Ivy Day 2017

Do the portals usually crash or take forever to get into?

@drowning2021
In my experience, yes, they do, but I think everything should be working about half an hour after the results are released. I logged into my Yale portal at 5:00 pm exactly and it worked fine, but was a little laggy (page took around 30 seconds to a minute to load) and logged into my Princeton portal at around 5:05 pm. The Princeton portal kept crashing on me and I wasn’t able to actually log in until around ten minutes later. So you might not get your results at 5:00 pm on the dot, but if you’re able to wait a little bit, you should be fine!

In what order to people check their decisions?

Most likely to least likely because you wanna start off on a good note or least likely to most likely because you wanna end off on a good note?

Anyways, good luck guys! Remember that regardless of tomorrow’s outcome : your are valid.

Applied to Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Columbia. Already been accepted to JHU, William and Mary, Hamilton, Vassar, and UNC Chapel Hill, and waitlisted at UChicago, so I’m really happy with results so far. I’m expecting four rejections tomorrow though. I’m gonna be so upset.

Only Ivy I am waiting on is Harvard. Was planning on applying to Yale too, but then I got admitted to Stanford EA. Other schools I’ve been accepted to are USC, Trinity, and Creighton. Got waitlisted at Washington and Lee which I found interesting. Hoping to hear about everyone’s acceptances! You have all worked so hard and we’re almost there!!!

I am dreading this evening so much…

Good luck everyone!

@Cariño, ‘negative numbers’!!! That’s so funny! Lol

I’m mentally prepared for all rejections, but still believe I will be able to snatch 12.5% of the Ivy Love

Opening least preferred to most preferred:
Cornell
Columbia
Dartmouth
Brown
Harvard
Princeton
UPenn

The Day arrived!!! Good luck everyone!!! All of you will end in amazing places!!! And there is always graduate schools if your dream college says no. My nephew first choice was Yale, but he was rejected. He went to WashUSTL, and now is in Yale Med school…Keep work and hopes up!!!

Happy Ivy Day everyone! THIS is the day that some of us have been preparing for for the past 12 years of our lives! Whatever happens today, we are all very intelligent people who will make a difference in the world at the school we choose to attend. Remember, it’s what YOU make of it. The Ivy Leagues are amazing schools, but that doesn’t mean they are the ONLY great schools. I wish you all the best of luck! Happy Ivy Day, and may the odds be ever in your favor…

Did anyone get an email from Cornell giving them their PIN to access their decision like an hour back?

@AstralWanderer yup I got that too. I’m so nervous for later today.

God Bless everyone here on CC!! If it’s God’s will, you will get into the uni that your heart desires!! But even if you don’t, just know that it’s because there’s a better place out there already pre-planned for you, where you will be able to reach your full potential and meet life long friends! :slight_smile:

I’m so chill on Ivy day today. Rejected by MIT, WUSTL, and waitlisted at Grinnell and just waiting to hear on Brown today. I’m very confident I’ll get rejection, but I’m feeling so chill about it. I’ve already started to picture myself at my state school and I’m really starting to see the benefits. I’d probably go to Brown if I got in, but I’ve started thinking about the benefits of going to my state school cheap, being one of the top students, and rooming with one of my best friends in high school. All of us know Ivy day is crazy and unpredictable but try thinking of this as a bonus and not a make or break. Good luck to you guys.

good luck, hope you all get the schools that you want! so nervous rn ahhhh

Best of Luck All !

So nervous…Just 4 hours left…
