Poll: If I get in to my top choice...

[Joel418]

Since several of these options could easily be combined, I'm setting the poll to allow folks to vote for two. Enjoy!

[miratrix]

I am not sure what my top choice is, so I would react the same way to pretty much any admission with funding:

1) Call my mother, and possibly father even if it's the middle of the work day

2) Celebrate with friends AND large quantities of alcohol

3) Immediately make a list of all the reasons I can think of NOT to go there and make an appointment to talk to someone from the program about all of the reasons that are in the program's control (this comes from not having a top choice - some places have better locations, some have better funding, some have better research matches, etc.).

[freefallen]

Haha, totally would scream.

I like your #3 miratrix, I'll probably do that too.

[t_ruth]

tell anyone and everyone

[ec86]

I am going to punch a hole through the wall, but the closest thing on the poll was "Scream".

[adaptations]

I'm actually assuming I will combine at least 4 of these.

Scream - YES

Celebrate with friends and family - YES

Cry - Possibility

Celebrate with large quantities - More likely than not

Celebratory Dance - YES

Perhaps I will have some sort of ritual sacrifice - just for good measure.

So i got accepted to my top choice. I did scream... and I went out with my buddies the same night and get trashed ...

[linden]

Mine is not on here.

If I get into my top choice, I have permission to break the family budget and buy three pints of Haagen Dazs ice cream.

The, I will buy a hat, shirt, sweatshirt, car bumper sticker, scarf, mug, etc... with the school's name, just to make sure everyone knows I got in.

[aec]

Ooh, yeah, a trip to the interwebs to buy school related items is a must.

[socialpsych]

Ritual sacrifice is KEY.

[willtherebestars]

I literally cannot imagine what I would do. Something about going to the nicest Spanish restaurant in town and enjoying several tapas and sangr

[dragynally]

1. Tell my mom

2. Post it on facebook

3.Go out to dinner w/ mom

4. Call my girls

5. Write to my profs

6. Go out to dinner w/ girls

7. Buy something from said school

8. Scream

9. Sleep

In that order

[Tonights]

I think if it happens for me, I'm going to stand there in stunned shock, call everyone I know, and then go out for margaritas.

[anythingtwice]

I'll either pass out and/or run up and down the halls of my apartment building screaming for joy (and then have to get let back into my apartment because I'm sure I'll have forgotten my keys in the process). Then call my parents, even if they're at work. And if it's during the day I'd probably go barrelling across campus to tell all my professors and the folks in student affairs and anyone else I run into. Then I'll probably be exhausted and pass out again, but a celebratory dinner at some point would of course be in order. :-D

[Hopelessly_Neurotic]

I would totally scream and jump around and be generally obnoxious/incoherent....but afterward I would definitely go out to eat somewhere I love....and definitely would have a few drinks!!
