What are your plans next Friday at 3pm?

Just thought it would be fun to see how people plan to open their decision next
Friday? Are you going to wait until you are alone? Are your parents planning to be there with you? Are you staying home from school or waiting until later in the day to check?

Just curious....As for me, I plan to wait until I get home from school that day.

3 PM EST right? I'm planning on getting on a computer during lunch break at school and checking it. I'm simply too impatient to wait any longer. Heck I might even check whether or not I got admitted during class.

I'll check in my room with the doors closed. If I don't get in, I'm going to sit in the closet and cry.

I'll be coming home from school early, probably around 2:00, then shutting myself in my room and watching Saturday Night Live until the decision, and then I'll check, and if I get in I'll keep really quiet and try to find a fun way to tell my family (while simultaneously buying a TON of penn apparel), and if I don't I'll just sit there, silently, for a couple of hours. Then cry. Ohhhhhh godddddd

I'm actually going to be in the Quad with my friend. If I get in I'm going straight to Penn Bookstore and buying a hoodie. If not... not too sure what I'll do. My mom said I'm not allowed to cry aha.

I'll check in between classes and then either not pay attention for all of Calc because I'm so excited or because I'm so disappointed that I got rejected/deferred.

My school ends at 3:40 PM, and then I have a half hour train ride back home. (I don't plan on checking at school or on a phone.)

That's going to be the worst train ride of my life.

I agree with blueee and samesies. On Friday I have a theater competition in which my school's drama club compete against other high schools in South Florida by performing a one-act play. I am in the play. We are scheduled to perform at 4:00 p.m. I don't know how the heck I plan on performing knowing that a decision lies there for me.
I will wait to check until I get back home, lock the door with NO ONE in the room at all. Watch a UPenn promotional video, get excited about Penn, light a prayer candle and pray, then CHECK! I'll have my eyes shut as I click log in the squint to see what it reads.

Since I live in California, it'll be up by afternoon.. I get home by 1:00-ish on Fridays so.. I'll check on my desktop (in the living room), and if I do get in.. I'll plan something for the next 5 days, since I told my parents results come out on the 15th.

I'm going to do something for them for being with me and encouraging me through all these years!

If I don't get in.. I'll just tell my parents I didn't get in and finish my other private school applications.. no big deal. No use in sulking. Time is precious!!
