When I was there interviewing, the guy I stayed with told me that the president of his class was accepted to Tulane the DAY BEFORE orientation started. He got the acceptance phone call, told them he'd be there the next day, walked up to his boss and quit, and hopped the next flight to N'awlins. He lived in a hotel for the next week, and his parents had to pack up all his stuff for him and drive it down.
