What better way to deal with the anxiety around December decisions than with the joy of song. There are three possible outcomes in Early: Denied Admission, Deferred to Regular Decision, or Admitted. I think the cast of Glee can express reactions to these outcomes best.
(**Full disclosure: I was in show choir in high school. My sister was too.)
Denied Admission: Even if you are sad and angry, a catchy tune and dancing is a win/win. Playing on repeat is encouraged.
Deferred to Regular Decision : Deferred truly does not mean denied, absolutely explore other options and be open minded to alternate routes, but don't give up hope.
Admitted: You declared your love, the feeling was mutual.
