<p>I'm inclined to agree with dragon-</p>
<p>The decision carried different significance for everyone. For some, it was a whatever-I-got-into-Harvard-already-and-was-planning-to-go-there-anyways, but for others (like a good friend of mine last year) it was dream beyond dream school. Sure, say what you want about people who fall in love with a particular institution but attachment of any sort is hard to just "get over". </p>
<p>I'm not saying it's constructive to morph into a puddle on the bathroom floor, but I am saying that grieving a day (or two) after the fact, if the decision was a negative but significant one, is perfectly ok. But if you take it to extremes and make yourself look like a fool, I will yell at you.</p>
