Yale 2016 SCEA Discussion Thread

<p>Jsherm101 because these people are a species of their own, collegeboard gives them a different test, called the SAT (Super Advanced Test) which is out of 900 becuase its longer and harder than normal people SATs. No joke.</p>

<p>Results come out in a week…am I the only one freaking out?</p>

<p>I’ve been feeling a bit more calm today too, but I think it’s really just temporary. This whole wait has had me going in waves of freak out haha</p>

<p>I was pretty nonchalant about it at first, and then the whole Cornell/Columbia ED results madness hit my school.
Does anyone know how it works? Do they email you or do you sign onto the Eli account? So confused.</p>

<p>I was just starting to become calm…</p>

<p>then all the Columbia/Cornell decisions came out and I have friends being deferred, denied and accepted to incredible schools.</p>

<p>Finally it seems real; this is going to get intense over the next week O.o </p>

<p>Good luck everyone :)</p>

<p>Damn, wish I qualified!</p>

<p>Gah, I mostly feel calm and then I have these fleeting moments of tension… But as has been my mantra over the past weeks, what’s done is done! I certainly can’t change anything now.</p>

<p>Still crossing my fingers, though. :D</p>

<p>Does anyone else play the possible scene of finding out they’re accepted over and over in their heads?</p>

<p>^ crossing my fingers too. My grandma is very superstitious and is trying to find “signs” for me, like her pennies and white pt cruisers :)</p>

<p>Despite how much I’m trying to ready myself for a denial, I really, really, REALLY hope I get that deferral. Just to prove that all these years of high school were worth it.</p>

<p>I guess checking my eli account every day in class gives away my anticipation…</p>

<p>okay, maybe i’d be annoyed if i were in that situation too, but if i had a 13% chance increase over everybody else, i’d be jumping for joy and running around the room. i wish i was a legacy! don’t take it for granted because we’re all jealous!(:</p>

<p>Well you know how I was saying I was chill and all… I found out someone I know got into Columbia and now I’m not so chill anymore >.></p>

<p>Starting to have inexplicable feelings of impending doom…why is Yale making us wait so long?!</p>

<p>Yup, I know quite a few people who got into Columbia and Cornell last night. I’m so jealous that their college application process is over!</p>

<p>Also, I keep telling people that I’m expecting a rejection, not stressed, etc etc. But inside, I am freakin’ out!</p>

<p>…starting to freak out too. Which is extremely bad, since I am flying to Oxford for interviews on Sunday and I haven’t been able to get down to that ton of books I need to read for chem. So I’ll just make an idiot of myself in front of people with doctorates in awesomeness, get my first rejection and then get my heart broken by certain somebody…
Yay, positive! .D</p>

<p>JanaCZ, I’m in the exact same situation… I’m flying to Cambridge next week for interviews and I have to read on - guess what - chemistry as well! Plus it’s exam period and I have to study Philosophy and other stuff, while being overwhelmed by the anticipation of Yale’s reply… I totally understand you and I wish you best of luck! (By the way, Oxford would be great, too, and congratulations for getting an interview!)</p>

<p>Stanford decisions come out tonight at 3:00 pacific time, and the Stanford EA thread is flying like crazy. Curious what ours will look like in six days…</p>

<p>penn decisions come out in about 9 minutes too…
looking through their thread is making me restlesssss T__T</p>

<p>The Columbia and Cornell acceptances and deferrals have made me more nervous than ever… plenty of strong applicants got deferred by Columbia and Cornell, both of which are far less selective than Yale. Everyone in my school who EA’d to HYP now says, “What was I thinking applying to _____?”</p>
