<p>I have an NHS meeting that day so I probably won't get home until 3:30 depending on how long the meeting lasts. Between then and 5:00, I'll be eating a carton or two of my favorite ice cream while watching the first season of Pushing Daisies. My parents will not be home at the time so I will be checking my decision alone. I only plan on telling my family and close friends. I'll just wait and see how long it takes for the news to spread.</p>
<p>I am actually thinking about creating some sort of pre-decisions event with my friends. We'll all go out and be happy for a few hours and then retreat to our homes to learn of certain life-changing decisions ...</p>
<p>I don't have an extracurricular that day, interestingly enough, so it's either that or going directly home, which is kind of unpleasant considering I would have to pace around my house for quite some time. Perhaps I will do homework. Watch a movie. Listen to music. Work on my applications for other schools...</p>
<p>I'm definitely going to skip Jazz Band practice that day and log onto my Eli account every minute starting at 4:30. I'll turn it into a prank though, if I didn't get in I'll pretend to be pumped and tell my family to check and if I do get in I'll pretend to be bummed and see how long it takes them to figure it out.</p>
<p>But more than likely I'll be trying my hardest to pretend like I'm happy when I get deferred/rejected. I don't know which one would be worse honestly.</p>
<p>I have exams that day, then I will go home and read for a while then study for exams then play some vid games till 4pm and then go crazy.</p>
<p>If I applied early I'd take a three hour nap. Wake up. Eat. Realize that the admissions results are in. Check. Shrug, do homework for an hour. Shower, and teeth, then get back to sleep.</p>
<p>I'm so much more high strung than all of you XD</p>
<p>^^ I realized now that I will probably be sleeping through the results. Because that is what I do every afternoon around 5.</p>
<p>get home from track a little after 5, check.</p>
<p>and it will definitely be private. if my parents tried to look over my shoulder, i wouldn't log on until they went away lol. maybe this sounds stubborn or self-centered but i want to be the first to find out - even if it means i have to wait until i get home after 5.</p>
<p>i have ski practice from 2-5 and then baseball practice from 5-8. i'll prly get hit in the face a few times as a result of my lack of concentration on baseball. **** me</p>
<p>A couple of other friends who applied to schools EA or ED (Bowdoin, Stanford, MIT, and Caltech) and I are having a "Rejection Party."</p>
<p>The only rule? If you get in to the college you applied to, you are officially kicked out of the party.</p>
<p>Guacamolly, that is freaking awesome.
Are you having the party before, then, so you'll know who to kick out?</p>
<p>My friends are officially getting together over food and pre-rejection/deferral partying. It'll be "epic."</p>
<p>I'll spend the entire day telling myself that I don't really care and that I'll be happy anywhere (which is partially true i guess). Then I'll get home around 5:30 from working out after school and i'll look to see if I got in. If i'm in, i'll probably sit there stunned for about 10 minutes before showering, eating, and starting my work. When I don't get in, however, I'll probably quickly shut the browser and pretend I didn't read anything until i get calls from friends or my parents ask. Then the real depression will set in and I'll have to face the facts. No matter what, this day will have more drama than MTV could ever hope to muster up in one episode of The Hills.</p>
<p>i cant even wait till i get home from basketball practice. ill check on my phone and
my dad will literally have to drive me home, because whatever decision i get, i will be a potential danger driving home on the road.</p>
<p>rejected/deferred- swerve off into a ditch
accepted- just STOP driving, literally</p>
<p>Either way, other drivers are screwed</p>
<p>^^ LOL at the above poster. Yes, please stay out of the roads :D </p>
<p>I changed my mind -- I think I'll take some Nyquil even though I'm not sick and just sleep it off from 2:30 to 6:00 ish. Then I might crawl to the computer to check, and even if I'm deferred/rejected, I'd be too sleepy and dazed to care ;_; yay for over-the-counter drugs as an answer! (sarcasm intended)</p>
<p>you guys are all silly.</p>
<p>i'm going to check my yale decision.
duh.</p>
<p>ooh, limetime good idea. i'll probably end up skipping the second half of school and procuring an ambien from my vulnerable and mentally ill best friend...hahahahahaha i love being manipulative.</p>
<p>I want to drop acid and check my decision. I think it would be productive to get rejected and hallucinate giant rejection demons ripping my soul to pieces for 13 hours afterwards. At least it would be hilarious.</p>
<p>i will cry if i get deferred or rejected (plz, my toefl score hasnt even reached Yale and my SATs r crap, 600 ish) </p>
<p>erm, if i get accepted << dunt think thats possible. </p>
<p>so im actually prepared even though i know myself i will be crying. :(</p>
<p>My friends and I were thinking of skipping school to driving off the Pella, Iowa (yes, I live in Iowa...) and look at some frozen flowers for the day without any outside communication - no phones, no laptops, no nothing - until we come back to Iowa City later on in the day to rush home...and CHECK!</p>
<p>Hmm..But come 4:00 I'm thinking I'll either
1. frantically try to log in with my incurably slow computer, get the "page will not load" page a couple of times, remember to turn my speakers on, finally log in, and hear silence. And then commence crying and collapse on the floor.</p>
<ol>
<li>frantically try to log in with my incurably slow computer, get the "loading time exceeded" page a few times, turn my speakers on, LOG IN, hear MUSIC. And then commence crying and collapse on the floor.</li>
</ol>
