What will you do if you get in?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I figure we need some optimism on this board, even if it is unrealistic dreaming :)</p>

<p>I want a thread like this because a lot of other schools have them and I think it's nice to imagine.</p>

<p>Or you could post what you'd do if you DON'T get in, but I'm sure that would be both boring (no offense) and depressing. Whatever.</p>

<p>Personally I'd just start screaming. I'm on the West Coast so I think I'll check it at school (decisions come out 2pm pacific time). Then everyone in the computer lab would just be like, what is that girl doing? And I wouldn't care.... Last year some seniors found out decisions in the computer lab and it was really exciting--they'd just start jumping up and down and everyone would like cheer for them and stuff. Yay.</p>

<p>Then I'd like run around and find my friends. I think I would wait till I got home to tell my parents--it'd be more exciting that way!!!</p>

<p>(Please don't let this jinx me lol. <em>knocks on wood</em>)</p>

<p>Oh, and I'd buy a Yale sweatshirt ASAP!!!</p>

<p>My beautiful fantasy that will probably not happen....
Oops. I didn't mean that.</p>

<p>OPTIMISM. OPTIMISM. OPTIMISM.</p>

<p>if i get in, i hope i will act very calmly and sanely, even though i’ll be in my room and no one will be able to judge me.</p>

<p>christmas will be a lot more enjoyable as the numbers of apps i do will be decreased significantly, not to mention i’ll be in a relieved and happy state of mind.</p>

3

<p>I think if I get in, I’ll buy a HUGE box of chocolates and distribute to everyone who’ll be taking a walk in the park opposite my house at that time. And I’ll probably face-paint “Yale” onto my forehead and walk around school like that the next day. :P</p>

4

<p>I’ll be as happy as Frenchman who’s just invented a pair of self removing trousers.</p>

5

<p>^Spoken like a true Englishman. :)</p>

<p>I’d cry. No wait, howl. And laugh. All at the same time. Then check the website like 50 times during the day to make sure I wasn’t delusional. Call up all my friends and family and wake them up at 4am. And then throw an impromptu party in the evening!</p>

6

<p>I will die.</p>

7

<p>I’d drive to New Haven and pick up a sweatshirt so that I could wear it over the holidays. Ideally it would be snowing.</p>

<p>Then a nice, relaxing Christmas break with no more applications…</p>

8

<p>My parents would take me out to dinner. Probably to either Outback or Macaroni Grill haha</p>

9

<p>What I’d love MOST though, (apart from the chance to attend YALE), would be not having to do any more apps! I REALLY, REALLY am not looking forward to the apps I’ll have to do if I get rejected/deferred.</p>

10

<p>I would shout out some expletives and run downstairs sobbing. Then I’d tell my family that I was rejected. Hopefully churn out some tears. I’d say that my life was no longer worth living, hang my head low, get down on my knees, point my hands in the sky and look up, appearing to search for God.</p>

<p>Then I’d open up my laptop, hit replay on the singing bulldog, and tell them, “You just got Yale’d, BITTCHEZZZ!”</p>

11

<p>^ lol that’s cruel to your family. </p>

<p>But if I was accepted, my heart would stop. Then I would log on again and again to make sure it was true. After that, I would cry and trip down the stairs as I rush to tell everybody.</p>

12

<p>I would paint my living room red. From my blood. Because I’d explode.</p>

13

<p>you guys r hilariousss!
i’m applying rd but if i get in I’ll quietly go downstairs and say to my mom, “mom, I just got an email from yale saying I was accepted.”</p>

<p>10 seconds later-</p>

<p>Burst out in laughter and tears and go on facebook and not post this as my status!</p>

14

<p>It sort of got buried, but this was started a few weeks ago</p>

15

<p>Oh well. It has this annoying title with YOU in all caps. What is this, Soulja Boy?</p>

16

<p>I’ll run through the streets bare-chested screaming “I’M OFF TO YALE!” </p>

<p>I’m gonna paint my school-bag blue and write a big white Y on it and then using a knife I’d design Y’s in all of my shirts. :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>If that day ever comes…</p>

17

<p>Owlehn, that is hilarious! My family went to outback steakhouse when we found out about the LL!!</p>

18

<p>

</p>

<p>Had me rolling. =P</p>

<p>And, I think I would probably want to experience one of those stereotypical moments of loud yelling or jumping up and down or crying, but I would probably end up just sitting there on my chair speechless.</p>

19

<p>I’m goin to Disney World. Seriously though it’s about 20 minutes away</p>
