Pre-K: It was a balmy spring evening. I was drinking a small gin and tonic and stuffing larks' cheeks with jamon iberico when my butler brought me the letter on a silver tray.

St. Albans: It was cold. I was upstairs having my anus bleached. I snorted a little Bolivian marching powder in celebration.

Yale: I was whipping the new maid a rolled-up copy of Horse and Hounds - there had been an unforgivable incident with a Ming Vase. Weather: overcast, light rain later.

Harvard Law School: the butler found me asleep in the stables after a large dose of ketamine. In my drug-induced fog I could barely take in the good news. I must have slept with half of Mclean in the course of the next week.

A dozen years later, and IMO this is still the greatest post in the history of DCUM. PP, I hope you are still here.

I was looking for this post today. So hilarious. I hope we're friends, PP

I'd never seen this thread before...truly hilarious!!!

Too soon in admissions season to revive it, my child

Never too soon. This thread should be pinned. Make it happen, Jeff!

I was at home waiting on the mail. My son was accepted in all Big 3 schools for K. I was shocked.

Such memories. Hopefully you'll update us when his Yale acceptance comes thru. Yawn.

Pre-K: It was a cold day. I lived in an apartment and the fat envelope was jammed inside the box. At first I thought it was a magazine, but when I pulled it out, I saw the logo of green children holding hands.

St. Albans: I was having a Christmas open house and my son ran out to get the mail for me. I was holding a tray of stuffed mushrooms when I saw the envelope in his hand...

This is the best one, the one that made it all possible. The greatest comic of all, yet she thought she was being quite serious.

No she didn't. No school sends out acceptances during the Christmas season. Still the best thread on all of DCUM!
