So I have decided to tell my loved ones of my acceptance or denial by cake. I plan to take the family out to dinner, and at desert have the resteraunt bring out a cake with a picture of my acceptance or denial letter in the icing. Anybody else have any wild ideas?

You would actually bring your family to a restaurant and present them with a cake with a rejection letter in it?

Dude...don't forget the camcorder!

Wha??

I'd leave the rejection letter OUT of the cake. Sounds like a good idea only for an acceptance letter.
 
Would only do it after hearing from all the schools, heck yeah I'd put a rejection letter on a cake. Hopefully won't have to. Even thought about if I get accepted, making up a fake rejection letter and having two cakes, bringing the false one out first followed by the real one. Guess I'm the only one who thinks of this crazy stuff.

i would tell my parents that i'm joining the army and giving up on medical school. then give them the acceptance letter
 
I do like the cake idea too. But for my rejections, I will just create a Wall of shame in my apartment and post all of them them up. Will probably consume copious amounts of alcohol to numb the pain 😉 I would call my parents later to break the news to them. Later after the pain has subsided I will throw my letters in a bonfire. I plan to have a fire extinguisher on hand too.
If I am fortunate/blessed/lucky to be accepted somewhere :xf::xf: I will take my family out to the Cheesecake factory.
 
I fed my rejection letters to my golden retriever.

Had friends do shots with me as I told them about my acceptance.

I'm going to share my acceptance letters "Flashdance" style.

What a feeling!
 
LOL

I have a funny scene in my head with your trying to mime the words, "We regret to inform you..." That sounds like a hell of a good time! 😀

For the rejection I'll make a knuse with the schools name on it lol

For acceptance, well. i still dont know...0
 
If I get in I'm throwing a "Danimjo is going to medical school weekend of debauchery" --- Renting a beach or lake house and inviting the whole crowd it's gonna be rowdy! 🙂

If I get rejected I think I'll go out for mojitos and queso and talk about all the reasons why medical school is bad idea.
