Oh wow.

<p>I checked the mail yesterday, and found a small envelope from Johns Hopkins. For a second my heart stopped and I thought... oh god they denied me early! I was that bad! (although I'm not really :-p) </p>

<p>Turns out it was just a thank you for visiting and an invitation to apply. Jeez though, hope that's the last little letter I ever see from them.</p>

<p>Anybody else get the same thrill?</p>

<p>Oh wow, that would have scared me to death...</p>

<p>It happened to me too! I got home from school and saw a letter from Johns Hopkins. I freaked out but later opened it to find that it was only a brochure from the school and not a decision letter from the admissions committee.</p>

<p>That happened to me, I walked in the house after school and my mom had this huge envelop and she was jumping around and all happy thinking I had gotten in. It turns out it was just a very large viewbook and that kind of stuff.</p>

<p>tricky, tricky admissions officers trying to psych us out :-p</p>

<p>Eh, kinda similar. Might as well post here, as the people reading this thread are the only people who might appreciate it. </p>

<p>I was skimming my inbox and saw this " <a href="http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/5333/picture2gi5.png%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/5333/picture2gi5.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>..." </p>

<p>Had to do a double take!</p>

<p>(It's not Johns H...opkins)</p>

<p>probably would've gotten me to skip a beat, too. i don't blame you adam.</p>

<p>Haha I didn't skip a beat per se, I didn't really think anything beyond, "***"</p>

<p>But, retrospectively, some form of good admissions info would have been a great first night gift!</p>

<p>Also, since when is "double-yu tea ef" considered bad internet lingo... I thought it's appropriate and that's the point of it. </p>

<p>And, note to mods etc, please don't take this post as a means to bypass your filters, I respect your right to do so, and I'm fine with it, it's just it totally made me think, "***"</p>

<p>hahah nice quip.</p>

<p>apparently CC is anti-profane acronym, as if w-t-f is crude at all. but yeah, i'd say that acceptance would be a solid gift. better than a gift card or a book :-p</p>
