<p>sora, do you have a source for the 11 aussies? i wanna see who they are…</p>
<p>the fact that 11 got in shouldn’t be that surprising though; australia is part of the anglosphere</p>
<p>lol, ‘australasia’, i suppose so. i mean, im asian-australian, but i have australian citizenship: apparently this means i get counted an an ‘aussie’, not an ‘asian’.
the ‘11’ stat is from a talk the yale people gave in the consulate, one of my friends went and heard it. couple hundred apps, probably, and 11acceptances… better than applying from a korean/chinese/indian pool, still.</p>
<p>i know 3 from nz were accepted, so 8 from australia?</p>
<p>either way, the chances for internationals aren’t very good :(</p>
<p>Damn. Also, tomorrow are the SATs. Do all of you seriously have 2300+ scores? That is so intimidating and makes me feel so insignificant. How am I supposed to reach that level? This **** is bananas.</p>
<p>hahaha I didn’t know CC censored words. The **** is “s h i t”, just FYI 
But I’m sure you all knew that.</p>
<p>I have a 2390 :D</p>
<p>Boo! haha, jk. I wish I could get that score. Hopefully, I will tomorrow. Miracles do happen!</p>
<p>High scores are great but they reject many people with 2300+ scores. Consider your score about 2100 as a check mark. scores above 2300 would be check pluses. There are alot of other ways to get check pluses. It is a complete package that hits their (Yale) need and want.</p>
<p>So I guess I just missed a check mark, which makes me a check minus? Awesome…
Hopefully my performance tomorrow will change that. AAAAAAAAH. Is no one else as worried as I am?</p>
<p>i honestly believe that i’m going to mess up everything up tomorrow…
i kinda know it…so why fool myself?</p>
<p>Hmm. I think I’ll jump aboard this thread even though I’m a bit behind.</p>
<p>Only 67 days til 12/15!!!</p>
<p>Have you all completed the application?mine shall start tomorrow after the SAT USH and Lit are done with…is it 2 late?</p>
<p>No, it’s not too late. I’m in the same boat.</p>
<p>my counselor just submitted his rec today! wooo</p>
<p>For the supplemental essay about yourself, do you guys think it would be OK if I used a different one of the common app essay questions e.g. a character that has influenced you or the best piece of advice topic? Or do you think it’s better to just write something unique about yourself?</p>
<p>i’m so happyyy yayayayaya =]
cuz my recs have all been officially delivered to the admissions office
yay for certified mail!</p>
<p>congrats! I think my teachers are sending them online</p>
<p>yeah same. commonapp online is great</p>
<p>HMJ I only just did my SAT but I’m not getting anywhere near a 2300. Don’t feel intimidated. These forums are NOT indicative of the whole applicant pool.</p>
<p>really? they’re not? well that’s kinda calming 
how was your test? hope it went well
<em>big hug</em> (i don’t know…i just felt like hugging you )</p>
