The Official Yale Class of 2012 (Hopeful) Thread

<p>anybody else just dying a little on the inside everytime they come to this sight, but just cant look away? its a problem. maybe not. but probably.</p>

<p>7 days and i'm dying (and yes i'm not counting next friday).</p>

<p>I fell down the stairs too. I hit the floor with my knees.</p>

<p>Hahaha I think this college deal is making our inner ears malfunction.</p>

<p>That, or we were always spastic. Guilty.</p>

<p>I fell up the stairs too. =/</p>

<p>i haven't been falling. but i haven't been functioning quite so well.</p>

<p>ie ive been trying to do the same geometry question for the past hour.</p>

<p>The same here. Can't finish this bio homework, Calculus, or English.</p>

<p>oh homework. i forgot that existed.</p>

<p>I JUST FINISHED THAT GEO QUESTION I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR AN HOUR! WHOO!</p>

<p>like at this point i dont even care what the result is. i just want to move on with my life.</p>

<p>well i'm sure i won't be accepted, at best deferred. everyone thinks i'm being modest but i'm reallllyy just being realistic... </p>

<p>i'm just trying (and failing) to not fall in love with yale and the waiting does nothing to help this.</p>

<p>haha i was just looking at acceptance rates. its usually like, 15% acceptance, 15% rejection, 70% deferral. hah! i would actually die if i was deferred. i wouldn't be able to handle three more months of torturous waiting. i'd rather be rejected. so. 70% chance i will have to kill myself. nice.</p>

<p>you know whats really awful (in addition to those statistics)?? i now have an interview december 15 for one of my regular decision schools. basically im going to show up emotionally fragile and heartbroken, or else (15% chance) i will show up and say "oh never mind, im going to YALE"</p>

<p>Do you know what would be cool though?</p>

<p>If we got accepted.</p>

<p>Somehow...I've put off homework a lot more than usual. I want to start it but get distracted easily. Sure I was easily distracted before...but now...it's like I can't make myself work until the last minute.</p>

<p>hahah i know its terrible! imagine waiting 5 months for RD. there goes the GPA...</p>

<p>Hrm, let's use those percentages real quick. 4,820 applicants in early action this year.</p>

<p>4820(0.15) = 723 accepted
4820(0.7) = 3,374 deferred
4820(0.15) = 723 rejected</p>

<p>That seems like a lot that are accepted.</p>

<p>last year there were 20% that were accepted. 20% rejected. and 60% deferred.</p>

<p>but because this year there's such an insane number of people applying, the acceptance rate will go down to about 15% IF they take the same number as last year. which they probably will...</p>

<p>15% is higher than regular-- but i think it's safe to say the pool of applicants is, say, far more "keen". (ie the competition is much more tough). hah. now that the week mark is approaching...</p>

<p>185 hours and 32 minutes!!! lol.</p>

<p>i have an interview next wednesday. i don't know what i'm gunna do, i'm just gunna be way too nervous to think. so, hopefully georgetown prefers stammering idiots!</p>

<p>score!</p>

<p>Wowee.... this is not chill.</p>

<p>I have fallen wayyyy too in love with Yale. It's quite sad, really. I just.... I just want to be loved back!!!!</p>

<p>"wanted to be loved back!!!"
Oh fringey you sound so loveable I hope that you get in and we get to be friends!</p>
