<p>Correction- I’d put it only if my best friend got in/ deferred. Because I would feel pretty bad if she got in and I got rejected.</p>
<p>One of my best friends is applying to MIT EA. Hopefully we both get in come mid-December!</p>
<p>Oh, come on, guys. I know we’re all FBing it up if we get in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I really think you’re misusing that phrase. You shouldn’t care what others think about you when, say, you’re trying to express yourself with clothing. </p>
<p>In this context, however, it’s pretty insensitive to not “care what others think,” flaunting your acceptance while others could very well be heartbroken.</p>
<p>I only know one other person who’s applying SCEA, and she doesn’t even want to go to Yale that much, so I wouldn’t have the risk of making a heartbroken person feel worse. FB would also be the easiest mode of communication since I’ll be out of school next week, and a lot of people would want to know. I guess if there are a bunch of others applying and many get rejected, excessively flaunting an acceptance on FB would be insensitive. But making a simple status update about it is one’s right. If someone starts crying when they see someone else post “I got into Yale 
,” that’s kind of their problem for being so overly sensitive.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sure, it’s not your problem. Many things in the world are not your problem. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t show some compassion (towards others rejected from anywhere, not just from Yale).</p>
<p>As for what the easiest mode of communication is, I don’t think it takes Facebook for the rest of the grade to find out. If I told one friend, everyone else would know by the next morning.</p>
<p>Yeah, I do agree. I mean it’s very nice to be considerate. I don’t feel too good about this in general, but if I do get in I’d just share it with those that care to ask. I mean it depends on the person, some people would come off pretentious while others just happy, all depends on your personality.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t bother with tiptoeing around someone’s oversensitive feelings. If I was rejected from a school and someone else was accepted, I wouldn’t expect them to restrict their showing of happiness. It’s an amazing accomplishment, and they have every reason to be proud of themselves.</p>
<p>And FB would be easiest for me because my friends/acquaintances are split between multiple schools.</p>
<p>But this is kind of pointless anyway. Who knows if I’ll even have a status update to make.</p>
<p>there is one other scea applicant from my school. how should i react if this person is accepted and i am rejected/deferred?</p>
<p>^Your third comment exactly. But whoever gets in, feel free to post on CC, as we will all be ecstatic for each and every one of the accepted :)!</p>
<p>I’m nervous!
I know of NOBODY else in my area applying to Yale.</p>
<p>But at least I know there are fellow Texans on here, haha.
I hope Texas gets some spots in there! lol</p>
<p>^^ahah see CC is a different story. This is what CC was created for. </p>
<p>If many non-CC students saw what we write on here, they’d smack us across the face.</p>
<p>Hahahaha I can imagine some of my friends if they realized who I was on here…funny thing is I’ve figured out at least one of them are :P.</p>
<p>Texas represent!!! Same haha, hopefully we all do. It’d be really awesome to finally meet some of you guys!</p>
<p>Six of my friends are doing SCEA.</p>
<p>^
How strong are you as an applicant compared to them?</p>
<p>yay Texas yeah I’m the only person applying to Yale at my school. There are 3 or 4 applying to Stanford and 2 to Princeton though…</p>
<p>We’re all unique/strong in different ways.</p>
<p>^^
Hey, a fellow Houstonian!
'Ello!</p>
<p>Haha. That’s cool! I have one friend applying to MIT, another to Stanford, and that’s about it.</p>
<p>hello! at least Houston is getting some representation. North side! ;)</p>
<p>Yeah it’s so so so awkward when you find out you know someone on CC… Like you discover them. Eh. I like to keep the fact that I even know about the existence of this site a secret. Lol.</p>
<p>
Me. Too. And the person is my friend. Or, alternately, if I’m accepted and she’s not. Or if one is deferred and one rejected…
Ach! I wonder how we’ll tell each other–at the same time? Through fb? Text? Phone. :(</p>
<p>That’s the only person I know of from my school who applied SCEA, although there may be more who are keeping it a secret. I doubt it though. A lot applied to Columbia ED, so their results will come on Thursday!!! That’s SO soon. OMG I really can’t take it anymore…</p>
