<p>I didn't think so, but I could be wrong. I visited last year, and they didn't mention single choice at all. I also remember being miffed this year on learning that it was Single-Choice.</p>
<p>Perhaps you have it confused with Harvard? Or perhaps I am just confused.</p>
<p>Or perhaps I am just confused...</p>
<p>Boy. I feel like an idiot now. <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5626555/site/newsweek/%5B/url%5D">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5626555/site/newsweek/</a></p>
<p>No idea how I missed that on my college visits. Insert non-happy-looking embarrassed smiley.</p>
<p>no, i really think that this year is the first year Single Choice, i remember them saying that somewhere, some time, i think.</p>
<p>Last year was definitely the first year for Single Choice EA. Before that, it was ED.</p>
<p>So much for a smaller early applicant pool. So, uh, let's not tell Yale about my stupid moment.</p>
<p>And of course I don't really think Yale would care. I'm not that freaked out about the application process... Yet.</p>
<p>Don't worry llama, your secrets are safe here.</p>
<p>It's not like its a public board or anything...</p>
<p>tch'yea, seriously.</p>
<p>just read last year's post...wow...it's depressing/interesting/surprising/impossible to decipher what Yale is looking for. oh well. waiting it out is good for the soul...leads to personal growth</p>
<p>That thread just killed any shred of confidence I still had. I'm praying for deferral now, when before I actually thought I might have gotten accepted early. Does anyone feel like there's no other school but YALE and that nothing else really matters? I know this is really bad but I just can't help it... I like Yale sooooo much more than any other school. I'm trying to brace myself for rejection in advance, but I just can't. I'll be devistated no matter what.</p>
<p>aww, don't give up. remember to make cake on dec. 15th and eat it no matter what. that's what my friends and I are doing! :)</p>
<p>yea i agree v depressing...i applied ea as well n im an intl!!! applying for finaid!!! k dat pretty much says it all, i really have zip chance i think. sobsob...
y da massacre last yr?? is it like dis pretty much every yr or was last yr exceptionally horrifying?? n can anyone tell me wat set the accepted ea ones from the deferred ea ones?</p>
<p>vanillaice, you are killing me here... we are informal on this forum yes, but we do tend to write in coherent english (unless in the bebere87 & iplayoboe thread because there incoherent rambling is a must) i already take one foreign language, i dont need another.
to answer your question: there was a massacre last year because so many people applied and they didnt accept that many, if not as many people apply EA and they accept the same number, it wont seem like such a slaughter. And so many people apply EA because YALE is the best school ever and everybody wants to go. But not everybody can so YALE has to break some hearts.
And nobody here knows what makes the difference between accepted and deferred, cause if we did then we would make sure we were the right kind of applicant to ensure our success with the application process. we are all HS students, just like you, and we know as much about why certain people get chosen and certain dont as you do. best of luck tho! :)
much love

<p>Dammit. I used to think I was borderline btwn accepted/deferred. Now it's pretty much deferred/rejected. DAMN. IT. </p>
<p>I'm just glad we have this site........until I see everyone else get accepted while I am stranded in thin envelopes. Dec 15 scares me, and yet I need it to come now. </p>
<p>Come on, <em>poof</em> Dec 15. Another <em>poof</em> acceptance. Please?</p>
<p>Isn't it December 16th? regardless, with each second that passes, I become more and more convinced that there's no way I'm getting in. I don't know how I'm going to last til december, but at the same time, I don't know I'm going to deal with finding out! ahhh</p>
<p>can't we find out online earlier? do they they mail them dec. 15th?</p>
<p>I thought someone said that we find out December 16th online...I'm not positive..I'm sure they'll post it on their website or let us know or w/e. I'm going to try to forget about it b/c I'm driving myself insane.</p>
<p>yeah. just enjoy the fact that you've sent in the application!</p>
<p>So we've decided that it's December 16th and not 15th?</p>
<p>it's not clear..</p>
