<p>I forgot to mention that I've taken math outside of school for the past two years. Considering I'm applying as an applied math major, that's... kind of bad. Should I email them? Write a letter? Call? Have my guidance counselor do it?</p>
<p>Thanks, mistofthekane! I know I am probably being really silly.</p>
<p>As for reading over my app, the thing that I don't regret at all are my essays. I think they are some of the best things I've written (they should be, I spent more time on them than any other piece of writing in my life).</p>
<p>But yes, happy thoughts! Even if none of us get into Yale, there will still be bunnies in the world. And bunnies are adorable!</p>
<p>be happy be happy!!!!!</p>
<p>There's nothing you can do about your application now! And just think, maybe it's better that you left off that one activity here, or didn't revise the sentence over there. It's all in the eyes of the beholder and what you view as mistake may seem like gold to an admissions officer.</p>
<p>Besides... we're all going to be deferred anyway ;)</p>
<p>I just got my ELI details via email today.</p>
<p>But the status page said that no scores have been received, even though I sent all the scores like 3 months ago. Could it be because I hadn't yet submitted my application fee then?</p>
<p>What should I do?</p>
<p>Yeah, eatingfood is probably right.
I'm 99.348% sure I'll be deferred.</p>
<p>hieronymus--that's strange. They should have received them. I sent my scores in a few days before the deadline and before even submitting anything. I got my ELI ID, etc on email a day or two ago and all of my scores were there.
I say call collegeboard/ACT ppl and ask them what could have happened.</p>
<p>has anyone stillll not gotten their Eli ID? :(</p>
<p>I feel for ya princessbell... I was a nervous wreck about getting my Eli number until I finally got it, and seeing everyone on here say they have their can't be very reassuring either. When did you submit your application?</p>
<p>Having your Eli ID is comforting for about the first hour. But now I just want to check every day even though I know nothing will be put up until Nov. 15th.</p>
<p>By the way, I get the feeling I'm going to be getting to know a few of you quite well in the next month.</p>
<p>Let's hope we all get in...</p>
<p>LOL @mistofthekane</p>
<p>I think my chances of admission are probably something like 15% of acceptance, 15% of rejection, and 70% of deferral. Not that I don't have hope, but I am already preparing for a deferral. Anyone else? :P</p>
<p>^^ Yes! At this point, though, I'm more like 5% acceptance, 80% deferral, 15% rejection. I can only hope to be deferred at this point - there's no way I'll get in, but if I'm not outright rejected ["No, you will never fit in at Yale. Why did you even try? Haha thks for the $75 btw"] and just get deferred, then I'll survive.</p>
<p>deferral is the hardest, but at least it's not rejection :)</p>
<p>Is there even a difference between deferred and rejected applicants? Looking at the results threads from the past, deferred students are virtually indistinguishible from rejected ones (at least on CC. I'm sure people with 2000- SATs apply for the hell of it.)</p>
<p>The problem with the threads on CC is that you can't read the essays, and the essays are one of the most humanizing parts of the application. For those 1000 words, you are not a statistic, a number, or a list of activities, but a living, breathing person speaking to the AO. Which may be why similar candidates on paper have different results.</p>
<p>So the answer is: We can't really know can we? If I ever get into college and then get out of it again, I would love to spend some time working at an AO just to see what this magical land that is deciding our futures is actually like.</p>
<p>^ I agree. At these schools, I really think it's the essays that get unhooked applicants in (non- athletes, legacies, minorities).</p>
<p>Hmm... they should have got your scores... Maybe you sent it too early. </p>
<p>I sent mine 2 days before deadline, didn't even bother to rush them, and they got it.</p>
<p>33 more days.</p>
<p>^ the wait is really becoming unbearable... lol</p>
<p>don't get too hyped, everyone. remember to enjoy your thanksgiving weekend. and then after the dec. 15th announcement, remember to celebrate your christmas/hanukkah/kwanzaa/winter break.</p>
<p>i'd be loathed to find out that some CC'er went on some shooting rampage because she/he didn't get an acceptance letter....or did get an acceptance but became hysterical with joy. lol.</p>
