How Did You React to Seeing: "You are Admitted...Congratulations!"

Hmm well my first acceptance was UCI, and I checked during school and it wasn’t that big of a deal because it is my safety but I was just happy to have somewhere to go, that somewhere wanted me.
I also got into UCSD, but it was after I got into UCLA so it was exciting but not as cool.
The two big ones so far have been UCLA and USC. UCLA was soooo nerve-wrecking because I was sitting at the hospital waiting room (my aunt is sick), watching the clock tick past 5 o’clock. And then the texts from my friends started asking if I had checked yet. I didn’t get to check until like 6:45…but OMG! I was sitting next to my mom and I logged onto the website. And I just read “Congratulations!..” and I started jumping up and down freaking out! My mom started crying! It was literally unbelievable because most of my school already knew and from the people I knew had/hadn’t gotten in, I was pretty sure I would be rejected.
After spending that night on CC, I found out that USC had mailed out their second wave the same day I got my UCLA acceptance. So the next morning I was sitting in my room reading the CC USC board and I heard the mail arrive. I RAAAAAN down the stairs, tripped, and then ran down another set of stairs to my mailbox. And then I opened the mailbox and there it was, a big, fat package from USC. I ran back upstairs, tripped up the stairs, opened the package and just stared at the “Congratulations!” line. I started freaking out and called my sister to brag because she went there.
Literally, the most amazing 24 hours of my life…
Hopefully, the same result will come of my top choice, UC Berkeley! Ahhhhhh. March 25!
