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>Rejected
1. Sigh heavily
2. Retreat into silent contemplation filled with internal expletives directed towards my own lack of academic success
3. 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
4. Attempt to put Columbia out of my mind.
5. Sigh heavily again
6. Irritate my friends by melodramatically wailing about my personal failure and unsuitability for any good task in life.
7. Go play Seaweed in rehearsal. Badly.

11. Fail miserably and be depressed.
12. Deepen depression due to failure to at least be extraordinary in my transcendence of standard behavior, compounding my depression due to failure of extraordinariness
13. 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.
14. Consider the extra work I did for the past several years somewhat of a waste.
15. Remember that I'm in school for knowledge, not college acceptance
16. Run through another cycle of despair-platitude dialectics

<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>
