<p>i want a likely letter for Duke so badly!!! has anyone gotten one this year?</p>
<p>When I got mine, I thought I was dreaming and that would wake up soon lol.</p>
<p>My heart rate went up to 172 and I screamed and jumped around.</p>
<p>i got my first acceptance earlier! i made a weird, surprised noise and ran to call my dad who’s on the other side of the world, blabbering incomprehensibly while he asked about my financial aid</p>
<p>When I got my Dartmouth likely letter I screamed. A lot. lol.</p>
<p>Well, first off I had applied for an NROTC scholarship with my choice as Vanderbilt. I would check the status page for the scholarship every day. Finally, I saw Congratulations! and I jumped up and down and then ran downstairs with my laptop in my hands screaming I got it I got it I got it! My dad was in the room and I gave the laptop to my mom, who started screaming, and then I hugged my dad and started crying and shaking. Later that week I received the scholarship package and an acceptance letter to UT Knoxville, which my dad opened while I was at work. I told them I wanted to open my next letter.</p>
<p>Well, a month later, my dad walks into my bedroom on a Saturday afternoon waving a very, very thin Vanderbilt envelope. My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach and I seriously thought I was going to throw up. I brought it to my mom, too scared to open it, and my dad, my twin sister, and I all waited anxiously as my mother neatly opened the envelope. Funny how I couldn’t even open the envelope even though I told my parents not to. Well, I looked away, holding my stomach in despair, and all of a sudden, my twin sister starts screaming and jumping up and down, she having been the first one to see the Congratulations! line.</p>
<p>I exhaled and grabbed the letter, seriously not believing it. But there it was, a big fat we accept you letter to freaking Vanderbilt. It was beyond a reach. And it was ALL PAID FOR already thanks to the NROTC scholarship. Everything fell into place and it felt so great. It had been really worrying me. </p>
<p>Still, over a month later I go to bed every night, thinking “I am going to Vanderbilt!” And that one thought has kept me over the moon. It feel GREAT to be accepted to your top-choice school.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>a month after acceptances… do you still remember how you felt?</p>
<p>Stayed after school with a few friends chilling in the computer lab (they knew i was waiting on the decision). Got it and i was like “OH ***** YEAH” stood up took out my phone and called my parents, texted all my friends who were wondering if i got the decision yet :P. Spent the next hour with friends just talking and being stoked :D</p>
<p>March 26 had been a chaotic day. I had come home to find a thin waitlist letter from Pitzer. I then found out online that I had been waitlisted by Wesleyan, which was not high on my list at all, but the trend still threw a wrench in my afternoon. Then I got a notification from Reed (which was high on my list) notifying me that decisions would be emailed out at 5:00. I eagerly logged on at 5:00 sharp, but there was no email. I refreshed the page over and over for about 20 minutes, but nothing came. I came onto CC, where other Reed hopefuls had concluded that the emails were being sent in alphabetical order. I am a W. I was too nervous to do anything else, so I sat around in college purgatory, refreshing and refreshing until 7:00. Finally I received the email, opened it, read the cutest acceptance letter ever, and fell asleep.</p>
<p>I thought this would be the last of my happiness, and it ended on a bit of an annoying note. But the awesomeness didn’t come until the next morning. I awoke, still feeling totally neurotic in the aftermath of the waitlist conga line and the Reed suspense. My mom nagged me all morning, and I was in a ****-ass mood. Around noon, my mother began calling my name from downstairs. I was really annoyed, and shouted “WAT!?!?!” to which my mother replied, “Don’t you ‘WAT’ me, woman! There’s a big fat envelope from Pomona here!” I hadn’t been expecting to hear from Pomona for another week, let alone get in, and I freaked out. I jumped up and down, ran down the stairs, and opened the envelope. The cherry on top was that I had received enough financial aid that I could actually go, so I ran outside and shouted “Oh my Gawd!” and “It’s furreal!” over and over again like a totally idiot. It was awesome, though.</p>
<p>Ah, it was on a sunday. See, it’s called “THE OFFICIAL BIG FAT LETTER” from Carnegie and that thing was so obese the mailman just left it outside since it didn’t fit in the slot. So that saturday I didn’t see it but sunday morning my mom wakes me up and brings the thing to me saying “you got mail”. I was all blurry eyed and made out “CONGRATULATIONS!” and thought “oh thank god”, sleepily shouted “I’M IN! wait? isn’t it sunday?!?” to my mom, and then fell asleep for another hour (this was at 6AM and my mom’s a morning person while I’m not). </p>
<p>It didn’t hit me till I got a grant paying it all there, in which it took me some moments to process, I then did a little jig, and called my mom explaining it all.</p>
<p>I think my acceptance to UT made me more initially happy because it was like “HELL YEAH! I’M AT LEAST GOING TO COLLEGE AND BEING AN ENGINEER!!!”</p>
<p>I obsessively checked CC for any information on when decisions for Pomona College were coming out (like every hour). I was deferred EDII so I was REALLY anxious to see what the decision was…
So I come back from dance class at like 10am and this guy who lives next to Pomona says he got waitlisted, and I live like an hour away so I KNOW I’m getting it in the mail today. So basically from 10am to 1230pm I’m freaking out in my bedroom trying to keep myself preoccupied. I finally decide to go watch a movie because it would pass the time faster, and on my way to the TV, I hear this little vehicle trying to make its way up a hill (I live on an incline). Knowing its the mailman truck I SPRINT to the front door, tear it open and run down to the mailbox where the lady is still putting the mail in the mailbox. I saw her putting some papers together in her hands - I saw a big envelope but I didn’t see a Pomona sticker anywhere. So my heart fell a little. BUT the lady drove off without putting the mail in our mailbox - she had already put our mail in the mailbox!
So I looked in the mailbox - saw a couple of big envelopes and saw POMONA CLASS OF 2014 on a big one and I screamed and ran inside the house! I was so excited I left the front door open and ran straight into my parents room. And then…I started to shake because I realized I had gotten into my DREAM SCHOOL!</p>
<p>I hope everyone gets at least one acceptance through the mail, because its so much more fun than waiting for a page to load!</p>
<p>I saw it as a sign that I was going to be rejected from MIT.</p>
<p>But it was pretty exhilarating seeing the topic of the email: “Cornell Diversity Hosting Weekend” 
= Likely letter</p>
<p>This is my favorite thread ever!</p>
<p>Hope the thread can be revived this admission season…</p>
<p>I’ve gotten 2. Both were safeties, I didn’t really care but felt relieved</p>
<p>I hope I can get this feeling :/</p>
<p>I was sitting in my room and just realized I had fever when the phone rang as my friend, who also applied to Georgetown, called me to let me know that he did not get in. I wasn’t expecting the decisions to be already out as they did not specify the exact date/time. I ran to my computer and opened up my email. I saw the message with the subject: Decision Letter. I opened it up and read the first paragraph:
“It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Committee on Admissions has voted to accept your application for admission to Georgetown University. I am happy to offer you a place in the first-year class…”.
It did not say congratulations so I had to re-read it a couple of times. I started crying and because I was sick it was pretty awkward. But when the financial aid email arrived three days later, saying that I’m not getting any aid, it was like the worst rejection letter you can imagine, although I was kinda expecting it. When you were already that close. You were already accepted. And then, no, you can’t go. Awful. And in addition to that, I have never received an acceptance package/acceptance letter in the mail fro Georgetown:(</p>
