Should I be accepted I imagine being so full of ecstasy that I will probably jump out of a window expecting to fly. Once I discover I can’t fly just yet, I’ll probably start running around even with the severe concussion and ten broken bones I have from jumping out of the window. Once the pain finally outweighs the incomprehensible joy of getting accepted I will probably then start crying.</p>

<p>Accepted
- Faint.
- Be happy.
- Show up for rehearsal late after walking around in a euphoric stupor of joy.
- Go play Seaweed in rehearsal. Badly (due to the fact that I’m thinking about Columbia).
- Tell my counselor (for fear that otherwise, she would visit wrath upon me)</p>
<p>Deferred
- Sigh heavily
- Assume I won’t get in the regular round
- Attempt to put Columbia out of my mind
- Fail
- Go play Seaweed in rehearsal. Badly.
- Use the phrase “Seaweed didn’t just get deferred form Columbia” either out loud or internally
- Find some ice cream and a corner to be sad in.</p>
<p>Rejected
- Sigh heavily
- Retreat into silent contemplation filled with internal expletives directed towards my own lack of academic success
- Overcompensate by reminding myself of everything I am good at, leading to an overexpanded ego, much like Congress overcompensating for a downturn in the economy by encouraging too much growth/expansionary fiscal policy/inflation eventually leading to an unbalanced budget/personal outlook on life
- Attempt to put Columbia out of my mind.
- Sigh heavily again
- Irritate my friends by melodramatically wailing about my personal failure and unsuitability for any good task in life.
- Go play Seaweed in rehearsal. Badly.
- Use the phrase “Seaweed didn’t just get rejected from Columbia” either out loud or internally.
- Drag myself through the remainder of my day and refuse to “talk about it” with my irritating parents or younger brother.
- Do my best not to be depressed, because that’s a typical, cliche teenager thing to do.
- Fail miserably and be depressed.
- Deepen depression due to failure to at least be extraordinary in my transcendence of standard behavior, compounding my depression due to failure of extraordinariness
- Eventually remind myself that one’s personal value is as independent of one’s acceptance or lack thereof to college as the force in the y direction is to the force in the x direction.
- Consider the extra work I did for the past several years somewhat of a waste.
- Remember that I’m in school for knowledge, not college acceptance
- Run through another cycle of despair-platitude dialectics
- Eventually reach a synthesis of disappointment, which will fade, eventually, into thinking less about Columbia. Which was the goal anyway.</p>
<p>Accepted
- Happy- because I don’t have to worry about college anymore
- Disappointment- I turned down Harvard…write the apologetic email to the H coach
lol how ironic…because I will be in Boston on Thursday…might as well just walk over to tell him - Run through all the reasons of why I wanted to go to Columbia…and then keep thinking of those
- call parents/friends/counselor yadda yadda</p>
<p>Deferred
- 50%

<p>don’t get me wrong…I really like Columbia…but I have two other first choice schools lol I love all three…and it pains me a little that I won’t get to apply to those</p>
<p>ED…well I made an committment…and my school/parents put a lotta pressure to appply</p>
<p>but I will be definitely happy and grateful if I am accepted</p>
<p>accepted:
watch the dark knight</p>
<p>deferred/rejected:
wait a little and then watch the dark knight</p>
<p>yeaa i have 2 first choice schools - columbia and penn…and i like them both equally but i was pressed by my parents to apply to columbia ED so thats the one i chose.
getting in would be amazing…but i dont think id be completely depressed if i got deferred b/c then i could possibly (and hopefully) have the option of making a choice between schools once regular decision comes around…altho i will be completely depressed if i dont get into penn or columbia regular!</p>
