If my reaction to getting into college is any guide, first I'll cry for 20 minutes. Seriously, I cry when I'm really happy. Then I will call all family members plus my best friends. The conversations will all go like this:

Me: Hi
Family Member: Hello
Me: silence (I'll probably still be crying at this point)
Family Member: Are you okay?
Me: I GOT INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL!
Family Member: Good for you.
Me: I GOT INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL!
Family Member: Why don't you call someone else?

Seriously, when I got into UVA I couldn't stop crying and speak clearly. My mother thought I had been in a car accident.

I didn't get that excited when I got into college. Maybe I just sort of expected it? I don't know. Not to mention my mother ruined it by calling the school, giving my number, and pretending to be me to see if I got in or not and then telling me before I got the package in the mail that I was accepted.
 
1. cry
2. call parents
3. txt the entire phonebook in my cellphone
4. maybe frame that letter?
5. throw a huge party and get drunk for the month? haha
 
Post a thread in the Lounge telling every one of the little elitist, bleeding heart SOBs on here who said I was too insensitive to deserve a med school seat exactly what part of my ass that can kiss.
 
Ill start inviting people to my white coat ceremony.

:barf:
As far as my white coat ceremony is concerned, even I don't plan on attending it. In fact, I'll drink ipecac to avoid having to go.

Drink too much please. Not only will it go along with your avatar, it will release a spot for a more grateful med student.
 
I'm afraid I might get too happy and mistakenly kill myself, lol.

This application process has put my entire life on a major roller coaster, so I will shed some tears, Thank God, call everyone on my phone. Dive into a pool (Even tho I cant swim). Scream my head off in the street.

And if you guyz kno wats good for you, you better go get some trojan condom stocks...cuz im using a boat load of them....wohoo!

How does not wanting to attend a pointless ceremony make me ungrateful? It's basically just a way of making all the shallow and vapid members of the class feel better about themselves. It's public masturbation for the egotists. Oh, I guess that explains why you're so eager to make sure everyone who has ever met you knows you've gotten into medical school.

I dunno, I forgot what I did when I got accepted into my 1st choice college, to be honest....but I'll probably cry, hehe.:laugh: Considering I cried when I got my MCAT results, and they weren't even that outrageous.:laugh:
 
1. re-read the letter/email several times to make sure i got in.
2. call the admissions office to make sure i got in.
3. if steps 1 and 2 seem to confirm i got in, tentatively celebrate while worrying in the back of my mind that someone out there named Bired Stodent is very surprised that he got rejected and is calling the admissions office to follow up and it is only a matter of time before the mystery is solved and the admission is given to its rightful owner.

does anyone else get all paranoid like this when good things happen to them? i always do. it'll probably suck all the fun out of getting the acceptance. oh well, what can i do? its the way im wired.
 
Quit my day job.

Blow my savings by doing a Spanish immersion program for two months.

Go to Beijing to watch the Olympics.

And run around the house (or lab) screaming when I get my acceptance.
 
Tell my hottie wife that she gets to sleep with a doctor.

Have a huge BBQ for all the people who have been supportive.

Start training my replacement at work.
 
Would it be really dorky to frame an acceptance letter? I feel like that would be #4 on my list after a few told-ya-so's, a few fist pumps, and a lot of drinks. I wouldn't even hang the letter, just keep it framed in a drawer. Oh, who am I kidding? It would probably replace my undergrad diploma...
 
probably think it's either a prank call or a fake letter.
 
yeah, I'd scream wherever I happen to be....

then, I'm going to disneyland!

Oh, and I will dine at French Laundry and order the Chef's tasting menu...hmm... 😀😛

I'm so freakin jealous! I would love to eat there at least once.
 
I bet I'll pass out. I'll probably just stare at the letter for a half hour or so in disbelief.

Then I'll text my boyfriend, put on some music and rock out. And definitely buy myself a nice expensive chocolatey Starbucks drink in celebration. mmm.
 
I would first thank a higher power because... while I've applying, I've realized just how competitive and tough it is to get in. There are so many obstacles to cross, so, in my opinion - there must be some good fortune/fate involved for those who get through it all.

And afterwards, I would go home to tell my immediate family, make two calls to close family living elsewhere, call my physician mentor, call six friends, email my LOR recommenders, email two research PIs, email the premed committee staff to thank them .... I'm only telling these select few who deeply care about my aspirations.

And go back to the rest of the day's plan before I got that golden call.

wow I planned it out in so much detail. Gotta be ready when it happens!!
