<p>Just because we need another reason to freak out when thinking about the future... what will you do when you receive your decision? Imagine both situations: aceptance and the one that starts with a 'D.' How will you react? Who will you tell? Etc. etc... :)</p>
<p>Cry, either way. And eat lots of ice cream, either way. </p>
<p>Seriously, though, I think I would just scream and hug everyone if I was accepted. Then probably hyperventilate, jump on the bed, call my Grandma so she'd be the first to know, and be generally euphoric.</p>
<p>If I get the big "D" (lol, what a nice euphanism), I would probably stare in horror, yell the "f" word a whole lot of times (that's what I always do when I'm upset. So sophisticated, isn't it?!), then cry. Then I would probably sit on the couch, eat ice cream and watch TV for an hour until I was able to talk, at which point I would vent to my Mom. </p>
<p><em>continues to freak out and count down...</em></p>
<p>I'm with you, Lauren! If I got the big "D", I plan to bawl, call up one of my best guy friends (who I'm really interested in but can't touch) and cry to him. After that, I'll scream the "f" word several times.Then, I'll go run 5 miles, and buy a pint of Ben and Jerry's to drown my sorrows. I'm already preparing for the worst. Better to be prepared for the worst, I figure.</p>
<p>On the flip side, if I am accepted, I'll run around screaming for 10 minutes, call my best friend who lives next door (who also is applying--imagine the look on the Admission's Counselor's face when he/she sees the addresses), call my best guy friend, and go eat a HUGE dinner at my favorite mexican restaurant.</p>
<p>Nice plans, marines4me!! </p>
<p>You reminded me- either way, I should probably call my best guy friend (who is totally helping me through this entire process. He's the one that keeps me from going <em>totally</em> crazy). But the problem is, he's applying to Yale EA (yeah, he's a smartie) so I don't know if it's a good idea to call him because we'll be finding out at the same time. Only way it would work is if we both got the same decision, so we could celebrate/mourn together. Hmmm, what to do, what to do...</p>
<p>BTW- Why is your guy friend "off limits?" Is he taken? I hate that!</p>
<p>If I get in, I'm sure there'll be plenty of running around, screaming, shouting, and general mayhem going on in my house. On the <em>ahem</em> flip side, I'd probably stare at it for a few seconds, blindly feel for some chair to sit on, and then viciously color in bright red all over the letter.</p>
<p>Bennnnnn and Jeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy's. </p>
<p>Just kidding, not a particular huge fan of Ben & Jerry's.</p>
<p>However, Haagen Das is way good and I think about 50x as sinful. </p>
<p>I don't know if I will actually be reduced to tears, because I'm not that kind of person. I will probably just be like. "Ok, wow, that sucked. I worked my butt off for what exactly..."</p>
<p>If I get accepted, I'm going to hug my mommy :-P.. hahaha.. then go to my battalion and wave it all around.. (the acceptance letter).. then I'm going to show it to my counselor, who will then tell me he won the bet.. (long story).. then I will call my girlfriend and .. well, that's a good five hours (for the phone call w/ girlfriend, that is). Don't know after that.</p>
<p>If I get deferred (am I the first to say this? or is this word illegal).. I will probably carry on with life.. a let down, for sure, but I'll call my girlfriend and tell her how I feel.. she'll try to cheer me up.. and life just goes on...</p>
<p>How about you, Calidan?</p>
<p>Welllllll... I'm not completely sure, but it would probably go something like this:</p>
<p>If I'm accepted, then I will first tell my entire family (rather, I will attempt to tell my family while garbling my words and intermittently screaming with delight). After this, I would most likely immediately go on CC and post it everywhere I could (on the GTown forum first, of course. I can't believe that no one's mentioned this one! I would totally be thinking about everyone on CC when I got my decision!) Next, I would go out for a nice, big, expensive lunch will all of my friends who were accepted early to their schools, too (something like close to 80 percent of my friends applied early somewhere). Last, I would have a really nice dinner with my family (my mom said that either way, she'd cook me my favorite food. Mmmm... steak:D) I would probably also stay up most of the night.</p>
<p>If I'm D-worded, then I will probably not out-right say it to anyone, since they would be able to infer it through my not saying anything. Then a nice dinner, and then I would go to bed early. I probably wouldn't post anything on CC until the next day (so if I don't post anything on the 15th, or whenever we get our letters, then you'll know why). Ugh- that's so depressing. After thinking about it, I really need to get in, or else my mental health will precipitously decline. :(</p>
<p>I really hope that on decision day, I will be able to tell you all about the exquisite lunch that I will have eaten! :)</p>
<p>I think if accepted its Red Lobster for me. Prob will skip all my HW.</p>
<p>If d------d (bad word here) I will listen to Mozart's Requiem repeatedly, come on to CC and post one thousand doleful sad faces :( :( :( :( :(</p>
<p>Can a parent chime in here? I hope so!</p>
<p>If daughter gets in, I'm sure we'll both jump up and down for 20 minutes hugging, laughing and screaming, then we'll each get on the phones and call people! After that, I'll probably take her out somewhere to celebrate, and buy her a nice present (I usually do that when something big happens, she loves it!). That night, I will go to the Georgetown website and buy tons of stuff to be delivered for Christmas! (Surprised nobody else said that one!) After that, I'll probably start cruising the fastweb site looking for money! LOL</p>
<p>Of course while I'm on the phone, I'll be checking the website to hear everyone else's HAPPY news!!!</p>
<p>If its the D word, that will suck. I'll console my daughter with head held high, talk to her about the luck of the draw, etc., and reassure her over and over.</p>
<p>Let's see...If I get in, there will be much screaming and jumping around for a good half hour. Once I get tired, I'll probably make a few phone calls. Then, I have to go to work for an hour (unless it arrives on Monday), where I will continue my celebration. Probably end the evening by going out to dinner and talking w/ as many G-town acceptees online as possible (you guys!). If possible, I might try to get some sleep, but I doubt that will happen.</p>
<p>If it's the big "D," I'll probably let off a nice little string of profanity, followed by sitting and thinking for a while. Then off to work (which will suck quite a lot). Won't be the worst day of my life, but it'd rough.</p>
<p>We'll see what happens...only 10-12 days left...</p>
<p>If I get accepted, I will freak out for like 20 minutes, tell everyone I can, and not be able to study for my calculus final that is that night (yes, its 7-9 pm). </p>
<p>If its the D, I'll probably cry for a good hour (and screaming profanities), eat some ice cream, and not study for my finals (I have 2 more the next day) either. </p>
<p>So either way, I'm gonna fail my calc final. That's why I'm hoping decisions come out on the 13th or 14th so it wont interfere with my finals.</p>
<p>LOL- Did you notice how many people are planning on crying, cursing and eating ice cream if not accepted? Us Georgetown applicants are all so similar, not to mention ridiculously cool. :)</p>
<p>I applied to GTown and Chicago early, so I could get accepted into both, get into one or get deferred from both. If I get accepted into either one I'll be jumping up and down, screaming. Then I'll go online tell everyone, e-mail my aunt and call everyone else. I'll probably go out somewhere to eat with my other friends who applied early.
If I get deferred form both, I'll probably be determined to get all A+s second quarter so I can get in regular and go to Borders and study for my classes or the SATs</p>
<p>I am trying to force myself to imagine getting deferred when I open my letter...but whenever I go there, my mind feeds me back an acceptance letter scenario! ugh!</p>
<p>Well...if I am one of the "D"s...I will be very put off. My mom will most likely be waiting for me to come out of my room and she'll make terrible faces when I come out crying...haha. It'll just really down my self esteem, especially for my upcoming application decisions in April.</p>
<p>If I am one of the "A"s (can't even bring myself to say that word)...I'll probably stare at the letter for a really long time, trying to convince myself it's real...then I'll walk out of my house and scream really loudly and hope the neighbors don't think I'm weird.</p>
<p>i would be grateful and humble</p>
<p>Of course we're all ridiculously cool. Otherwise, why would be wasting so much of our time on this website? ;)</p>
<p>Haha... touch</p>
<p>Honestly, I'm more worried about what my parents are going to do if I get deferred. They'll start remembering the times I watched TV or something instead of working on a paper and make it seem like my laziness is why I didn't get in. I just wish they didn't know I applied.</p>
<p>Babybird, I hope you get in so you can waive it in your mom's face!</p>
