<p>I love how all our lives are dangling on the one fine thread of Cornell.
On the 15th, mine is going to go up in a puff of smoke and cinders.
Ah. The joys of college admissions.</p>
<p>ahh optimism! just be positive :) december 15th is a long way away. kind of.</p>
<p>well let's see. I already have a Cornell shirt I got a few years ago, but it is kinda too small for me so I don't usually wear it. and I got a Cornell bag last year, but it is extremely cheap and it's color rubs off pink on everything it touches, so I don't use that much either. I guess I'll probably get some functional Cornell stuff for Christmas if I get in.</p>
<p>I have no knot of tension at all in my stomach, so I don't have to feed it purchases or anything. can't explain it cept that I'm a generally calm person.</p>
<p>i'm gonna burn all my SAT books. =D</p>
<p>If accepted ('09): Go WILD. Burn all my SAT/ACT books. Go to every sleepover and party I can possibly attend.
Deferred: Probably the worst outcome. Dejectedly keep on with my regular decision apps. (Ima ED for Cornell)
Rejected: Look for the tallest building in town (lol)</p>
<p>Feemzi2: "i will burn my house down if i dont get into Cornell."</p>
<p>HAHAHAHA!!!! GOOD ANSWER!</p>
<hr>
<p>edit: this is what i'd burn or do... December 15 is the weekend wedged right between my final exams.</p>
<p>if i get in: go out, party, call all my friends to tell them the good news (that's like, 20 long-distance calls... hmm), break down and cry myself to sleep (happy tears), get a manicure (I don't know. maybe i'll spell out: "CORNELL4ME" or something hahaha)</p>
<p>if i get deferred: yelling four-letter words out really really loudly and writhe around on the floor in the mall until i get taken away by security (because at least that makes for an interesting story: GIRL ARRESTED DUE TO IVY LEAGUE DEFERRAL)</p>
<p>if i get rejected: "WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" take my cornell hat, cornell flip flops, and all my architectural sketches to school and make a bonfire and save the ashes to be thrown into the ocean.</p>
<p>Oh yea, my friend and I bought really obnoxiously big rings and we made a deal to wear them until decision day. If either of us doesn't get into our first choice, then we throw our rings into the sea. It'll make us feel better knowing that our first choices were only worth $4. :p but if we do get in, we have to wear the ugly rings for the rest of the year, until graduation!</p>
<p>hahahahha i love your edit reason, lol didn't' talk about my burn-list</p>
<p>i have 'cornell' sort of drawn onto my uniform(international, never been to store) so im probably gonna burn that, iz not a pretty uniform anyway...</p>
<p>I've got a bright red cornell sweatshirt and a pair of capris with a small Cornell logo as well as a folder.. the folder's pretty much fallen apart by now, but if I get rejected i intend to start a small fire with the sweatshirt using strips of my folder to get the fire going, and then I'll probably just cut off the logo on the capri's and keep them because i kind of like them. :D If i get in though, I'm definitely wearing them 24-7 until I get more Cornell clothes to add to my wardrobe!</p>
<p>If i get accepted, i buy myself computer games, if i dont get accepted, I move on with my life and just go to a canadian university</p>
<p>I'm kind of expecting waitlist or rejection, so I've pretty much only thought of those two situations. Lots of chocolatate. Lots and lots of chocolate.</p>
<p>But the worst part is that I leave for vacation really early on December 15th. That means, if the news is bad, my vacation will really really suck.</p>
<p>if i get in i would scream till i have no voice and then call everyone and tell them and celebrate like no other</p>
<p>if i get derfered i would stare at the celinig for a long time and procrastinate on other the college apps that i need to fill out</p>
<p>if i get rejected i would find every little piece of cornell merchandise in my house and burn it to a crisp and then cry for like a week straight</p>
<p>Accepted:
BUY ALOT OF CLOTHES</p>
<p>Rejected:
CRY A RIVER AND THEN WORK MY BUTT OFF AT RUTGERS AND TRANSFER</p>
<p>i honestly think I will get deferred and I can't think about what will happen afterwards. -__- HELLO CHOCOLATE AND ICE CREAM.</p>
<p>If i get in: I'd Go onto Bear</a> Necessities Online - Store For All Of Your Cornell Memorabilia and buy hella stuff asap. I dunno if I'd cry out of happiness (I've never done so in my life before..), and I'll not tell anyone that I got in(other than my family of course), unless they ask me about it...hahah.</p>
<p>If I get deferred: Eat hella. Then start other apps.</p>
<p>If I don't get in: lock away cornell sweaters and cry. Eat hella. Then start other apps.</p>
<p>yes, I say hella.</p>
<p>id eat a lot. a lot a lot of icecream. either way. hahaahaha</p>
<p>honestly. ice cream and chocolate seems to be the most popular choices of comfort foods huh? yummy =]</p>
<p>Despite the attachment I have with Cornell, I wouldn't feel too bad about getting rejected. I will proabaly watch some crappy college bowl games</p>
<p>If i get in........i will pee in my pants lol</p>
<p>I will buy myself a big (HUGE)cake and eat the whole thing = D, then I would bring desert for everyone at school thats (5,000 people) But i dont care!@</p>
<p>According to statistics, about 60 percent of us will be eating chocolate ice creams, burning our houses or getting arrested at malls... :(
If i am lucky and get accepted: I ll prolly go crazy due to extreme joy
If i get deferred: I ll prolly go crazy because of the wait
If i get rejected: I ll prolly go crazy due to depression</p>
