<p>Found this on the Harvard board..thought it was kinda fun:

<p>Accepted</p>

done better on the SATs...</p>
<p>Whether You are Going to Status Check Online (email)
email of course</p>
<p>and.... What will you do if you are...</p>
<p>Accepted - tell people i got rejected and a couple of days later start wearing princeton sweatshirts to school.</p>
<p>Waitlisted - be glad to have made it this far.</p>
<p>Rejected - i didnt have a chance in the beginning. just applied to have no regrets.</p>
<p>"Accepted - tell people i got rejected and a couple of days later start wearing princeton sweatshirts to school."</p>
<p>hahaha nice... if all goes well, i may be unoriginal and do that too!</p>
<p>I wish that I had tried harder in school (eg: doing my homework and actually studying) and I would have prepared for the SATs.</p>
<p>I will check online.</p>
<p>Accepted- I'd be happy but not ecstatic. It would be very very cool though.</p>
<p>Waitlisted- Try to make a deal with the admission department to accept me the following year</p>
<p>Rejected- take a year off, train hard, compete on the windsurfing world tour, and re-apply in 2008.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Sent in my supplement earlier</p></li>
<li><p>Online</p></li>
<li><p>Accept: Go crazy. Wear Pton stuff to school everyday.</p></li>
<li><p>Waitlist: Laugh</p></li>
<li><p>Reject: Big tear, and will probably apply again next year</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I wish I had...
Higher SAT I's</p>
<p>I WILL be checking online. I will be sitting on my computer, hitting refresh until its there :).</p>
<p>Accepted- Dye hair orange, wear black shirt and orange shorts. Run 1 lap through the halls before school singing "I will survive" as loud as i can, occasionally screaming that i love my life. you think im kidding? you think im trying to be funny? im serious b$tches.</p>
<p>Waitlisted- Polite rejection. the number of students admitted from the waitlist last year was 0.</p>
<p>Rejected- Mixture of distraction, sleep, and food. I will go rent a bunch of movies, get some really good food, and think about where I DID get accepted. Then, when the going gets rough, I'll just try to sleep through it.</p>
<p>"i didnt have a chance in the beginning. just applied to have no regrets"</p>
<p>you have a classic case of denial my friend. Somewhere along the line, we all develope an irrational notion that we have a decent chance, even though we don't. I'll probably be seeing you on the college confidential rehab forums..."Hello my name is Backfire, and it has been three days since my last rejection" :)</p>
<p>One thing that you wish you had Done: Done better on SAT's, EC's</p>
<p>Whether You are Going to Status Check Online: Online of course</p>
<p>and.... What will you do if you are...</p>
<p>Accepted: Call everyone I know. Post states in RD Decisions thread ;) .Decide if that's where I'm going. If it is, buy a princeton hoodie :)</p>
<p>Waitlisted: Accept a spot in the list</p>
<p>Rejected: Move on. Start considering my other options.</p>
<p>Online...</p>
<p>Accepted: I'll be happy.</p>
<p>Waitlisted: I'll count it as a rejection.</p>
<p>Rejected: I'll post my rejection letter on my wall - probably framed. (No joke)</p>
<p>Online? Yes</p>
<p>Accepted-Probably faint and then skip school for 3 days in pure joy</p>
<p>Waitlisted-I'll consider it done</p>
<p>Rejected-Oh well, it's Princeton.</p>

Online of COURSE</p>

and.... What will you do if you are...</p>
<p>Accepted

I'd be so amazingly happy and relieved. I don't even know what I'd do lol. If by some weird fluke I got into another one of my choices--Yale, Stanford, or Harvard--then I would have the most difficult, fun decision of my life (thankfully, that isn't gonna happen :))</p>
<p>

Waitlisted
Rejected
[/quote]
My reaction will depend on whether I get into Yale, Stanford, or Harvard. Meaning I will probably end up depressed as hell lol</p>
<p>One thing that you wish you had done - Figured out good study habits earlier to get better grades</p>
<p>Whether You are Going to Status Check Online (email)- YES</p>
<p>Accepted- I'll be very surprised and happy.</p>
<p>Waitlisted- I've been waitlisted for other things before. Probably call them and ask.</p>
<p>Rejected- Hopefully if this happens I'll have gotten into somewhere else I really want to go to also.</p>
<p>so people actually buy P t-shirts and that stuff?.. can't believe it!..</p>
<p>Better: I don't know of much I could have done differently (maybe done a little more my Freshman and Sophomore years)</p>
<p>Online: yes</p>
<p>Accepted: Call a bunch of people and quit worrying about getting in anywhere else</p>
<p>Waitlisted: Be proud that I wasn't outright rejected (because at least my application was strong), but ultimately be disappointed</p>
<p>Rejected: Go get a movie to recover from my disappointment.</p>
<p>I wish I'd worked harder on my supplemental essays.</p>
<p>I'll check online, of course.</p>
<p>If I'm accepted, I'll be shocked and ecstatic, update CC and LiveJournal, and probably go out to dinner with my family to celebrate. I like zerocool's idea about orange hairdye, but I think my</a> hair is too long for that. :p</p>
<p>If I'm waitlisted I'll be sad but take comfort in the fact that they at least thought I was worth considering.</p>
<p>If (when) I'm rejected, I'll make tea, watch Scrubs, feel sorry for myself, go to sleep, and maybe cry a little. After that I'll be fine, just a little disappointed.</p>
<p>"i didnt have a chance in the beginning. just applied to have no regrets"</p>
<p>you have a classic case of denial my friend. Somewhere along the line, we all develope an irrational notion that we have a decent chance, even though we don't. I'll probably be seeing you on the college confidential rehab forums..."Hello my name is Backfire, and it has been three days since my last rejection" </p>
<p>lol. me in rehab. frankly, i know that life will turn out right in the end so i dont take these trivial things so seriously.</p>
<p>One Thing I Would Have Done Differently:
I wish I had spent more time on my application and not submitted it 48 seconds before it was due (I submitted at 10:58:12 P.M. on January 1 CST, which was 11:58:12 P.M. EST, and it was due 11:59:00 P.M. EST). Also, I wish just generally that I had worked harder.</p>
<p>I'll check online. I'll be freaking out, but I'll check online.</p>
<p>If I am...
ACCEPTED: I will be so astoundingly happy that I won't even be able to control myself. I'll probably call all of my best friends and throw a huge random Thursday-night party.
WAITLISTED: I'll see it as...the end.
REJECTED: I'll be upset for a day or two, but then I have a list of amazing places where I got in that will probably be a lot more...lax, shall we say, than life at Princeton might be. And I'm honestly already really excited about attending one of the 6 other places I've gotten in so far (I still haven't heard from 5) and so...after some ice cream and perhaps a Grey's Anatomy marathon and perhaps some..."blowing off steam," I'll be OK.</p>
<p>This sounds kinda weird, but I wish I had spent less time stressing about apps and more time enjoying the first half of senior year. Everything will work out eventually, whether I get in or not....</p>
<p>I don't think I have the willpower to wait for a letter, so F5 it is.</p>
<p>Accepted: It'll probably take a while to sink in.... Then I'll run and hug my mom before trying to figure out where I want to go.</p>
<p>Waitlisted: At least they though enough of me to hand me a 'polite rejection'. I probably would not join the list, just smile and move on.</p>
<p>Rejected: Preceding decisions are positive: Things will work out; it was a crapshoot anyways.
Preceding results are negative: Well, I suppose I never had a chance anywhere. A pity party complete with Ben and Jerry's.</p>
<p>One thing that you wish you had Done...</p>
<p>Applied ED</p>
<p>Whether You are Going to Status Check Online (email) - Yeah!</p>
<p>and.... What will you do if you are...</p>
<p>Accepted - breathe a sigh of relief and then tell my parents I'm in for sure</p>
<p>Waitlisted - cry and call the coach</p>
<p>Rejected - the same as waitlisting.</p>
<p>I have 5 decisions on the 29th supposedly. I will check them. Call people and tell them I got in. Go to my track workout right after and be absolutely giddy or ****ed off. If I get in I will dress up all out the next day, and when someone asks I why I'm dressed up, I will say "Because I'm an Ivy man now." or "Cause I'm going to Princeton." lol. I feel like I will get rejected now cause I said that, just out of spite. That would pretty much make my 4 years of high school. If I get rejected everywhere, I will probably take Friday off and take up cutting (jk) but seriously it will take a week to get over it, but I am seeing Ben Folds from the 3rd row a week later and will have that to look forward to.</p>
