@mikesauce, yes, honestly at this point I’m making up reasons in case I get rejected.
I’m making up reasons too! Helps to soften the potential blow
I’m thinking of reasons they’ll regret my not having attended there, should I not get in. I’m going to do great things no matter where I go.
@ThatGuy87 I do that also! In a few years they’ll think, “we shouldn’t have let her go to Brown!”
Yeah! They’ll be sorry! 8-X
I’m so glad to see your positive comments! I know that it’s excruciating right now but I’m going to “mom” you guys for a minute. Trust me, I’m old enough to be able to do that. We all have FANTASTIC options no matter what Yale decides for each one of us. I know that we are all very anxiously awaiting that email that will hopefully come this week. I don’t think the program is designed for vets or they would not have wasted their time to accept applications for or interview those of us who aren’t - this is Yale University, they’re not going to waste their resources like that. Those of us who got interviews are the best of the best. We were the chosen 20% that they interviewed and all of us have been accepted at multiple other schools, most even have other Ivy League options. No matter where we end up, we are going to be successful and yes, we can say that Yale should have let us in if that’s not where we go
Best of luck to all of you, I wish you all well and happy decision making! We all have great stories and more and more schools are recognizing what a gold mine nontraditional students are because we are there to learn and make the most of our education. We are game changers!! Good luck and hope to see decisions being posted very soon!!
@immunomom You’re such a sweetheart! Thank you for lifting our spirits! That was some much needed optimism!
@immunomom Yes, you are right! Thanks for the positivity!
4 more days!
I know! I keep waiting to see one of you post that you got your email. The waiting is excruciating!! Almost there…although according to my source, we should know in 3 days. Still feels like an eternity :-S
It is Memorial Day weekend… so maybe the office will be closed on Friday and they’ll send the emails on Thursday.
Oh man that would be great! Somebody on here said it would be the 26th so that makes sense!
I was also told the 26th.
Let’s promise to report to the thread as soon as we hear back, accepted or not.
I keep expecting to wake up to an email. This week is nerve-racking.
I will certainly post no matter what and I would love to hear what you all are going to do!! Best of luck everyone, just a couple days left!!! (unless by some merciful act they notify us sooner!)
Just about 48 hours left! I’m doing everything I can to keep busy and keep my mind off of the impending news.
Im hoping that being on the west coast I can just wake up to the email in my inbox!
@MikeSauce Me too! If it could happen tomorrow, that’d be great.
I have an update!!!
I emailed Marianne Arrigone, the program coordinator, because she was always such a sweetie when we spoke, and told her that my interviewer was vague on the release date and asked if she had more info.
She sent me this:
Hello Hillary,
Decisions will come out tomorrow afternoon, you will be emailed.
All the best,
Marianne
Oh my gosh! Hillary you are the BEST!! I was thinking about doing that but didn’t want to annoy Marianne. Guaranteed I will not be sleeping tonight…
Oh snap! I guess its true what they say closed mouths dont get fed! Thanks Hillary!!
