<p>...it's just one of those nights.</p>
<p>YOU LIVE IN CT!
Can you shed some light on the whether some letters have been mailed yet issue?</p>
<p>In the other thread, she said they hadn't.</p>
<p>Hope your night gets better, Becky!!</p>
<p>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>
<p>I am beginning my rapidly-quickening descent into madness. Acceptance is the only thing that will cure me...:)</p>
<p>Well...the adm office said they'll mail out the 15th. It's the 13th. Whoever says they got one is lying.</p>
<p>This last week of waiting is without doubt the hardest. I can't live like this anymooooooooooooore!</p>
<p>yes... everyday goes by with the quickness of a snail. it's ridiculous. i can't even sleep.</p>
<p>ya know... i don't even know why i'm all worked up about this... I know that there's such a small chance that I might get admitted, but that teensy tiny ray of hope just keeps peeking through the darkness of my outlook on this situation... ugh.</p>
<p>what makes it all harder is the fact that a lot of people have already gotten their decisions from other schools, but here I am, sitting in limbo, still on edge and waiting to find out. grrr, I JUST WANT TO KNOW ALREADY!!</p>
<p>I laid in bed for 3 hours last night,until I finally fell asleep around 2. The decision is weighing so heavily on my mind...</p>
<p>i know what you mean... i just think of all of the possibilities-- how'd i'd feel if i got in... if i didn't, etc. ugh.</p>
<p>Pre - I know what you mean! I can't sleep AT ALL. And THIS is the week all the teachers decide to cram in all the tests they can. arghhhhhhhh!</p>
<p>Not that I'm necessarily recommending it, but I took a sleeping aid last night and had an amazing night's sleep for the first time in a very long time.</p>
<p>well, i wasn't getting too worked up about the whole admissions thing, but now that i've joined cc i really want to go to yale now and i'm all nervous. thanks a lot! (hehe, jk, love you guys)</p>
<p>anyways, today has been a really good day and the evening is going to rock, so i'm in a very good, non-stressed mood right now. mainly because my english teacher postponed the due date for this big essay that i haven't started. excuse me while i bask in the glow of procrastination <em>basks</em> Just think happy thoughts, don't stress about Yale (not that my saying that is really going to change anything) just know that the decision is already fixed and there is absolutely nothing we can do and that winter break is in a few days! so regardless of the decision, we can sleep in in the morning (that is, if you can sleep...) happy holidays! okay, i'm finished...back to thinking about yale :)</p>
<p>CC has that affect on people. I am trying (not successfully) to take these next few days calmly, but every time I attempt to do something else, this little voice chants,"Yale, Yale, Yale, Yale!". I am so nervous even though I know there is nothing I can do about it. I try to tell myself the less I think about it, the less disappointed I'll be. But yeah, doesn't work; that voice drums on. Then I try to reason with myself that if I countdown and obsess, it will bring bad news. So far thats been the trend in my life and in other people's college decisions. Whenever I put things out of my mind, they turn out better- aka PSAT scores and not SAT scores. So perhaps I will try to stay away from this board until Wednesday. But the key word is try. So, farewell for the next five minutes until the voice returns!</p>
<p>pre1321 I did the same....lay awake until 2:30 the other night.... and I had to work the next day exhausted. My son has come home from school telling of friends who have gotten into Brown, Penn, Stanford and Gtown. Everytime we hear of someone it gets more excruciating. I feel like my brain has been hijacked.</p>
<p>random rant:
I thought it was only me and this guy from school applying to Yale early, but i just found out one of my really good friends decided to also. So we were on the phone and I asked her why she decided to apply there. Her answer, "Remember last Alumni Day when Jess spoke about Yale; she said it was like Hogwarts." I was waiting for more reasons, but that was it. So I ask, "Have you visited Yale or gone to the information sessions." And she responds, "Nope, I really know nothing about Yale."<br>
I was ready to murder her. That's such a stupid reason to apply to Yale. Does that seem ridiculous to anyone else but me?</p>
<p>A similar thing happened to a friend of mine who's now at Brown...
She, along with a couple others, applied EA to Yale last year. Yale was her dream school, but she was deferred (along with everyone else). Then two days after the news hit, when she was just starting to get over it, her best friend (with lower grades mind you) told her that she had applied EA to Yale and got in. It was crazy...they had a fight...she had a breakdown....
And then the girl who got in went to USC.</p>
<p>But here's something to (hopefully) reassure you....schools can usually tell when an applicant is not right for their school. It sounds like your friend only applied there because of the Hogwarts reference and the big name, not because she feels like it's a school she would do well at. If she were a good match for Yale, her grades, ECs, recs, etc. would all reflect it....rest assured, the adcom will be able to tell who thinks Yale is perfect and who thinks it's only pretty on paper.</p>
