<p>Evaluating applicants? Reading interview reports and looking over decisions? Comparing financial aid packages for admitted students? Preparing admissions packets?</p>
<p>My guess is a mixture of all of those.</p>
<p>I assume they’ve completed evaluating each applicant and are filling out/filing paper work. :(</p>
<p>^Not every applicant. The deadline for interviews was around Dec 1st (and some internationals got late interview requests). They couldn’t have reached a decision on every single applicant.</p>
<p>Building a big enough bonfire to burn the rejected applications and our hopes and dreams. :D</p>
<p>^ lol that’s so depressing</p>
<p>I’d gander they will be done with decisions around the 10th or so, at the latest. Not including the financial stuff and paperwork and all that. They probably have a goal a bit before Dec. 15th, in case of any mishaps, unless they run out of time.</p>
<p>I heard about some other college just deferring anyone they didn’t get to? But not Yale haha</p>
<p>Giggling wildly as they light random applications on fire or throw them in a shark tank.</p>
<p>Putting apps in a box like a cat, attached to a radioactive isotope with a 50% chance of decay attached to a Geiger Counter that activates a high powered laser aimed at applications if it detects radiation, and waiting for the point where we know not whether the application is accepted or rejected.</p>
<p>If you get the physics joke, please raise your hand.</p>
<p><em>raises hand halfway, then puts it down shyly</em></p>
<p>I get the gist of it, though I think the admissions process in reality is much more complex.</p>
<p>I actually tried to use that cat in my application, I hope to goodness they understood it!! Otherwise they won’t catch the pun heheh</p>
<p>@wrightm: I think they got a better version. Instead of putting a laser, they connect the Geiger counter to a bulldog’s brain, so that he eats the application if the radioactive material decays :p</p>
<p>Schroedinger’s App?</p>
<p>I like your idea Charleh!</p>
<p>I am lost. I’m always lost in Physics. I took AP Physics B and got an A in the class. My friends are always asking me for help on their hw. They’re in regular or honors physics. I have no idea.</p>
<p>:X</p>
<p>I think they’ll be switching from ED to RD this upcoming week, and are probably sorting out the rejects and deferrals. If you’re meant to get in SCEA the decision has probaby already been made.</p>
<p>I’d call that by next weekend for sure, but then again that is just a few days before decision time haha</p>
<p>quomodo, it has to do with quantum physics and the duality of fundamental particles:

<p>I’m 90% sure Physics B is virtually all Newtonian physics, so you won’t get to that darn Cat</p>
<p>I like this explanation: [YouTube</a> - Schrodingers Cat](<a href=“Schrodingers Cat - YouTube”>Schrodingers Cat - YouTube) :D</p>
<p>The admission officers are probably as anxious as we are about results day!</p>
