What was your reaction?

<p>What did you do when you received your acceptance letter?</p>

<p>I jumped around a lot and hugged my invitation a few times. Then, I e-mailed all of the people who helped me (recommendations, college counselors, drama teacher). I talked to my friends and basked in the happiness for a while. My parents and I did a happy dance.
What did you all do when you found out that you were accepted (early decision or regular decision)?</p>

<p>Did anyone cry? Did anyone actually hug the mailman (I've never seen mine, so that's pretty hard to believe)?</p>

<p>Well, I was put into LSP. So when I read the email (I'm international), I was just stunned for a few seconds. Then, I called my dad. (I was in school)</p>

<p>I wish I had one of those happy dances and jumps...</p>

<p>Sadly, I have to admit I was a "crier". I opened the letter and had to read it a few times before I actually realized what it said, I was so shocked. I then ran through all of the rooms in my house screaming in a pitch I didn't know I could hit, until i found my family showed them the letter and then proceeded to cry....it was very strange, I am not usually that emotional</p>

<p>I had a sense of elation for a few minutes, then went back to normal. Expected to get in to Stern :P</p>

<p>Was still shell shocked from MIT's rejection earlier today. Still put a smile on my face and happy to get in =D</p>

<p>Awww umopap!sdn, at least you got some good news!
Silverlining182, I wanted to cry, but I was too excited.</p>

<p>i wasn't as excited as i thought i would be :[ hopefully it'll change as the day goes by. im just relieved .. i don't care about any other college acceptances now! lol</p>

<p>I started crying, and then i did a happy dance and then I celebrated with a rum cake. But, I got in ED, so this was a while ago.</p>

<p>My Gmail notifier popped on a thursday noon saying something like ''New Message from NYU admissions: Congratulations! we are very pleased...''. My instant reaction was to blush and it was followed by 33 quiet 'omg' said to myself. I think i passed out in the bathroom after that lol. ED for me aswell.</p>

<p>i just got my invitation today!!! i'm so happy!</p>

<p>i kept reading the invitation over and over again. i thought i was dreaming or something or i misread it. but after reading it over like 10 times, i told myself it was real. and then i jumped around and started yelling "IM GOING TO NYU IM GOING TO NYU IM GOING TO NYU!! and i texted few of my closest friends who have supported me this WHOLE time when i was freaking nervous. now i seriously feel like im about to cry.</p>

<p>I also got in today with an invitation from Tisch. I seriously looked like this --> O_O, and was thinking "How in the world did I even managed to get in?!". I had to reread the letter (to myself and out loud) more than twice just to make sure my mind was screwing with me, lol. I'm just glad that I finally got in somewhere!</p>

<p>at school i had gotten a text from my mom saying "there is mail for you." so i ran home when i got out (actually sped in my car) and saw the little envelope on my kitchen table that said, "Congratulations, join us!" so i jumped into my mom's arms and screamed "OH MY GOD I GOT IN!!!" then she was like.... well open it! so i did and i was like. omg omg omg omg. but i had to rush off to dance lessons. but i called my entire phonebook on my way and was going crazy. and i still can't believe it actually happened. i'm afraid i'm gonna wake up tomorrow to find out it was a dream. but... what a great day!!!</p>

<p>I got the mail and saw something from NYU and expected it to be some financial aid or missing item thing until I saw the "Join Us" on the front. I still couldn't believe it until I opened it and read it. I didn't expect Stern to send anything until April 1st. I'm surprised how excited I was considering I'm not sure if I'll even attend. I guess I'm glad that I got into that good of a school. Either way, it was a great 18th birthday present.</p>

<p>I still can't believe it. I hugged my letter. I kissed it too. What a great day it was. I'm really happy I found out while I was at school (my dad told me it was in the mail). So, I got to tell all of my friends and the teachers who had supported me.</p>

<p>as soon as i got into my garage, my mom was standing out the door and she was like "i'm sorry..." so i was thinking oh gosh i got rejected from somewhere. and she was like "nyu sent you a letter and it says i'm sorry." i was seriously about to start crying even though i expected it. but then when i went in the house, my mom gave me the letter and it said congratulations on it. i was like "agh i dont like you mom!"</p>

<p>I got the invitational letter too. My exact reaction went like this:
"Great...another 'this college is awesome' brochure. Wait. 'congratulations?' what the eff?"
Then, I attacked the envelop with a full blow delievering max damaging effects and yeah. There it was. I wasn't even expecting to get in...so yeah this is quite a surprise</p>

<p>When I came home, my dad handed me a (opened) package and I read the letter about 2x. Then I got HELLA ****ed at my dad for opening my (first) acceptance letter and threw a tantrum. THENNNNNN I guess he felt bad but he was like "SORRY I couldn't help it I was excited!" I forgave him, then my mom, my dad, and I went out to sushi. (; I was really happy since NYU was my dream school since freshman year, although that changed the beginning of this year. Now I'm not so sure I want to go anymore.</p>

<p>I saw the package and proceeded to rip it open as quickly as possible. I read the first sentence and screamed "MOM". I then violently threw the letter at her while jumping around. ;)</p>

<p>I didn't even read the part about the scholarship before I began celebrating. Just the acceptance was enough to make me giddy.</p>

<p>haha it was a really weird event. a couple nights before, i got waitlisted to a safety: northeastern so i basically lost all hope, and then in the mail i got my rutgers honors program acceptance which was cool!, and then i saw a little cute letter that said: "congratulations! join us!" and thought it was another stupid open house thing, opened it, read it, read it, read it x120938, proceeded to hump and scream and crumple my letter all while i was still in the driveway with my 2 best friends. weird; wasn't expecting it because i totally applied for fun.</p>

<p>steinhardt music business anyone??</p>

<p>btw, i'm thinking about sending my nyu acceptance letter to NE with a nicely worded note that says SUCK IT.</p>
