<li>Um…I’m not that freaked out (plus I expect rejection, which I don’t want on display, lawlz).</li>
<li>No–musical preference will be determined by the decisions.</li>
<li>Computer…though I was checking on my phone earlier today (and another time earlier than that).</li>
<li>Well, the only other people near me are my two little brothers, and neither of them give a crap at all, hahaha. I’ll have to look myself.</li>
<li>Ill check as soon as I finish this.</li>
<li>One-by-one</li>
<li>I was horribly pessimistic last week, but now I’m little more than excitedly curious.</li>
</ol>

<p>What will your reaction be if you are:
8. ACCEPTED: I would be so happy, but soooo confused.
9. WAITLISTED: …Ok, now what?
10. REJECTED: I think will be bummed that my current Acceptance High is crushed, but the happiness I feel right now over getting into a certain school might just trump any feelings of inadequacy.</p>

<p>I haven’t looked yet…and I feel absurdly comfortable right now, minutes after Ivy decisions went up. Last week I felt worthless because I knew I wasn’t getting in (which is sooo pathetic), but I’m not worried anymore.</p>

<p>Thanks for the poll; this was fun and calming.</p>

<p>Kind of late, but anyways…

  1. Being alone or with friend/family for support? My mom was there
  2. Listening to song or not? nope
  3. Checking your phone or the computer? went on facebook while the decisions page was loading =P
  4. Getting someone else to look at the decision before you do because you’re scared… or not? Nah… I was able to handle it. =)
  5. Finding out right at 5pm or waiting until later? 5 PM
  6. Checking all your schools’ decisions at once or one-by-one? One by one… one after the other after the other… after the other.
  7. Optimistic or pessimistic? Or neutral? Realistic. Which basically means pessimistic. =P</p>

<p>Well, I already know my decision (rejected), but I was 100% expecting it.</p>
