<p>I have my three worst finals (AP calc, AP chem, and honors anatomy) that day. Then I get to go home and find out about Yale.</p>
<p>What a day, haha.</p>
<p>Keona i'm jealous, I have another week before vacation... But my friends have planned a pity party as well!</p>
<p>its a funny feeling
i know that im not going to get in
but at the same time im like "i think i will"</p>
<p>My friends and I are going to my school's annual Christmas community service trip to our sister school in a poorer section of town. Some of them applied Early to Georgetown and find out the same day, I think another one's waiting for Stanford that day, and a couple UPenn early applicants as well...and then there's me, waiting for Yale.</p>
<p>I'm not really THAT excited. I think I've tempered myself enough that I can just come home whenever I want that day and casually check.</p>
<p>...yeah right.</p>
<p>haha potus what about a HAPPY party? You definitely need to plan for one of those, too :)</p>
<p>... My LIFE would become one big happy party if I got in. No need to plan, I would bring the party wherever I chose to go that night!!!</p>
<p>haha, point taken</p>
<p>Would it not be excellent if all the people who were accepted to Yale EA were put in a huge room together right afterwards? I think it would basically be amazing...some pretty crazy stuff would probably happen lol</p>
<p>.. I feel there would be some euphoric-related injury as in I'll be running in circles so fast I'll mow down anyone in my path... multiply that by 700 and we've got a problem!</p>
<p>(Yes that would be excellent... It would be the highest concentration of happiness I would ever experience... except for the Yale campus of course!)</p>
<p>That much happiness might result in tragedy from stampeding or something!</p>
<p>Has anyone else been really negative the past week? I think I need to leave CC until the 15th and return to post my acceptance/deferral/rejection and stats.</p>
<p>Farewell, until then!</p>
<p>I should do the same, but I can't quite bring myself to.</p>
<p>yea, i've found myself really overwhelmed with just about everything... in addition to the impending doom of december 15th. All of a sudden little things about my app start popping up in my head, and i start doubting my credentials and my supplements and... aaaahhh. its frustrating, but we'll see only 8 more days!</p>
<p>bah i started doubting my application the second after i handed it in,.</p>
<p>My turn:</p>
<p>I go to a large public high school in suburban Orlando (yes I have passes to Disney lol). I was captain of the swim team this year (season's already over) and I spend most of my time swimming with my club. I'm not fast enough to get recruited for Yale, but I'm hoping to walk on. I am president of the National Honors Society and captain of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I was in SGA as a representative and co-chair of the parade committee, but I wasn't able to attend enough meetings so I was kicked out lol. I have all A's, but only average test scores, so I'm expecting to get deferred this round. I'm also applying to Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton, Duke, JHU, Florida, and Rollins (last two are safeties). Seeing that school is expensive, I see myself attending UF for free (Bright Futures), which isn't so bad because a lot of my friends go there. I do really want to go out of state, but my parents JUST started making too much for me to qualify for anything, so I'm screwed lol. Good luck to everyone next Friday!</p>

Ah, I know exactly what you mean! I keep thinking about mistakes I might have made on the Common App. and whether my essay was up to par and everything else. </p>
<p>I can't believe we'll find out a week from now. It's going to be a long, agonzing, and painful 7 days.</p>
<p>Oh my god, I can't even IMAGINE having to wait this long... I swear it seemed like less time back at 20 days than it does now... The home stretch is such a home MARATHON... GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>(end rant)</p>
<p>I'm really glad I found this website. I was actually aimlessly wandering around the internet, visiting the yale.edu/admit page for the 1OOth time this week, when I thought it would be pretty cool to talk to other prospective and anxious students like myself. So I googled yale 2011 forum or something like that, without much hope but it paid off!
By the way, as you might have guessed from my very original username, I'm Evelyne. And I'm French. Well, actually I have triple canadian-french-american citizenships but I've been living in Paris for almost my entire life so let's just say I'm French. I want to go to the US next year to study in an American college and Yale is my first choice. Once again, very original! It's great to have found a website were I can talk with other people who must be feeling pretty excited right now. I can't believe we're only 7 days away from the BIG news. I can't believe it because the beginning of my senior year has gone by so fast and next thing I know it's finally going to be the 15th, I'll KNOW about Yale but at the same time one week seems so long at this point. I sorry if I'm confusing I'm pretty much having all these existential thoughts these days about everything. What do I want to do with my life, where do I want to be, ect, ect... And my mind is very confused and confusing. Last night, I saw the movie Hotel Rwanda (If you haven't seen it, it's a must) and I couldn't go to sleep afterwards because I was thinking about so much stuff. Including my existential crises even though they had no apparent link to that movie.
Anyway, I could probably go on for a while, writing has become a sort of therapeutic means of expression to me these past weeks (I actually found out how much I like it while writing my essays) and it's the only thing that helps me feel a little less confused. But, I'll stop here and hope to hear and learn from you guys; it'll be like a group anxiety session!

<p>bienvenue evelyne :)</p>
<p>'excited' is perhaps too gentle a word to convey the near-crippling anxiety gripping some people these days... try as we might not to show it</p>
<p>Thanks for your welcome!
I definitely agree on that one, let's just say that I didn't really know how to qualify this intense state of made we're all experiencing right now and I settled on this very fade word instead of the complicated attempt to portray our common state of mind (which, by the way, would have probably made me seem a bit neurotic). I'll make a better choice of words next time, I promise!</p>
<p>evelyne, if yale decisions are released at 5 pm EST, what time is that for you? around midnight? that'll be a looong night. lol.</p>
<p>arg i wish it wasn't 5 o'clock. i had a test that day, and i'm going to be fidgety all during school.</p>
