<p>anybody else in a similar situation?</p>
<p>i applied kind of as a fluke, major reach, and somehow i got in...</p>
<p>i dont think i wasnt qualified, cuz i got into gtown, wash st louis, a bunch of good places, but i just knew how much of a crap shoot ivy admissions were.</p>
<p>now im starting to consider it, but im not sure if i want to be overwhelmed by geniuses at such a prestigious school, hehe. anyone else stunned?</p>
<p>guess ill have to go visit tho, i hear its quite beautiful :-D</p>
<p>I'm completely stunned.</p>
<p>I was deferred EA after sending in all of these supplements and extra rec letters, and having a "legacy" hook. I was told that legacies who were deferred were simply not rejected because of "politeness," and I really thought I had no chance, especially considering just how many other REALLY strong people applied from my school.</p>
<p>Mid-year report was a little worse than I expected too. My interview wasn't fabulous. I just... didn't get good vibes from them at all, and I had been preparing myself for the past five months for a rejection.</p>
<p>Now that I'm in... I just... I have no effing idea what to do or think or say. I never even considered this. It's kind of too much for me at the moment.</p>
<p>I'm afraid that if I tell a girl at school who really did want to go to Yale and didn't get in, she'll kill me. Especially since I'm not sure that I'm going to matriculate.</p>
<p>I didn't apply on a whim, so much, but I certainly wasn't as serious about it as some other people were. Somehow the unfairness just really gets to me...more than it should, I suppose.</p>
