What do you do to celebrate getting an acceptance?

I danced a little jig , and then tried to slap myself awake to make sure it wasn't a dream.

Sat down so that I didn't hyperventilate. Also not to get too mushy but me and my step-dad embraced which has never happened before.

While I smiled and felt relieved I got into medical school, I didn't really celebrate other than telling my family, close friends, and my significant other about it. It only gets harder as time goes on. I'll finally celebrate once I actually become a practicing physician.

There's going to be another long (at least) 7 years in medical school and residency. I can't wait to get through all of this!

There is already a thread about this if you want to read through a couple of them, but I won't believe my acceptance until my white coat is put on me. Hahaha

Yup, still in disbelief now. Keep thinking...is this the real life?

 

[Dr. Death]

Went to class. Two months later I am still in disbelief. I'll believe it when I'm sitting in a med school classroom

Hookers and blow?

I found out I was accepted wile working a shift in the ER. Five minutes later we had a patient come in with explosive diarrhea. Now, one of the best moments of my life is forever connected to explosive diarrhea.

Took me 5 mins to calm down after I received the great news

High-5'ed/hugged my mom
Called my SO
Told my boss/recommenders/advisors/close friends
Drank a beer with my friends
Had a little party with champagne with my boss/co-workers

Never got anywhere close to "schwasted" because since I'm a non-trad, in my best Murtaugh voice, "I'm too old for this $hit" haha
I, along with my fellow taxpayers, am going to invest a lot of time and $$ on what I have inside my cranium for many years haha #responsibility

 

[Mad Jack]

I played more Payday 2 and LoL while I still had time, because seriously, once I got that acceptance my clock started counting down.

It seems like a blessing, but remember, your acceptance is day 1 to the countdown of the end of your freedom.

I got a 6 pack, started celebrating, and next thing I remember was that I was holding a Remy Louis XIII bottle on my hand (forgot who gave me it) and finished it. I was an idiot and gave everyone a shot when that bottle was worth like 3 grand. Oh well. Best night of my life though.

 

[DoReMiFaSo]

1. Hugged my SO. My parents were out of town then, so couldn't celebrate with them too :[
2. Then sat down cuz I felt dizzy d/t euphoria out the wazoo
3. Called this fancy 15-course meal by chef selection BYOB restaurant and made a dinner reservation for 2
4. Dressed to the nines and arrived at the restaurant with a bottle of champagne
5. 15-course meal ensued. We finished the whole bottle!
6. Called my parents the next day morning and told them 3 things:

• I have a headache cuz I drank too much last night
• I'm going to med school!!!
• Expect a 200$ bill from Restaurant X ;]

Sit at my parents' house and have my dad continue to tell me to join the military to pay for this/get mad when I tell him I'm not interested in the military, because he doesn't understand that med school debt is not abnormal

@Giovanotto So far I've gone all over the states and London. I'm going to Dubai and India next!

 

[The Best Psychiatrist]

When the lady called me with the good news, I screamed "WOOHOOO" into the phone.
I probably damaged her eardrums, but it's okay because I'm going to be a doctor lol.

As for celebration. I just told a few peps and called it another day lol.

 

[Dr Tony T. Chopper]

Sipped my coffee with a hearty chuckle as I was assaulted tirelessly by the icy Nevada winds. GO TUNCOM!

 

[crazyboi1993]

I actually decided to go on vacation to South Beach, and partied there
