Hey everyone,

Since all kind of strange Threads were created, I thought this one could count too. I am not accepted yet, but can't imagine how I will react to an acceptance letter.... nor have any ideas of what to do that BIG day.

What would you do? WHAT... WOULD... YOU.... DO?!!!!


All sorts of STRANGE ideas are welcomed!!!

 

[Pre-Dent-David]

sleep for 12 hours and then watch tv

 

[aphistis]

I went out for drinks with friends. It was a relief to be accepted...but that letter is just the beginning of a long, if extremely satisfying, road 😉 Best of luck to you, though.

 

[ohcdn]

...and then order out for pizza, and keep the front door open so the delivery guy could hand it to me at my bed...

 

[Mo007]

ohcdn

Now thats something to be considered... That will be on my list. Might as well tell the pizza guy to grab a cold beer from the refridgerator on the way too.

 

[ShawnOne]

When i get my acceptance letter....hmm.....

I would make reservations at my favorite sushi resturant. Go with my fiance and family and order lots of sake, Asahi, and sushi. Eat and drink myself to a stupor, then i would have someone read the letter to me again! 😀

 

[croco]

Order a pizza and suck it down with two ice cold WHITE RUSSIANS!

 

[arns51]

Outback, or some other restaurant that I love, and then many many many drinks, followed up by a horribley hungover day at work the next day

 

[ecdoesit]

i will make sure that i send in my $$$ to reserve the space before doing the things list here.

 

[savvysearch]

First, Id stare at the letter and read it a million times. I would probably start calling everyone and tell them that I got accepted. Then, I would drive to In-N-Out and treat myself to a burger and a Coke.

Then next week, I would go back and forth between nervous and excited as I worry about my deposit getting to the schools.

I will then begin to have nightmares about my deposit being lost or showing up to the first day of school late and being rejected because of it. These dreams will likely go on for months.

 

[Bickle]

When I found out, I had to read the letter twice just to make sure I didnt see something that wasn't there. The first person I told was my mom, I called her and she was pretty much in tears (this while she was at work!). I then called my dad, told him, and then I hit the gym and worked out for 2hrs.

 

[UBTom]

When I got my fat envelope almost four years ago, it was followed by about an hour of somersaults and woohoos.. Gave notice the next day at my job that I'm leaving in two weeks, and got ready to go on a hell of a vacation. Spent two weeks after that touring the countries on the Western Pacific Rim (South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand) before settling down for a nice, relaxing summer. 😀

Then came August and orientation, and I realized that despite the difficulty of the application process, the hard part was just beginning!

 

[ohcdn]

after my meal, i'll get on the next flight out to the bahamas

 

[UBTom]

Great minds think alike-- That's where I'm headed for two weeks after I graduate! 😎

Assuming that I can make the ridiculously tough clinical requirements at my school by next May and pass the NERB licensing exam.. (gulp)

 

[hopefulgirl]

Ohcdn, I will join you......

I will read the letter ten times....call the school to make sure its correct....call and email everyone in the world....definitely cry and scream....then plan a very very long vacation.....

Also, I will burn all my letters of rejections!!

 

[critterbug]

I'm gonna dance a jig at my mailbox. Then I will call everyone and anyone I know and tell them the good news. Then I will proceed to walk up to strangers, shake their hand, and tell them the good news. Then I will tell everyone on SDN. Then I will go to sleep because I will be exhausted (the jig is a hard dance ya know)

 

[critterbug]

Then I will go play golf with my brother at the most expensive golf course I know . I will pay for his since he is a cheap bastid. I will proceed to drink copious amounts of alcohol until I am unable to drive the golf cart. I will then fall asleep in a sand bunker, where I will wake up the next morning, brush off, continue playing golf and will shoot the best round of my life😀

THE END

so id probably just sleep

 

[sallyubc]

HI everybody,

The day I got my acceptance, I was sick at home sleeping and then when I got the news.... I was screaming non-stop at the top of my lungs... I was jumping , crying, loughing... oh my God I think I went crazy that day...
Then I callled my mom at work, she started crying... I called my dad and told him.... then I called my friends...
Then I went out for dinner that night to celelbrate... but here is the funny part..heheheh I got sooooo sick that night that I ended up in the hospital the next day for two days on the morphine heheheh well, it turned out it is an ovarian cyst... my God the pain was horrible that I was mumbling all the time and smiling in my sleep saying " I got in"

Certainly a tough luv for Dentistry... I got it the hard way 😛


But Guys good luck... You will really enjoy this day

 

[ItsGavinC]

You guys know what? I just now realized that I don't remember what I did, so it couldn't have been too wonderful.

At Arizona I was told right as I was leaving the building, but I didn't do anything special.

Most of the schools were the same.

My advice is to enjoy the moment, because soon it will be gone.

Good luck to all you applying -- and celebrate lots!

 

[Mo007]

I would be silent for 30 secs... then go to the mirror and say "YOU THE MAN!!!"

 

[critterbug]

"nah, you da man"....."no, no...you DA MAN"

Just proceed to have this conversation with your mirror, it will be loads of fun

But how does that differ from my everyday scenario? 😉

Who needs mental pictures? I've got the Polaroids! 😀

 

[Balki]

Ok this a a very funny thread.

I'd take my whole family out. Which is going to be a lot of money but what the hell. Honestly can't wait for that moment and hoping it will come soon. I think My mail box is tired of me talking to it everymorning before I leave class.
Balki: "Dude you gonna get me mail today"
MailBox: " Yeah couble of Bills and A WiLLiam"
🙂

I wish you all a great anticipation period, sometimes anticipation is half the fun.

 

[thomasratkin]

It's going to be a 3 keg pool party, ice booze luge,

...... and render justice to sobriety.............😛

 

[Mo007]

... tell the postman to take the rest of the day off.... and do his job for the day...

 

[ecdoesit]

i m sure the mailmen will be so relief.
probably they are more happy than we are
😀

 

[Mo007]

I think you can celebrate early, if your DAT score is like 22/22.... that's just an acceptance itself... so start celebrating after the computer displays your resluts... even hug the machine.

 

[endotom]

I was working in a crummy office estimating for some crummy construction company when I got the call (four days before school started). My boss couldn't believe that I would actually leave this job he trained me for for three whole weeks. Afterall, he told me his dentist drove a crummy old car and he couldn't be making any money at that job.

I went to dental school instead. I celebrated by scrambling to get enough money to buy books and first year equipment. And trying to find a place to live. Guess I should celebrate right now. That was in 1975.

 

[KDBuff]

I'm going to call all of my friends and say "Drinks on me tonight!" Then I'll think about what I just said, and decide, "Wait, I just got into dental school, drinks on you guys tonight!"

 

[PERFECT3434]

oh god, i don't know what to say about this.

i am not gay (i swear), but i know that i am gonna cry myself for an hour when i get that email or call on dec 1st.
if anyone calls me from any schools to tell me i have been accepted, they better cover their ears cuz i am gonna scream.

then, unlike others, i won't burn my rejection letters. i will keep them (especially the one from ohio state) to remind me in the future that no matter what i come across, there will always be other opportunities and those rejection has always motivated me more in the past and it will as well in the future.

ok, i can't talk about celebrating anymore. we have a looooooong time b4 dec 1st is here.

BTW, i could hardly wait to visit sdn on dec 1st to see your good news as well.

 

[Mo007]

I feel you man. Just over 50 days to go until Dec 1.

This place will be flooded with so much Cheers...

 

[arns51]

Yes, I cant wait till everybody's attitude goes from stressed to joyous within a few days

 

[busupshot83]

I would first go tell my family, friends, strangers, anyone... BALKI... maybe a lil' YAH-E action 😛. Then I would contact PERFECT3434 for a crying session with him 😳. After all that crying, comes the partying: me and PERFECT probably would hit up THOMASRATKIN's party , and definitely be on the look out for KDBUFF... cause everyone knows that "drinks are on him tonight!" That's what your boi BUS would do. 😎

Cheers! I'm going to see all of the mean professors in college and punch them square in the stomach. I plan on following that with a monster noogie. Just kidding...

 

[larryt]

well here is mine:

go to the bar and buy everyone there all nite long drinks.

 

[ecdoesit]

let's be professional here.
wait 4 more years
and invite them to your clinic
and to let them see what you can do.

of cos, just kidding.

 

[Mo007]

They should have a REALITY SHOW on pre-dents, keeping track of individuals checking their mail-BOX 24/7.... and the nail biting experience on December 1st for many of us. I am sure guys like croco and PERFECT and many others would fit the right characters for this years pool....

um... Ok, maybe thats not a good Idea!

AHAHAH!

 

[Zurich5]

Haha, I think that would be even better. I didn't even really have any mean professors. Just the one "that likes organic" a little too much, but nothing intolerable. I'll probably be forced thank all of the people that have helped me with my education over the years, namely my credit card and sponsor a banquet. Again, just kidding!

[PERFECT3434]

i say we have a regional party around mid december after most of us have gotten accepted.

i am willing to get together anywhere in CA!!!!

 

[busupshot83]

you bois are great

 

[rcmonkeypie]

Perfect, you have the perfect idea. let's have 2004 entering class party!

 

[critterbug]

I say we have the party in Texas!!

 

[critterbug]

Who's bringin the cristal?

 

[hopefulgirl]

changed my mind...I will pay lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to major newspapers around the world to have my acceptance letter published on their front page!!! In fact I will also pay $$$$$$$$ of dollars to CNN and CBC to announe it as their "Breaking News" !!!

YEAH!!!

 

[PERFECT3434]

i know we all would celebrate and really enjoy it.

the problem is that dec 1 is not a guaranteed day to be accepted. we maybe accepted in dec, jan, or even mar. i still would love to set up a regional party for CA sometime b4 we all go to dental school.

lets plan once all or most of us have been accepted.
