SCEA Applicants

<p>Am I the online one who's applying online? It seems like everyone here is or has done paper app.</p>

<p>No, I sent my app in online last Sunday and got an e-mail notification today that they received it, and that they will send another confirmation in the mail with what, if anything, is missing from my file (recs, etc). They also sent an e-mail regarding my local alumni interviewer - although I did have a campus interview, so is this normal? I'm a little confused.</p>

<p>Anyways, it works, even if there might be some delay.</p>

<p>I'm so excited! I just got my application confirmation email from Yale. Now I must wait for my interview :)</p>

<p>I am in the WORST mood. I worked so hard on my essay, and I already sent in my application, and then i decided to have my counselor read my personal statement (which I worked the most on)...and he basically told me it was *****. He said "If you're aiming for a school like BU, then its great. But you're not" Then he gave it a grade as if it were an SAT. He gave it a 1300! I think the man is crazy.</p>

<p>See, the person i went to for help was my former french teacher whose husband and son went to Yale (and her sons friend worked in the admissions office at Yale), and her daughter was an admissions officer for Tufts...they all read my essay and said it was great...</p>

<p>Does anyone else have problems with thier college counselor?</p>

<p>I LOVE my college counselor. Don't listen to the guy. He seems crazy. :) hehe One of my teachers told me today that she mailed off my rec.. I haven't mailed my app in yet! Won't that look a bit weird? It will be gone by Thursday... still fixing the activity essay.. blah hey, if the daughter said it was great, it prob. is... It all depends on the person. People think differently. If you thought it was your best work, then it prob. was! :)</p>

<p>haha...college counselors don't really look at essays here. Instead, they just write recs for students like me that they barely know. My only issue is that my GC is going to lavish all the students with so much praise that it will look like recommendation inflation. Besides that, I think your GC is a little harsh and you should ignore what he says if you think its a good essay. You seem to have gotten a ton of help, be more confident. I'm sure its great.</p>

<p>Oh no... I sent in my app online on Sat but I haven't received an e-mail confirmation. I hope nothing's wrong!!</p>

<p>Please don't worry wmgan! I'm sure they're swamped with applications, it just takes time to file them. It took 8 days for me to receive a confirmation email after I sent mine. All is well!</p>

<p>did you send it online or by snail mail?</p>

<p>Once they receive everything, do they give you a pin number that you can log onto the site with to see your status?</p>

<p>My application has finally been completed and handed in today. It is quite a burden off my shoulders but I'm so paranoid that I did something wrong or forgot something. Plus I'm 10 times more nervous now than I was before.</p>

<p>if you forget something, they'll probably let you know via phone or email. so don't worry about that. I hope they don't mind a typo or two, because there may be a few left for me.</p>

<p>If I only send this to Yale now, can it be edited later for other schools?</p>

<p>I think that as a group we all need to take a deep breath and try to relax. Nothing left to do now but wait for the interview and then the dreaded December 16th!</p>

<p>hey another question! When I submitted my CSS Profile, it said that it would be sent on November 2ND! That's a day AFTER Nov. 1st! What do I do?</p>

<p>I think you are ok chidimma. I haven't sumbitted mine yet.</p>

<p>Hey, also, is the CSS Profile the only thing we need to submit for financial aid info?</p>

<p>yours gave you a submit date? thats odd, mine just gave a submission reciept and said thanks for your money.</p>

<p>I agree with flachica. 1...2...3...breath in...
& now try to hold it till December 16th. 9am. </p>

<p>I already got my teacher to let me out of class that period on Dec. 16 to either a) run through the halls cheering (most likely NOT), or b) sulk in a pool of my own self pity when i get rejected/deferred.</p>

<p>I still have to write my activity essay. :(</p>

<p>I'm getting really, really discouraged. It's the only part of my application that's still in my hands, yet I can't bring myself to work on it. Everytime I start, I get frustrated and quit. </p>

<p>Ick. Congrats to you guys who have everything submitted.</p>

<p>yeah, it said it will be sent on November 2nd. I remember I freaked out. haha</p>
