<p>Someone should create a post-decision thread: Harvard class of 2009? Princeton has. Yale, I think, will. It generates a different genre of discussion. It effectively puts the season of college apps behind you.</p>
<p>go ahead and make it. no one is stopping you</p>
<p>I'll defer to whoever wants to start it at the appropriate time.</p>
<p>someone will make it..dont worry about that</p>
<p>I persoonally prefer princetons format and think we should do it here. This template. Very organized and effective.</p>

<p>Obsessive-compulsive to the bitter end, eh? ;)
Do you guys know that in a very few years you will not remember exactly what your own scores were? In fact, pretty much no one will ever care again.</p>
<p>well..all i have to say is LETS GO HARVARD</p>
<p>PSedrishMD, your one-word-only-thread is what's needed on these Ivy boards. As I commented on the Yale board, the one-word-only thread idea is a great suggestion for cutting through the admissions decisions clutter. Keep the multiple threads but simplify on the one-word-only thread.</p>
<p>Wonderful.</p>
<p>Cool beans. I'm gonna keep it on the top and I'm gonna edit out anything other than the words "accepted", "deferred" and "rejected".</p>
<p>sounds good. A thread like that is a nice way to excape the clutter. though I think a stats thread should also be around it your thread will be necessary as well to get quick clutterfree results.</p>
<p>PSedrishMD, I think you need to put it on top of all the Ivy boards. For a while, the Princeton folks weren't sure who was or wasn't in, because there were so many decision threads.</p>
<p>PSedrishMD, great going for simplifying the Yale decision-posting scenario.</p>
<p>Dr. Sedrish....None of the words you're allowing (i.e. "accepted, "rejected", "deferred") are over the ten letter limit!</p>
<p>add a happy face or a sad face:
accepted :)
deferred :o
rejected :(</p>
<p>Somehow, I prefer "denied" over "rejected." You're left with a little bit of dignity.</p>
<p>eliz: mods can leap tall buildings in a single bound; character limits are a cakewalk.</p>
<p>but they aren't cakewalk for us :-P</p>
<p>so do you want to edit everyone's post?</p>
<p>and how does harvard put it in the letter?</p>
<p>i heard their rejection letters were rather mean.</p>
<p>I don't want to edit all posts, just in that thread...to keep it simple to scan.</p>
<p>Azmodan, the meanest letters come from Columbia. Everybody else tries to soften the blow a little better than Columbia.</p>
