<p>So I'll start off,</p>
<p>Applying to Yale is like stealing candy from a baby. It feels good at first, then it feels bad, and if you fail, you feel horrible.</p>
<p>Applying to Yale is like cramming for a test. It's hit or miss, and you're exhausted after wards either way. (of course, in one case, it'll be a great elation and the other a sinking abyss of despair) : )</p>
<p>Applying to Yale is like fighting a bear: damn scary, and only the best or the most foolish do it. You know you'll almost certainly fail, but goddamn it would it be awesome to succeed.</p>
<p>Okay, applying to Yale isn't really like fighting a bear. I just like the idea of fighting a bear.</p>
<p>Hmm... applying to Yale is like...</p>
<p>Trying to think of a good analogy for applying to Yale. Really hard, potentially embarrassing, but you feel great if you succeed (which I haven't)!</p>
<p>Applying to Yale is like asking a girl out.</p>
<p>For the first few seconds of asking, you are hopeful, dreamy, yes, I love the world!</p>
<p>The next few seconds, especially when things seem to go wrong (ie another guy also asking a girl holding flowers and rings and World Swimming Champion trophies and plaques and a certificate saying he is a direct descendant of Einstein and me, emptyhanded), you just hate the world.</p>
<p>The next few seconds of TOTAL SILENCE. Oh yes, she is thinking, evaluating, doing her best to judge the best one out of her suitors, but what about us! We're dying for answers! </p>
<p>The girl was my single choice and all this time I couldn't ask ANYONE!</p>
<p>And the result: either yes or no.</p>
<p>You get all the sweetness and triumph of the world if Yale, I mean the girl says yes.
If she says no, you can always start filling out long, long love letters eerily resembling college applications, seek out less attractice girls. </p>
<p>Mind you that less attractive girls can be fun too. And also you may get bored with the beauty called Yale after a while. But momentarily, I'm in crazy love with Y. Plz don't break my heart on the 15th.</p>
<p>applying to yale is like getting a sex change.</p>
<p>these are the stages!</p>
<p>It feels good cuz u will get something u love -> then you are scared of the consequences -> it hurts like hell if the operation fails+u waste time and money</p>
<p>Applying to Yale is like smashing your fist through a wall. It sounds like a cool thing to do, and the adrenaline of the moment makes it seem virtually painless... but you have a 92% chance of seriously injuring yourself.</p>
<p>@ lookbeyond:</p>
<p>Incidentally, if you smash your fist through a wall (I went right through the plaster/drywall), the person at whom you were aiming the punch may just give up.</p>
<p>I felt like such as badass that day.</p>

<p>Applying to Yale is like taking a really long pee. You're exciting about it coming out until you realize you messed up your bladder.</p>
<p>@davidbonkoo haha that's genius, it fits really well! :D</p>
<p>To me, applying to Yale is like trying a new recipe...first you find the recipe, and it looks amazing, so you're all excited. You put a lot of work (or little, depends) into it, mixing all the ingredients, etc. You wait for it to steam/poach/broil/bake....and the end result is either terrible, meh, or great. :)</p>
<p>LOL davidbonkoo :D</p>
<p>haha davidbonkoo- that was awesome. they should accept you just for that ;)</p>
<p>Davidbonkoo, if the girl is your "single choice", are you hoping to get some "early action"? ;)</p>
<p>^LOL OneKing! Nice! It didn't even hit me until I read it twice! ahahahahaha</p>
<p>applying to yale is like being a smart girl in love with a jackass
you realize it's stupid
you realize it will end badly
but you do it anyway
because you're in love</p>
<p>lmao "seek out less attractive girls"</p>
<p>Applying to Yale is like... applying to Yale? </p>
<p>I'm glad they got rid of these analogy questions on the SAT, I'm apparently not very good at them :P</p>
<p>Ack, double post! :[</p>
<p>Applying to Yale is like finding out you are having your tonsils removed.</p>
<p>The idea of eating ice cream and being waited on sounds awesome, but then the operation actually happens and the pain sets in...</p>
<p>Applying to Yale is like eating a mystery-flavored jelly bean. You don't know what you'll get. =]</p>
