<p>What's with the ice cream thing?</p>
<p>My favorite way of dealing with depression :) My friends and I have this thing where if we all get together on Valentines (no guys or bf allowed) and have our "singles awareness day..." where we gorge ourselves on ice cream and watch movies. lol... it' something that we started in middle school and, well, the group kinda expanded over the years and now ice cream is pretty much synonomous with either hard work or recent hardship...:p I know, it's silly... but it's really fun from out perspective... haha</p>

<p>One thing that you wish you had done: I don't know... I'm fairly satisfied with the past 4 years.</p>
<p>Whether You are Going to Status Check Online: Yeah, duh. Props to anyone who can actually wait for snail mail.</p>
<p>*What will you do if you are...</p>
<p>Accepted:* Scream, jump up and down, run around the house like a lunatic.</p>
<p>Waitlisted: Be mad because deferred SCEA-->waitlisted would mean I wasn't quite good enough.</p>
<p>Rejected: Nothing, I guess, since this is the expected outcome. Besides, it'll put some finality on this whole crazy process... and I've already been accepted to Rice, which is a pretty freakin good backup. haha :D</p>
<p>One thing you wish you had done: Taken a more challenging courseload.
Whether you are going to status check online: YES
What will you do if you are...
Accepted: yell "ASDJ!!AHOMGOMGOMGOMGNOWAY!!!!". Then maybe shed a tear. Tell my parents. Call my best friends.
Waitlisted: Feel somewhat special, but not too special. Kinda happy, but not too happy. God, that would be terrible..
Rejected: Let out a sigh of relief. Then take a long, long college admissions free nap.</p>
<p>Anyone else before I let this thread sink into oblivion?</p>
<p>1.) Taken the essays more seriously</p>
<p>2.) Email, duh! Why wait for the inevitable? The decision was made a long time ago.</p>
<p>3.) Refresh my browser to see if what I'm seeing is real; check the header of the email to make sure it's not a joke; Get very quiet in my room for the few minutes; jump up, drop the chair, my eyes get really big, Yell "Oh my god I got in, i got in, i got in"; then my parents would ask "To where?" and i'd be like "To Harvard, oh my god, I can't believe i got in!" then my little brother would be dancing around; I would then email my teachers, leave a bullitein on myspace, and call everyone in my cell phone.</p>
<p>4.) Okay, let me check the other college today (i.e. Yale, Columbia, etc.; if they yeild acceptance, proceed with above actions replacing "Harvard" with said college.</p>
<p>5.) "I knew I wouldn't get in...Harvard is just for stuck-up rich kids. I wouldn't have fit in anyway." :)</p>
<p>One thing you wish you had done: enjoyed high school a little more
Whether you are going to status check online: yup
What will you do if you are...
Accepted: SCREAM! and then call my parents
Waitlisted: mixed feelings (happy that I was very seriously considered but sad that I was so close to getting in and didn't make it)
Rejected: Just forget about it and focus on my acceptance (hopefully I will have gotten into a few other ivies by the time the email arrives)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I would have included another essay with my Harvard app. There is a trip that I wanted them to know (that I wrote about in most of my other apps) that I didn't include with the Harvard application because I thought they only wanted 2 essays (one on common app, one on supplement).</p></li>
<li><p>Online!!!! omg, Boston mail --> Taiwan takes a whole week.</p></li>
<li><p>Accepted - Laugh crazily and celebrate at school! (I will be checking my admission decision right before I go to school).</p></li>
<li><p>Waitlisted - Fill in "Yes! I will attend" on the MIT Response Form.</p></li>
<li><p>Rejected - Attend MIT and cross-register in Harvard classes. ;)</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>Improved my SAT II score</p></li>
<li><p>e-Mail. I live in Germany, so waiting for the post to arrive would take another 5 days, and by that time, I'll be in Malaysia 20 meters below sea level...yay scuba diving!</p></li>
<li><p>Spend 10 minutes screaming, crying and laughing. Spend three hours notifying all the people I promised to notify. Get drunk.</p></li>
<li><p>Hope for the best and enjoy our vacation.</p></li>
<li><p>Hope that one of the other colleges accepts me. Not getting into Harvard is no shame.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>Fixed that really stupid typo-ish thing in my essay. Instead of "more," I said "less." <em>headdesk</em> Only found it two months after I submitted my app. But maybe they never saw it... none of my proofreaders did. :)</p></li>
<li><p>Online. Psh. Like I'd be able to hold back.</p></li>
<li><p>Um... automatically alienate all my friends by repeatingly shouting in their faces, "I got in!" Oh, and I'd allow myself to wear a Harvard sweatshirt again.</p></li>
<li><p>Shrug and move onto the Yale email. Or the Columbia one.</p></li>
<li><p>Ditto above.</p></li>
