<p>Haha I agree that it is a little early to be talking about this rejection stuff…I would at least wait till Dec 1st b4 anyone brings that stuff up. However, odds are maybe 3 of us who have posted so far will actually get into Yale early…</p>
<p>I would think (hope) more than three people, but we will see. My school has never sent anyone to Yale (albeit the school has only had 5 graduating classes so far with an avg of 70-80 students per class), and only one person has gotten in… hopefully I will be the first to go!!!</p>
<p>My school has sent one to Yale ('10). And that is the only one in our city in at least the past eight years. Name any top college you can think of, and it has recruited more than Yale has. So…I will give my best shot and if Yale doesn’t admit me, fine then. Really, this is a reciprocal affair. Hope I won’t disturb anyone here but if a school doesn’t take you it may as well indicate a better / more suitable choice for you to take–just not your initial fav.</p>
<p>well ummm hate to break it to you guys but probably nobody was accepted in my city and that can go back to a long time ago haha
so i guess i win this “which city lacks yale students most” contest haha</p>
<p>Well cdid2008 I think I’m also competitive for city lacking yale students… I know of nobody from my high school who has gone to a HYPS school… there definitely could be someone who did some time ago, but no one I’ve ever heard of</p>
<ol>
<li>Denial - Deferred from Yale EA
<ol>
<li>Anger - Blame the system, blame your nationality, blame your counselors, blame your parents, blame yourself. </li>
<li>Bargaining - Count on RD cycle to get you in, even when you know the chances are miniscule.</li>
<li>Depression - Cry. Rant. Eat ice cream. </li>
<li>Acceptance - Accept the fact that you have to go to another top 15 school.</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<p>Haha gryffon is pritty much spot on, however, I would disagree with your chances being miniscule after a deferal SCEA. There are quite a few people who do get in RD after being deferred (I believe).</p>
<p>right, but not only would you then be competing with all the other deferrals, but the stellar RD applicants as well (stanford rejects also?)</p>
<p>well doesn’t it feel kinda bad even if u get accepted in the RD round? I mean afterall, ur first choice didn’t choose u first…
I know i’d feel kinda awkward and well definetely not happy hehe</p>
<p>^lol if they choose me in the end, I’ll still be esctatic.</p>
<p>haha true… cause it’s yale hehe and it is where u want to go… where i want to go to hehe</p>
<p>I am ready for anything that comes forward. Just make sure my part is done well. My part won’t directly generate an acceptance, but that is all I can do and I do not want to “wish that I had…”</p>
<p>wow zishuaw nice… u sound like my dad hehe no offence
but what u said is totally true i mean yeah we just have to do our part and let the stars fall where they may haha</p>
<p>I totally admire your attitude ZishuAW. I tell myself I’m ready to face anything and that university is just one step but a part of me still daydreams about acceptance and Yale…quite often. Then again, it’s Yale, I’d be lucky if I get deferred :P</p>
<p>Wow, thank you guys! Hmm…in my family my relationship with my dad is sort of the other way around. My mom joked that if judging from the things we say (not the voices) then one would definitely confuse me and my dad. My logic is more sophisticared while my dad is impulsive, but he is actually really wise. He just doesn’t show.
Well, sometimes the hardest person one can convince is himself/herself. I may have to deal with the fact that I won’t have an interview after all, which I prepared specially for. Bummer~
But hope that we all will get in in the end! :)</p>
<p>haha i totally concur… which part of china r u from anyways zishuaw?</p>
<p>Don’t tell anyone. It is the easiest way to deal with it.</p>
<p>If you can realize that it is not a personal judgment given the huge number of applicants, then the fear of failure is probably largely based on a perception that others will judge you. If you don’t tell them the result, they won’t be able to.</p>
<p>Problem solved.</p>
<p>cdld2008 - I’m from Shenzhen.</p>
