<p>I try my best not to think about it (but then again look at me reading these threads on CC. agh.).
It’d be FRICKEN. SWEETER. THAN. PEANUTS. FRICKEN. if I got in, but 7.9% acceptance is nothing to get your hopes up about.</p>
<p>lol Diivio you’re going to get more than accurate answers when that day actually comes. :P</p>
<p>Otto von Bismark was definitely awesome, but I was a fan of anything at all Prussian during AP Euro. My heritage is Prussian.</p>
<p>If I found out I was accepted, I would probably read the email in shock, get up, walk around, come back, read it again, get up again, go get a drink, come back, and continue to stare at it in shock. At some point the jitters and inward energy would overtake me and I’d have to go for a walk around the neighborhood.
I doubt my mind would recover the facilities to form cohesive thoughts until a few hours later…
Then I would daydreaming about the future!! And, of course, check back on CC to see what’s happening with everyone else.</p>
<p>If I get in, I will laugh like a madman, text my friends to tell them, update my Facebook status to say so, then go back to class and tell everyone around me. None of this for the sake of bragging, but because I have trouble containing good news. :P</p>
<p>Haha I’m the opposite, I take forever to spread news about myself. I’d probably forward the email to my counselor so she’d know, and tell my family, but I doubt I’d say anything to my classmates unless they bring it up. I’ll definitely tell my Calc teacher though, cause I’m the only one in the class and we chat about everything!</p>
<p>Hah; when the email comes for me, I’m just going to hole myself up in my bedroom, ask my parents to read it and then make them break the news</p>
<p>Since everyone is sort of talking about it,</p>
<p>New topic: What i will do if i find out im accepted pledges…</p>
<p>-im going to burn “OMG IM GOING TO STANFORD” into the lawn of the elementary school I live next to in letters large enough to be read from space.</p>
<p>^ lol</p>
<p>& sfg2014, I thought that score reporting was just for getting your own personal scores and not having them sent to a school? I’m pretty sure you just self-report APs. Did you hear otherwise?</p>
<p>Nitro Hawks’ “what I’ll do” is nice, but I guess I would take a less CO2 emitting approach to make what I do more green friendly lol. I think I would actually have the guts to ask this girl at my school out and knowing me if she asked why I asked her out I would say “I got into Stanford and that boosted my confidence”. She’d prolly get mad pour her drink on my head, but I’d still be happy.</p>
<p>tkdkid: Yeah you just self report and you send them your scores if you are accepted and plan on going there, but you can actually report them to if you want, although it’s a waste of money if you get rejected.</p>
<p>I never heard that I had to report them officially, but I did anyway. If you call the phone number on that page, it allows you to report scores to any college. I believe Stanford’s code is 4704. You probably don’t have to do it, but I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Anyway, if I was accepted, I would probably be freaking out for a few minutes, then would eventually calm down. At school, I’d probably just tell everyone because I wouldn’t be able to control myself.</p>
<p>On a different note…</p>
<p>…you know what I’m wishing for on 11/11/11 at 11:11… :)</p>
<p>LOL your admittance letter will have been sent 2 years before that</p>
<p>Alright, so lets turn the question around: how will you react if you receive a rejection letter?</p>
<p>Personally, I’ll probably glance at the first few words, see “regret to inform you…” and close it. My heart will probably sink a little and then I’ll brush it off with a “well, I figured that would happen,” and go do something else. I’ll likely look at my remaining college list and aggressively start focusing on those. I’ll try not to think about Stanford again, though I imagine the disappointment would set in a lot more once a few weeks have passed. Still, I’ll definitely try to focus on the positive, and realize it just meant I’m probably better fit in a different environment!</p>
<p>I completely agree with Prussia! that’s probably how I would react too, but I guess I’ll find out for sure when the day comes…</p>
<p>so i decided to look through the stanford course catalog. DUDE
They teach zulu?! That would be so fun to learn. god its gonna suck when i get that rejection letter</p>
<p>If I got rejected… I would sigh, text my friends to tell them, update my Facebook status to say so, then go back to class and yell it to the room as a whole. I don’t mind talking about bad news, but I HATE people asking me about it, so I’d want everyone to know before I saw them.</p>
<p>haaaa ooooops</p>
<p>I meant 11/11 not 11/11/11, I got a little too excited with those 11s</p>
<p>& I don’t think I want to think about rejection until it actually happens…too depressing…</p>
<p>I would cry. Not going to lie, that would be a shattered dream.</p>
<p>Then continue to work on my apps to the other ivys I’m applying to, understand that rejection can make you a stronger person, and work harder next time.</p>
<p>Crying is totally understandable, I know I’ll succumb to it at some point in the post-rejection weeks before I can move on :****(</p>
<p>I would probably take one of my broken drum sticks (i have a box full of them) throw it as far as i can out of my back yard and then take a deep breath and then move on with my life.</p>
