<p>Hey- My name is Mike and I am from Connecticut. I was recently accepted EA by Yale, and I will also play football at Yale for the next four years. I was wondering if anyone on this board is both a member of the Yale Class of '09 and a recruited athlete who will be playing at Yale next year. Please let me know. Thanks.</p>
<p>no athletes at all?</p>
<p>I know that panthers7 was accepted as a recruited football player :).</p>
<p>You should do a search for him if he doesn't show up at this thread.</p>
<p>I know of two fencers that were accepted early. I also fence and was deferred. </p>
<p>We were all "recruited".</p>
<p>oi8u4lunch, what weapon do you fence?</p>
<p>One of my good friends is going to play girls lacrosse there next year and has been accepted EA, who knows maybe I will too when I'm applying to schools next year...</p>
<p>Foil. I am also home schooled.</p>
<p>Do you fence?</p>
<p>Best of luck to you in the regular decision round. Folks at the local fencing club (DCFC) were talking about a really "awesome" fencer who got deferred EA -- don't know if that was you, but apparently you're in good company.</p>
<p>I don't (I'm a parent), but my prospective Yalie fences epee -- met the fencing coach, but is not at the level to be recruited.</p>
<p>That was me.</p>
<p>...And they say the internet is anonymous.</p>
<p>It took about 30 seconds to be indentified!</p>
<p>This is really really horrible. It seriously took less than 30 seconds... and I didn't think anyone would really know what fencing was all about!</p>
<p>Anddd... I take it you're . dad.</p>
<p>You were being described with words like "awesome" and "amazing," for both your academic and fencing abilities. From what I heard, some school is going to be very lucky to get you in the regular decision round.</p>
<p>It is hardly that amazing or awesome on PAPER (or otherwise actually)... but thank you!</p>
<p>We'll see what happens, but I will be pretty happy where ever I go.</p>
<p>At least that's what I keep telling myself.</p>
<p>My little brother is the "smart" one. He has a 4 on English Lit and Calculus, SAT and SAT 2 scores whose combined total exceed my own, is higher ranked in fencing and was 13/14 when he did it. I want to apply as HIM.</p>
<p>Ha....I will pass it on to "." that you posted here! Again, DCFC folks were raving about you and your fencing abilities. I'm sure you'll do fine. From ".".s Mom</p>
<p>haha! This is all too weird/funny. </p>
<p>Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!</p>
<p>And congratulations to ".""! As told her at practice, it's really great she was accepted!</p>
