<p>I was reading the archived EA threads and it made me somewhat nostalgic. I remember us *****ing about writing essays, writing SATs, getting recs etc.</p>

<p>Chidimma said we'd make a thread like this, So guys:</p>

<p>Now that the EA process is over, what are your plans for the future.... what school do you hope to be at next year.</p>

<p>I hope I didnt miss anyone.</p>

<p>aww...how sweet! I have recently very inactive on cc due to friends, boyfriend, and other general life things. Senior year is awesome but I still haven't the foggiest where I am going next year. I got into UF...yay I guess. Anxiously waiting for March 31/April1. What about everyone else?</p>

3

<p>I was thinking about making a similar thread. Thanks David. Um, I got into Purdue and UMich. "Waitlisted" [rejected] from Wash U. So I dont know how good I'm feeling. I'll definitely update in 2 weeks. </p>

<p><strong>Praying for Penn or Columbia</strong></p>

4

<p>I'll be attending Yale next year :). I did get into Dartmouth though. I'm still waiting on a few others, but I can't see myself changing my mind.</p>

5

<p>Way to forget me! The kid who wrote his essays on Nov 1! hmph :P</p>

6

<p>Yeah I got "Waitlisted" at WUSTL,also. I hate that school. It needs to just right out reject some people. I have never heard of anyone getting rejected.</p>

7

<p>whoops... yours was the first name I wrote down. Then I must have deleted it by mistake.</p>

<p>sorry athlonmj</p>

<p>and andi's son.</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>It's been a busy few months. I've been around CC in a much condensed form, but It's time to begin coming back en masse.</p>

<p>So, after the Yale deferral, I sort of freaked and applied to a number of schools. After the January 1st deadline, I had all the esssays and app done that I needed (much better than the Yale app, argg), so I kept on adding them.</p>

<p>The list stands as:
Yale
Princeton
Dartmouth
Middlebury
Harvard
Brown
Georgetown
George Washington
American
Haverford
Amherst
Lawrence
Franklin and Marshall
Grinnell
Lewis and Clark
Whitman
University of Puget Sound
Swarthmore
Bard (I forgot for a second)</p>

<p>Crazy Right. But I also had to balance getting in with Merit Money.</p>

<p>A few preliminary results:
Grinnell- Accepted with $60,000 total (after $10,000 a year less total cost) comes to $18,000 a year for one of the nations best liberal arts schools.</p>

<p>Amherst- Accepted</p>

<p>Dartmouth- Likely letter.</p>

<p>---------------So, now I have to wait to see where to get in, and where I get money. Grinnell will probably have the best offer (they have tons of merit money to throw around and a cheaper base cost). Dartmouth was near the top of the list, so schools like Haverford are probably out.</p>

<p>Yale is still at the top, although after the deferral I made myself like Princeton more (not a great idea to make spirits go up, really harsh acceptence rate to). I'm hoping the earliers from Dartmouth and Ameherst show my competative level, but <strong><em>Different app with better essays and a short resume</em></strong>.</p>

<p>So, I still wait. I'm ok though, because I have two amazing schools and one great school that is affordable.</p>

<p>Still crossing my fingers for New Haven (for myself and all of you),

<p>Okay, so i joined the discussion the days decisions came out, because that's the day i found CC. Before that I was on pr and... well ::shudders:: we'll not mention those boards anymore.</p>

<p>I'm almost 100% that i'll be going to Yale, all I'm waiting on is a visit to campus because I haven't been there yet. So yay for bulldog days.</p>

<p>Anyways, as far as other colleges go.
Miami (OH)- Accepted. Harrison Scholar: full tuition, room, and board
University of Illinois- Accepted
University of Minnesota- Accepted
Wash. U- Waitlisted
Pomona-pending
Northwestern- Pending</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone deffered in the EA round. Looking forward to seeing some of you get accepted.</p>

<p>hey guys! this is a cute thread. </p>

<p>i just posted something looooong over on the parents' board to keep them updated. i applied to a billion and ten schools, too, after the initial "i got deferred" freak-out. here is the list: </p>

<p>brown
columbia
oberlin
harvard
princeton
upenn
stanford
berkeley
barnard
tufts
brandeis
umich (accepted to the residential college there)
jhu
northwestern</p>

<p>...whew! that's a long list. and after all that mental torment from the deferral, i've decided that i'd really like to go to brown. after all, i've been in new haven all my life, and as much as i like yale (and would probably still go to school here), i already am a part of yale. and college is a time for learning and exploring. et cetera et cetera, and now i will end my song and dance. </p>

<p>congrats to those of you who have heard from other places! in case you all haven't heard, lindsaylujh has raked up a STORM of likely letters and admit letters from various fantastic institutions. she's kept a relatively low profile on here lately, though. also, you forgot displacednewyorker from the list, who was deferred and has since heard from several great schools. </p>

<p>also, i'll be in chicago in may for a science meeting, so you chicago Yalies should totally show me around! haha. :)</p>

<p>What's up everyone! I'm glad we're getting this little update, I really do miss the comraderie we had in those months leading up to Judgement day. It still hurts to think about Yale and the rejection, but I've moved on, raised my SAT II scores all into mid 700's, lowered my rank, raised my GPA, and re-wrote my essays. I've purposely stayed away from CC for the most part ever since the end of December so that I don't really dwell on one school... </p>

<p>Accepted:
TCNJ- get in through rolling admissions... full tuition, room/board, and a free laptop. Its a great deal but I'm really hoping I get into my top choices so I won't have to go here</p>

<p>Apps pending:
Princeton
UPenn
Brown
Harvard
Georgetown
Villanova
Boston College
Providence</p>

<p>It's great to hear from everyone again! I hope March 31st/April 1st is kind to you all! lol...</p>

12

<p>hey...sorry i just saw this post....</p>

<p>i sent in an update letter with the stuff that's gone on since my deferral, and now i'm anxiously waiting for my final results.</p>

<p>i'm kind of over yale now... i know i probably won't get in still, so i'm just waiting to see where i get in before i get obsessed with a college -- though hopefully it will be somewhere good! :)</p>

<p>Since then i have been accepted at the University of Mary Washington and was sent a likely letter fROM uva. now the real waiting starts...</p>

<p>Other Colleges:
Harvard
Princeton
Columbia
Swarthmore
Duke
Dartmouth
... and way too many others :)</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

13

<p>beth (bebere) will be going to yale. i dont think she comes on CC anymore. i'll yell at her and tell her to check up on her 'EA family'. :)</p>

14

<p>Hey guys. </p>

<p>I applied to far too many schools as well. Check out the full list on PR Stats (same username) if you're interested. </p>

<p>Currently, I have likelies from Wellesley and Dartmouth, as well as acceptances from Rice, Swarthmore, and Williams. No clear favorite right now. I'll let you all know what happens April 1. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

15

<p>LINDSEY! I'm so glad that you posted. I was wondering what happened to you! I hope you are feeling much better and that school has been okay. I really got excited to see your username. haha Just thinking about you! :)</p>

<p>I'm almost pretty sure that I will be going to Yale. I did apply to some other schools ($$$ issues), thanks to good old mom and dad. :) I wish all of you the best of luck. Oh yeah, congrats!</p>

16

<p>You're too sweet. I'm still here. I just don't visit the Yale board all that much -- in fact, my dad had to email me the link to this thread to let me know I was being summoned. </p>

<p>I am feeling much better, thank you. Going back to school was AWFUL, until I worked out a plan with my teachers and counselors so that I'm doing a combination of independent study and community college night classes, so now everything is a-okay.</p>

17

<p>That's good to know! I'm glad that everything is okay! :)</p>

18

<p>Hey guys!!! I miss everyone so much! After the deferral, I kind of went into state school mode. I didn't apply to any extra colleges that weren't on my list so I'm still waiting to hear from:
Georgetown
Harvard
Stanford
Princeton
Penn
Columbia
Cornell
I'm mainly studying for the AP's and vegging until April 1st. Though there are some colleges on my list I'd like acceptances from more than others, I'm working really hard not to fall in love with any of them so that any rejections will be easier to deal with. I hope everyone can report back come April with great news!</p>

19

<p>Ouch. I feel so snubbed. Perhaps I joined a bit too late? Also, david, you forgot iplayoboe.</p>

<p>My computer has refused to connect to the internet for the past week or so, so I'm on the crappy old laptop with a slooooowww connection. Thus, it's been a while since I've been on CC. Anyway, got APs and IBs coming up. In fact, my English HL oral is on Tuesday. </p>

<p>I still plan to go to Yale, barring some miracle, like Harvard or Princeton accepting me with financial aid, which won't happen. Also, I'm counting down the days until Bulldog Days. So excited about that!</p>

<p>I got into Rice interim, and I'm visiting the campus on Friday. I hope I don't like it there, since if I do, I'll have to decide between Rice and Yale.</p>

20

<p>Don't forget me! I wasn't very CC experienced, but I did take charge of the Dec 15 Yale EA chat room on AIM!!</p>

<p>Since then, been accepted to Umass Amherst and recently....McGill University in Montr</p>
