What Will You Say to Nosy Classmates on April 1st?

<p>GUY1: HEY WHERE DID YOU GET ACCEPTED TO?
GUY2: UMMM YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
GUY1: SURE WHY NOT
GUY2: S.H.I.T.
GUY1: WHAT?!
GUY2: SOUTH HAMPTON INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY</p>

<p>lol I’ll be using that one</p>

<p>“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>It’s a sliding scale.</p>

<p>It’s not like if you make one G over the limit and you get 0 Financial Aid.</p>

<p>tbl,not all of us are so fortunate to have as noncompetive and supportive classmates as you. People at my school talk incessantly about admissions and make very strong statements about which people should get in where, what different aceptances mean, etc. It’s only natural for people in that environment to want to keep their decisions secret.</p>

<p>Best “snappy” (and snippy) response to an annoying, intrusive question:</p>

<p>Why do you want to know?</p>

<p>It’s all in the delivery. Ask it innocently. Look them in the eye and enjoy the squirming. After you’ve made them uncomfortable, just tell them that you’re going to X, and you’re really sick of talking about college stuff. Then abruptly change the subject.</p>

<p>“Harvizzzzzzzzzle”</p>

<p>I ll say i got into MIT and Harvard but i guess i wont be able to cope with the course work so i rejected them and now i m going to X university!!! LOL</p>

<p>The trick is pulling it off without sounding pompous haha or maybe we should sound pompous…</p>

<p>Ugh. They’re already asking me. The underclassmen ask me 24/7 about my GPA, SAT score, extracurricular activities and everything. I’m not lying, but every day of this week, I’ve been asked by the juniors if I got into any more universities over the course of a few days. I’m the type who hates answering those type of questions. I like to keep things to myself. </p>

<p>I think I’ll say, “Hmm. Why?”</p>

<p>im actually going to be willing to talk about all my rejections from the top end schools, as everyone in my school assumes i will be getting a full ride at harvard. yeah right… im not even gonna get in!!!</p>

<p>I’m just gonna tell them in a very monotonous tone. Monotonosity (haha) will increase as the day goes on and more people ask.</p>

<p>Teacher/parent/friend/person I’ve hardly ever talked to: So where are you going to school?
Me: I have no idea. <em>shakes head</em>
He/She: Well where have you applied?
Me: [top choice].
He/She: OOooOOOoOOoO.
Me (awkwardly): …yea…ummm…fingers crossed <em>goofy grin</em></p>

<p>I can’t wait till April rolls around partly just so I can give people a definitive answer.</p>

<p>“I’ve decided that college is overrated and too expensive, so I will not be going to college at all.”</p>

<p>either “I got into UGA” or “I didn’t get into UGA”</p>

<p>roblan … lol that made my day~</p>

<p>“I got into a few places, but I haven’t yet decided where I am going and I’d rather not hear a bunch of opinions, well-meaning or not, because I really want it to be ME making the decision.” You can even add, “As soon as I know, Ill let you know.”:</p>

<p>By the time May rolls around, they will have moved on, you will have far more information about where everyone else is going to school and frankly, you will truly stop caring what your classmates (who aren’t your true friends, of course) think about pretty much anything.</p>

<p>i’m just going to get someone with a big mouth to spread a rumor that i got into harvard. then when ppl ask me, i’ll smile mysteriously…HA.</p>

<p>^LOL… that sounds fun. You are going to tell the rumour-starter the truth though, right?!</p>

<p>“hey guise, i got into Harvard, MIT, Stanford, f yeah! without being a lil ***** like u guise were hahahaha! take that suckas. lololol.” then make a really cocky/arrogant face and laugh.</p>

<p>annoying guy/girl- hey any college acceptances yet?
me- yea, I got into HYPSMCJJDCAJASDJF f yeah!
him/her- omg really? u serious? ur crazy! all those??
me- yea, im just a natural genius i guess, i was kinda expecting it. i would accept nothing less. and you?
him/her- i got into (insert lower Ivy/school that sucks compared to harvard)
me- haha wow u suck!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I like this one.</p>

<p>-Where did you get accepted?
-I got accepted to my top choice school!
-great, what school
-I dont think you’ve heard of it…its like REALLY competitive.
So compettive that thhey have a -15% acceptance rate…yup negative which means they on average they kick out 15% of their students each year…Even with a 2350, I didnt think I could get in
-so what school is this? Harvard?
-Ha, dont insult me…its community college!</p>
