<p>^ its in my phone as “Judgment Day”</p>
<p>@Stupefy - I have the same thing at my school. People often come up to me and ask if I have gotten into Yale yet. Then I have to explain that I don’t hear until Dec 15th and that I may not get in…</p>
<p>With 14/115 kids applying EA to Yale, it’s hard not to be open about it! :)</p>
<p>I personally believe the this thread ended up defeating itself in terms of purpose. There’s obviously bias–stronger people stats-wise are more inclined to post–because every time a sub 2300 post comes up it’s prefaced by “Oh, I’m so much worse than you but I’ll post anyways…”</p>
<p>@Dan: I’m in your boat.</p>
<p>I used to think there was no way I’d get admitted…until I told everybody and they started telling me how I have nothing to worry about. </p>
<p>Now that I’m getting overconfident I’ll be all the more crushed come decision day…</p>
<p>By the way, I’m fairly sure Yale will take 1-2 people max from Quebec.</p>

<p>dont wanna give away too much but:
Act:34 (never could finish that stupid science section. made me so mad haha)
Sat II: 790, 770, 730
rank:1/about 500
ECs: tennis-basically dominates my life and AcaDeca-first place in state (only academic EC I could fit into schedule cause of tennis)
Hooks: Probably none, unless being a decently accomplished athlete counts- all four years all-district. team consistently top 4-8 in very very large state, oh and geography (probably doesnt count that much either)
APs: 6 5s and a 4</p>
<p>well ummm weird thing with me is that, for the first 20 minutes i feel certain that i can get in and then all of a sudden i’m thinking there’s no way i’d get in… and it just keeps on going
so yeah i’m literally freaking myself out every couple of mins hehe
if it weren’t the fact that i’m doing other apps and they r occupying some of my time, i’d explode already</p>

<p>Stats:
GPA UW: 3.83
W: 4.02 (my school offers VERY few APs)
SAT I: N/A
SAT IIs: N/A
ACT: 33
APs: US History - 5</p>
<p>Rank: my class has 65 people so my school (thankfully) doesn’t rank</p>
<p>ECs: my strongest area. i’m a varsity athlete for my school’s crew team, editor-in-chief of yearbook (editor junior year), i’m a teacher during the school year for my local Breakthrough Collaborative, i perform in the regular and advanced auditioned choirs, i perform in the school musicals/plays, i write movie reviews for the school paper, i’ve been elected to class council two years running, and i’m a director of communications for my school’s literary magazine.</p>
<p>Hobbies: MOVIES! this isn’t as academic as most people’s, but i love movies and television to death and plan on studying film in college. after winning an acting award in my freshman year, i went out to los angeles to actually try and make it as a child actor. i had a few commercials but it really didn’t pan out, but what i’ve realized in hindsight is that i really want to be involved in the directing aspect moving forward. this is all basically my activities essay. </p>
<p>Hooks: i’m a kid from new hampshire (that’s the only thing I’ve got going for me) who really has a passion for film while still being devoted to my academics? </p>
<p>i’ve been hovering on these threads for a while, but lately i’ve been feeling discouraged about the outcome so i thought i’d finally join this - it seems like a really great support/socializing network.</p>
<p>
same. I finished all my other apps, but I’m waiting to submit the majority of them until AFTER dec 15 (to possibly save some money). I did get accepted into pennstate already and applied to my only non-common app schools: columbia and georgetown. darn those non-common app schools 
so much work</p>
<p>@cdld2008 – me too…I’m bipolar whenever I start thinking about my possible outcomes. I’m in an “I’m getting rejected flat-out” phase at the moment, but I’m sure I’m gonna go back to the “can’t wait for handsome dan on the 15th!” phase. lol. I feel like the possibilities of me getting rejected, deferred, or accepted are equal [okay maybe less of a chance for accepted…] but it’s still driving me crazy.</p>
<p>and @Stupefy, I hate how gtown and columbia don’t use the common app too. especially columbia, because they won’t let you see the essay questions until you pay and I’m not even sure if I’m going to apply there :/</p>
<p>I feel like an arrogant idiot because I honestly believe that I’ll get in. I figured everyone, at the bottom of their hearts, no matter how much they tried to downplay their chances, would really believe that they would beat the odds and make it. I guess I was wrong about that.</p>
<p>I mean, I can tell myself it’s unlikely and prepare for disappointment, but at the end of the day, I see myself being accepted. Is anyone else secretly (or, I guess as of now, not so secretly) like that?</p>
<p>
I KNOW! do you want me to send you the essay questions? because I sent in my app like two months ago lol
basically the personal essay you can write whatever you want. then there’s a bunch of short answer questions, but most of them are fun: like list your favorite books, etc. then theres a question that says, what in particular interests you about columbia. and if you are applying to the fu school of engineering, theres an additional question, but I didn’t pay attention to it since I’m not applying there</p>
<p>I feel the same way, christiansoldier. </p>
<p>I see myself making a facebook status at 5:01 saying that I got in. I see myself going into school on the 16th proudly garbing my new Yale sweatshirt and telling everyone who cares what happened. </p>
<p>The sad thing is that this will probably not happen.</p>
<p>Well, I’m hesitantly optimistic. Lets put it this way: I wouldn’t be surprised either way. I think I have a very good shot, what with my legacy, but then again, its a crapshoot, and you never know, right? 2400 valedictorians get turned down.</p>
<p>:-(
That’s me you’re talking about.</p>
<p>Hey, you’ll get in. That’s my prediction. I’m just saying that no one’s a shoe-in basically. I like my chances, but we’ll see. In 9 days X)</p>
<p>lol this is completely off topic
but at my school only 4/530 applied EA to Yale
contrast with Stanford EA: 130/530 :/</p>
<p>i was floundering between Yale and Stanford EA in the beginning, but i didn’t even apply to stanford in the end</p>
<p>just because Yale is cooler (weatherwise lol) and frankly i’m sick of the bay area</p>
<p>I’m the first person from my school to apply to yale in like 9 years.</p>
<p>I expect to be deferred. I wouldn’t be THAT surprised if I got in. but I would be surprised if I got rejected (thats like bottom 20% right?)</p>
