<p>I thought it was a joke...because the e-mail was so informal...like along the lines of "Are you excited? because you are now a Michigan Wolverine" hahah probably not like that...but I stared in disbelief -since I was deferred a month ago...and they said the earliest I would hear of a decision would be April, lol so December 16th was quick.</p>

<p>It took a couple of minutes of analyzing the e-mail and then signing onto Wolverine Access to verify before I ran to my mom who was mopping at the time, and told her! I was shaky and mom seemed proud and she gave me a hug. And I hugged my 16 year old sister too! haha, that's pretty rare.</p>

<p>Hee Hee!!!</p>

<p>Usually, I was able (using College Confidential) to track down when my acceptance letters would arrive. With my top choice, however, I wasn't. So I didn't even run to the mailbox like a normally did. But I did get the mail, saw a big envelope, saw Williams in the corner, and said OMG I GOT INTO WILLIAMS and tore it open. My mom and I were excited. She called like my whole town within 5 minutes.</p>

104

<p>my face just went really numb when i got off the WL to U of Michigan</p>

105

<p>I woke up, looked at the envelope hovering in front of my face, smiled, and went back to sleep.</p>

106

<p>LOL, it must have been your mom waving the envelope infront of you, xiao?</p>

107

<p>I actually got a personal phone call from my admissions counselor. She knew my Wolverine Access wouldn't be updated for a few days and didn't want me to have to wait any longer (clerical errors in my file had delayed my decision and I'd been waiting over 5 months). I thanked her probably 100 times (felt like an idiot afterwards LOL) and then hung up the phone. </p>

<p>I started bawling like a blubbering fool...15 years worth of pressure from wanting into University of Michigan was released in the period of 5 minutes. I was at my moms and she assumed someone died or something. Then I still checked online everyday until it updated (still thinking it wasn't real until it was confirmed).</p>

108

<p>I stomped some baked goods.</p>

109

<p>To FilAm_mom: Yup! :D
What a great alarm!</p>

110

<p>After stomping said baked goods, I fed them to the pigeons.</p>

111

<p>I pretty much hyperventilated and gasped and jumped up and down with joy and in public, if checking online, smiled like the biggest doofus....oh well : ) I have to say, each time I received an acceptance letter(6 total), I felt like I was on a high for at least two days, great experience : )</p>

112

<p>Did I mention I obliterated many loaves of baked goods?</p>

113

<p>how long do you wait to accept?</p>

114

<p>I screamed/yelled what the letter said! Then I ran to my mom's room out of breath and told her.</p>

<p>but her non excitment ruined it :-(</p>

115

<p>I accepted immediately. You don't wait when your first choice accepts you :p</p>

116

<p>I picked up the mail, opened it up, and saw my acceptance letter. I then put it back in, and went back to my life.</p>

117

<p>my admissions officer from the school hand-delivered the acceptance. so I was expecting it! lol, I did spend two days in complete panic over her coming though...</p>

<p>yet another difference with small LACs!</p>

<p>psssstttt…bump?</p>
