<p>I’m almost positive that I’m going to get rejected, so to make it easier on myself if and when I do, I’m picturing me holding the letter in hands. In fact, I’m alredy “celebrating” the rejection by eating copious amounts of chocolate. Sure, I haven’t actually gotten rejected yet, but I figure I might as well get a head start. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with being proactive, right?</p>
<p>i like how you ordered applying to CUNY after becoming emo.</p>
<p>hehe… thanks.</p>
<p>I actually went to the grocery store this weekend and bought a tube of cookie dough and wrote “Open only incase of NYU rejection” on the side of the tube.</p>
<p>^haha at the cookie dough thing. </p>
<p>I’m buying The Dark Knight today to watch to console me if and when I rejected.</p>
<p>cry, eat a tub of extra-creamy chocolate crackle ice cream, miss school for the rest of the week, and then possibly make an attempt to live off the land for a few weeks to find myself again.</p>
<p>decided to be proactive</p>

</ul>
<p>wow… thats one hell of a list</p>
<p>adamsbomb if you were a guy i’d marry you in a heartbeat ahaha
that was the best list ever</p>
<p>new rejection idea: get over my sorrow by laying on a beach in brazil for six months. oh wait, already doing that :D</p>
<p>the list was a trick our counselor told us to do at the beginning of the year to keep us grounded and not obsessive. Kinda helps, kinda doesn’t depending on how badly you wanted to get in.</p>
<p>get a note from the doctor and skip school the entire week.</p>
<p>thats all.</p>
<p>I applied RD, but I understand what you’re going through since I applied to a different school ED (I don’t find out until mid-January…UGH). I check my mailbox every day in case they decide to send them early. If I don’t get in I’ll shut myself in my room for a month and cut a slit in my door so my parents can give me food. But if I do get rejected, there’s always NYU rejection to look forward to in April!</p>
<p>I applied to this school in August, I’m sick of waiting.</p>
<p>Alright… new rejection plan… I will just go to Michigan and be happy.</p>
<p>HAH. i didn’t even get a response back from michigan and i applied in october… <em>mumbles</em></p>
<p>You posters are so cute and obviously very talented and creative. I have enjoyed reading your posts and am so sorry for your angst. I am suffering the angst for my son who is calmly waiting - unlike his mother.</p>
<p>Right there with you HopefulNYUParent…my daughter is doing her best to stay calm…my heart is racing. The next few days until Monday are going to be awful until we here…we…I mean she…LOL</p>
<p>haha, it’s okay you two.
my mother is in tears almost as often as I am.</p>
<p>I’m haunting this board. I think I need a tube of cookie dough too. I think I’ll eat it EITHER WAY.</p>
<p>I’m going to be in crazy tears when I hear, no matter what the result. </p>
<p>i do hope that my 5 years of pathetic obsession will pay off. :-)</p>
<p>Hannah… I applied to U of M august 7th, and I got in today, so dont expect anything soon. </p>
<p>Oh, and I am surprised that there are so many parents here. When I got in to U of M, which is my dad’s alma matter, he was like… um… ok, whatever. My parents don’t even want me to go to NYU. You are good parents for caring! (Just dont get an apartment a block away from them… helicopter parents are awkward… for lack of a better word)</p>
<p>hahaa, I didn’t apply to UofM, but thanks, good to know! :D</p>
