How did "Not getting too invested in Yale" turn into...

<p>I have a test last period tomorrow (ends at 4:30) - I’m pretty sure I will be so nervous that I won’t even be able to take the test :(</p>

<p>Darn, cdld, I thought I was the only one that had signs. Guess that fortune cookie and the short list of other things I have (half) jokingly deemed omens over the last six months might not be…</p>

<p>I really didn’t want to get attached, because then it hurts when you don’t get it. I know that people say there are other schools that one can be happy at if you don’t get your first choice. And while this may be true, I know that as far as academic programs and just the overall learning environment, Yale is a great fit for me. It’s my #1 by a mile, and even though I told myself not to get attached… I really, really want this…</p>

<p>haha courteau, u did fortune cookies? hehe niceeeee
i’m seirous, i keep thinking that god’s trying to tell me something (if not the fact that yale’s so wonderful and i can’t get in haha)</p>

<p>hey guys if we don’t get in then there will be other wonderful schools for us. if we do then matchmaking–mission accomplished…</p>

<p>What’s keeping me sane right now is that Yale isn’t even exactly my #1. I’ll definitely go there if I get in, no questions asked, but American University is my REAL #1 and I’m almost guaranteed a full ride there!</p>

<p>^ Why would you go if it’s not your number 1?</p>

<p>I am actually quite sane and calm now…but well it is nice (don’t beat me) to see that you guys are really human with emotions and expectations instead of crazy machines that produce monstrous EC lists and numerous 5s on AP exams :slight_smile:
Okay I was just joking…it’s gonna be all right guys. I think we will act like a family and cong/comfort others tomorrow~</p>

<p>haha easy for u to say, u have a big acceptance package coming</p>

<p>^ You do too, as do we all :)</p>

<p>haha thanks yspprsu… that does make me feel better
hehe</p>

<p>cdld2008 - Again, wish you were the one making decisions LOL. We will see. I think all three options are possible for me.</p>

<p>dude stop being so modest… hehe
u know deep down inside u r gonna get in haha
ur stats and ecs r amazing, anyone with normal eyes can see that</p>

<p>Add me to the people whose top choice is now yale. I always insisted I only applied early there because it was the only one of my schools that had non-binding early action, but since it’s the only school i’ve been focusing on in the past few weeks, I’ve grown to love it more and more.</p>

<p>yeah yeah yeah hehe</p>

<p>I’d go because it’s close enough to my number 1, and the career opportunities from it would be even better. :)</p>

<p>to me, if you don’t put your heart into something, then you can’t get it done to the best of your ability. my app is stained with my blood & tears, and i have no (major) regrets. i’m probably going to be crushed and embarrassed tomorrow, but hey! we’ll live.</p>

<p>I’m going to die of embarrassment tomorrow; that rejection/deferral seems so imminent. I’ll have to face a bunch of friends who have gotten into Columbia, Penn and Brown already (we’re having a study group for Jan exams). </p>

<p>I also have a big debate thing tomorrow. I cannot take this.</p>

<p>I just hope that I find the strength to complete all those other apps. Getting Yale would really save me a lot of time because I have A Level finals in Jan (like I’m ever going to be let off the hook that easily…lol)!</p>

<p>Remember guys: No matter what happens today, my dad still loves me! That helps, right?</p>

<p>Stay strong kids… you’ll be okay.</p>

<p>Aw, thanks khaki!!!</p>
