<p>When the ivy admission letters come out what order will you read them in? (that is, if you're applying to more than one)</p>
<p>I'm just a junior but if it was me, I'd open Yale last (love yale!) to put the rejection off as long as possible</p>
<p>Yale first, Harvard second and last.</p>
<p>It’s interesting watching everyone around you get accepted and rejected knowing that you’ll be next next year, isn’t it? I’m applying this autumn too.</p>
<p>Opening Rice first then Vanderbilt but Vandy sends there letters next Saturday so ill be openings theres TECHNICALLY first</p>
<p>I’ll probably open Yale first as it’s my least likely chance, then Brown. And then Dartmouth and Cornell since I’ve gotten likely letters from them and if I get in it’ll help sooth the crushing rejection of Yale and Brown :P</p>
<p>Letters? You check online. Maybe line up two or three laptops next to your desktop, log into each account and on the count of three, hit ENTER to each portal.</p>
<p>@T26E4: Haha true, I was simply going with logging in in that order… however I may try that. I remember on the December ACT when everyone was trying to check their scores at once and the system kept overloading and going down we had 15 school laptops lined up on a lab station in my physics room constantly going in a circle hitting refresh to try and get through… ahh good times. Hopefully the online servers for checking admissions won’t go down or at least not for too long :S</p>
<p>Haha. If they all arrived in my mailbox (US postal service, not email) and I had not received any emails yet, I’d open the fat ones first and the skinny ones second.</p>
<p>I applied to HYP and the other for checking is going to be: Harvard then Princeton then Yale (or at least it is for right now)</p>
<p>Only 10 days away!!!</p>
<p>I’ll open Harvard first and throw the rest away because I know I will get in there so why bother with the others.</p>
<p>I’m going to open six tabs on Safari, enter the login info for each and then quickly scroll through each one while pushing the enter button. I don’t know what I’ll do after that haha</p>
<p>I’m considering holding off on every letter, until they’re all there. Then I’d open them in reverse order of expectations (good news after, so I finish on a good note). But I don’t know if I’ll be able to hold on that long…</p>
<p>^ I’m going in order of expectation, as well.</p>
<p>So</p>
<p>H
P
Y</p>
<p>Since my first 2 Subject Test scores are great and my third one is terrible, I figure that makes Yale the most objectively possible out of the 3.</p>
<p>74777… I would be hugely impressed if you can hold out from opening decisions when you know they are either there, in the mailbox or online. Some schools are in mid-next week and some won’t show up until April 1. If you’ve got that kind of patience, more power to ya… I’d crumble in about 10 minutes. Holding off telling anyone else? I could do that pretty easily.</p>
<p>I would open Dartmouth first then Princeton second. I don’t really think I have a great chance at Princeton, but Dartmouth sent me a letter asking me to apply. So I might get into Dartmouth, maybe.</p>
<p>I’ll check Columbia first, then Cornell, because I’ve already received my likely letter from Cornell.</p>
<p>Harvard, Princeton, Upenn, then Columbia, and finally Dartmouth (where I got a likely, so it will soften the blow of having my dreams crushed by the aforementioned colleges)</p>
<p>Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Harvard
At least start with the good news, then build up the anxiety!! XD</p>
<p>the random order they appear on my bookmarks (bookmarked the pages over the course of the past few months:</p>
<p>columbia, penn, brown, then cornell.</p>
<p>i’ll check princeton first, then harvard. georgetown’s only snail mail, i already have a likely from penn (and i can’t remember my username for the portal, which is pathetic), and stanford may announce before then.</p>
