school which is literally 10 minutes away)</p>
<p>If I get deferred I will be happy I’m not rejected but I will be on edge until April, which will not be fun. However, I will work super hard at maybe writing another essay for MIT and perhaps search for some competitions to do or something. </p>
<p>If I get in, I will run down my street screaming my head off and wearing a gorilla costume…ok just kidding.</p>
<p>Depending on when I find out, I would of course tell my family, but not say anything online…I would wait to see my friends and favorite teachers in person and then tell them.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I should even dare to hope ;(
As much as I expect rejection or deferral, I bet it will still sting so badly</p>
<p>Remember, if you don’t have any/extremely low expectations, you can’t be disappointed. I’m expecting to be rejected. An admit/deferral would be GREAT news :)</p>
<p>
I’m expecting the most likely outcome, which is being deferred. If I’m accepted it would be a pleasant surprise. If it’s a rejection, it would be disappointing but I think after the initial disappointment I would be thankful that they didn’t deffer me then reject me in March (because if I get rejected now, it means that it’s extremely unlikely that they would accept me in March).
It is almost impossible not to get my hopes up, though.</p>
<p>I’m just trying to stay positive about the whole thing. If I don’t get in, then at least I’ll always have the hopeful time leading up to the point where I find that out. </p>

<p>we don’t find out when we find out until monday ):</p>
<p>So I guess if I’m deferred/rejected(essentially the same thing in my mind), I’ll look back and appreciate that I had so much time before my dreams were dashed. Although, if I’m accepted, then I’ll probably hold a grudge about how long it took for MIT to tell me lol(JK)</p>

<p>I’m expecting a deferral. If I get a rejection I will be so ashamed. If I get in I will faint and tell the world when I wake up.</p>
<p>I have been looking forward to/dreading this day for as long as I can remember. If I get deferred, I would be just meh… I at least I have a chance. If I get accept or denied, I would cry (wow, I haven’t cried in a while) --tears of joy or tears of sadness.</p>
<p>“I’m expecting a deferral. If I get a rejection I will be so ashamed. If I get in I will faint and tell the world when I wake up.”</p>
<p>Ditto, I’m definitely not going to post it on social networks (like Facebook) though, everyone’s been getting rejected/deferred right and left, I’m sure nobody would want to see it</p>
<p>Damn you early decision goers 
Too bad internationals applicants only know their fate in late March… Good luck to y’all!</p>
<p>I’m expecting a deferral. My stats are good, but my test scores were low in comparison to most people. Still high, but just lower than the norm. </p>
<p>Usually I get this depressing sixth sense feeling that something isn’t going to happen. But not for this, I have no real feeling for what the decision will be. I’m trying to stay positive. I started by applying just to get in, because I doubted myself. But now, after going through the whole process, it has once again become something I really want to get into. But we’ll see. If I get rejected, I may cry a tiny bit and kick myself for not doing better, but I’ll be okay. I am probably into every other school I applied to, so I have safety and comfort in that.</p>
<p>If I get accepted, I’ll sit speechless for a few minutes and call my parents and friend. If my friend also gets into Harvard, we will both rejoice. If he doesn’t, though, I won’t make a fuss over myself, since he values Harvard more than his life.</p>
