<p>SNAKE! That game will be the reason I will not get around to my RD apps.</p>
<p>accepted: be paralyzed for a moment, refresh the page to make sure, then stomp downstairs at full speed (and volume) to tell my mom. call my bffs. set facebook status to “YALEYALEYALE(goes on for a bit)YALE XD lux et veritas <3”. study for apgov. fail the test b/c i was too happy about yale to focus.
deferred: torture myself by imagining how awesome acceptance would have been and how much rejection’s gonna suck come april. study for apgov. fail the test b/c i was distracted throughout the whole thing, thinking about how badly i wish i were going to yale. play sad music on the piano. sulk for four months at least, but keep a tiny bit of hope locked away.
rejected: cry. stomp downstairs slowly so as to emphasize my misery with every resounding thud. tell my mom. try to study gov, but be too stricken with hopelessness to continue. fail the test because i didn’t study, but life will have already become meaningless. play the most depressing nocturne i can find. over and over. sulk until april. sulk when I go to my #2 (or 3 or 4, who knows?) college in august until i finally decide i’m really happy there and it worked out.</p>
<p>Logoleptic, you have nothing to worry about. You saved a freakin’ baby alpaca.</p>
<p>addendum-</p>
<p>rejected: cry and commit seppuku</p>
<p>^lol nne718 I actually thought of that, but decided to be consistent with my narrative (although seppuku adds a dramatic twist, i guess). haha great minds think alike (and get admitted to yale)?</p>
<p>Accepted: Sit in my room, probably staring at the screen for ten minutes, paralyzed. Then tell my mom straightaway. Then probably not tell anyone else for a while. But I’ll definitely do a dance and buy a new Yale hoodie or something lol. Start packing. Stay chill about other apps, not kill myself over them.</p>
<p>Deferred: Feel a tinge of disappointment, dive into Rice, Stanford, and USC apps straightaway.</p>
<p>Rejected: Sadness. No crying from this tough guy (lol), but I’ll feel empty for a few days afterward. Then I’ll wake up and panic about my other apps and not sleep until January 1st comes lol.</p>
<p>None of this is happening to me until next year anyway. :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That game will be the reason I become a homeless drug-addict.</p>
<p>logoleptic, I have a couple finals on the 16th. No matter what the decision is, I’m sure I’ll fail them for the same reasons as you!!!</p>
<p>Accepted: stare blankly. scream. go running and shopping.
Deferred: mope. pray.
Rejected: stare blankly. cry. go buy ice cream.</p>
<p>^ice cream > praying???</p>
<p>hmm…ice cream seems to be the comfort food of choice for a lot of people…</p>
<p>as far as I’m concerned, ice cream is just plain good. Any excuse to have some works^^</p>
<p>Accepted: Cry. Jump around with my friends.
Deferred: Cry. Jump around nervously till March.
Rejected: Cry. Jump around in agony yelling "WHYYYY ? "</p>
<p>I bought Ben&Jerrys at the grocery store today in preparation for next Wednesday. I couldn’t decide which flavor so I bought two - Berried Treasure and Cherry Garcia</p>
<p>^Cherry Garcia is the best.</p>
<p>phish food and half baked :)</p>
<p>deferred - be happy
rejected - accept it (haha! pun intended?)</p>
<p>accepted… nah, I don’t think so.</p>
<p>accepted: keep refreshing the page for 10 minutes just to make sure it wasn’t a glitch. scream, freak out, dance like there’s no tommorow and party! and then check a couple of times again in the morning just for good measure.</p>
<p>deferred: wait anxiously for my tiny glimmer of hope to be crushed in april. attempt to finish other apps.</p>
<p>rejected: i’d be disappointed but not necessarily surprised. it’d just be a huge bother to have to finish up a bunch more apps.</p>
<p>^my favorite is cherry garcia <3</p>
<p>Accepted: print out a copy of the e-mail or status page so I have proof for my parents; post the motto on Facebook; act as if nothing has happened when I’m at school; hug everyone I personally know.</p>
<p>Deferred: revamp my common app for the other schools; try extra hard on my final exams for the current semester.</p>
<p>Rejected: cry a little; start on those other schools’ supplements, haha… and send in those Canadian university applications.</p>
<p>
So… if you told them you got in, they wouldn’t believe you!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agreed. Also, chunky monkey.</p>
<p>The holy trinity of Ben and Jerry’s…</p>
<p>I’ve just realized that if I’m deferred, I’ll probably post my results then maybe come back to the Yale forum in a few months, and if I’m rejected, I’ll probably post my results then I probably won’t be coming back</p>
