<p>cornell and yale are left in terms of decisions.</p>
<p>yea, and even cornell's finding out today, which leaves us last out of the ivy league to find out :(</p>
<p>best for last, bruva... best for last.</p>
<p>"Best for last"...although I'll probably have different thoughts if I'm rejected :(</p>
<p>has princeton found out?</p>
<p>yep. yesterday.</p>
<p><<has princeton="" found="" out?="">></has></p>
<p>Hi Yalies-to-be......actually the vast majority of hopeful Princeton 2010ers have not found out yet!! We are waiting as anxiously as you are.</p>
<p>Decision emails were sent to internationals......but the rest were snail mailed on Tuesday. The only recipients thus far are those who live within 50 miles of Princeton.......that leaves the rest of us still wondering!! Good luck to each of you.</p>
<p>i wish they'd just say it! then we could just get on with our live.
the Harvard numbers look rather encouraging tho.. only bout 149 got rejected. That's not too bad!</p>
<p>I think the Harvard numbers are really encouraging. But I heard that Harvard had a decrease in application numbers this year, right?</p>
<p>Regardless, I like the "best for last mentality"</p>
<p>What other schools are guaranteeing an online decision?</p>
<p>duke i believe. Question, would u rather have an online decision or email like Harvard does?</p>
<p>Yale's habit is to reject far more in the EA round than harvard, thus those who are defered have a better chance of gaining admission come RD round. Harvard defers most and rejects very few (fewer than they admit).</p>
<p>The number deferred is not relevant, really; rather, the significant number is how many of those deferred are later accepted in the RD round. Last year, Harvard accepted 94 deferreds, and I believe Yale (per the ASC) accepted 249.</p>
<p>as harvard accepts a higher percent early than yale, yale then makes up the difference and some more with the deferred pool. I wonder if this hurts yale's yield in terms of its SCEA applicant pool who might have feelings of being "spurned" and rationalizing "I didn't want to go to yale anyway" for a few months. </p>
<p>anyway, the moral of all of this is that those of you who are deferred have a great shot of still getting into yale (as opposed to the deferred ea pool at harvard, which is the perfect example of why its hard to extrapolate trends from one school's results to another school)</p>
<p>Deferred at Harvard generally = polite rejection. Deferred at Yale not a major factor in yield. Deferred or not, Harvard major factor in Yale yield.</p>
<p>Stanford finds out later today, Princeton applicants may find out saturday or later!</p>
<p>well new jersey applicants to princeton found out yesterday, so west coasters might find out either today or tomorrow.</p>
<p>If you look on the Harvard threads....boy they are discouraging re:who they've rejected</p>
<p>I think Harvard's polite rejection is preferable to Yale's more honest approach. But...I value courtesy more than I should.</p>
<p>Am I the only one who finds Harvard's numbers incredibly encouraging? </p>
<p>I've been telling everyone (including myself) that I have a 1 in 10 statistical chance of getting into Yale. To find out that Harvard's admit rate was 21% made my day.</p>
<p>What doesn't make my day is when school is cancelled due to an ice storm. We were supposed to have two finals today and two tomorrow, but now we have two tomorrow and two on Jan. 5...insane. </p>
<p>Now, I have all day to ride the emotional rollercoaster I like to call "waiting."</p>
<p>But I do get some really superchouette comments on myspace:</p>
<p>"today is thursday, december 15, 2005; i hope it's the best day of your life. i'm sure some chocolate chip cookies topped with miniature yale flags would help keep you sane today, but the blasted ice prohibits them. oh, jerome... i'm more than rooting for you."</p>
