<p>Well that would be and eerie response… to, ya know… the nosy students…</p>
<p>/terrible pun.</p>
<p>I have no idea, I need to figure this out now, bc my school is very nosy and admissions crazed, and I need to get ready for the “you only got in bc you’re black” comments also!!!</p>
<p>@iskander - yes. why? can u think of a good answer with that?</p>
<p>@collegebound_91 - omg that would suck…haters… sheesh i guess you could always say “well im in, you’re not, see you 20 years?” </p>
<p>these Nosy Classmates are a plague… everywhere</p>
<p>“I don’t wanna say. but its in…(city and/or state)”
“Yeah, I’m happy with it though”
“im majoring in…”</p>
<p>If I were your friend, I would be interested in where your going (place, not university) and if you’re happy about it :). I wouldnt care if you didnt tell me, unless it turns out we got into the same place!</p>
<p>“I don’t wanna say. but its in Boston.”</p>
<p>So many possibilities… :P</p>
<p>collegebound_91, I have the same problem. </p>
<p>Whenever people ask me where I applied, I always reply: “UVA and W&M (in-state publics for me) and a couple of places here and there.” Then I change the conversation or talk to someone else. I’ll probably use the same strategy for my acceptances. Don’t know what I’ll do with rejections, but it’s really not their business.</p>
<p>What’s the matter with just saying? That’s what people at my school do…And guess what. It doesn’t define who they are. It just says where they got accepted.</p>
<p>It’s pretty simple. Just say you got a full-ride to Harvard, but … you decided to just go to …Yale.</p>
<p>In the most serious tone you can manage. That will shut anyone up.</p>
<p>Except everyone knows you couldn’t get a full-ride to Harvard unless your EFC is 0.</p>
<p>Just tell the truth. It will get out one way or another. My daughter said it’s really annoying when people tried to be coy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I guess its because, aside from my GC, two teachers that wrote recommendations, and one or two friends who critiqued my essays, the college admissions process has been a very personal road. I’d like the results to be personal, and stay personal as well. Most people who ask me are wishing for my downfall anyways, not asking out of pure curiosity. </p>
<p>So snappy comebacks are sooo wanted.</p>
<p>i don’t really get it. if they ask you directly, just tell them? does it make any difference what others know or say? save yourself all this trouble.</p>
<p>I understand the sentiment here… Just flat-out say you are not comfortable saying it. I’ve had people say that to me last year, and I stopped asking. They got their point across and I wasn’t upset. </p>
<p>You could also do a “X is not sharing college decisions” as a Facebook status. =]</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I love this one.</p>
<p>The motive behind this thread doesn’t really matter, the answers that CCers post make my day 
shaneomac cracked me up</p>
<p>The first rule of college acceptances is that you don’t talk about college acceptances.
The second rule of college is acceptances is that you do NOT talk about college acceptances.</p>
<p>^wooo fight club!</p>

<p>You can get a full ride if your annual income is below $60,000. I don’t think that necessarily means an EFC of 0 
Which is good</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If I get accepted I know those comments are sure to come, which I plan to respond: “I’m sure it helped, but they don’t just admit people because they are black.” Or I am only going to tell my actual friends because when they say it I think it will be okay but for the others they don’t need to know at all.</p>
<p>2 comments:</p>
<p>1) i always wondered what if your annual income were $61,000 lol, or something more realistic like $65,000, would you seriously be out of a full ride? </p>
<p>2) i love the idea of responding with “um, I forgot already. What about you?”
hahaha, i might use that one.</p>
<p>how about be honest? why shouldnt kids be curious about where their classmates are going? if you think others are going to judge you by where you got accepted/rejected you have security problems.</p>
