Official Yale SCEA Countdown Thread!

<p>yeah, i'm more antsy about the election!!! just a few more hours until history is made...:)</p>

<p>Every day I'll just be in school, working on a math problem or something, then randomly Stop. "Wait. Today's the 5th, so that means... 40 DAYS AHHH!"</p>

<p>I am personally not that anxious. A rejection or acceptance letter (or deffering one for that matter) will not be the end all moment for me.</p>

<p>Yeah, There's always Harvard. </p>

<p>JK, I'm not even applying to Harvard. </p>

<p>Seriously though, if I get in, I hope Yale can give me a spanking good FA package or else even the UCs will be competitive with Yale.</p>

<p>oooh I'm applying to harvard, princeton, and columbia even if i get into yale early. i need to compare financial aid packages.... plus i really want to go to at least 2 admit weekends!!!!! :)</p>

<p>I just want to get in :)</p>

<p>haha i probably won't be at school the entire month of April...even if i fall completely in love with Yale during my visit next next week and get in EA, I'm not rescinding any of my other apps and i will definetely attend as many admit weekends as I can!!</p>

<p>haha- I heard admit wkends are actually really fun and there's cool concerts and stuff..
but i don't want to think that far yet...</p>

<p>so i just read over the pdf version of my application (because I just figured out that I could).</p>

<p>annnnnddddd... I'm really happy with how it turned out!</p>

<p>38 days! :)</p>

<p>AHHH I sent mine in the 28th....day before my birthday!!
Good luck to everyone here!</p>

<p>2 questions:
One of my recommendation-writing teachers is a slacker. When does she need to get hers in, so I can start visiting her every day after school?
I have my Eli usename/pw. Does anyone know what time of day the decision gets posted online? So I don't end up at 12:01 am hitting refresh? (SAT score-checking...bad memories....)</p>

<p>I think it's at 5 PM. I know that was the case 2 years ago when my friend applied (but that was also 2 years ago, so maybe things have changed, but the date hasn't changed so why should the time?).</p>

<p>I heard it was around 5PM too...</p>

<p>BTW - I looked at the pdf of my application and I'm kind of ****ed at how ugly and inconsistent the fonts are. Oh well...lol</p>

<p>After reading about what happens if you're accepted (when you check online), I will now cringe every time I see a bulldog until December 15th.</p>

<p>Seriously.</p>

<p>Lol, if only I was that set on going to Yale would I really be that disappointed in not being accepted. I realize college admissions are a crapshoot in the first place.</p>

<p>I think that most of us realize that admissions are a crapshoot, but that doesn't mean that we won't be disappointed.</p>

<p>ugh the most frustrating part is that now that we've submitted our apps we can't do anything else (i've already had my interviews). We just have to sit and wait. Wait. Waittttttttttt. </p>

<p>Sigh, i just wanna know now!</p>

<p>if everyone believes that they will get rejected, the outcome on december 15 will only be positive:</p>

<p>1) if you got rejected, then you were right in the first place
2) if you got in, then you were wrong</p>

<p>Exactly, that's why everyone is saying they will be rejected, even though in their mind they want to be accepted.</p>

<p>35 days !! :)</p>
