<p>haha I totally agree with tristan!</p>
<p>It’s been horrible–I had a dream last week that I got so fed up with being stressed about my application that I yelled at two of my teachers, got sent to the principal’s office, and then received a letter of rejection from Yale. Needless to say, I was extremely relieved when I woke up and realized it didn’t happen.</p>
<p>I wish people would quit asking where I’ve applied, because that’s only more people I have to tell when I get rejected or deferred :/</p>
<p>@co2010
I know how you feel. Whenever people ask me where I’m applying, I generally only list my safety schools. I’d rather be able to go back later and tell them I got into Yale than have them ask if I got in and have to sheepishly tell them no…'cause that would suck…
I’d rather have my rejection be my own little personal tragedy. I don’t need the whole world knowing it. :P</p>
<p>i’m not afraid of telling people that i’m applying to Yale because i fear rejection, if anything I dno’t tell people I applied to Yale because I don’t want to look arrogant</p>
<p>there are many people that are accepted at Yale, but there are also amazing people that get rejected, it really shouldn’t be looked at as a failure or “tragedy” imo</p>
<p>Am I the only one who openly tells people where I’ve applied?</p>
<p>Haha…I told a lot of people I applied to Yale. But, this week I came to fear having to tell everyone I got rejected. So, I made up some lie about how Yale called my house and since they couldn’t give me an interview, I would get my decision RD. Now only my two best friends know I’ll learn my fate on teh 15th…but so will everyone else should I get accepted = D.</p>
<p>haha nice strategy =)</p>
<p>@ christian- nope I’m pretty much the most outspoken person you’ll ever meet. it’s kind of sad really. the whole world knows all of my views…and my college list. like everyday at school, there will be someone like pigs<em>at</em>sea who goes: 10 more days till you find out about yale!! ahhh stress</p>
<p>yeah same here… whenever I see someone, whether it be at school or anywhere really, they say, “so have you heard from Yale yet?”
I honestly feel like I have nothing to hide, and if I don’t get in, I don’t get in. Of course I will be upset, but its not the end of the world - life goes on.</p>
<p>Haha…ya, I am the same way you are Stupefy. However, wont you felt just a wee bit bad if you have to admit to your classmates that Yale rejected/deferred you. I dont really care how smart you are, when you tell people you are applying to Yale most of the will b thinking to themselves “he just wasted 60 bucks applying to a school he will nvr get into.” It would suck to just confirm these thoughts.</p>
<p>Well considering the low admit rate I probably won’t get in anyway, but I figured it was worth a shot. And I tend not to care what others think - all that matters is that I tried. I guess it might be annoying to tell all of these people “oh yeah, I didn’t get in,” but it is what it is. I am still uber nervous though, but keeping my expectations low to avoid the inevitable disappointment.</p>
<p>Christian, I am an open book and everyone at school knows where i have applied. it’s Ok, I always qualify with I have to go for it. why not?</p>
<p>lol its the opposite at my school. most of my friends have no idea how competitive admissions are and think “she’s number one in the class so she HAS to get in”
sigh</p>
<p>hehe and who knows u just might get in, yale has to take someone at ur school right? might as well be u
right now i’m so ready for that big red… and well ofc doing apps for other schools takes my mind off yale.otherwise i’d explode thinking “oh i’ll get in, oh no i wont…”</p>
<p>haha, I guess I’m lucky compared to some of you because no one ever expects me to get into Yale (In fact, most people are either amused or bemused by the fact that I even applied), so there is very little pressure for me from the outside. If I get rejected, it’ll just be a laugh for me and my friends at school, a day or so of depression for me alone at home, and a sudden urgent motivation for me to finally finish all of my other applications.</p>
<p>Oh cdld2008, Yale never takes anyone from my school. Being number one doesn’t matter unless Yale consistently admits number ones from your high school in the past. Stupefy, I’m sorry about the pressure, but I’m postively sure you’ll be fine.:)</p>
<p>whoa seriously???
well yale has never taken anyone from my city or even my province. hehe i’m applying as an international student
but hey u never know what’ll happen til it happens so who knows u might get in
it might come as a surprise hehe</p>
<p>@Khachaturian - I’m exactly the same way. only two people know I’ve applied to yale… everyone else thinks whenever I talk about almost missing the nov.1st deadline that I’m talking about one of my state public schools and not about yale. ha.
If I get rejected…only those 2 ppl will know. If I get accepted…many more will :]</p>
<p>I was looking back at the common app I submitted and I realized how many mistakes there are on it…I even had to make another version for other schools 
I’m actually seriously wishing that I’d applied RD so my app could’ve been more polished…ohh well, we’re almost in the single digits now anyways :p</p>
<p>haha we’re already in the single digits </p>
<p>9 days O_O</p>
<p>I decided to finish my other apps before D-day (yes, I called it D-day 
), because if and when I get rejected, I will have something else to look forward to, and one less thing to stress about.</p>
