<p>one of my good friends applied to HYPS last year. Her dad took her out to dinner after every rejection letter because he was just proud that she applied </p>
<p>but yes ec’s are really important. I sent in a music supplement too, so I don’t know how much that will affect my application</p>
<p>i had, i dont know, maybe 8 dreams last night…they were a variety of arbitrary topics.
and then they all ended the same: i was at my computer checking my yale decision. and i got accepted. and then i woke up, 8 times. it’s not healthy…</p>
<p>that’s what happened the night before I got my SAT scores I had a dream about every hour from 11pm-5am with me logging onto my computer and getting a different SAT score each time. Thankfully my actual score was much higher than my horrible nightmare scores…</p>
<p>wish they wouldn’t! I can’t believe it’s so close. I just remember when I started writing essays in the summer, and December seemed so far away. Senior year is taking forever but it’s also flying by if that makes any sense?</p>
<p>I’m sure pretty much everyone here has seen that. We know it’s gonna come out after that time. We are just desperately hoping to find out earlier, however unlikely that scenario is.</p>
<p>By the way, who here is top 1% or top 10 or valedictorian of their class? I will be the first to say I am not… I am like ~5% but I (personally) think I have some of the stronger EC’s/essays in my class so I’m hoping that will reel me in, but I’m still afraid. Any thoughts from anyone else?</p>
<p>I’m currently Valedictorian, but I’ll end up being Salutatorian by the end of this semester. Not that I’ll make a B, but I’m not taking an online course like my current co-Val.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t think they’ll think much from Val to ~5%. Both are impressive in my book, and I’m sure both are impressive in their book. Obviously, it also depends on class size.</p>
<p>I applied as 4th in my class out of about 800. I am going down, though. lol. senioritis hit me like a bus.</p>
<p>Also. I looked at the admissions portal web page and thought that in three days I’ll be entering my login information and pressing a little “login” button and I got kind of nauseous. :/</p>
