<p>SO, decision time is fast approaching and all I can think about is YALE!! But the truth is that I most likely will not get in, probably will get deferred, and may even be sitting here with a rejection letter. Yet, I cannot bring myself to finish, actually even start, the 10 other applications and their supplements. If I don't get in, I will have a limited number of days to pump out a TON OF ESSAYS!!!! If I don't get in, and I know I probably won't, I'm screwed.</p>
<p>Who's with me?</p>
<p>My sympathy for you is very limited. While it is nice to put some thought on getting in to Yale, you should really start on your other applications.</p>
<p>lol i wasnt asking for sympathy just seeing if any other applicants were feeling the way i do.</p>
<p>Well, you know it's a bad idea to sit on the other apps, so make it different - instead of looking for input, get cracking on something that will help you ie: your other apps. If you are pleasantly surprised with an acceptance, you won't begrudge the time you spent, and if not, you will be glad you did.</p>
<p>hey, my decision comes out in 6 days...how's that for worrying?</p>
<p>I feel the exact same way as you. I don't want to write a gazillion more essays! Booo.....why can't they have standard essays that everyone has to write instead of stupid supplements!</p>
<p>Starburst, I was doing the same till 10 days ago. Till I got crankin' on my apps. Does 2 things for me- keeps my mind off the "D Day" and of course the applications get done.</p>
<p>It doesn't escape my thoughts when I sleep though. I'm still getting Yale dreams.</p>
<p>haha, iam i think i should follow your lead. i did however bring myself to do the information part of my apps, like my address and my parents schools. i really dont mind doing mindless stuff! but, i think i need to get serious about those essay...yay for saturday night.</p>
<p>and spiritus i totally agree, the commonapp is just a dirty trick---supplements galore.</p>
<p>im glad to see im not alone...but this thread has slightly motivated me...i hope.</p>
<p>haha i'm screwed too, so you're not alone.</p>
<p>but im glad i did EA cause at least i have some kind of template for my other apps, since my entire commonapp is done already =P</p>
<p>I know what you guys mean. Fortunately, reality set in and I'm trying to put my best foot foward in other applications.</p>
<p>lol, i still can't start my other applications.</p>
<p>I'm with spiritus. I was working on my supplements yesterday, and I couldn't understand why these universities can't decide what they universally want to know about an applicant. For example, the Princeton application asks for the most random information about the applicant! I mean, it's actually a little fun to fill out and think about, but still. haha. I've had no choice to start working on my applications; my dad has been going nuts about me getting them done.</p>
<p>i understand what you mean...but we still have time, so get working lol</p>
<p>I agree with you 100%!!!!!!!!! I'm applying ED to Brown and I just cannot make myself even start the other applications. 20 more days until we find out about Yale and Brown. I just can't think about anything else. Oh well my winter break begins on the 15th so I'll have about two weeks to do all my other applications. Hmmmmm. It will be stressful but I think if i just focus i can get them all done and done well in that time.</p>
<p>plus i literally have no time to do my applications. The IB is killing me right now and i have major essays/projects due almost every day for the next two weeks, then I go to oxford for four days to be interviewed, and then I have a week of exams (which i will have no time to study for). JOY.</p>
<p>I'm just going to try and make my Yale essay stellar and hopefully i can then tweak it to fit the other supplements - it won't work for all of them though :(</p>
<p>Honestly everything happens for a reason, calm down and make the best of where ever you get in. IN the end it all works out</p>
<p>yea i basically would be happy going to any of the schools i applied to except for maybee 2 but those would not be bad. soo the odds are that i will go where i want if i put some effort into these applications!!! </p>
<p>I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL JANUARY! :)</p>
<p>I just realized that I have forgotten to start other apps. I am very forgetful these days.</p>
<p>Sadly, I cannot forget Ya-le.</p>
