<p>" Holy sh "**</p>
<p>I just couldn’t stop screaming. I was so excited when I got into NYU but I almost passed out when USC accepted me.</p>
<p>hrmmm, I did a LOT of reflecting the night before decisions so I was pretty calm about the whole thing. Felt stressed writing the apps but too busy to care afterwards. So when I opened my Penn email and saw “congratulations” it was just like… “hehe” then I realized I should be excited and feigned being a madman for awhile. Then I remembered I should check to make sure that the letter had the right school on it. After finding out it was Wharton, it was kind of like I ran out of energy. Wasted 2 days doing almost nothing after that… Of course, this could have all been because I’ve been sick for awhile but I’m more happy about going to college and having a great experience than the actual decision itself. Just my reaction :P.</p>
<p>oh wow i got into ucr big deal hahahaha</p>
<p>when i got into ucsb i was already set on ucr because my efc came out to 0 and i got a huge grant
so i guess i took all the excitement out of being accepted to the school i didnt think i would get into by choosing the one that gave me all the money…</p>
<p>I stared and stared at the computer. Then I laughed!
It was the only school I had barely thought about. </p>
<p>Ironically, the only school I gave little thought to was the only one I got in, besides my safety.</p>
<p>i guess more relieved than anything else…</p>
<p>When I got into the London School of Economics, I let out a short, shrill scream and pumped my fist. I was in the library, and it was quiet…</p>
<p>And when I found out about Grinnell, I wasn’t that excited…My parents opened my letter and told me over the phone while I was shopping with friends. I was, however, in awe, when my parents told me I had gotten a full scholarship…</p>
<p>Too bad I got rejected from all of my top schools, so that kinda makes me bitter…</p>
<p>When I got into Brown, I wasn’t really sure if I had, because my e-mail had said to check at 5:30 and it was like 5:05. So I IMed the people I was talking to and was like, “I think I got into Brown…” and told my parents the same. >< I wasn’t sure I’d gotten in until I checked after 5:30 and it still said “Congratulations!”</p>
<p>My happiest moment was when I got the actual letter the next day – I apparently had a frickin’ awesome admissions officer, 'cause my letter had a personalized paragraph about my interests. Reading that was definitely the highlight of my high school career. : ) I’ve reread it at least 15 times, lol.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How’d you hear about LSE? My grandparents both went there.</p>
<p>Well, ThisCouldBeHeavn, I was looking for schools in the UK, and it turns out LSE is 3rd ranked (after Oxbridge)…I still have to find out about my financial package from them…</p>
<p>I’m so numb from my high school experience i didnt care at all. I got accepted into all but one of my colleges, which waitlisted me.</p>
<p>Most of my acceptances I took with a smile and a “hell yea!” </p>
<p>But when I got into Rice, I was procrastinating on a paper… as usual and decided to check my email for the millionth time. I still can’t figure out what was going on that day because, I kid you not, I read the email and then closed it, thinking “Come on, back to work” and not realizing that it was my acceptance email I just saw. I’m looking at it now and it has a Congratulations in the title and everything, lol. Bizarre, especially since once I realized what “your application has been approved” meant (I thought that meant they’d only received it) I flipped out… and nearly tackled my 5 foot tall mom who was just watching the history channel, for crying out loud. I still don’t know if I can go to Rice, but getting in was pretty awesome :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah it’s a great school, congrats on getting in. If the price is right, London is an amazing city.</p>
<p>I wasn’t expecting it, so it was a surprise.</p>
<p>I actually received my acceptance through email first. It said admission decision click here. I swear my heart was pounding. I started smiling from ear to ear, then I ran into my sisters room an woke her up to tell her. I could barely contain myself! I received my acceptance letter the next day.</p>
<p>I recieved my Falcon Foundation letter and faxed in my acceptance within an hour. I didnt stop running around my house and screaming for a few hours.</p>
<p>NWP next fall followed by the USAFA</p>
<p>I actually teared up a little.</p>
<p>My grandfather had always told me that college was in my future. He passed away in the summer of my junior year. He always told me I would be a “college success.” I am the first person of my generation to go to college in my family. </p>
<p>Gramps, thanks for everything, you were my biggest mentor!</p>
<p>When I got accepted to Valparaiso University (first choice), my dad was sleeping, so I had to go upstairs. But once I did, my sister and I jumped around and screamed. We screamed even more when I realized how big of an aid package I got.</p>
<p>I didn’t even find out first. I was at a choir concert for school and the admissions office called my house and my parents answered. When I got home there was a poster that my parents made that read “You’re In!” I could barely stand up straight, I was screaming because I was so happy!</p>
<p>The only acceptance that I screamed about was getting the regents letter for UCLA, because it meant that I’M GOING TO COLLEGE. UCLA wasn’t even a top choice, to be honest. For the other acceptance letters that I actually cared about, I celebrated by playing video games, no screaming or jumping around the house involved. :]</p>
