<p>@Raphael truer and more apt words have never been said.</p>
<p>My stomach feels like I’ve committed seppuku… and it’s not even close to admissions-decision day.</p>
<p>Even though I have a likely letter in my hand, the wait was still agonizing. I was honestly just ready for them to give me a decision, yes or no, I did not care. I wanted to be able to get over it as soon as I could, and then move on with my life.</p>
<p>^ Yale sent out the early likely letters already? Just athletes or non-athletes too?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think being free over Christmas break is just a side-gift. The real gift would last for the next four, nay, 80 years.</p>
<p>Yale sent out likely letters? I did not get one and have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. :(</p>
<p>Edit: they must be for non-athletic recruits because athletic recruits usually get their letters in October. Sigh.</p>
<p>I’m an athlete. I actually just got it yesterday.</p>

No pressure, then, right? haha</p>

I know! I honestly have a nagging feeling that I’ll get accepted, but I don’t want to concentrate on it… I’ve been telling myself that I’ll get a deferral, and in that case, I’ll treat Yale as if it’s out of the picture. Which hurts inside. :(</p>
<p>@Owlehn, for the last few days, I’d been feeling good about my application (coming from exactly where you are, though I have no idea what your stats are like)…then, I talked to my friend last year who told me he had been feeling very confident and then he got the SCEA decision and was crestfallen. :-/</p>
<p>I wish there something we could do–like a magic dance–to find out now/be accepted.</p>
<p>:/ x 1000 = D,: <—how I feel</p>
<p>I don’t have the best standardized test score, but I feel confident in it. 34 ACT comp, 4.0GPA, 1/80 in class, etc.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That made me crack up. =P</p>
<p>Obviously the circumstances of that comment are not funny, that post just caught me off guard.</p>
<p>17 days! Wow, that’s not even three weeks!</p>
<p>^There are only 16 days, 17 hours, 41 mins, 04 seconds left before it explodes.</p>
<p>Make sure you enter exactly as follows: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42! That is the secret to gaining admission.</p>
<p>But 18 isn’t one of the special numbers? :P</p>
<p>This is like getting the results back from a test. If it’s good I wanna know right away but if it’s bad please hide it from me forever teacher (but secretly I still wanna know).</p>
<p>Haha Madshock. Good one. </p>
<p>How did you end up with your username? I like it. :)</p>
<p>When I get an iffy test back, I just leave it on my desk facedown. That might be like my decision. I don’t know if I can bring myself to open it. Prolonging knowing prolongs the dream that I could actually go to Yale.</p>
<p>(I sound pretty pathetic)</p>
<p>Hahaha. Naah not that bad. </p>
<p>I just grab the test in a rush to get it over with once and for all. I think I’ll do the same with the decisions.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how we get results? Does the decision show up when we log into the Eli account, or do they send us an email with a new login for the decision?</p>
<p>In the email that gave you your Eli information, there is a link to the decisions portal</p>
