<p>It depends. If you're talking about, say, the Phillips Academies, its quite a number. If you're talking about <em>insert random unknown public school name here</em>, I doubt they will take many.</p>
<p>Hey guys, don't be shy to post if you get rejected tomorrow. I found all the decision posts to be really helpful when I was reading the threads earlier this year. If I get rejected, I might make a new username but it's nothing to be ashamed of...so, post away no matter what? Lol.</p>
<p>24 hours! Is anyone as excited/anxious as i am?</p>
<p>^Didn't you already get in? Lol. I didn't get in, so I'm as excited/anxious and more :)</p>
<p>Collegebound,
Our school (private LA-area) placed 13 in Yale last year and this year 11 have been accepted SCEA. Good luck to all of you!</p>

<p>BurnThis, that is amazing. What do you attribute it to?
Does anyone know how Yale sends its accetpances in the mail. Some schools do it by prioty mail</p>
<p>I'm not entirely sure. I think part of it comes from relationships that develop between schools and colleges -- once they have good experiences of kids liking the college and the college liking the quality of the kids, they are more inclined to look positively at next year's students. Now, in fairness, our school also has its share of Academy Award winning actors and directors and those who have slept in the Lincoln bedroom, so some are "connection" admittees. But others I know of for this year in particular are quality kids who worked hard and didn't have an "in." I think the connections over the past few years helped the regular kids this year --now we're on Yale's radar.</p>
<p>3 1/2 hours!</p>
<p>Burnthis, do you go to Harvard Westlake? I go to Loyola and we sent 4 last year and one this year (EA) so far.</p>
<p>Av, I'm a parent. But, yes, I do send really big checks there every year. Which is why Yale doesn't seem so bad to me financially!</p>
<p>good luck to everyone! </p>
<p>i'm very anxious and very nervous...but that 9.6% acceptance rate is much higher than i thought</p>
<p>So I assume that decisions come out at 4 ET?</p>
<p>And as a sidenote: a wish our school could get 11 people in. We've only got in one person each year and this year it was a 2400/36 girl.</p>
<p>i thought they're out at 5?</p>
<p>Yale hasn't said the exact time yet. Other Ivies are releasing at 5pm EST.</p>
<p>Yale SCEA decisions were released at 4pm. Who knows? Keep refreshing. They have always said they announce "sometime in the evening." (They said that on Dec. 15, too.)</p>
<p>Edit: the Yale website currently says "Regular Decision Online Decisions
(Available late evening, March 29)"</p>

<p>oh sweet, i hope the yale website doesn't go too slow though. Yesterday it took me 2 hours to get my Duke decision</p>
<p>^Same, took me forever to get that letter to load.</p>
<p>The undergrad admissions page is updated--they've pared it down a lot, probably to keep it all from crashing (<a href="http://www.yale.edu/admit/)%5B/url%5D">http://www.yale.edu/admit/)</a>.</p>
<p>Welcome to Yale's Office of Undergraduate Admissions</p>
<p>We hope to make decisions available online sometime during the evening of Thursday, March 29, 2007. We will mail decision letters on Friday, March 30, and these letters should arrive within a few days for applicants residing in the United States. (Applicants from abroad may find that the letters take considerably more time to arrive.) Please watch this Web site for more information.</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone! </p>
<p>I'm a likely and am still scared...kudos to all of you who can keep yourselves occupied!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone</p>
<p>i have to work til 8 EST today, so I'm going to be occupied. I just hope I can contain the excitement until then....</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!
I hope that all of you get in because you guys are such amazing applicants!
Hope to see you there next year!</p>
