<p>the applicants on cc tend to be quite a bit more qualified than the average applicant, which is reflected in the higher admission rates here (30~40%), and an average sat score well into the 2300’s, compared with yale’s average of approx. 2250</p>
<p>Yale gets 22,000 applicants… the people here are just a handful of those. There’s a lot of “THAT 2300 WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR HYPMS YOU BETTER RETAKE OR YOU’RE GOING TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE, SUCKER!!” attitudes. It’s funny.</p>
<p>Just do your best. Yale has to admit someone, and it might just be you :)</p>
<p><em>hug back</em></p>
<p>My test went ok I think… or maybe it went horribly. Who knows! I guess we’ll find out on October 29!</p>
<p>question. can i wait until oct 29th to send my sat scores through college board?
cuz i’d like to see my final sat II score before i officially send them.</p>
<p>HEY</p>
<p>so, I’ve been lurking on this thread and last year’s SCEA thread for about half a year. and now that I’m applying to Yale SCEA I realized… why not partake in such awesomeness?</p>
<p>so, hello :)</p>
<p>Yes! Application is almost finished, so now it’s time to fret–</p>
<p>I have two Bs for semester grades. Oh my God, I have TWO Bs. One in freshman year and one last year. My rank is 3/140.</p>
<p>HAVE I KILLED MY CHANCES?!</p>
<p>^zomg its community college 4 u naaaao!</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>(getting on hands and knees)</p>
<p>Please let it not happen to me, please let it not happen to me…</p>
<p>those two b’s spell out your future career: BusBoy!</p>
<p>j/k</p>
<p>gl for scea and let us know what happens</p>
<p>LMAO at the above 5 or so comments. its a BEEEEEEEEE. a BEEEEEEEEEE.
relax people, my halfyearly report FOR YEAR 12 is dotted with Bs… and TWO Cs.
yeah. i know. its okay, my yearly report has 6As, 2Bs. =]
BUT CONGRATS TO ALL YOU OCTOBER SAT-ers!!!
that’ll be me… in november. and december. and january, for just in case. LOLs.
i read somewhere yale’s acceptance is gonnabe around 7.5% or so for us 2014ers.
ahwell. LETS APPLY AND BE DONE WITH IT, PEOPLE. HURRAAAH.</p>
<p>I’m been working so much on this app that I’ve been slacking off on others…
umm, so does anyone have an opinion on my question:
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?</p>
<p>i guess it would be ok
but my opinion doesn’t guarantee anything ;)</p>
<p>how did everyone’s SAT go?</p>
<p>@pigs<em>at</em>sea- it doesn’t matter if you wait until oct 29th or not, because you have to send ALL SAT and subject test scores regardless. check yale’s website if you don’t believe me</p>
<p>heey 
My SAT’s were ok…French went even better than I expected but Bio was kinda weird :s I have NO idea what it’s going to be but at least French went well :p</p>
<p>How did your SAT go?
You took Literature right?</p>
<p>hope everyone’s SAT went well! </p>
<p>I took it saturday tooo so a lot of us will be waiting for october 29!! and yeah, you can totally send your scores after october 29 but if you want to take advantage of the 4 free ones, you have to send them like…soon? before you see your scores. and then when the Oct scores become available, collegeboard will automatically send them to the schools you selected. that’s what I did since i know i’m gonna apply to these colleges anyways…so like…I JUST SENT MY SCORES TO YALE. woah.</p>
<p>I’m quite behind on my apppp as well …hahah it’s been mostly SAT and school stuff lately but now that the SAT is over and school stuff will slow down later this week, I’m gonna spend the next…2-3 weeks (OHMYGOD) perfecting those essays! (So much for submitting mid-october. HAHAH oh dear )</p>
<p>mynci–totally okay! as long as it shows something about you, it doesn’t really matter what topic you write about!</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK YALL!!! it’s so exciting to see how many new members have joined!!</p>
<p>Sora that’s me too, my SAT yesterday was my first one. Yet more fun to come… next month I have to get up at 4.30am to get there in time. WHAT!!!</p>
<p>Hey Smile, nice to see you ;)</p>
<p>I can’t believe there’s only like 3 weeks before the SCEA deadline.</p>
<p>And I’m visiting Yale in FOUR DAYS!!! ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG!!!</p>
<p>i wish i could visit yale too=[
portuguese ninja take me with you!!!</p>
<p>100% sure that I am applying to Yale early. Bring it on.</p>
<p>gagagagaggagag ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE DECISIONS COME IN!!</p>
<p>when do they start contacting for interviews?</p>
<p>I visited over the summer and (of course) fell in love with it, enough to make room in my two-week college trip to come back a second time. I feel that I would be somewhat disappointed anywhere else.</p>
<p>Also, I am psyched to an absurd degree by the fact that mychances dot net puts my odds at about 80%!!! It was around 40% before I put my SAT II scores in, so this is a VERY pleasant surprise. Gotta love the Hispanic bump =)</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
