<p>Good luck guys :)</p>

<p>I feel nervous for you guys but good luck to all who applied through Questbridge.</p>

<p>I was deferred; I already knew I would be because I was pretty sure my income was too high for Yale’s College Match (their EFC must be $0). I don’t know if I would have been matched otherwise, but I do know that that was why I wasn’t matched.</p>

<p>Hey physicsnut, CONGRATS!!! This is amazing. Wow.</p>

<p>You’re so modest in your post, too. If I got in, I would preface it with tons of cheerful expletives and such.</p>

<p>Congratulations. This makes the wait way more unbearable though</p>

<p>Surely there are some more QB applicants right?</p>

<p>Congratulations!! That’s WONDERFUL! :)</p>
