First I'd scream really loudly and jump around.

Then I would put it on facebook in the least bragging way possible, but still in such a way that lets interested people know that I got in.

Then I would go out to eat somewhere fun.

Also, I already arranged for my mom to order a Yale sweatshirt. If I get in, she will give it to me on December 15th. If not, she will mail it back and I won't have to know that it even existed .

^LOL.

I have not applied yet but hopefully i will next year SCEA.

Oh gosh, if i got accepted, i would panse my own teachers and go streaking. And i wouldn't care what ppl would think of me as because i would never see them again after attending Yale (if i got accepted, that is).

Oh geez, in my dreams... well, first my mom or brothers would have to force me to open the mail (it will definitely take over an hour), then... if I were accepted?

In order:
-I'd scream at the top of my lung in my chair
-hug anyone that is within my reach
-run out into the cul-de-sac screaming (even more) "I GOT INTO YALE!!"
-run back in and phone my dad and brothers (who cares if it's 3AM in Korea when I call? It's YALE. >D Bwahaha.)
-demand a long overdue Nintendo Wii from my brothers
-go on a food spree
-stare at my acceptance letter for a little while longer
-watch movies all night (who cares about school at this stage?)
-sleep, if at all.
-wake up, go to my teachers, tell them the good news, and thank them.

I got it allll~ planned out.

I imagine my D would say..."oh, there MUST be some mistake"!

(She actually got an early "congrats on your National Merit" letter from a college, that turned out to be a MISTAKE. I think they sent it to all the commended students who listed this college for notification. Fortunately, it turned out she was a semifinalist anyway...and we knew that going in...but can you imagine how that felt to the students who were only commended, awaiting their status with baited breath, told by this college they'd made it, probably celebrated, then..."Oh, no...Just Kidding, my bad".

I would dance to the song that plays (on the Eli account, admits get a big blue screen with a Bulldog on it and music plays ), probably cry (real men cry), pray, thank God, run out into the street and yell, run back inside and tell my sister and mother, call my brother, send a text to everyone in my phonebook, post it on Facebook, join the Yale '14 group, and keep refreshing the page and listening to the music, cry some more, call Yale and tell them that I accept the offer of admission, then pray some more, and jump around some more as well
