<p>...from the bottom of my heart wish each and every single Yale SCEA applicant the best.</p>

<p>I see so much in this group that I never glean from any of the other boards (granted, I stay mostly with my Yale crew). I've never been so intellectually stimulated and challenged, or as gratified as when I've bantered and chatted with the people on this board. It's sad but true. I don't wish a single person on here bad luck. I think that everyone who has made their presence known as an SCEAer is worthy of going to Yale, and I hope that admissions favors us CC applicants nicely. </p>

<p>You are all fantastic people, even though I have never met you, and may never meet you. I find myself including your usernames in my prayers because I don't remember your real names : ) I can tell that every single one of us has put over 110% of ourselves into this application process, and that a disappointing outcome will hurt no matter how much we think about the Stanford Slaughter and try to prepare ourselves for what will happen at 5:00 EST.</p>

<p>But I am so glad that each and every one of us is someone amazing, with talent and ardor and strength, and that I don't have to worry about anyone on here because I know that everyone is smart enough to know they will get into a good school. I know I'm rambling here, because I really just meant to say thanks. </p>

<p>Thank you, CC community, for being here for me. Ever since lurking in the 8th grade, to now, when I actually need CollegeConfidential, this site has been here for me. I know that if it wasn't for the amazing responses I recieved to my first inquiry about Yale, just a mere four months ago, I never would have considered myself smart enough to apply. I might have even applied to Brown ED! :)</p>

<p>Last night, my best friend told me she is simply proud of me for applying to Yale. At first, I didn't get it...anyone can apply. But not anyone can put their entire heart and soul into an application in the hopes that they will get in. Anyone can wish on a falling star, but only those who really believe will have a chance to have that wish come true. I'm proud of all of you for making the leap to apply to Yale- to put your hearts out on a string for the sake of a school, albeit a school that you really love. </p>

<p>I have no idea what I'll do if I'm deferred or rejected. It's possible, obviously, I just don't want to think about it. So instead, I'd like to think about you guys. And all day, I will be thinking of all of you, through all of my classes, through coffee with my friends, all the way up until I enter my Eli account stuff and hope for the best. </p>

<p>Because it's you guys who, if I do get in, will make Yale Yale. Not the fantastic faculty, the lovely location, the organic food, or even the irresistibly sexy residential colleges. It will be the 1349 other crazy-smart, excitable, fantastic, amazing 17-18 year olds- some of whom will be you guys.</p>

<p>for heaven's sake, let's all get in.</p>

<p>with ardent love,</p>

<p>Princessbell!!!
We did pour our blood, sweat and tears into this. We gave it our best.
And we should be just proud of that. Let me know how it goes okay?</p>

<p>Much love,
Humna</p>

<p>Good luck to you to princessbell! I think we're all feeling the nerves and butterflies this morning....I hope you get in too :)</p>

<p>These threads are usually annoying but I found yours touching princessbell. I hope you the best, and hope for there to be some discernible method to Yale's madness that can cause anyone, whether they're in or not, to be congratulatory of those who were lucky enough to get admittance (for the opposite of this, see the Stanford board).</p>

<p>I put my heart on it~~~Yale is my hope to make a difference, as the only child in my family, I can't let them down...</p>

6

<p>You write really well. I sincerely hope the majority of us get in!</p>

7

<p>Good luck to you too, princessbell! Like someone said in another thread, you've been like the "mommy" on these forums and we all appreciate it, even those of us that haven't been here 3 weeks. :)</p>

<p>this was such a wonderful thing to read among all the anxiety. I have done much lurking rather than responding over the last few days, but you guys all have been awesome. May we all get to meet and be friends at the one and only Yale. Thanks for the heartwarming message, princessbell, it's perhaps the only thing that has brought me comfort through all the stress.</p>

<p>You're so wonderful. The only Yale applicant from my school is rather arrogant; you seem so down-to-earth and kindhearted, and even not as an SCEA applicant, I wish you the best and it was great to read.</p>

<p>a few more minutes...</p>

<p>I've got the warm tingly feelings now. <3</p>

<p>(And the stomach-convulsing one too.)</p>
