<p>I want to be a fish! o.o</p>
<p>Maybe we’ll all be specially chosen big fishes in the pond and then grow up to become nice fat bulldog-looking fish! Haha =]</p>
<p>When they post decisions do you think they will send an e-mail too? I can’t sit here all night refreshing the page! haha. Anyone else freaking out?!</p>
<p>I posted this in another thread but having been there as a parent just a few years ago, I thought I’d share a few thoughts.</p>
<p>My son was accepted to Yale in 2004 the first year of SCEA which is still known as “the bloodbath.” If you take the time to go back and look through CC archives you will see plenty of 4.0/1600 (old score) applicants that were rejected just as you see them now on the threads for Penn and other schools that have already released their ED decisions.</p>
<p>It is important to keep one thing in mind, and I really do know this is difficult to do, but admissions to Yale (or any other highly selective school) is a crap shoot at best. At one Yale info session we attended we were told that over 95 % of all applicants are truly qualified for admission to Yale.When you consider that the admit rate is somewhere around 7% historically that means that 93% of the 95% of qualified applicants do not get accepted. They could fill a class several times over with 4.0s and 2400s but in their words that “would be a very boring class” and the one thing they strive to do is to make the class "interesting’…again their words not mine.</p>
<p>My son attended a private school with 82 grads in the class. Yale had been his dream school since the eighth grade and when he was accepted SCEA it was the happiest day of his life. Ultimately seven students in his class were accepted to Yale but he is the only one who chose not to attend. He instead opted to accept a Morehead Scholarship at UNC. Sometime during his sophomore year he told us that despite his Yale dream he honestly couldn’t see himself there a that time and was so very happy with his decision to attend UNC instead. </p>
<p>He never regretted his decision, had an incredible undergrad experience which took him to many parts of the world as part of the scholarship and today is an MS-1 (first year Med student) at a top ten Med School.</p>
<p>In short what I am trying to say is that if indeed you are denied admission to Yale it does not make you a lesser person in any way or any less talented. It is NOT the end of the world and you will find a place that will welcome you and at which you will thrive and be extremely happy.</p>
<p>Please accept my best wishes to all and may you have much success at whatever school you choose to attend.</p>
<p>Nice, Eadad.</p>
<p>eadad,</p>
<p>I am currently a Morehead finalist 
and will be going to UNC in february for interviews. Whatever happens today–acceptance or rejection–I am praying to ultimately end up a Morehead at UNC.</p>
