<p>if you got into your dream school?</p>
<p>I would probably run around my neighborhood screaming with joyous tears rolling down my face.</p>
<p>I would start jumping and screaming insanely. I mean c'mon now--getting into my dream school is even better than winning the lottery.</p>
<p>ehhh.... i'd rather be where i am (at my safety school) and have the lottery than to be broke at my ex-dream school.</p>
<p>I would run around my neighborhood butt naked swinging my under and shirt over my head in one hand and fisting the acceptnace letter in my other hand while screaming "WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! I'M GOING TO PRINCETON!!!!!!!"</p>
<p>I'd bring it up nonchalantly to everyone I know.</p>
<p>i would jump for joy and bang my head on the ceiling, thereby dying and not being able to attend the college... cause life sux like that</p>
<p>Call my parents. Yell into the phone..."I got into MIT (or Harvard - either will do)!" Hang up. Call my best friend. do the same. then drive to school...and tell everyone I know who happens to be there at 3 or 4 or whenever I checked the mail. Then put it up on my away message.</p>
<p>...after a few hours, the novelty would probably wear off. But I wouldn't be able to do any work that evening.</p>
<p>I would be sooo stoked, and I would run around the house and tell my best friend....but I wouldn't want to tell the kids at my school because they think I'm an idiot (the blonde curse) and would immediately think that THEY should have applied to the school I did because if I got in then ANYONE could get in. </p>
<p>But then I would just flip them off because I got in and they didn't :)</p>
<p>Lol LadyinRed....a few hours?!?!?! It would take about a week for me to settle myself down if I got into Princeton. There is a funny thread about this on the Yale forum... <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=14097&page=1%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=14097&page=1</a></p>
<p>Down at the bottom of the first page they started a list of what they would do if they got into Yale.</p>
<p>mutter "oh ok", and move on to my hw...</p>
<p>I'd be really happy for a few days and then settle down. :)</p>
<p>I would probably fall down on my bed and break out crying.</p>
<p>When I got my 800 on my SAT II I just sat down and stared at immobile objects for insane amounts of time. It was an amazing experience.</p>
<p>I've actually had visions of what I would do if I got into Yale. About a year or two ago I was reading an archived CC thread on which people posted their reactions to getting in, and I was so stupefied by their emotions and I wanted to be able to rejoice the same way. I got so excited for when I apply to college. Even now I experience a softer version of the same pure excite all the time. Like I'm not nervous or apprehensive or anything. I'm totally confident, nonchalant; everything is going to work out.</p>
<p>Um yeah. I better get into Yale. Or switch my #1 choices ASAP.</p>
<p>I'd jump up and down on my computer chair (checking my the net) and run down the hall, screaming, o m g i got in!! yeah!!
And I'd cry while running down the hall and I'll scream to my mummy and daddy and they'll cry too and we'll all hug together, all crying and they'd be like, "im so proud of you" and i'd be like, "me too i love you guys" and they'd be like "we love you!" and then i'd jump around more! I always like to fantasize about the different possiblities of my reaction.. this is just 1 of them..</p>
<p>I'd just smile and return to whatever it is I'm doing. Maybe IM my friends and tell them, but I wouldn't want it traveling around or anything.</p>
<p>I'd scream, call all my friends and family...then I'd walk into my college counselor's office looking all sad and depressed the next day....and then give her the biggest hug in the world and scream 'I GOT IN!!!"...Then me and my friend would follow through on our plans to cover her office with post it notes and/or pictures of Bono.</p>
<p>If I get into my dream college it will be:</p>
<p><em>open letter and read acceptance</em>
<em>stare at letter confused for 20 minutes</em>
<em>shrug</em>
<em>tell my mom two hours later</em>
<em>get excited because she'll be excited</em>
<em>tell everyone I know, including boyfriend</em>
The next day
<em>remember how much my dream college costs</em>
<em>remember I'll be 8 hours from home and 9 from my boyfriend</em>
<em>make a pro/con list</em>
<em>go back and forth between 'yes' and 'no' for a month</em></p>
<p>Dilemma still follows my first choice!!</p>
<p>similar experiences</p>
<p>finding out 800 in IIC- i was at home on the computer all the way upstairs... i read the 800 on CB, and screamed "woohoo!!!" and ran downstairs to tell me mum. i jumped for 5 minutes</p>
<p>800M /2220 on New SAT</p>
<p>in school library immediately after school ended (after gym class)... i was on the computer.. i saw the score... my eyes got really wide (i didnt jump up because i was aware of my surroundings lol) and i was smiling really big. then i printed out the score report. and the printer is behind the librarians desk so she saw it before she gave it to me and was like WOW (i was only a sophmore)... and she said "wanna call your mom?" and something like "the mother in me would want a call from her daughter" so she took me to the little office and called my mum (i cant use the phone, im deaf). and so after that, i ran to the math office to tell all the math teachers lol. and the rest of the day, i told lotsa people. .. they were so shocked</p>
<p>My dream school is the University of Oklahoma, so I'm not going to be too excited about getting in. (It's automatic with over a 26 ACT :))</p>
<p>But if I get NMF, which is a $65k scholarship for OU, I honestly don't know what I will do. Something crazy for sure.</p>
<p>ilovemath, I had the same reaction with an SAT II test. maths 1c and I got 720 (yeah I'm not smart as you) and I was expecting like 620 or something. And I looked at the screen. It said 720. And then I read the whole line: SAT II MATHS LEVEL 2 720. And I was like OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. x20. And then I started bouncing in my chair. And my sister was sitting quite far away but weirdly, I didn't tell her what I got.. I ran down the hallway (<em>EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) and jumped onto my mum's bed where she was reading and I shouted 720! 720! 720! x20.
And then I started saying, I CANT BELIEVE IT! I CANT BELIEVE IT! I CANT BELIEVE IT! O MY GOSH!! O MY GOSH!! x20.
And then my mum's like, "really? wow that's so weird..." and I gave her an evil stare. And then she said, "but wouldn't it have been better if you got 750?" and I gave her an evil double whammy stare. And I left the room feeling </em>*ed off at my mum lol</p>
<p>"and I gave her an evil double whammy stare. " </p>
<p>hahahahahahahaha lol</p>
