OH SNAP YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!!

Being on this forum for a couple of months, I have noticed that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU is amazing, and that in the end, all of you guys will get into a great college. Always remember that this decision does not define your capabilities in any way. Remember: December 15, 2006- 5:00pm(ish).

Lol...wow...we have really gone crazy in these last few days haven't we?

Cozmo · December 14, 2006, 9:29am

Just an aside--I think that we, as future leaders of tomorrow, need to take some initiative about nomenclature here... 'ohlevel' isn't gonna cut it. 20-eleven, now--there's an idea. We didn't go around in 1996 calling it 'nineteen hundred and ninety-six" after all, did we?"

Ohleven isn't that bad, though.

therealmj · December 14, 2006, 11:02am

I don't know, that seems kind of cluttered. There's always One-One, I guess, but I'm not the most creative person in the world.

Grace · December 14, 2006, 11:04am

Good luck from the Williams board!

rl.hill · December 14, 2006, 3:59pm

[] Job/Work Experience: Nannying all summer, babysitting off and on
[] Essays (subject and responses): One hard to explain... about how I got over my fear that learning music theory would make my songwriting process to lifeless and theoretical and how that taught me to cross the line between the creative and theoretical and how now I want to do it with science and go from the theoretical to the creative and into research. The other one was about when my dad was really sick last year and had heart surgery and we didn't know if he would make it and how I dealt with it and grew from it. I thought they were really well-written and the best part of my application.
[] Teacher Recs: One was ridiculously good, I was amazed when I read it. The other still very very positive but not as detailed as the first one.
[] Counselor Rec: Just got a new counselor so he doesn't know me well. He had some grammatical errors in it, but it was very positive and said accurate things about me.
[] Interview (feel, interviewer and general location): It was a little weird because my interviewer never asked me to basic questions (ex: "Why do you want to go to Yale?") but we got along well and talked for a long time.

[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: Because almost everyone was deferred, my test scores aren't that hot and well, Yale is really random anyway, so you can never really know.[/li][/ul]Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I'm upset because I really wanted to get in, but I'm glad that I at least got deferred, not rejected. I really, really, really hope that my friend who also applied early gets in, because Yale is 100% perfect for her and she is amazing. So, as long as she gets in, I think I'll be fine for a while. I just hope hope hope hope I have good news come April.

General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:
I don't think my experience is the norm for most of you guys. I ace standardized tests, but not my classes. (Although to be fair, I'm at a school with crazy grade deflation, where the average HYP kid gets about a 92 UW.) Then I've got the legacy, which isn't the norm.

Good luck to all of you, and congratulations to those who got accepted. All of you are great kids.
