<p>I would...start the appeals process and proceed with my backup plans. There are too many better things to do than gloat over disappointment.</p>
<p>I'd act really angry/depressed for a couple days, and my parents would try to make me feel better which would make me even more angry/depressed. I'm making sure I really do like my safety schools though, so I'd get over it.</p>
<p>well since im not applying to one of the top 3 schools...i wont be very surprised.</p>
<p>no the OP means if you're not accepted into any of your top 3 choices.</p>
<p>my friends and i already have plans if this happens. get together and have a bonfire so that we can burn the rejection letters. then probably party all night. kind of like a joint "congrats to all ya'll who got accepted and screw all the schools that rejected the rest of us" party</p>
<p>Killing yourself is the only option. Good thing I got in every place.</p>
<p>o...then ill save a lot of money</p>
<p>.....sleep</p>

<p>Stare at the letter in disbelief. Plop on my bed. Cry. Cry. Cry x infinity. Kill myself.</p>
<p>Insist over and over that the school does not deserve ME!</p>
<p>mostly just get really nervous about the other 2. I'd be happy with any of my top 5 though.</p>
<p>i would be happy at like 8 of my 11 schools :)</p>
<p>Get 2 lbs. of wings from this place I know and eat alone in my room until I throw up</p>
<p>Emotional eating isn't a good thing, but if I got accepted, I'd eat a couple slices of Nutella on white bread (haven't had either in months) and go party. If I did not get accepted, I'd lose my appetite and would just be completely disappointed. I would probably go party anyway to take my mind off things.</p>
<p>I'd sigh, shrug it off, and reassure myself that I still have lots of choices. I'll be down for a while, but I'd try my best to keep things in perspective...sniff.</p>
<p>If I didn't get into NYU or Syracuse I'd seriously not speak for the entire day and go to sleep and not care about school for the rest of the year. I'd just go to my safety and hopefully transfer.</p>
<p>id get realy angry and upset(on the inside).. but on the outside i would act like i didnt care and make horribly sarcastic jokes...but if someone tried to sympathize with me, and said something that told me that they actually knew how i felt, i would definitely break down and cry...</p>
<p>Ha! Ha!
I like your response WashDad!
