<p>Accepted, deferred, rejected - what will you do in each case? For me:</p>
<p>Accepted - Probably blow off my homework for the night and listen to a lot of really loud music. Screw it. :D</p>
<p>Deferred - Meh, I expected it. Try not to let it affect the rest of my school week.</p>
<p>Rejected - What the f***???</p>
<p>You?</p>
<p>Nice thread topic!</p>
<p>Accepted: Scream. Email my teacher recommenders and EC. Notify parents. Scream. Update my Facebook status. Call all of the important people in my life. Spend the rest of the night (and morning?) drinking embarassingly large amounts of coffee and crocheting or knitting an MIT hat to wear the school the next day.</p>
<p>Deferred: <em>sigh</em> Meh, I expected it. Eat some chocolate. Start writing my supplementary papers. Cry if I feel like it. Email teacher recs.</p>
<p>Rejected: How in the hell?! Cry. Play sad music. Get over it. Console myself. Email teacher recs.</p>
<p>Collapse and cry
for either acceptance and deferral
Except that I didn’t apply EA :p</p>
<p>If accepted, I would squeeze my friend to death (she’s going to be over making food and watching SYTYCD with me) and make a lot of noise. I’d tell my dad, but not my mom, because she’ll be in China for a month. XD I’d tell her later though, of course. Next day I would run into my decathlon coach’s room and scream and then squeeze him to death too. :)</p>
<p>If deferred, I will bear the condolences that my friend will bestow upon me and distract myself with SYTYCD and making yummy foods. And tell myself lots of things to make myself feel better, like “at least the French Club soiree is tomorrow” and “at least holiday break is almost here.” I’d be quite disappointed though. It’s intense enough waiting for Dec 16th, I don’t want to wait for March or April.</p>
<p>If rejected, I am pretty sure I would react the same as if I were deferred, only the overall emotion will be a little more panicky. D: Plz don’t happen haha. Though it would make sense if I were rejected, considering I probably lean toward the humanities a bit further than comfortable for the typical MIT applicant (or acceptee…).</p>
<p>ANYWAYS, good luck, everyone. Let’s keep on keeping on until 9 p.m. on Wednesday. :)</p>
<p>Accepted: Scream, update my FB status, run downstairs, tell my parents, and REFUSE to study for my English/Latin finals (the next day).
Deferred: Pout for a few hours, maybe cry a little, update my FB status to something cynical, tell my parents, study.
Rejected: Scream at the monitor, frantically review my application for glaring errors, probably be too upset to study… </p>
<p>Man, only one of those options sounds mildly enjoyable. 
Nervous…</p>
<p>Accepted - I have no effing idea.</p>
<p>Deferred - I will be pretty happy. This is what I am actually SHOOTING for. HAHA. Sad, I know, but I have crappy freshman year grades (no Ds or Fs, but not good).</p>
<p>Rejected - Sad for a little, but nothing more. I wouldn’t be surprised.</p>
<p>Accepted: Run back into the Basketball Gym after practice and try to dunk, because it’ll be the highest I’ve been in a while. </p>
<p>Deferred: Work on supplemental essays for my other schools.</p>
<p>Rejected: Be thoroughly disappointed. Work on supplemental essays for my other schools.</p>
<p>@quitevalid: crocheting? xD nice</p>
<p>Accepted: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. :DDDDDD YAYYYYYY. SCREAM. SCREAM SOME MORE. SCREAM EVEN MORE. </p>
<p>Deferred: -sigh- Q_<em>Q <em>Works on moar college apps</em> Congratulate friends who got in, be annoyed&jealous if people who I don’t really like get in ></em>> Heh.</p>
<p>Rejected: The hell? D: <em>Works on moar college essays</em> Congratulate friends who get in and contemplate murdering people who I don’t like get in (jk…>_>)</p>
<p>Accepted: Burst into tears and scream and run and tell my sister, then faint. Calm down, go study.
Deferred: No reaction, go study for English and Physics finals.
Rejected: Sob, demand ice cream, too sad to study.</p>
<p>Accepted:
Reread the decision, jump out of my chair and start running around the house screaming my head off. Call my counselor and teachers and then continue running around the house screaming my head off and then go meet up with other MIT EA-ers after baking a cake in the shape of a beaver :)</p>
<p>Deferred:
According to past stats this is the most probable outcome so I’m expecting this but I know I’ll feel my heart drop into my stomach. Start feeling sick. Then continue studying for my final feeling absolutely horrible.</p>
<p>Rejected:
Hear my dreams shatter. Cry for the next hour and ask why. Then pull myself together and study for my final. I will probably be in a zombie-like state for the next week. lol doesn’t that seem lovely? LOLOL</p>
<p>Cry, probably. Regardless of what the decision is.</p>
<p>Good thread!</p>
<p>I will stare blankly for pretty much ll the outcomes. Then, it will be a “Oh my god…”</p>
<p>Accepted: I will do a little dance and jump around. I will then demand to be taken out to dinner, and I will call my aunts and let them know. Then, I’ll obsess over all the threads here and start picking out my dorm (although I already know I’m an east campus kind of girl). i probably won’t fall asleep for a long time, and I’ll just freak out all over everyone for a couple days afterward.</p>
<p>Deferred: alas, this is so likely… I’ll stare blankly and pretend it isn’t affecting me as much as it is. I’ll then go for a walk with some sad music and think about my supplements (which are actually good… yes, I already started working on them). I’ll review my app and make a flow chart of my strengths and weaknesses. That’ll take a week or so… ;)</p>
<p>Rejected: ***??? I didn’t think I was that bad… Then, I’ll do the same as for deferred, but I’ll start in on my other apps with a new dedication. (After a couple hours of moping around and grieving the loss of a dream… maybe I should make a tombstone for MIT dreams if this happens…)</p>
<p>Cry no matter what.
Maybe if I was deferred I would be like ehhh…</p>
<p>But denied - definitely cry.
Accepted - cry then go crazy=)</p>
<p>I’m thinking this and I didn’t even apply yetxD. (I’m applying next year.)
Good Luck to those who are getting their EA results!</p>
<p>Accepted: Go crazy. tell whole family, update FB, go hug one of my rec teachers, love life, be sooo happy knowing I earned it</p>
<p>Deferred: Be disheartened. I know that there are so many other qualified people, but I truly thought my accomplishments were extremely unique, and just what MIT was looking for. Be ****ed at how my school calculated class rank. Cry, realizing I’m unlikely to go to MIT, my dream school, where I would truly fit in.</p>
<p>Rejected: Be sooo confused. What could have gone so wrong? Maybe call their office and ask if there’s a way to debate EA rejection. Feel crushed.</p>
<p>Accepted: Sit there for a few minutes, call my best friends. Ask this girl I’ve had a crush on for weeks to a date. Sit there for a few minutes. Tell my family. Thank everyone, including you guys on CC. haha</p>
<p>Deferred: Go running. Realize I could have done more, make a list of my improvements I want to make before New Year’s.</p>
<p>Rejected: Go running. Realize I could have done more, make a list of my regrets.</p>
<p>I consider myself one of the lesser qualified applicants so my level of confidence isn’t as high as most of you. haha</p>
<p>@dosoon - The date thing is a good idea… I should add it to my list :D</p>
<p>@soadquake981
It’s probably not. LOL I just know I will rarely come across moments in my life when I have more confidence and belief in myself compared to the day I receive MIT Decisions and it turns out I’ve been accepted.</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely know what you mean.</p>
<p>Accepted - fdsf;jadsfja;dfjSUCCESS!! and call my brother first thing
Deferred - <em>sigh</em> I guess I saw this coming from the start
Rejected - …damn. I guess I should probably forget about applying to Harvard and Princeton now…</p>
<p>Accepted- Go absolutely insane. I don’t cry, ever, and I won’t if I get rejected, but if I get in I just might. And I will proceed to order more MIT-related things than the coop can handle in one internet order XD</p>
<p>That’s pretty much the only option I want to think about. I can honestly say I have never wanted something this much in my entire life.</p>
