Yale 2015 Hopefuls

<p>Who's out there, and who's thinking of applying?</p>

<p>woooahhhhhhh</p>

<p>Wow this thread started really early!! I wonder if it will beat the 2014 thread?</p>

<p><em>raises hand</em></p>

<p>Oooh me me me.</p>

<p>Definitely me.</p>

<p>me 2. (get it? If you speak gujurati, you would have gotten it)</p>

<p>yessir</p>

<p>10char</p>

<p>Definitely me. Not sure if I should do EA though.</p>

<p>Definitely interested, not sure if I’m applying SCEA though</p>

<p>guys this is wayyy too early. chill out. do this at least after the regular decisions come out.</p>

<p>you guys have a looong 1.5 years of high school ahead if you’re already this anxious about yale. trust me.</p>

<p>just relax for a bit and start panicking when summer starts. you’ll save yourself a lot of worry, dread, stress, and disappointment.</p>

<p>I’ll apply RD.</p>

<p>me</p>

<p>i wanna apply scea so there’s less than a year before i submit my app. for the people who think we’re worrying too early, i sometimes mentally beat myself up because i’m afraid that 1 year isn’t enough to properly prepare my materials</p>

<p>Hai.
SCEA all the way.</p>

<p>I’m definitely applying SCEA. Unfortunately, Calculus has decimated my GPA, which is not looking so pretty right now. It’s the first B I’ve ever gotten, and I’m afraid that Yale is not going to like that. I mean, I got a pretty good SAT score, though.</p>

<p>I’m probably applying RD.</p>

<p>LOL 2015 already! Trust me, you do not want to start this so early… You will go crazy.</p>

<p>Oh, where shall I start? “368 more days…”</p>

<p>Oh and shoutout to fresh101 and silverturtle. Good luck guys and keep up those scores. You guys helped me get past SATI writing! :p</p>

<p>good luck to all of you, but just so you know, I didn’t take the SAT till May of my Junior year, and started properly worrying about colleges only as a senior.
So I’d suggest you enjoy the last few years of High School before making it as miserable as it’s for us now - and trust me, I used to think Junior year was the worst thing in the world since the weather man predicting snow in Antarctica (duh) - I was wrong. I really believe that all this college stress is unbelievably unnecessary. I will you all the best, esp. silverturtle with their brilliant mathematical tabulations and analysis I’ve seen over the years, but seriously. I tell this to juniors all the time - take a break. Worry about these things when the time comes. Next year, three days before your decision, I’ll be supporting you all the way - I promise. But for now, go out for dinner, study for finals (eek!) and enjoy the weekend (with finals? yeah, right).
And @nolagirl: I had a freshman talk to me once about a non-A on his transcript (B+? B? I forget) - can you imagine? A freshman? I didn’t even dream about college back then! Don’t worry, present yourself in the best possible light, and you’ll be absolutely fine.</p>

<p>Basically, 2015 hopefuls, don’t do this to yourself. Focus on school and your life; you’ll be surprised when you hear back from Yale next year and (hopefully) get in anyways.</p>

<p>Wish you all the best,
