I always liked this video...
Personally, I was out of the country on a VIDA trip when acceptances were mailed, and was resigned to just checking the mail when I was stateside again.
And then I got an email from our admissions department about an "accepted students reception" or something like that, and just went, ooohhhh boy. I think I just got into vet school?
Definitely refused to get excited until I had the piece of paper in my hand that confirmed it, trolled my mother about having "bad news" for her, and probably got dinner or something.
All things in my life are usually slightly complicated and anticlimactic.
