^9-12, I believe. Just out of curiosity, why wouldn’t the nineth grade GPA be weighted?

xatuuatx · December 10, 2009, 12:40am

Who is going to keep track of and compile all of this data once decisions are released?

7ehpenguin · December 10, 2009, 12:56am

@ collegestress
I don’t think you can get automatically denied for a test score, keep up hope! =D

Collegestress16 · December 10, 2009, 1:02am

^ Awwww! Thanks for the encouragement! I am mainly stressed because of that SAT II, if only Yale accepted Score- Choice!!

totallysunshine · December 10, 2009, 1:39am

collegestress i hear you. i hav a 610 in Chinese w Listening which makes 96% of testers better than me…
I just hope Yale will notice that I have no Chinese family background :D

feathers.o_four · December 10, 2009, 3:37am

That’s actually pretty cool totallysunshine! Chinese is soooo hard to learn as a second language. Did you take it at school?

superorange · December 10, 2009, 10:31am

Essay topics:

Stupefy · December 10, 2009, 10:35am

^your essay topic sounds fascinating. Will stand out for sure!

superorange · December 10, 2009, 10:43am

Thanks! I’m really regretting the drinking essay in light of the Halloween party though. I was thinking about writing about being a Nazi in our school play (twice!), but I can’t write about theatre for some reason. They’re two separate art forms. XD Plus, most of my interview in the summer was talking about theatre, and I don’t wanna be a one-trick pony!

LittleToNothing · December 11, 2009, 12:17am

Someone should make a thread on essay topics. I am interested in finding out what other people wrote about, if they are comfortable with others knowing of course.
I’d make it myself but I am kinda new to this site and suspect that if someone more into the network did it there would be more responses.

essay: for common app I described the women in my family preparing Christmas dinner and connected it to the fact that they were the ones who truly raised me and taught me that I was a part of something inclusive and meaningful, and for the Yale supplement I wrote an essay inspired by the poem “Where I’m From” by George Ella Lyons.

I’m not sure if it’s too late to join this thread, but I think the anxiety that we all feel is relatively constant enough throughout this whole process that it’s still appropriate to participate. I can’t begin to imagine Tuesday. I checked the Yale admit website yesterday and nearly had an aneurysm because there was a new link about “Important Information for Class of 2014 Applicants.” I’m not sure if I’m ready for the decision, even after months of preparation. I’m not sure about anyone else, but I really don’t like to think about it. Whenever my friends or family even try to talk about acceptance I won’t allow it. It’s not a superstition thing so much as a method of self-defense. I have to be realistic, otherwise I become too enchanted by what-ifs . But anyways, I’m glad that we all at least have each other while we meander through this crazy time! Thank goodness for College Confidential :-)
