I've given up on Yale....

<p>It's 8 Days + Various hours.</p>

<p>One week left people...it's getting so close...</p>

<p>6 days.. can't believe it!</p>

<p>Five, cool.</p>

<p>I only go to sleep because it makes me feel like time is going faster after I wake up.</p>

<p>lol I completely agree with the sleep thing. </p>

<p>I wonder who among us will be accepted...and who rejected (me) :(</p>

<p>lol 2 MONTHS TILL GRADUATION! :) never been happier</p>

<p>4 days till decisions = more like it</p>

<p>arrgh i ahve to remind myself that decisions will not affect the rest of my life 9that's actually my new mantra (actually no my mantra would be 'i WILL get into yale')</p>

<p>4 days, 6 hours, 40 minutes left!</p>

<p>although i am expecting a rejection from yale, im afraid im going to take the rejection personally... its been my goal for such a long time :(</p>

<p>Yeah even though we may all be rejected, it doesn't make the rejection feel any better :(</p>

<p>Daughter's anticipating a rejection, too. Feels at least a waitlist will be a bit more easy to accept. Difficult to beleive three days away.</p>

<p>hey there, momray, waitlist will be more agonizing i guess....it better to know once and for all...in any case best of luck...pray that she gets admitted anyway so the problem never surfaces</p>

<p>This is a very stressful week for so many students, including my son. When we visited Yale this past Fall, a group of freshmen advised my son not to get too hung up on one particular school, but to be open to others. Two of them told us that Yale was not their first choice, but one was rejected at Harvard and another at Princeton. However, they said they were thrilled to be at Yale. We also spoke to Princeton students who were rejected at Yale but now really happy to be at Princeton. I realize all those schools are wonderful, but you can be happy at other schools too. I know it has been all said before. I am just trying to relieve some of your anxiety. Keep the faith.</p>

<p>But what if I don't get into Yale, Cornell, or Dartmouth? :(</p>

<p>Aaaaaaaaaaa.......the tension is building....anyone else feel nervous 24/7? I know they say not to get too hung on one school, but what can I say...I LOVE Yale, I cant help it!</p>

<p>I am just about ready to declare....UChicago '11. And damn proud of it. I submitted one really sad essay to Yale (the second one), and afterwards I found out how bad they would frown upon me blowing the word limit by like 200 words. Oops.</p>

<p>jgonzo220, good point. That's why I said there were other good schools too. Trust me, I know that when Thursday comes, and if my son doesn't get into the schools he wanted, having been accepted to the safties will probably not help him until the disappiontment has worn off (which could be a while). Here's another corny saying, Time Heals All Wounds. So, in time, the disappointment will fade, and you will hopefully end up really enjoying your college experience, just some place else. In any event, I do wish you much success on Thursday.</p>

<p>yeah...actually if I don't get into any of those, I'm headed to UF or UNC-CH.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the rejection letter says? I'm wondering how hard it lets you down...or whether it's more "nice"</p>

<p>yeah, isn't there that thing where you see a bulldog if you're accepted? does anyone (pokepokeEAers) know the details?</p>
