<p>oh god</p>
<p>I’ve been a nervous wreck for the past few days :****(((( I’m falling into a spiral of negativity…</p>
<p>Chuck piano. This is Yale :)</p>
<p>Seriously, I don’t think you could concentrate either way (+ve or -ve answer).</p>
<p>I think the worst part is how many ppl KNOW I’ve applied SCEA. So of course I’ll have to tell them the decision. Which will be fine if I get in, of course, but absolutely mortifying if I’m denied and still pretty awful if I’m deferred. And I can’t be like, Oh, I don’t really wanna say, b/c of course they’d assume I’m rejected.</p>
<p>I REALLY don’t wanna have to tell all these nosy people. Damn.</p>
<p>WOW I totally agree! I’ve been blabbing for the last four years that Yale was my dream school and now everyone knows and guess who’ll be asked whether she got in or not a bazillion times on December 15? I’ve made a pledge to myself not to post admissions decisions on any social networking media so that means…texts… :/</p>
<p>How does it matter? Everyone in my school (and others which is just weird) knows too, and in a way it’s bad cause they all keep saying I will/should get in, but if I don’t, it doesn’t matter that they know. I mean, it’s YALE. Getting in is NOT easy even if you’re a super good applicant. What people think about deferral/rejection is the last thing you should worry about. It’s not worth it. :)</p>
<p>I think I know that intellectually kaira but it’ll just be really difficult considering a lot of people are like, “oh, you should/will get in.” I have always hated attention over stuff like this. When I was little I got the wind knocked out of me and the thing I was most focused on was resisting the urge to cry. If people came over I was like, “No, I’m fine” and smiled even though I was in a lot of pain. I guess I just wish it were sort of more my prerogative who I tell.</p>
<p>Hmmmm, I have been trying to do everything else except think about this, yet i find myself on the Yale website every day, repeatedly reading what they are looking for in an applicant and hoping that I fit the bill in my application. My friend applied for Yale through Questbridge but it didn’t work out, so there goes our celebration dinner. Now I’m mentally freaking out because she is absolutely awesome. Perhaps I will focus on my ACTSs instead…I’m to afraid of jinxing myself to put “Yale” and “accepted” in a coherent sentence, but if the unthinkable were to happen in some parallel universe, the first thing I would do is call my friend and contact members of the Yale Classics Club</p>
<p>13 days, 3 hours, 35 minutes and 10 seconds</p>
<p>^^ I don’t know about your friend’s financial status, but to be matched to Yale, you have to have an EFC of 0. So, don’t freak out! She’ll have a great shot in RD.</p>
<p>Come on, pot. How come you’re not boiling?</p>
<p>Seriously…I think the key to mental health about this EA stuff is to let it go for a while. But I can’t. Maybe because…dare I say it…my fondness for the CC community, and maybe sometimes this process seems like fun, maybe because of the uncertainty.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In my opinion, this process always seems like fun. The wait is the best part.</p>
<p>“The wait is the best part.”
Hmmmmmmm… I’m not too sure about that :p</p>
<p>If only we could exchange or give “waiting time” to each other… I’d gladly give you all of mine haha :D</p>
<p>Posts 128-140 made me laugh multiple times. That’s hilarious. You guys are awesome.</p>
<p>I also won’t be able to check write when they come out. I’ll be working until 5:30. Technically I have practice after that but I have decided I am ditching practice because I am definitely not waiting another three and a half hours! My coach told me I can check my status on the office computer in our gym and then come straight out for practice, but I was like, NO. That’s not happenin.</p>
<p>But I agree. I like the wait. It’s time for dreaming. :)</p>
<p>Since the decisions will come out by midnight in my timezone, I made a promise to myself that I would only check the page status in the morning. Here you go, self-inflicted suffering :)</p>
<p>13 days, 1 hour. It is slightly intimidating that we have now less than two weeks to go…</p>
<p>^ I concur. I am so scared…</p>
<p>12.5 daaaaaaaaays</p>
<p>12 days, 12 hours, 12 minutes, 12 seconds until decisions!</p>
<p>12 days, 8 hours, 58 minutes, 50 seconds!</p>
<p>I have a time difference so I find out at 6 am on Dec 16th- the last day of my finals. I seriously think that if I get accepted or rejected, I’ll end up failing my Stats final. (Too happy or depressed) :D</p>
<p>I want to scream to Yale “Give me my decision already, so I can move on with my life!”</p>
<p>…I’m super nervous as you can see.</p>
