Decisions

<p>hey, only TWO from my state.</p>

<p>OOOOH that's great.</p>

<p>those are matriculation rates... there are almost twice as many admitted from each state.</p>

<p>That's because Wisconsin has a population of like 10.</p>

<p>Haha jk. But seriously, considering the number of people from Wisconsin who probably apply to Yale, I doubt that number is toooo bad... maybe.</p>

<p>wow, mistofthekane, just WHAT state do you live in? Alaska? Wyoming? :P</p>

<p>mist, this is the second thread where your post appears as being posted 9 minutes after mine (9 minutes in the future)! Weird stuff... o.O</p>

<p>hey pianista, how do you actually get to that page? I can't find it... :/</p>

<p>I'm just gonna go ahead and post my decision up here 6 days early:</p>

<p>Decision: Rejected</p>

<ol>
<li><p>So you go to Welcome</a> to Yale College, Office of Undergraduate Admissions . If you don't know that site... I feel really bad for you ;)</p></li>
<li><p>Above "Residential Life" in the horizontal menu, there is a purplish link that says application status. Click that.</p></li>
<li><p>On the next page, there will be a link to check your application status (this is the site we're familiar with... showing missing materials). Click that link.</p></li>
<li><p>Click on the button that says "Log into Yale Application Status".</p></li>
<li><p>On the next page, instead of signing in, click on "Eli Account Login," the first choice on the left menu.</p></li>
<li><p>This will bring you to a page on the Yale site with the familiar header. In the main area of the site, you will see various links.</p></li>
<li><p>Click on the one you want :)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I think they'll provide us with a more direct link when the time comes, but it's still fun to obsess right?</p>

<p>^ HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHH</p>

<p>I lol'd</p>

<p>I'm hoping to be one of the 1.3 people from Iowa. Hopefully I won't be the .3 - arghhh..</p>

<p>mihan, Iowa admitted 4 EA last year. I don't know where you guys are getting these funny number (OK, I know, somebody created a formula....) but check my earlier post on this thread. That's what they did LAST YEAR! 4 is better than one really large person, or a person and part of another one, as you are suggesting.</p>

<p>The formula was (Last year's matriculated students from your state x .44444). That combines the fact that about 75% of acceptees matriculate and that SCEA acceptees are about 1/3 of total acceptees (though they are close to 1/2 of matriculated students).</p>

<p>^ That sounds amazingly sweet. I knew two of the four (one really well, and one just because she's from our rival highschool)...and they were pretty much amazing and totally deserved it. I guess I forgot about all of that whilst profusely panicking about 1.3, hahah.. :D</p>

<p>Well, anyways. QUESTION: does anyone know if will checking our admit statuses be like checking SAT scores, with a bunch of server shut downs and such?</p>

<p>mihan, if the past is a predictor of the future, last year the servers worked just fine. There wasn't even a hiccup when D logged in. There aren't that many of you checking, in the grand scheme of things, after all. </p>

<p>Hang in there all you little bulldog wannabees. I know however much we all say "don't want it", it's just not possible until after Monday. My advice: go outside for a long walk outdoors every day between now and Monday. For bonus points, go with one of your parents. They are going to miss you next year.</p>

<p>Anyone tried the "admitted student website" on your eli account logins? It says online decisions are closed for now. I hoped to get an early glimpse if we were accepted...so did anyone else see the same thing?</p>

<p>^ Yep Yep.</p>
