<p>Yeah I'm feeling a deferral too... no one's gotten into Yale from my school in like 3 or 4 years... I hope I get in... :\ I'm not feeling very confident though</p>
<p>If I were Yale and I read my app... I don't think I would let me in. That's how you know you're screwed.</p>
<p>I can just feel the bad news coming, but a small part of me is holding out hope. I'm the same way, if I don't get it, it'll be hard to tell people. Not because they'll be disappointed, but at the same time, I'd love to be able to give my parents amazing news.</p>
<p>Exactly the same here.</p>
<p>fringey stop being so hard on yourself :) if i was yale i'd let you! you have proven yourself quite the character over the past few weeks, consoling us, making us laugh, being the biggest bulldog fan ever-- and im sure with personality as grand as yours, it shined through your app!</p>
<p>That's so nice... thank you! I really don't think that my app reflected who I am that much and even if I did, it won't make up for my transcript/SATs. Loving a school isn't enough. I wish they would come on CC, haha!</p>
<p>Thanks for being so nice to me, everyone. It makes this easier because I know I have friends here, yet harder because I may not get to go to school with you.</p>
<p>Apparently, they do come on CC. But, they won't know who's who...</p>
<p>True... I said which school I go to, though, and my birthday is clearly 3/23. That narrows it down, I hope, haha</p>
<p>if anyone of us gets outright rejected and feels horrible, listen to this song; it will automatically make you happy and give you hope for the future :]

<p>meh here i am trying to study for a darn physics test and instead i'm glancing through these forums.</p>
<p>< 17 hours.</p>
<p>Me too, I have to type a big project at biology, ant don't really feel like. I just want to see I am deferred or rejected and move on to 'why other schools' essays</p>
<p>Why Princeton: I was deferred/rejected from Yale SCEA......
Why Harvard: I was deferred/rejected from Yale SCEA......
Why Stanford: I was deferred/rejected from Yale SCEA.....
Why MIT: I was deferred/rejected from Yale SCEA......
Why the long face: I was deferred/rejected from Yale SCEA......</p>
<p>That sounds like my Why Yale essay: Harvard got rid of their early action. </p>
<p>Thanks to you guys though, Yale has soared on my own personal ranking system; it's easily my second choice out of the schools I applied to.</p>
<p>.... oh.</p>
<p>Well, that's... interesting. While I do hope you can get into Yale as a backup, I hope you get into Harvard more :-)</p>
<p>It's totally not a back-up. Yale is awesome. I'm just one of those "36% additional applicants."</p>
<p>:x</p>
<p>Fair enough... making it tough for the first-choice kids :-*</p>
<p>But it's ok... you deserve it, too</p>
<p>Rick, did you seriously state under the "Why Yale?" question that you applied because Harvard got rid of EA??</p>
<p>Of course not. I've always had Yale on my list of schools that I was going to apply to and I did apply. I was just going to be a RD candidate and not an EA one until I remembered that Harvard got rid of their EA. Thus, I decided to apply to Yale's -- here I am.</p>
<p>Rick, you're one of the infamous contributors to the 36% rise in early apps for Yale! We yalies have been saying to each other for months, "since harvard & princeton eliminated their earlies, a bunch of people who WOULD have applied there are gonna revert to yale!" curse you people! ;)</p>
<p>i have to admit my heart was not really in that winky emoticon. curse you.</p>
<p>Yeah, I wish they would have made Yale ED so we could prove our loyalty that way, hahaha.</p>
