<p>When you got into your 1st choice or a really huge reach, what were the first few things you did (actions and emotions)?</p>
<p>oh well I haven’t received any decision yet. But if I got into my first choice I would definitely scream! Yea…SCREAM!lol</p>
<p>I’ve screamed when I got into my safeties, so I’ll probably freak out and scream a lot. =)</p>
<p>Probably run around and jump in the air a few times, all while incessantly screaming “YES YES YES YES!!!”</p>
<p>I’d calm down after a while.</p>
<p>I will take my pants off, take a book, smack my balls right between my legs real hard, SCREAM, and check if im dreaming.</p>
<p>Getting ED into Cornell involved me running around the house, screaming in shock, jumping up and down and calling all my friends.</p>
<p>ily sixfoottall! XD</p>
<p>My top two choices were reaches. When my 2nd choice accepted me, I was really excited obviously. For some reason (not based in reality), it just calmed me down tremendously and I felt that my top choice reach school was definitely going to accept me. It did so my celebration wasn’t as extreme when I found out my 1st choice school excepted me. Weird but that’s what happened.</p>
<p>If i get into my first choice Im going to for sure cry, then scream, then post an obnoxious (all capitals, of course) status about it on my facebook, and then i will probably take the next day or 2 off of school because i will still be in so much shock.</p>
<p>Disbelief–at first, I thought it must be some coding error. They’d sent me to the wrong link. (This was Chicago, and they’d been having website problems in general, so that wasn’t as crazy a conclusion as would have been otherwise. <em>g</em>) I was sure it was a mistake until I logged back in and was taken to the “Congratulations!” page, which took about, oh, fifteen minutes?</p>
<p>Screaming followed. The first person to hear was a friend of mine (also a Chicago EA applicant–we were commiserating about the broken website on FB), and then my little brother, and then I went downstairs to call my mom. I’m pretty sure I was shaking the entire time.</p>
<p>It took me a couple hours to actually begin to believe it, and I don’t think I really stopped waiting for someone to come take it back until I got my admissions package in the mail.</p>
<p>I. Absolutely. FREAKEEEED.</p>
<p>I couldn’t scream, because I was in a public library, but I was sitting on the ground at the time and I remember spazzing and making the bookshelf behind me shake, like, a LOT 
I’m pretty sure my heart rate accelerated by at least 50 bpms… it was surreal.</p>
<p>Weeks later, it’s STILL surreal. 0.o</p>
<p>For those of you who haven’t gotten in yet: don’t do this, don’t overestimate yourselves.</p>
<p>Easily the best moment in my life thus far. I remember shouting to my mom and she ran over to the computer and we hugged and she cried a little. It’s been months and it’s still surreal…</p>
