<p>when i saw that i got into yale i was like…W T F</p>
<p>When I was rejected from Princeton and Yale I thought for sure I would be rejected from Harvard as well. It took an hour and a half to get the email though, so I tried logging on to the admitted student’s website, and I got in. I didn’t know what to do or if it was a mistake, so when I finally got the congratulatory email, I literally sobbed/laughed for about two hours straight.</p>
<p>Well… I was LITERALLY checking my e-mail every 15 minutes in school that week (3’rd week of March). I’ve never been that EXCITED for anything in my life. When I got home from school later in the week, I logged into all of my college accounts, and my UCSD one took me to a different page. I wasn’t expecting anything different, and saw the pictures of five people jumping, but the wires didn’t connect. It was when I read, “On the behalf of the University of California, San Diego, and of Revelle College, I would like to extend my congratulations…” that I realized what was going on. </p>
<p>Reaction:
-EEEEEEEP! (This was audible)
- OH MY ******* GOD! YES!!!
<em>Runs in circles, jumping and laughing</em></p>
<p>haha,</p>
<p>soo… whats the fa packet? lol</p>
<p>My was at a LIBRARY
as I was checking my e-mail I got an e-mail that said “Your status has changed, go check it!”</p>
<p>so I did… and I get this nice welcome screen in blue letters that says </p>
<p>“You have been admitted…”</p>
<p>and I was just like
“Yes, all my dreams…”</p>
<p>And I laughed hysterically for about 10-15 minutes while everyone was like
“W T F is up with that guy?”</p>
<p>I get home.
Parents aren’t at the abode.
I tend to the dog, feed him, whatever, and check the mail. I sort through. There it is. Big letter from Colgate. I don’t even open the letter and I flip a **** (for lack of a better phrase), running all over the place, singing songs and acting like a total idiot. Then I opened the letter, ran around even more, read the personal statement and flipped out, and read the Financial Aid info and just spazzed out.</p>
<p>It was fantastic.</p>
<p>i started laughing so hard that i fell off my chair and started kicking my legs up in the air. i dont think i spoke for five minutes. just laughed. and said “Oh My God!” over and over again.
My mom came into the room, read the letter, and yelled “UCLA!” then she called my dad but she had to tell him the news because i was still laughing too hard to talk!
:)</p>
<p>Lol, I’ll write about Stanford because it’s the most exciting story and the only college that I REALLY wanted to get into…okay, so people on CC were talking about how some could get into Axess (Stanford student site) while others could not (and those who could hadn’t been able to get on the week before, thus, we thought the office of admissions may have uploaded info onto the site). I got home from school and showed my mom and she was like, “hmmm, I wonder…” but said not to get too excited because we’d know for sure soon. So, right as she walked away (literally right after she said that) a little box in the bottom right hand corner of my screen said, “Your Stanford Admission Decision”. I as like, “Oh no, should I open this?” I hesitated, opened, and freaked out because I had gotten in! I’m going to Stanford University!</p>
<p>Southwestern - “YAY I FINALLY HEARD FROM SOMEWHERE!”
Notre Dame - "OH. MY. GOD. <em>jumps up and down, screams and calls dad</em>
Trinity - “Cute admissions letter. It sounds like a proposal. Not going though.”
TCU - “FINALLY. Stupid admissions officers losing my transcript…”
Rice - Waitlisted. “Whatever. They hate Houstonians.”
Davidson - Waitlisted. “I wasn’t rejected! Yay!”
Northwestern - Best story. I was in my school’s library, checking my email, when I saw the famous (or infamous) “Your Northwestern Admission Decision” email. I hesitated, then clicked on the link. When I read the “Congratulations,” I wanted to scream, but knowing that I was in a library, I punched my arms, danced in my chair (I probably looked like I was having a seizure) and immediately had to tell someone, so I ran up to the librarian and whispered, “I just got into Northwestern! The Medill School of Journalism!” And she let me call my parents.
It’s basically the best feeling ever - thinking “I got into <em>insert school of choice here</em>!” Over and over again.
My parents are still thinking about the financials, but I really think I’m going to Northwestern. Yay!</p>
<p>I suppose I’ll answer in chronological order.</p>
<p>Safety (mail): “Hmm. Ok, cool, I guess”
NYU (mail): “Wow, NYU is a great school! This is awesome!”
Brandeis (mail): “Waitlisted?! What the hell?”
George Washington (online): “Good, now I have some choices”
Georgetown (mail): “OMG, I got into Georgetown! HAHAHA, I have to call my mom!”</p>
<p>March 31: The Day I had been waiting for 
Brown (mail): "YES! I made it into an IVY! HOLY CRAP, FULL RIDE!!!
Harvard: (online): “■■■■ I GOT IN!!! I GOT IN, I can’t believe it!”
Columbia (online): “Rejected? WHO CARES, I GOT INTO HARVARD!” I started laughing when I got the rejection, I soooo didn’t care.</p>
<p>Epic Freakout</p>
<p>Well, I have two good stories :)</p>
<p>1: My Brandeis acceptance. I was so disappointed when it didn’t come on Saturday, because I wouldn’t be home until 8:30 pm on Monday, when the letter would arrive in theory. Luckily, my brother didn’t have school that day, and so I made him swear that he would leave me a message about the decision, whatever it may be. Well, at the end of the school day, I didn’t have a text or voice mail, and I freaked, thinking that I got bad news and so my brother didn’t want to tell me. So, I went to orchestra feeling a little dejected, but then 20 minutes later I got a text, just saying “Big envelope from Brandeis!!” And I shrieked just a little bit, and dropped my mallets and sheet music all over. And my conductor insulted my intelligence (lovingly) and my friend in orchestra celebrated with me! </p>
<p>2) My best friend’s WashU acceptance: I accidentally informed her that decisions were out, and felt bad because I was worried she would get bad news, since she was deferred ED. So I went to the library to go check with her. And she logged on, and right before she clicked on her decision link, sighed about how I ruined her chances at having a good day… and then she got in! And I think I was even more relieved than she is- WashU was a big reach for her, but she loved the school so damned much, and she’s such an amazing person.</p>
<p>So, sorry for the novels- but they were good days indeed :)</p>
<p>So March 31st, I know that the ivies are coming out. So I check at the end of school, see a Cornell waitlist and Princeton rejection :(. So I leave school, and when I get home I comfort myself by reading my Rice and Cal acceptance letters again. Then I check my computer and see in my email “Your Stanford Admission Decision.” I thought this was a rejection/waitlist, because I heard that if you got in, it said congratulations in the subject line. So I was like “oh well” and opened it, only to read that I was accepted! After reading it all again to make sure I didn’t misread something, I ran around the house screaming and called my mom and told her. It was the school I wanted to get into the most by far (the “dream” school) and I was completely pumped. I didn’t care about any of the other waitlists/rejections after that, life was all good.</p>
<p>Duke accepted- First reaction, oh well cant afford it whatever</p>
<p>Cornell accepted- first reaction, oh well cant afford it whatever</p>
<p>Purdue accepted- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Finally a place I can actually go to.</p>
<p>Well when i got my first acceptance from amherst i was super excited and smiling but i kinda new that i would get in and then i got 3 acceptances in a row and then the rejection started pouring in from hopkins, colgate, brown, vanderbilt and i felt shattered and worthless and i didnt cry right away. i read the rejection letters over and over again and a week later i cried when i realized that the accpetance thing was coming to an end and i didnt get into my top school Brown. But now i am contempt knowing that i have been accepted to some great schools and i will be jappy no matter where i go!</p>
<p>^ “But now i am contempt knowing that i have been accepted to some great schools and i will be jappy no matter where i go!”</p>
<p>Classic typos, lol!!!</p>
<p>I saw this giant letter from USC and thought, “oh great, more financial aid crap, im sending it okay!”, then i opened it and it said congratulations! and that i got in with my major=) i started to jump up and down and cried, meanwhile my mom stared at me quizzingly… yep that was the best acceptence letter, my other ones were online and i got rejected from harvard and princeton, but i got on the stanford waiting list, which wasnt super exciting so yeah… im glad i had my freak out when i did because if not i would have missed that awesome feeling of accomplishment</p>
<p>I was super happy. Then I saw I was admitted for Winter Quarter 2010… 
UCSD</p>
<p>when i got my USC acceptance…oh i jumped around. :]</p>
<p>when i got my UCLA acceptance…i crieeeeed and jumped and screamed and hugged everyone!</p>
<p>when i got the Berkeley one… i looked at my teacher and turned the computer screen her way… i was speechless, and then everyone saw and started hating on me cuz they got rejected. but i was speechless :]</p>
<p>i was so excited. & Chicago State was my 1st choice school. i was so excited b/c i dont have a high GPA and ACT was like average, below average kinda and i really didnt have any hope beside the community college (ICC) and i definitely wasnt tryna stay in my hometown</p>
