The First Thing I am Gonna Do If

<p>I made sure there isnt already a thread about this…and there isnt…so.</p>

<p>a) The first thing you’re gonna do if you get accepted (after you jump for joy, cry happy tears, and laugh at your younger sibling who said you wouldnt get in)
b) The first thing you’re gonna do to try to make yourself feel better if you get rejected </p>

<hr>

<p>a) Put on my Wharton LBW sweatshirt and take 10 friends to see King Kong
b) Burn all the penn clothing I accumulated while my brother attended</p>

<p>a) not gonna happen. if it does, I'm gonna buy a penn shirt and take ten friends to see KK
b) be depressed, but i expected this, so I'll move on</p>

<p>a) this is an impossible scenario. whenever i imagine it happening, all i can see is me bursting into tears. sooo yea. no matter what, i will be unstable and most likely eat an unreasonable amount of celebratory food.
b) well, it would not be a surprise. i would try to figure out how to attend ap euro with the boy i've been discussing penn ED with all semester since he most likely will get in. after that, i will eat a large amount of uncelebratory food.</p>

<p>either way, i'll be gaining some weight. pre-freshman 15 here i come.</p>

<p>a) cry
b) cry</p>

<p>but also...</p>

<p>a) IF, and i capitalize "if" because there's such a low chance for me to get into penn, but IF i do get accepted, i will help everyone of you RD studs and then with my friend (who im sure is getting accepted into Columbia cuz she's a friggin genious) to go watch THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA!!!! yeah that's right! it comes out soon. i will also spend the same amount of money that i would have spend on the RD apllications into using that money to buy xmas presents!
b) otherwise i will do what ilovelamp will do, and that is somehow find away to avoid all those who applied ED to penn. :(</p>

<p>If accepted: I would Jump up and down, run around my house, throw my acceptance party for my friends and then by the teachers that wrote reccs for me awesome gifts.</p>

<p>If Denied/Deferred: I would cry,beat the person nearest me, cry in my bed over winter break, fail my final exams, do my RD apps and always think what could have been</p>

<p>also, if i don't get in, i'll start filling out the transfer application</p>

<p>a) I will write letters to all those people who have helped me to get into Penn. </p>

<p>b) Just think it wasn't meant for me and work arduously on other apps.</p>

<p>a) do everything cited above and then get to breeze through my finals which are immediately following D-Day</p>

<p>b) cram for finals, express mail recs which I haven't sent, and sweat out winter break writing essays I should have started earilier</p>

<p>a) unimaginable joy and relief, probably be speechless
b) feel like giving up as i attempt to do rd apps</p>

<p>a) fly over to aston, pa.. give deitz a hug.. take a shot.. visit penn.. give ben franklin a hug.. nookie under the button.. fly down to fl and visit 26e and hummel.. then drive up the eastern seaboard to spread the love to other penn people.. west coast people = no love.. haha just kiddin i guess.. i dont have the money to visit you and the midwesterners.. you can come visit me though..</p>

<p>b) fly to aston, pa.. get some counseling from deitz.. visit penn.. shed a couple tears.. nookie under the button.. fly to florida.. get some more counseling.. up the eastern seaboard.. and then RD apps... wicked depressing aint it..</p>

<p>dam, i'm flyin up, we can get a whole party roaring at deitz's house. i've seen it myself: ivy students get away with liqour-related police trouble! fo sho.</p>

<p>not that this matters, though</p>

<p>cuz i won't get in</p>

<p>I hope us Floridians make it in, we can show those new englanders how to party...</p>

<p>excuse me??..ill teach you a lesson or two</p>

<p>Sounds like a challenge jhum :)</p>

<p>a) Tell everyone and go out with my friends- we're on vacation already so party party party!!! ;)</p>

<p>b) Go buy a huge chocolate ice cream dessert and lament my fate with my friends too.... (they already know either way we're going out on Dec 14!! LOL)</p>

<p>Freaked out and lishnik: When we get to Penn, we'll see.....</p>

<p>haha.. floridians can party? that was singlehandedly the best joke ive ever heard in my life.. thank you you just made my day</p>

<p>alrite, dw, I take that as a super challenge, like I said, when we get to Penn (knock on wood) we'll see....</p>

<p>wow if they took all of us.. penn2ten would be wicked p.issa .. or just wicked inebriated.. i dunno really..</p>

<p>and just a question.. do people over there on the west coast actually say hella?</p>

<p>a) not go to school the next day, go to the bookstore and support the hell out of penn (and get a pat and gino's cheesesteak)</p>

<p>b) meh what can i do... if this happened, i'm probably already rejected from mit as well... so start crackin on other apps...</p>
