<p>okay, so this is for all the rejects who don't quite want to leave the yale forum but don't really know what to do.</p>
<p>just know...you all rock and i'm sure we will all get pass this to lead wildly successful lives and live happily ever after.</p>
<p>i think that, come april, we should all come back and post what other schools we DID get into, even if its just for next year's rejects to see what is down the road. a long way off, i know, but i thought i should post this now :)</p>
<p>Oh oboe... I totally sympathize with you. I have 9 other apps to do and now I have to sign up to re-take my SAT II's, which probably kept me out of Yale. So much work to do in 4-5 days...</p>
<p>hey guys.......that really destroyed my confidence. I would have loved with a deferral. OH well, i will try and apply elsewhere. I'm looking at:
UPENN
Dartmouth
Duke
and other non Ivy league, non "top 10" schools.
*HUGS everyone........we all gave it our best</p>
<p>I also expected a deferral. However, I'm glad I was rejected flat-out rather than deferred and then rejected. I've seen the stats of some people who were rejected-- and there are some VERY qualified people who didn't get in, so we're in good company. I knew that Yale was a reach from the get-go. Fortunately, Brown was my first choice. My parents wouldn't let me apply ED to any schools, so EA to my second choice school was my next best option.</p>
<p>The only thing I'm annoyed about is that I sent my Dec. SAT scores to Yale (expecting to be deferred) when I could have sent them to another one of my schools for free! :) I think my mom took this worse than I did.</p>
<p>If the worst thing that can happen is that I attend an in-state university with pretty darn close to a full ride or a full ride, then I suppose I can't complain.</p>
<p>So, on to my Brown, Dartmouth, and Wellesley applications.</p>
