RD applicants: What will be your reaction?

<p>Accepted: This won’t happen. At all. Never in a million years. Never ever ever ever. EVER. Even after pigs learn to fly. In the remotest chance of remotest chances that acceptance, I’ll hit my head against the wall to make sure that I’m sober and awake. If I don’t awake from my dream, I’ll start crying out of sadness for the 28,000 other people who deserved my acceptance. Wait, it won’t happen. Did I mention that already? </p>

<p>Rejected: YAY! I get a letter from Stanford. Soooo cool. I’ll give it a nice shiny frame too and show it to my kids proudly when I’m older. Yep. Because at least I tried.</p>
