| A countdown thread to end ALL Countdown Threads!
So we've reached the stage of the game where there are no Thursdays in between now and THE Thursday. Just ONE more Wednesday of aching anticipation! It's the final countdown!
What will you do if you're accepted?  If you're rejected?  Waitlisted? 
I will go get ice cream and play Queen in my car, or sit in my room and play Hawthorne Heights (probably not), and just sit and scratch my head. Respectively.
I will also check all the other decisions I have available.

Accepted: scream for two hours, call everyone i have ever met to tell them, then go to sleep, wake up, pinch myself and scream again, then go to school and skip around telling everyone
rejected: say oh well, not surprising, and wait until six to check Duke, then have dinner
waitlisted: smile, email my interviewer who said she would help in such a situation, and then eat dinner
If you did not notice, i will not eat if i am accepted because I will be so excited I might get sick if I did lol
wow, not much longer....

well i was deferred, so this has all been hell. i'm going back to school (private boarding) tomorrow, and then waiting four days. if accepted you will all hear my scream of ecstacy. i will LITERALLY contact every single human being i have ever come into contact with and tell them.
if rejected, i'll be sad, but hopefully things work out with the other schools.
if waitlisted, i'll be ****ed off. and then it will again depend upon what other schools i'm accepted to.

If I'm accepted, I'll probably start to cry. I won't tell a lot of people, but I'll email the teachers and counselor who wrote me recs and tell them the good news. I'll pinch myself repeatedly and look in the mirror and ask, "Am I really going to YALE?!?!?! ME?!????" Maybe I'll blast Michael Jackson and jump around my room in celebration.
If I'm rejected, I'll cry and tell even less people. I'll (lie to myself and) make a list of all the things that I hate about Yale and why I would get such a much better education at Amherst or Williams.
If I'm waitlisted I'll feel a little better than I would being rejected, but I doubt I would accept a place. Just too much false hope. Bah.

If I'm accepted, I'll probably be really happy and tell people I got in. Then, I will check Duke, my #1 choice, and Brown later.
If I'm rejected, I'll be fine and won't care. I will check other schools online.
If I'm waitlisted, I won't care either.

If I'm accepted I will cry, and I will pray. I have to confess that I was religious but not very much so prior to this application process. This whole process of application, to only to Ivies.. but in general has been very interesting.. I really want to go study to a place where I think I could develop my potential, and having the opportunity to even apply has been simply amazing. But more than that, it's made me realize that God takes you where it's best for you. This whole ride has been truly helped me mature emotionally and spiritually.
I wish you all the best!

My bets friend went to NY to a Coldplay concert. So we'll be speaking on the phone while we open the website and checked whether we are admitted or not.
If accepted: Yikes! I would scream loudly I guess, or I'll become speechless.Definetly emailing my teachers and counselor (altho to be honest the latter was a pain in my arse - in everybodies actually)
If Rejected (won't happen): I'll hang ip the phones and probably start crying. Stop, go and check on Cornell.
If waitlisted (won't happen): I'll feel a slight relief. More time t come fopr the final decision, but still that time would be killing me. I'll guess I would check on the other Unis and their decisions.
OMG I want to get iiiiiin soooo BADLY!!
Wish you all luck guys! hope we all get in, or at least the vast majority of us! In the end, it will all work out just fine, right?
P.S: What would you guys do of you are rejected from all the unis you applied to

Accepted: YAY! I have no idea what I'd do; I'm trying not to get my hopes up about this. I'd probably, like everyone else, tell all the human beings I know that would care. Then, I'd probably stop doing any work I was doing that night and go out and play.
Rejected: Do the same as geniusgen and say "oh well, it wasn't expected anyway." Then I'd proceed to become ecstatic about going to Cal in the fall. But deep inside, I'll start planning on how to transfer.  | |

If accepted - scream, send a mass e-mail, txt message, call everyone, dance, come on here and tell everyone and go back to preparing for my debate competition next Friday.
If rejected - sigh sadly and go back to preparing for my debate competition next Friday.
If waitlisted - say a few expletives and then go back to preparing for my debate competition next Friday.
(The rejected one is probably a bit inaccurate. I'd probably start crying and throw a hissy fit. Call a couple of friends and ask them if they think I'm fat, etc....)

If I'm accepted, I'm not going to bother checking where else I got in.

Accepted: will call longdistance to China to tell ALL my 100+ relatives that I am accepted. No need to check other decisions because--> who cares after my #1 choice already accepted me!
Rejected: oh well, I made a big mistake to take a huge courseload (bigger than anyone else in my school) and another mistake to come to an uber-competitive school that pulled me down.
Waitlisted: indifferent. At least I am not rejected...
Need an acceptance!!!

Accepted: indifferent. That'll last about one week, because I'll be in shock, and then I'll start freaking one day and my family will rush me to the hospital because they'll think I've had a nervous breakdown. Then I'll prance through the halls and tell all the patients that I'm going to Yale.
Rejected: Rats. There's always a managing position at Micky Ds.
Waitlisted: Poisoned rats. I will begin planning for my career at Micky Ds, then if I'm accepted later, I will respectfully decline Yale's offer with the explanation that I've found something more worthy to do with my life.
