<p>the original post doesn't even make sense..isn't the fat letter for the acceptees?</p>
<p>I have a feeling super will be accepted. They need eccentric people to make us ultra-geeks look normal by comparison. But about the pizza anyway. bacon in a pizza, what is next? cheese?</p>
<p>The original post, ivyleaguechamp, was meant to draw attention by implying that the poster was sure he'd get in. Then it was supposed to be ironic when, instead, the post said that his envelope would be fat because it would have extra copies of the rejection letter for his whole family. It was supposed to be ironic. ...Unless you were being sarcastic when asking that question, in which case forget I just said that. ;)</p>
<p>Also, I'm not a big pizza person, but I do remember when I was younger I would eat only pizza that had bacon and broccoli on it. Which sounds strangely appealing to me now, and I don't know why.</p>
<p>the only way i would even eat broccoli was on pizza with bacon. </p>
<p>i really want a big fat envelope. really really really
i read the thread from last year and wow.... not looking hopeful . :(</p>
<p>those guys last year were soft. they didnt deserve to get in</p>
<p>You're right! We're winners! We're extroverted! We're gregarious and outgoing (repetitive, i know). We deserve this!!!!!!</p>
<p>Well, last year, out valedictorian and saledictorian both applied early to Yale and were deferred, but they recieved fat enveloped because it had information on reapplying to Yale regular decisions (i think). How decieving. They just need to write on the envelope your decision or something. Oh dear, 22 more days...</p>
<p>welll. i didnt bother reading all the responses.. but lets just say.... that guy is sad...</p>
<p>but on a postive note... around 30 - 50% of all those EAers will become yale bulldogs in 24 days? soo...... there will soon be a lot of yalies here!</p>
<p>how do you figure 30-50%?</p>
<p>30 to 50 % was back in the early desicion days. I think that scea they only take like 16%</p>
<p>Princetonwannabe....do schools actually do that? I didn't think they were that evil...</p>
<p>I know this is off topic (it used to be the topic) but, broccoli is good on pizza if it's with spinach. have you had the stuffed spinach/broccoli pizza (not really stuffed, but it has thick crust) at sbarro's?</p>
<p>Chidimma, that was the topic but only halfway through, this is one crazy thread. But I think this year they might take more than 16% since they had a decline in applications.</p>
<p>pineapple is good on pizza. that's all i have to say. haha.</p>
<p>Jaman, the decline in applications was only by 3%...maybe they'll accept 17%, which is better than 16%...but not by much. Again, my pessimism. Sorry</p>
<p>theres a difference between pessimism and realism.
realism is saying that the decline in applications was insignificant and that they MIGHT accept 17% instead of 16% .
pessimism is saying "im so sure they are going to reject me that theyll send me extra copies of my rejection letter"</p>
<p>Just something to think about: Yale recommends that RD applicants get their applications in by Dec 15, don't they? So they should already be receiving plenty of regular applications, and I'd assume based on that they could make a few assumptions as to how many regular applications they'll end up getting based on numbers from past years. That said, my guess is that the number of RD applicants has more of an effect on the percentage accepted EA than the number of EA applicants. (Or I could be totally missing something here.)</p>
<p>I don't think that they can rely on RD apps a lot, because they recommend that you send the EA by october 8 but you all know that most people run to the post office in order to make the deadline.</p>
<p>haha!!!!!!!!! I know those people... lol :)</p>
<p>Obviously they wouldn't receive anywhere near all of the applications by the 'suggested' date, but the number they do receive by then would be indicative of what's to come, right?</p>
<p>it's hard to estimate what percentage of people are going to get their applications in early. it probably varies significantly from year to year in every college</p>
