<p>Any applicant(who is waiting for college results) here feeling like loving Yale from the bottom of the heart???
if you feel the same, let's just list what we love about Yale:</p>
<p>I love the art museum(which I want to spend a day there) and the art class I visited(i feel so honored that the professor let me participate fully in the figure drawing class), the people I met in a Princess suit/dining hall, even a note written by a student!</p>
<p>Hmmm... I really felt like that after submitting my SCEA application, and especially while waiting for Yale's decision in December. Yale was like my boyfriend, always on my mind. The school's crest was my cell phone desktop and my IM photo. I wore my Dad's Yale hoodie all the time and covered my computer, when not in use, with a tiny Yale tee he'd bought for me when I was three. I was obsessed.</p>
<p>BUT after I was deferred I decided to see other people for a while. (Haha). I realize it's not the healthiest thing to fall in love with one school so very much (I cried after getting deferred!), because, after all, think about how crushed you'd be if you don't make it in eventually.. and, given the insane competition, I actually think I would have lucked out if I do make it in in April!</p>
<p>Uhhh... so, while I still have feelings for Yale, I have also become very good friends with my safeties and matches (Yale's a reach.) I'd advise anyone to not be so hooked on a school this early.</p>
<p>As for what I love about Yale: Everything! Residential colleges, gorgeous campus, fantastic professors, friendly but not cutthroat competitive spirit. It's perfect!</p>
<p>hmmmm...good advice!!!
i shouldn't be too stubborn...i have feelings for other schools too...but not as strong as Yale...</p>
<p>I completely understand, princess but JTKay gave you some good advice there. I love Yale, I would seduce it and have sex with it in the bathrooms of the local pub if it was a girl, HOWEVER until that letter is in your hands you're just hurting yourself. </p>
<p>Until then what I'm in love with is my essays, and application. Its MUCH more productive than loving the school. Thats where all my energy is going. So that if/when they defer me, I know that I tried my hardest to seduce lady Yale...and that she's an ungrateful whore :p</p>
<p>""""So that if/when they defer me, I know that I tried my hardest to seduce lady Yale...and that she's an ungrateful whore"""" Lol. If Yale is a wxxre if "she" rejects you, what's your community college?? :p</p>
<p>Masturbation. Cheap, individualistic and unsatisfying.</p>
<p>now..after i calm down..I kind of regretting posting this thread last night~~
thank you all for the advice,really...
for many times, i've told myself I should be more reasonable and after researching all the other colleges I've applied, I know in my heart that whichever college I end up going will give me a great experience as long as I embrace all the opportunities,explore the unknown and challenge myself. I told myself millions of times that the name of a school is just a name. what's more important is the experience---what I can bring to the community and how I can benefit the most and contribute the most to whichever community i end up with. college experience is what we make out of it. no matter how good a school is, if we don't put ourselves in the way of opportunities, it won't be a good school for us. but sometimes my body controls my mind! O_o</p>
<p>i think from now on, i should let go the college process and enjoy the last THREE months of senior year~~ ^_^</p>
<p>Thank you ,guys! and GOOD lUCK to everyone! :)</p>
