<p>how do you deal after seeing the stanford slaughter?! :( this weekend is going to be terrible.</p>
<p>I must say I was rather confident and optimistic awaiting Monday. Now, after seeing the Stanford board, I am starting to think of all the RD applications I have to complete.</p>
<p>Yeah, as soon as I wake up tomorrow I'm going to dig in and bust out 7 or so essays and fill out 5 apps or so.</p>
<p>Stanford Slaughter was disheartening at best.</p>
<p>i wouldn't say i was confident but i thought i had a chance at least. now i am very afraid that chance was just a hope of mine</p>
<p>Yeah, there's some brutal stuff going on in the Stanford forum.
I feel awful for some of the applicants. </p>
<p>Rawr I need to finish one of my safety apps!</p>
<p>........wow. </p>
<p>After seeing the Stanford Slaughter, I've given up all hope. I thought I was going to get deferred, but now even that seems dicey. </p>
<p>Just wow. Amazing people on Stanford forum got rejected. REJECTED, not deferred. </p>
<p>oh my.</p>
<p>you gotta admit "stanford slaughter" sounds more catchy than "yale slaughter".. so hopefully it won't happen..
have faith! ... haha i say that but i'm actually freaking out</p>
<p>The Stanford Slaughter is awful. Friends got into Cornell and Penn, so I was feeling kind of hopeful about Yale. But not anymore :(</p>
<p>Yale, please DON'T pull a Stanford. kthanks :]</p>
<p>^trabia-wind I agree. "Stanford Slaughter" sounds really epic and tragic. What should we call it when we all get rejected? Yale Massacre? Yale Carnage? Yale Bloodbath? weirdly enough, even facing rejection, I'm enjoying coming up with these names =/. I'm partial to "Yale Carnage."</p>
<p>Hey guys, as a mutilated-but-still-alive(deferred) survivor of the Stanford Slaughter, I thought I'd come wish you guys good luck. I know amazing people were rejected, but my ec's were pitiful compared to them and I was deferred, so ya never know, right? My point is, don't lose hope. My counselor told me I was a "one-look reject", so it really is random, to some degree. </p>
<p>That was an awful attempt at motivation, lol. </p>
<p>Anyways, best of luck, and if Stanford doesn't work out , with a pinch of luck I might see you guys at Yale!</p>
<p>I never expected to get into an ivy in the first place.</p>
<p>I wish my counselor would offer me advice about college. Instead, the counseling people mess up my transcripts. Oh well.</p>
<p>Thanks, Mike41691, for bringing love to the Yale board, and good luck in the RD round!</p>
<p>OMG... can you believe the caliber of rejections at Stanford??? It's unbelievable...</p>
<p>How about.... the Bulldog Bloodbath?</p>
<p>It just goes to show you CC overrates SAT's.... its more than GPA and SATs, its the story of the person and their uniqueness</p>
<p>Thanks Mike, that was really nice. I know if I got deferred, I wouldn't even think to go comfort some other school's applicants. Good luck with Stanford and your Yale app, too :)</p>
<p>i like the Yale Massacre :P and Bulldog Bloodbath works too haha</p>
<p>Hillhouse Horrors presents: Connecticut Carnage or How the Yelping Yale Hopefuls endured the Bloodbath and Bulldoggery.</p>
<p>Somehow I feel better knowing that there is a bloodbath coming. That way I won't take my imminent rejection so personally. We shall all be ritually slaughtered at Yale's altar.</p>
<p>not that i relish the idea of it happening, of course :/
those poor stanford people...might be us, come monday</p>
<p>This is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING!!!</p>
