<p>bump bump bump :D</p>
<p>You have excellent stats and ECs. If you don’t get accepted by Yale, it doesn’t mean that there was anything wrong with you or with your application–it would just mean that you were unlucky in how they’re piecing the puzzle together this year. I would expect you to get accepted to multiple top schools, assuming you applied to enough of them, and also assuming there’s not some bad thing in your record you haven’t mentioned.</p>
<p>Whether you end up at Yale or another school, you should appreciate the value of your Stuy education. I’m a parent who went there back in the day, and I am still thankful for the education I received there. In some ways, it had a greater impact on my intellectual development than college or grad school.</p>
<p>Can’t say I disagree with you there, SharpenedPencil. It really has been an amazing experience. I wouldn’t trade it for anything else.</p>

<p>Ah, who am I kidding… decisions are tomorrow anyway… I’m just freaking out. That’s why I’m posting so much :D</p>

You made me feel better a tad better 
So in school, I’m what we call a “Big Sib”, which is sort of like an upperclassmen (junior and senior) friend/mentor who looks over a homeroom of “Little Sibs” (freshmen). There are like 6 Big Sibs per homeroom, but I’m just one of them. We don’t have homeroom too often, maybe once a week maximum, so I don’t get to see my Little Sibs too often and it makes me sad that I can’t ): But today, we were given report cards and there’s this one Little Sib who didn’t do as well as she’d hoped and she was kind of nervous. I told her I was nervous too because tomorrow I’m receiving my Yale results. She made me feel sooooooo much better, it was amazing. She told me that I would get into any school I applied to and Harvard would send me an email BEGGING me to apply to them. Barack Obama would send me a personally signed letter telling me that I should help him run the country, but that I needed to go to Harvard. I would of course delicately refuse and go matriculate to Yale. It was the best anxiety relief I ever got throughout this whole college process :D</p>
<p>deferred… <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>hmmm be an optimist then :)</p>
<p>I’ll try. I was actually pretty calm about it. It’s just disheartening, that’s all, especially when you’re really riding on that one school you really like… oh well. I’m going to need to finish those other apps…</p>
<p>i know right. Cheer up =]]]]</p>
