<p>just wondering what your reactions to Ptons rejection or acceptance letters would be....</p>
<p>if i get a thick envelope with an acceptance i will jump 10 times run around my house and eat lots of ice cream!!!! oh and then tell everyone i know haha</p>
<p>if on the other hand i get a rejection i think i will pretend it never happened ( Pton who? ) frankly i dont know what my reaction to a rejection would be...maybe i would kick my computer</p>
<p>i can tell u my story =P</p>
<p>came home (i always leave my car running in the driveway and get the mail) and saw the envelope freaked out basically (i get REALLY cold and goosebumpy when im excited/nervous) shaking when ripping open the package, drop my cell fone which i was talking to someone (cell fone breaks) run inside (car still running drop all the rest of the mail which scatter across my driveway/garage) stumble inside and find my mom on the fone and i start screaming =P its quite an exciting moment....and then of course called a buncha people, updated aim profile and then posted on CC :D</p>
<p>if i get an acceptance, I would first faint at my mailbox, then when I am resuscitated I will be so overcome by joy that I will start break dancing on the hood of my car and start yelling princeton! princetonI at the top my lungs</p>
<p>if rejected, I will try to shrug it off and say oh well, I got accepted to my safety or my match school</p>
<p>hehe....different college, similar story</p>
<p>1) i hear that some CC people in palo alto have got their mail
2) i get all excited
3) mom stands by mailbox
4) mail arrives
5) mom runs in, i run out
6) i open mailbox, take a peek, see "CON" buried under a bunch of mail (the envelope was rumored to say "congratulations")
7) i shut mailbox, flip out
8) mom thinks it's a mass mailing from stanford :-D
9) i call dad (traveling in india) and open envelope with him
10) mom still thinks it's a mass mailing from stanford</p>
<p>if i get a thin envelope i would assume that it would be a rejection therefore i won't open it til 2 days because a rejection would be real sad.
however, if i get a thick envelope i will open it right away.</p>
<p>Acceptance: Die (of Happines)
Rejection: Die (of Sadness)</p>
<p>hm...maybe you should just shoot yourself now...:)</p>
<p>hahahahahhahaha good advice =P</p>
<p>If it's a big envelope, I will open it right by the mailbox in the lobby. Truthfully, I don't think I'll scream or dance or anything. I think that my face will get really red and stay red for hours. (I actually have before and after Yale EA deferral pictures that I took of myself). Maybe I'll say, "yay" and celebrate quietly. I would tell my parents, maybe update my aim profile (but that might be insensitive to people i know who didn't get in), and i would wait till school the next to tell everyone else. The first weekend after that, I would buy a sweater and hope it's not too hot to wear it for the rest of the week. I know... I'm a boring celebrator.
If it's a small envelope, I will try to hide the envelope in between all the other mail, deliver my parents' mail to my parents, pretend the princeton letter never came, and try to keep the letter hidden in the bottom drawer of my desk, where I keep the rejection letters from my school's peer leadership program from 10th grade and afs awards for excellence scholarship from 11th grade. I will eventually open it, read it over like five times, crumple it, and put it back in the drawer. Then, I would probably do my homework.</p>
<p>Acceptance - I will definitely start screaming in a very clich</p>
<p>even "Alt 130" for "e, accent agute" doesn't seem to be working on Microsoft Word anymore, though... I think it's just my computer.</p>
<p>Accepted: Literally scream. Like a little girl. Feel weird for being deferred/accepted, like i'm a "lesser" acceptance. Go anyway</p>
<p>Waitlist: Ask out loud: are you serious? Like, are you actually serious???? </p>
<p>Reject: Say, whatever, it was my first and worst app. I was deferred. I expected this to happen.</p>

Computers are so, so vile sometimes... it's like they're totally useless. I have a poor habit of rapping my knuckles on their monitors (in an increasingly violent fashion as I get more and more frustrated) when they refuse to work.
Computers, gahh!</p>
<p>To be somewhat on topic, I also save rejection letters, Suburbian. I keep them in an ancient Cole Haan box underneath my bed that has lost its top; I shove the box to the direct center. Thus my Princeton deferral letter had to be hidden beneath the CD console in the kitchen for a few days until I fished the box out (it is basically unreachable because I am so short = short armspan).</p>
<p>Rejected: I'll come home from a Spring Break trip on the other side of the world (away from phone, email, etc) a few days after April 1st, so I'll have a huge stack of mail waiting for me (and my family) at the post office. If there are ANY big envelopes, I'll be happy. I'll still be upset if I get rejected from Princeton, but I would feel little better.</p>
<p>Accepted: I'll probably scream my head off and scare everyone at the post office. Then, I'll treat myself to a really big dinner (or ... rather, my parents will :D) and no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be able to keep me away from that.</p>
<p>lol my parents took me out to a nice dinner after my deferral. It actually had to be a few days after the deferral because I needed time to recover. My mom was really nice, she was like "is there anything i can do" and in my head I was thinking "hmm can you pay my credit card bill" so I knew I was ok :D</p>
<p>I think I'm going to hear from Princeton last so hopefully I won't be relying on it, but I will be jumping up and down happy if I get in. If not, hopefully I'll have another good school to go to. I won't kill myself.</p>
<p>neither will I, but still, nausea beckons</p>
<p>I don't even knoe whether I'll be at home first week of April. Since I am an intl and intl acceptances are fedexed, I will miss the acceptance letter. oh joy :( </p>
<p>However, since I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be accepted, I'll come back from my vacation and find a miserable thin envelope waiting for me. I will cry for 2 days, look at my other acceptance/rejection letters and then get back to studying for entrance exams.</p>
