<p>Baelor WORK on your EAGLE... trust me it's as rewarding as getting into Stanford.</p>
<p>can ppl stop posting these acceptance letters? it hurts for the ppl who got reject/deferred</p>
<p>I, for one, like looking at the acceptance letters. It's like I'm living vicariously through the accepted people haha.</p>
<p>This is honestly, to some degree, getting lucky.</p>
<p>its called self deception</p>
<p>Rejected T.T</p>
<p>Congrats to all of you who got in though!</p>
<p>Accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOH MY GOD</p>
<p>1980 SAT
29 Act</p>
<p>more to come</p>
<p>Deferred.
Thank you early indecision.
:/ At least we can all move on now.</p>

</p>
<p>That's touching...not. "Oh no, I'm not going to get in, the world's going to end!" to this...not really cool.</p>
<p>Since this needs references, here is a good example. </p>
<p>And to clarify, this isn't being sore about rejection in general. Its being sore about his behavior then and now.</p>
<p>1980 SAT?!?!</p>
<p>How did you pull that off? o.O</p>
<p>Obviously URM, legacy, or athlete.</p>
<p>urm and quasi first gen</p>
<p>29ACT falls within the middle 50% btw
^^^</p>
<p>Stanford's average is only 31</p>
<p>Rejected</p>
<p>SAT I: 2300
SATII: 780, 800, 800
No rank</p>
<p>work to get into Stanford=7 years
number rejected:20000
work*rejected=140000 years of human life invested just to be rejected</p>
<p>All to go to a school, which though nice, offers an education marginally better than competitors who would have required 1/10th the effort to get in.</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

General Comments: I guess I was one of the lucky people... I want to say congratulations to all of you who were accepted, and to those of you deferred/rejected, don't lose hope! You're gonna go somewhere amazing.</p>
<p>"Why did you cross out harmless links and phone numbers, and not your name?"</p>
<p>My name is crossed off, I don't know what you're talking about. :P Honestly, I missed it when I posted.</p>
<p>"can ppl stop posting these acceptance letters? it hurts for the ppl who got reject/deferred"</p>
<p>Someone asked, and I think we all posted at the same time.</p>
<p>Look, this admissions is a crapshoot. I got accepted by chance. Seriously. Considering some of these other applicants with the same stats who have gone through many more hardships than I have, I realize how this random this process is. I didn't fully understand until now. I love you all</p>
<p>I would argue that random doesn't begin to describe it</p>
<p>hey everyone, i'm a visitor from the yale forum, and i just wanted to say how humbled i am by these results. it seems like EVERYONE on this thread had amazing stats/ECs/pretty much everything...i really can't see much of a difference between the quality of the candidates accepted and those rejected.</p>
<p>until now, i thought of myself as having a pretty decent shot at yale, but this thread really put the competitiveness of this year's applicant pool in context for me...so thank you, for that. you're all amazing students--my best wishes to everyone, whether you were accepted or not!!</p>
