What would you do if you got rejected (or deferred)?

<p>yeah, i stay away from those. i'm not a big fan of them.</p>

<p>back to the topic,
deferred/rejected: be bitter for a day or or two, then focus on the rest of the apps, and study for some sat2s
accepted: I tend not to overreact for some reason so I would just smile and tell a few people... then complete a project( that I'm doing for fun) I've left in the middle</p>

<p>lol. you guys.. comeon..</p>

<p>but yea btw i remember seeing that episode of laguna beach (keep in mind i dont normally watch that show, the only thing on mtv i like is pimp my ride for some strange reason) but the girl in that episode got rejected from BYU and i thought it was kinda funny...</p>

<p>until of course i realized that could be me and Princeton in another 3 weeks.</p>

<p>from where?</p>

<p>what's BYU?</p>

<p>Brigham Young, I'm guessing. That's funny. I hate Laguna Beach yet if I happen to be channel-surfing when it's on and come to it, I have to watch and marvel at the inanity of it all...</p>

<p>I'm so full!! Someone rescue me. Yet, since the dessert was Mocha cheesecake with real coffee, I think it's counteracting that hormone stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy. That, or the fact that I slept 18 hours yesterday explains why I'm so hyper right now.</p>

<p>I loooove coffee, that's why I'm up now.</p>

<p>Sort of on topic of this thread - I have this one socially inept uncle, who at dinner was like, "Kat, when you go to Princeton next year, I won't be able to get at you" (he is notorious for overstepping the boundaries of teasing into being rude). I had to protest like five times before he switched to "if".... and it's not that he doesn't realize how impossible it is to get in, he kindly informed me of that at our last family dinner. He just wanted to be obnoxious!</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> Les familles...</p>

<p>elles sont ridicules, non?</p>

<p>Haha, I know the feeling. It always bugs me when people say "when" instead of "if" just to bug me, but some of them do it just because they refuse to believe I won't get in. I only wish I had the page of stats that could show them why I easily could not.</p>

<p>Omg my family did that to me too!
My parents had friends over, and they were like "so when do you know?"
and I'm like "oh, december 15"
"so we'll celebrate then."
mom goes "yea I'll buy dinner" </p>

<p>ahh wthhhh</p>

<p>I would curl up in a ball for about a week, mumbling incoherently as passerbys pitifully look at me and walk away, usually shaking their heads. Then the rain would fall. Then i'd get struck by lightning. Then I'll die and ask God, "Why wasn't I allowed into Princeton?" Then, in His infinite wisdom, he would say, "Because you..." Then I'd wake up, without ever being able to hear his answer. Repeat 10x</p>

<p>eeesh that is kinda hellish</p>

<p><em>in Church Lady voice</em> Well, isn't that speshullll.</p>

<p>No, I understand. The Big Guy and I might have a couple of chit-chats over the Envelope of Death, Doom, and Destruction too...</p>

<p>Then I would get accepted into Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, Dartmouth, (even though I didn't apply to these schools). Then i would die of so much joy. Then I 'll see God once more and ask, "Why did you make me die in my moment of triumph?" Then, in His infinite wisdom he would say, "Because you..." Then I'd wake up, without ever being able to hear his answer. Repeat 10x</p>

<p>Jk..... but not really.</p>

<p>haha. kidding in that no-really-I'm-serious way that only you know how to do, hobbes.</p>

<p>lol stop dying on us Hobbes!
We have to visit you in Alaska</p>

<p>lol at the church lady voice phil-phil</p>

<p>if I get rejected or deferred I'm going to be so sad. Like deathly sad. I'll think everyones better than me and lose all self worth. I've been such an arrogant ass about the ED process, pretty much assuming I'll get in and stuff. "yeah when I get I'm going to buy a bunch of sweatshirts and wear them around"</p>

<p>Then when I go to school after getting rejected everyone will be like "ha! thats what you get for being so arrogant chocoman! nanny nanny poo poo!" and then there gonna punch me in the brain.</p>

<p>and then within a week I'll have gained 10 pounds and grown a scraggily beard from not shaving and I'll smell like a bum because I'll lose all will to do anything.</p>

<p>This post was not a fabrication: im serious guys.</p>

<p>HAHAHA that's funny chocoman. You kidder, you!</p>
