<p>I know there is a similar thread in the Cornell forum so I won't get credits for originality. But how will you celebrate if you get in? What will be your reactions? How will you get over it?</p>
<p>I dont want to think about it, natural reaction is always the best… Or worst 
haha</p>
<p>either way, there will be “a lot of noise” as my mom put it :)</p>
<p>I’ll probably be refreshing my screen non-stop 10 minutes before it comes out even though I heard it comes out EXACTLY at 5:00 PM EST… okay I’ll admit it I’ll cry if I don’t get in.</p>
<p>the way I deal with disappointment is different…
I just don’t say anything for a while… I don’t talk to anyone… and just internalize the whole thing…</p>
<p>I don’t want to think about getting accepted, since that is highly unlikely. As soon as I see my rejection letter, I am going to cancel every event I have for the weekend and buy some Godiva chocolate to relieve my stress. Then I’d start my regular decision essays…
If I ever get lucky and get accepted, I would call my best friends followed by a friend in Columbia. I don’t know who the first one’s going to be. Then I would order some sweatshirts and post a generic facebook status. Probably skip school on Friday too.</p>
<p>I try not to daydream about the outcome, but I really can’t help it nowadays. I’m just hoping for the best.</p>

<p>This is pretty much me right now. I posted something on Cornell’s board just for fun, but now that the admissions date is so close I don’t think I actually know how I would react anymore. Since I’m on the West Coast, I might check during school (I would wait because I wouldn’t want to be surrounded by a ton of classmates) and if so, I would probably not do anything if I were rejected and probably just close the tab and go on with my life. If I were accepted at school, I would probably share that news, though. </p>
<p>If I were at home, I probably would stay in my room for a bit, and then the opposite if I were accepted.</p>
<p>I’m lucky because I have a spare last block on Thursday (I’m west coast) and no school on Friday. I’m leaving for vacation the Monday right after! - Genius plan</p>
<p>Wow LOLSAURUS! I’m so jealous of you. I have to do this biology lab on the 11th, so I really am not getting too much of a break until winter break which starts on the 17th. </p>
<p>I have school for the entire week of the 15th so if I don’t get in I’ll just be bummed about all the work I’ve been putting in and how futile it all seems. I mean, I know that it’s just a crapshoot, but I’ve wanted to go to Columbia since freshman year and during times where I’ve felt stressed because of the it’s been a motivating factor to think “Hey, all this work is for Columbia.”</p>
<p>i would cry, take my pants off, streak across my school and then hug my friends</p>
<p>if i got in.</p>
<p>I have a band concert that night around 7pm but I think I have to be there earlier. So if I am rejected, which I am ready for, I will probably be crying throughout the entire concert. Or I’ll be quiet, I’m not sure how I will deal with it. I’m just hoping for at least a deferral, but you never know. Good luck to all of you (:</p>
<p>I am oversea; it would be the first thing in the morning for me to check the status. Therefore, make or break my day…(and year for that matters…)
I am getting very anxious though…Hear me out Columbia!!! Plzzzzzzz make my year… :/</p>
<p>I’ll try to be indifferent about rejection. But I’d also write a new Common App essay for any schools I might RD to.</p>
<p>Once I get the rejection I will start on my applications to other schools. If the news is good I will immediately order a Columbia t-shirt, call my parents, update my Facebook, email my teachers, and respond to responses, in that order.
It’s funny I’ve grown quite apathetic. I can’t imagine any feeling that will come when I find out the decision.</p>
<p>haha my finals start on the day of Columbia results :O. Not sure if I should check on the day or after exams are all done hahaha. But it’ll be lots of icecream and celebrating if the best happens…if not…it’s back to intense essay-mode for RD schools for me :O</p>
<p>Also oversea, so the first thing in the morning, checking my status!! But i probably won’t fall asleep the night before.</p>
<p>Skip school and cry for the whole day if I don’t get in.</p>
<p>lol…leo309, where r u?</p>
<p>China. I’m a poor low-acceptance-rate international student.</p>
<p>If Denied: Take a walk by myself to just think, then start my RD applications. I’ll probably also just watch TV or play Skyrim real late until I fall asleep of sadness.</p>
<p>Accepted: Don’t tell anyone.Try to buy a Columbia tee shirt and surprise my parents by wearing it. Probably won’t go to school on Friday.</p>
<p>I also want to go to an arcade by me the second after being accepted (which is not likely). I haven’t finalized the plans yet</p>
<p>If we get in, a friend and I are planning on buying bus tickets to NYC and going to get our Columbia shirts in person. Rejection would probably lead to crying and a lot of "I should have"s. I haven’t the faintest idea what I’d do with a deferral… That’d actually be the worst for me.</p>
