<p>ah.</p>
<p>guess they accepted a lot more since # of apps went up.</p>
<p>rejected! sweetness lol eh i cant be too mad its frickin yale...</p>
<p>Deferred.</p>
<p>SAT:2310
SAT II: 780, 770, 750
GPA: 4.0 u/w
Rank: tied for 1/379 u/w, weighted is meaningless cuz I transferred</p>
<p>Subjective:
Essays/recs: no clue/didn't read recs but assuming decent
Hook (if any): lots of science research, lots of music awards/stuff</p>
<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: MD
School Type: competitive public
Ethnicity: Asian
Gender: female</p>
<p>Other Factors: No interview (not my choice)</p>
<p>wow. so many distinguished deferreds!! yale is being REALLy picky !!!</p>
<p>all my friends got rejected.</p>
<p>damn. Yale means business.</p>
<p>Decision: Rejected</p>
<p>Stats:

GPA: 94.3/100 unweighted
Rank: 1st/62
Other stats: The heaviest courseload that the school offers</p>
<p>Subjective:
Essays:Main one... too generic... was hoping the supplement would help out. Guess not.

<p>Location/Person:
State or Country:BC, Canada
School Type: Small(K-12 600 in total), university prep, private
Ethnicity:Asian (Korean-Canadian)
Gender:Male</p>
<p>Other Factors: Lack of EC. All the usual club president position, band section leader, newspaper editor, etc. didn't really help probably. My 400-volunteer hour also probably didn't have much effect except on numbers. Perhaps I should have written an essay on an EC to show more about myself. I don't know. Also, being an Asian without being extraordinary probably killed me.</p>
<p>General Comments:Congratulations to all those who got accepted! I sort of screwed up my application for Yale, so I was expecting a result like this... It's just sad if I don't get into a good univ in the states, I'll probably end up going to UofT or McGill... ah w/e For those in similar situation as I am... well let's hope for the best in the RD round!</p>
<p>still waiting...</p>

<p>Accepted. And I'm not a devout person but praise the lord!</p>

<p>BROWN!!! YAY Pianoking! that's where i go heheh. I applied ED to yale and was deferred and then rejected. Its so unpredictable. Anyway, as depressed as some of you may be, with your amazing stats, you will all get in somewhere good. I got into so many other great schools, and now that I'm at brown, I couldn't see myself anywhere else. All of you will find your nice and be fine, it just takes little stress and anxiety to get there. Best of luck</p>
<p>ACCEPTED. Stats later</p>
