Official Yale EA Decisions - Class of 2010

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University
1

<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>It's been great talking, chatting, and commiserating with the Yale EA family for the past 4 months. We are definitely a close group, and I know this has been said a million times, but no matter what happens, we'll all end up somewhere great. We worked our butts off in high school, and endured the longest wait out of all the other colleges for the results. Whatever happens tomorrow, don't let it define you. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Use this format for posting decisions.</p>

<p>Please try and keep this thread for decisions only, and let's try and minimize the amount of clutter. We can create a discussion thread later.</p>

2

<p>Can you guys add EC's and leadership, too? I think that would help for prospective '11ers.</p>

<p>Also, indicate the rigor of your school - not just if it's public/private.</p>

3

<p>could everyone also put senior courseload in as a category in addition to the rigor of each school? it'd also help prospective '11ers.</p>

4

<p>good luck everyone!</p>

<p>I'm pulling a close to an all nighter. I'll probably sleep through the time that Yale releases decisions online..hhaa...</p>
