<p>Results are up. Good luck to all. My son was deferred -- there were 100 students who applied from Virginia EA. Overall 16.5% were accepted, 42.9% were deferred, and 38.4% were rejected.</p>

<p>deferred.....yeahhh life sucks....whatever though</p>

<p>ive got the website right infront of me.... i just cant bear myself to open it..</p>

<p>rejected, was pretty much expecting it tho, so not too sad really. congrats to the accepted and to those deferred, you still have a fighting chance, don't waste it, GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>rejected....sadder than i expected to be. I guess I'll go eat food and mope.</p>

<p>I agree quetzal......I woke up pretty calm today. I guess i sorta knew that I was going to be rejected. DOesn't mean it doesn't hurt.....but hey, Yale will have a beautiful class and I will try my luck elsewhere.</p>

<p>FINGERS CROSSED FOR YOU ALL</p>

<p>Rejected. But to tell you the truth, its kind of good news for me. Let me tell you my story...</p>

<p>I finished high school int three years and graduated last year. Last year, I applied to Harvard EA. I was deferred and later rejected. I was also rejected by several schools, namely Yale and Penn. But I decided to go to Georgetown. I also decided to take a year off, so I paid my deposit and deferred my admissions. </p>

<p>During that time, I really grew to love Georgetown. I love the fact that its religious (making it more conservative), that its in DC (a large city rather than a small town), that is has the Howard Hughes Research program, and that its prestigious. </p>

<p>This year, for some reason, I decided to reapply to Yale EA. I really don't know why, because I never intended to attend. Yale, to me, is too liberal and in too small of a town. The only reason I wanted to go was because its an Ivy League and because its really well known. </p>

<p>Now that I have gotten rejected (again) I have some closure. Now I can focus on Georgetown. Congratulations to all those that have gotten accepted. If you really love Yale, and feel its the school for you, by all means, GO!!</p>

<p>If you have been deferred, and really wish you could have been admitted, send them add'l recommendations and letters telling them you really want to go and that Yale is your number one choice. </p>

<p>If you have been rejected like me, don't worry. There are other schools thar parrarel Yale in academics, faculty, EC's and location. Some of these schools are less famous than Yale, but they are really good schools. Remember, being happy is more important than prestige. You will be attending the school you choose for four years, so make sure you'll be happy there. </p>

<p>Once again, congratulations to those admitted, and good luck with the rest of your senior year!!</p>

<p>deferred.... what should i do?</p>

<p>rejected as well. feeling kind of bummed, but not horribly angry or anything. in a way, i guess its better than waiting until april to hear the same result. just moving on to new applications...</p>

<p>deferred...but there's still a chance for all us deferred people; they accepted even less EA this year than last, so they'll probably accept more EA people RD.</p>

<p>How do you know less people were accepted EA?</p>

<p>i dont know man........just dont get your hopes up.....hopes a dangerous thing</p>

<p>deferred. well, at least i wasn't rejected. i'm more angry about having to wait till april and that i have to work really hard until then than i am about being deferred. i will probably not go on this site at all until march... it will make me too sad.</p>

<p>I was deferred. But hey, it's not like I could have afforded it if they let me in anyhow.</p>

<p>deferred...and i'm still asking myself why they do that...</p>

<p>c'mon yale, why don't you just accept more people early? then, you won't have to review our applications again. it'll save you the time, and it'll save us from dying of heart attacks.</p>

<p>man...</p>

<p>I wish I could be as optimistic as some of you, but this is quite possible the most disappointing day of my life. Deep down inside I thought that I could possibly be accepted... I just had a good feeling. So much for gut feelings. I'll never set foot on the Yale campus, never join all these amazing CCer's that got in, never wear the old Blue and White... I'm done.</p>

<p>I'm sorry, pre1321.
Man, does anyone who was accepted post in here?</p>

<p>ugh, screw this</p>

<p>rejected.... and i am totally crushed. yale was everything to me....
im shocked... im shattered... </p>

<p>deferral i would have been happy with,</p>

<p>but rejection? how am i supposed to deal with school tomorrow? how am i supposed to write essays to other schools with any feeling when Yale was EVERYTHING...?
i feel like my whole life was a waste now... like all the crap i took for my APs last year, all the fun stuff i skipped to study... it all seems so pointless</p>
