<p>This happened last year. The system can’t handle that many people checking at once, so some people are able to access it, while others can’t. Personally, I arrived at two completely blank screens before I was able to access it a full 5 minutes after my friend called me to tell me her result. </p>
<p>Be patient. You’ll find out.</p>
<p>we got our decisions :(</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted</p>
<p>Objective:[ul]

[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: One was amazing (by the aforementioned teacher, my AP English Language teacher), One by my AP Physics B teacher (I was the only one in the class to get a five, so I’d assume it would be good.)
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Being at my school means you don’t know your guidance counselor; I know one of the other ones (and she had gotten an award from Yale, too) but they wouldn’t let me switch. I filled out the questionnaire, though, so that’s as good as it could be.

<p>General Comments: Good luck to everyone :] Whoever got in, you guys deserved it. Seeing as Yale isn’t my DREAM school, I guess I deserved this deferal seeing as I don’t have true passion for this school. I know I’ll end up where God wants me, and that’s all that matters. Hopefully good things will happen in April :] Sigh, can I wait four months?</p>
<p>AND ALSO DON’T SUBMIT YOUR THINGS TOO EARLY LEST YOU WANT TO CHANGE THEM. Lol that essay will scar me forever.</p>
