<p>YAYYY YALE!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Now it does.</p>
<p>having just read your stats, I feel very insignificant...which is why I don't normally read people's stats. I'm also applying to Georgetown, Cornell, and Princeton...as I imagine are half the people on CC.</p>
<p>Jill, stats mean sooo very little. It's so silly to invest your self-worth in numbers. I'm sure that you are 49832975 times more impressive than you think (and that your stats are 49832975 times more intimidating). Don't put yourself down like that!</p>
<p>Besides, if I were such a great student, I'd be doing my homework, instead of watching SNL, playing texttwist, and posting on CC.</p>
<p>Thanks! Good luck to you too!</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with bebere. Everyone that applies to Yale is going to have great stats or be outstanding in one way or another. Just do your best and hope for the best! And do try to take the time to relax. I've actually heard of people getting rushed to the emergency room because they got so distressed about the admissions process, seriously.</p>
<p>Can anyone back up that 5% EA admit rate for this year? I don't think that is true.</p>
<p>oh god i hope not... :)</p>
<p>Right now, I'm a bit skeptical about that fact... I would like to see the source where it came from. On the Yale Herald site a few weeks ago, it had an article the EA policy was facing some scrutiny... I didn't see anything about a 5% admit rate though.</p>
<p>Ok, I just searched through all the archives of the Yale Daily News and Yale Herald, and nothing comes up about this 5% rate.</p>
<p>Storm_Mage...what a great name! Anyway...what on earth did these people in the ER suffer from? I can't imagine keeling over from an application and a couple of essays. It'd be sooo funny though. It's be an awesome story to tell your grandkids one day. And we should all stop talking about this 5% rate. It's probably just like the SAT...it won't affect this year's seniors. Besides, if it does, it just means a larger percentage will be deferred, not rejected. And if we all get deferred, think of the great party we can hold.</p>
<p>5%.... that, in essence, is silly to me. why would they limit themselves like that?
<em>gulp</em> i hope</p>
<p>haha a deferred party, kinda like, oh yay, today didnt totally suck! I wasnt rejected (yet) !! yay!! and we can eat halves of cookies and drink half glasses of orange-aid because we half succeeded in that we werent rejected !!! yay!!!</p>
<p>better half the cookie than none at all...and it's half the calories!</p>
<p>true that! and you get to eat twice as many... haha. at least then it still feels like your eating fewer calories. haha.</p>
<p>its more like having half the cookie...but having to wait till April to see if you can eat it or not....</p>
<p>And why do ALL of our posts end up becoming a cookie discussion? I think there is majorly something wrong with all of us. :)</p>
<p>beth- I was at HOBY too-- and I live on Long Island!</p>
<p>haha. good point. or we are just seriously cookie deprived, ....
well im not but maybe you all are...
hm. that doesnt work
i guess we are all juts psychos</p>
<p>Haha wow Ritzbitz, where in LI? I would ask you which group you were in at HOBY, but I don't even remember my group</p>
<p>the sad thing is I actually do... I live on the North Shore in Nassau... East Williston specificially you?</p>
<p>Hmm, half cookies, twice as many = less calories.</p>
<p>I believe that's what Piaget called a lack of conservation, which is generally overcome by age 7.</p>
<p>It's a decent theory though.</p>
<p>I'm in Dix Hills...Hills East?</p>
<p>I was friends with a Beth in my group....</p>
