<p>^ I feel 100% of what you just said :(</p>
<p>Wow, this thread seems super alive! Good luck from all of us over at the Brown Board!!!</p>
<p>anyone else log into the Eli account everyday just to see the same thing over and over again? Come on bulldog, we’re waiting for you!</p>
<p>I kind of hate how Yale has this super special way of accepting people with the bulldog song thing because it makes it easier to imagine getting in >.<</p>
<p>Four days…</p>
<p>Yale said it’d accept 650-750 SCEA applicants out of the 4310 that applied
(~15-17%).
Anyone want to guess how many it’ll end up accepting?</p>
<p>Also… Stanford’s SCEA acceptance rate was 12.8%
So, let’s just be thankful Yale is a bit more generous. :)</p>
<p>^ saw this post coming. Thanks for the daily countdown update…</p>
<p>It’s actually four days and fifteen hours 
I’m being super precise with this :(</p>
<p>I estimate something like 730, but that’s not really based off of anything in particular haha I reread my essays and my app – I tell myself it’s okay if I don’t get in, but want to get in pretty bad :/</p>
<p>they should just fill their freshman class with SCEA =] who cares about RD?!! I wish you got into colleges based on how badly you wanna go there</p>
<p>What scares me a little bit is that, if you look at the Darmouth, Columbia, Cornell, Stanford and Penn Early Decisions threads, you will notice a very “interesting” trend - most of the accepted people are not stellar academically, but have major hooks - URM’s, legacies and recruited athletes dominate totally.</p>
<p>amk that’s a plus in my direction - I’m no V or got 2380 or something on my SATs, but I do have a strong extracurricular set, plus own my own business</p>
<p>Notice that I didn’t mention co-curricular activities. If it were about that, I wouldn’t worry either because I am internationally recognized in several areas…</p>
<p>It seems to me though that URM’s (which I am not), legacies (which I am not either) and recruited athletes (which again I am not) have been given an edge in the early process, which does worry me. I hope Yale will not follow Columbia and Dartmouth in that sense. :)</p>
<p>It’s my guess that they will accept on the lower end of 650-750. Given that Harvard and Princeton have reinstated their early programs, Yale can expect more students to matriculate. Since they accepted on the higher end of 750 in the past, I would guess that they would accept closer to 650 this year. Just a guess though.</p>
<p>I didn’t see that tidbit about how many people they’ll take. That extra 1-3% somehow males me feel a lot better (which is sad). I also had such a realistic dream that I got in last night then I woke up and realized it didn’t happen (which is even more sad)</p>
<p>Over-represented majorities, non-legacies, not recruited athletes, holla!</p>
<p>@RadSquared that happened to me two days ago!!!</p>
<p>Holla @sfaitht7!! @UM: isn’t it the WORST thing??</p>
<p>…dude, I feel as if you’re right. Either that or increase the number of deffered to bolster the regular decision pool. That would be scary… Unless I got in lol</p>
<p>@benfranklin’s post I mean ^^^</p>
