<p>How are you going to find out your EA decision: wait for the mail, check online, something else?</p>
<p>Being the crazy person that I am, it occurred to me that I don't want to just click a button online and be told my decision. Therefore I've come up with a complex plan. I will type in my username and password, turn off the monitor, and hit enter. Then I will do ctrl+P, enter, and go downstairs to the printer to find out my result. I just don't want it to be too simple. ;)</p>
<p>Wow, that's very complex, but totally awesome that you thought that out. I will be obsessively refreshing my computer until we can check decisions, then I will press the button and let the computer tell me.</p>
<p>Haha, dtown, that's awesome. I think I'd do that if I were getting my decision online...but alas, I must wait for the mail. Sad day.</p>
<p>I will check online immediately when I can...however, i will not tell anyone except you guys (because i'll be so embarassed). I think i'll wait until the mail comes to tell anyone about my deferral/rejection.</p>
<p>thats an awesome plan dtown! im gonna borrow it. the printer is upstairs in the other room from the computer so ill close my eyes, grab it and run downstairs.</p>
<p>definately check and recheck starting with the 10th!! haha but sara's idea is awesome!!! but how will u know when it will work?!</p>
<p>Online as soon as possible... I can't imagine what it's going to be like logging in. I was a nervous wreck checking my SAT scores and this is 100 times more important.</p>
<p>i think im going to wait for the mail, but i will watch CC to see how good or bad the results are
sorry guys, im a coward</p>
<p>definitely online asap.. though i've lost hope.</p>
<p>Do the online decisions just say "accepted," "deferred," or "rejected"? Or do they give you a whole letter, like snail mail does?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you get a letter. The same letter.</p>
<p>I think I'll wait for the mail too Sara. I hate having my heart beating fast when I check stuff online (like SAT scores) or when I called for AP scores. Bad experiences!
I think I'll wait for the letter to be in my hand, or I'll just do what dtown suggested; sounds like a good idea.</p>
<p>uh...where do you get your username and password anyway?? wouldn't there be a online traffic jam during that period?</p>
<p>They get mailed to you. Most of us already have them. And yes, last year Yale's website crashed.</p>
<p>the web site crashed?? was it right at the beginning, like 5 o'clock?</p>
<p>how collegeboard of them... i think that would KILL me</p>
<p>I think it was around 8, but I don't remember exactly. I read about it in the YDN while I was visiting in April.</p>
<p>let's all hope that it doesn't happen this year!!!!!</p>
<p>The load shouldn't be too bad... it's only a max of 4000 users.</p>
<p>Wow! Dtwon, that is an ingenious yet complicated method. I'm impatient, so I'll just click and try not to wet myself. :)</p>
