I was just wondering if its okay to scream/shout in excitement? Or should I remain super calm and collective and professional and boring?

I would expect that they are anticipating screaming and shouting..

Im sure they would be really happy to hear your excitement. (to an extent)
Shows them you like their school!

In my opinion, professional enthusiasm is appropriate...I personally wouldn't shriek with excitement...however, I'm sure that doing so wouldn't result in them revoking an acceptance😀

Too cool to lose my cool. 😎

I plan on emptying my 12 gauge super black eagle II if I get the call in the middle of a pheasant hunt wednesday! would that raise some concern or should i just ignore the call?

 

[toothachesdream]

God, I would love the chance to scream at such a high pitch that I break an acceptance callers eardrums!!!! 😉 probably wouldn't do that but you better believe after I hang up.. It's on!!!

I need to get off these forums, I'm struggling.

I'm nearly 100% sure they wouldn't revoke an acceptance for any sort of excited screech. Just do their ears a favor and hold the phone away from your mouth as you scream. 😀!

i would love for an opportunity to scream too! i'm a HUGE shrieker and i'm definitely going to shriek, scream and stomp my feet and cry and all the above if I hear good news...
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i can't concentrate....
i've got a final in 2 days and i couldn't even study during the break and today!!

I think if I got a call on the plane and screamed and shouted, I would probably get arrested, so I guess I will be remaining calm.

they're not gonna take away your acceptance if you scream in joy and they'll probably understand 🙂 lol

good luck~!

They should arrest you for not turning off your cell phone lol...

I am not going to pick up my phone this way it could go to my voice mail so I can savor the moment and prevent myself from unexpected reactions lol

oooh good thinking! ooooor....tap every phone call that comes in post dec 1st and record all your conversations. or if you can't tap your phone line say, "excuse me for a moment while I grab my recorder-i'd like to record this conversation for training purposes or quality assurance"

hahaha......ah what am i doing on SDN? i need to be studying.........

does it matter? its not like they are going to withdraw your acceptance "this kids too loud, forget it"

I was just thinking about like right before take off or right after landing. Or I could use one of those in-flight planes haha.

"Sir, if you don't calm down RIGHT NOW we will have to take away your acceptance!" 😉

Screaming and shouting is definitely acceptable. However, GUYS, please make sure your Y-chromosome is expressed during your shouting fit, because i've heard adcoms have actually rescinded offers because the guys screamed like teenage girls at a Jonas brothers concert.

This sounds like something you made up, actually.

 

[NotPennysBoat]

I just hope I don't start crying. This day has been a long time coming, and if I get accepted the tears could flow.

I've heard they rescinded offers to people that were such tools they believed their friends when they told them incredibly stupid stuff like this.

🙂 Screaming is absolutely positively a-ok !!!
