<p>lol, I don't think Greg minds...and besides, this is a much better way of looking at it - keeps us sane for the next month or so...</p>
<p>oh glorious day.</p>
<p>Oddly... right now all I can think of is the election, not getting into or rejected by Columbia. I just hope that Kerry wins...</p>
<p>I applied with no intention of getting in. I simply needed to waste my ED somewhere and figured, "why not columbia?"... lol no pressure what so ever ^_^.</p>
<p>If I do get in though... it'll be the biggest joke in the world AND I will buy you all ice cream.</p>
<p>Haha, it doesn't matter...rejection, acceptance, it's all good. </p>
<p>My acceptance plan?
Celebrate with a lot of friends (and buy dinner for one of them, heh).<br>
Talk to the teachers who wrote recs for me. Fantasize about New York. Listen to Kraftwerk (I listened to Computer Love obsessively while in New York winter of sophomore year...it's now totally associated with NYC in my mind). Then go off to Germany to spend Christmas with my dad. Yell at my mom for not caring where I go to college, just so long as she gets off cheap. Skip class the next day, walk around, tour my old haunts (Wisconsin winter notwithstanding). Ruin my attendance record in general. Chainsmoke half a pack of Black Djarums.</p>
<p>About that election....yeah, chances are we'll get our letters before we find out who the president will be.</p>
<p>Kerry Edwards 2004</p>
<p>heh mag00 : we're all gonna hold you accountable to that! (i like chocolate chip cookie dough on a freshly made sprinkle cone toppled with fudge and oreo bits :-D) o yes, double scoop.</p>
<p>LOL @ antisthenes's comment on the election...I sure hope Nader wins by a landslide so we don't contemplate about the two candidates =) j/k.</p>
<p>ditto on glory's master plan...almost the same for me, I think I'll make 100 photocopies my acceptance letter and staple them all around my room..hehe</p>
<p>this whole change of topic from "how to deal with rejection" to "what would you do if you get in" really deserve the moderator's ULTIMATE power to change thread name..haha</p>
<p>time for a new change of tide.......How to Deal With Deferrals</p>
<p>r deferrals like waiting list?</p>
<p>a little different, in that your ticket to being admitted won't depend on the matriculation of other student. Basically when you get deferred you become a RD applicant.</p>
<p>heh deferral...to me, that's worse than outright rejection in a certain way...i guess it's a bruise to the ego more than anything else - Even if you got deferred then accepted, there's always that subconscious(or very conscious) questioning of why you weren't good enough the first time around and then you feel rather alienated from the people that did get accepted. </p>
<p>lol, but then again, I think I'd be joyeous regardless of when the acceptance letter comes, just so long as it does. To use Contessa's trademark : I <3 Columbia. :-)</p>
<p>If I get deferred, I'll just sigh and assume I won't get in to Columbia. Oh well.</p>
<p>I <333 columbia</p>
<p>deferred? probably i would hyperventilate, and then get the princeton app ready</p>
<p>if i get rejected im going to forget i applied to columbia....but if i get in...im gonna buy that blue columbia flag for my room , that deck of playing cards with the columbia logo and some sweatshirts :)</p>
<p>If I get rejected, I'm going to have to throw away that Columbia sweatshirt and playing cards...</p>
<p>....Man, I'm so scared.</p>
<p>if i don't get in (which i dont want to think about) i think i wont get out of bed for about six weeks!</p>
<p>and if i do get in.. as soon as i find out (whatever time of day it is) my friends are taking me out for a wild time!
and seriously if i do get in.... i wont be able to close my mouth - i'll be ecstatic.. jumping with gleeee!!!
if i get in i'll by everyone drinks!!!! :)</p>
