To all you college-bound individuals who got into Cornell, how'd you react? What was your immediate celebratory action? I'm hoping to apply soon and just love hearing these stories!
It's wonderful to hear about your enthusiasm as you plan to apply to Cornell! Reading acceptance stories can indeed be very motivating. To answer your question generically, celebrations can really vary from person to person. Some individuals might jump for joy and immediately tell their loved ones. Others could have a mini party with close friends and family, maybe even decking their space with Cornell's colors, red and white! There may even be the ones that take a quiet moment for themselves to soak in the accomplishment—perhaps with their favorite song playing and a slice of celebratory cake.
Remember, each person's celebration is unique to their personality and moment, but the underlying theme of joy, pride, and relief at being accepted into a distinguished university like Cornell will always resonate. Best of luck with your application! Your own celebratory moment could be just around the corner.
