<p>Welcome, Nomad! That USC app sounds like a killer. And our prospective majors are similar; I'm interested in English/writing, but I don't know if I want to go into journalism or creative writing or something else.</p>
<p>Um, I'm out of things to say about USC/UCLA. Let's talk about something else. Like snow! It snowed in NY today, which was awesome. I'm psyched to go skiing, to go sledding, to have a snow day...</p>
<p>I am soooo jealous of your snow... wow I can't WAIT to go somewhere snowy!!!!!</p>
<p>Um, so I've been composing a haiku about Yale for the past 30 seconds instead of doing my Physics homework.</p>
<p>Yale, you're like the post.
My mailbox is meant for your
thick letters of joy.</p>
<p>it's snowing here too, second one of the year :)
only 1 to 3 inches sadly</p>
<p>lovely haiku, vfrizz</p>
<p>It never snows here in San Francisco. I said that I look forward to the weather in my interview and my alumni's jaw practically dropped. "You know, I've done interviews for many, many students over many years and NONE of them have said that they like the weather. They usually say they like everything BUT the weather."</p>
<p>I just chucked and said something to the effect of, "One in ten, right?" (His question from before told me that Yale admits at a rate of about 9% which is close enough to 1 in 10. What attributes do I have that differ me from the rest of the pack.)</p>
<p>hahah yeah im one of the few from new england who actually LIKE the snow... im sure i wont be so fond of it once i have to be hiking around campus after a noreaster though</p>
<p>I've only been to the snow in order to ski... I can't wait for snow!!!</p>
<p>When I first saw the USC application, I was like, "...so this is how they do it. They weed out the weak with a huge application."</p>
<p>these nxt 2 weeks will be unbearable...</p>
<p>Maybe if we all wrote Yale poetry, it would improve our chances? XD</p>
<p>it's just crazy enough to work</p>
<p>Just in case, let's go a dance in the rain.</p>
<p>But that's only if you like pina coladas ;)</p>
<p>But I doooooo.</p>
<p>okay then :D</p>
<p>Poetry, rain dancin'.... Jeez, I'd do anything!
And yes, the wait will be torture.
Meanwhile, here I am, jazz band concert on Friday, finals' week approaching, and completing applications to abuncha other silly colleges. I hate to sound neurotic, but it's NOT doing much for my stress levels. -.-</p>
<p>I didn't ever apply early. DX So I wait for a looong time.</p>
<p>My response to the Dec. 14th/15th/whenever controversy:</p>
<p>Y u be hatin'
on me, Yale? Teasing with an
indefinite date.</p>
<p>And:</p>
<p>Yale, if you accept
me, I'll stop writing awfully
pathetic haikus.</p>
<p>Heh, I'm an early applicant who's been around the board but realized I never actually posted on this thread. So hello! :)</p>
<p>I would write a poem to introduce myself, but, err, I think my abysmal poetry writing would scare everyone off the thread.</p>
<p>Hi affle! :) Welcome welcome!</p>
<p>VFrizz--you are a mad haiku machine. </p>
<p>Lets see (I've been here long enough to make a fool of myself...with dignity):</p>
<p>I am flat broke, but
Rich in love for you, so will
You marry me, Yale?</p>
