Yale 2016 SCEA Discussion Thread

<p>I have a feeling I’m going to start off this week with only 3 or 4 hours of sleep, so that’ll put me in an exhaustion cycle which will speed up the wait (hopefully) haha</p>

<p>@classicgirll: If I’m accepted, I’ll probably just sit staring at the computer, numb to the world. If I’m excepted (pun!), I’ll probably just sit staring at the computer, numb to the world.</p>

<p>But in the former instance, I’ll snap out of it and run up and down the street. XD</p>

<p>Also, I noticed on the Harvard thread that they’re planning to do a Skype chat on the night of December 14th. Would anyone here be interested in having a Yale SCEA chat on Wednesday?</p>

<p>looking at Stanford’s decisions it makes NO SENSE.</p>

<p>Just read a few pages looking at the acceptances and denials just boggles my mind.</p>

<p>I would be in for that chat, but because I’m on the west coast and I’m busy till late at night, I don’t think a lot of you east coast folk will be up around then (unless I’m underestimating the power of insomnia).</p>

<p>i actually may wait till Friday night to open my account. The anxiety might kill me, but at least I won’t have to go to school in an awful mood. There were 5 other people at my school who applied to Yale early, and I don’t want to have to destroy anyone with my unhappiness.</p>

<p>I am 7 hours ahead and I will be up at 12:00 a.m. eagerly waiting my decision. :D</p>

<p>I am up for a chat, too. :)</p>

<p>As per the acceptance reaction…first, I will start running and shouting. Then I will cry probably, then at like 12:30 I will go out with my friends for the regular clubbing night downtown and will come back home early Friday morning. :D</p>

<p>If I am deferred, I will focus on my other college applications.
If I am rejected - same as deferred.</p>

<p>Ahh I’m so nervous!! I can’t focus on anything cuz my mind keeps thinking of thursday! </p>

<p>I think a chat the night before is a good idea! What if we did from 4-450 on thursday too? Just so we don’t have to wait alone! </p>

<p>Any tips on how to keep my mind off of thursday? I tried watching last weeks episode of glee, and of course at the end, one of the characters suddenly was like “so…what if I applied to yale? Its perfect for me, etcetc”.
Haha all my attempts at distracting myself have failed</p>

<p>Ooh yes, let’s do a chat!
I actually have been getting quite a lot of sleep lately. I think because the more I sleep, the less I have to wait.</p>

<p>What would be a good time? And we should get one of those chat sites that anyone can talk in if they have the link so we don’t have to deal with making accounts. My preference for time would be the latest you east coast kids can stay up haha</p>

<p>Seeing as it’ll be the night before yale’s decision, we’ll probably be up all night cuz I’m sure all of us will be too nervous to sleep anyways–i know I will.</p>

<p>Okay - I made a xat.com chat room for anyone who’s interested. That way no one has to deal with registering for Skype. </p>

<p>We can begin chatting now or wait until…howabout 8 p.m. EST Wednesday? I’ll be staying up late, anyway…</p>

<p>as for reactions to getting in… I think I would legitimately start sobbing for a few minutes…hours…
if I get rejected/deferred, business as usual. apps. homework. stuff.</p>

<p>ATTN: The Yale SCEA 2016 Official Freakout Chat begins at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, December 14th. Let the anxiety begin!</p>

<p>Great chat everybody! We will get through this together and storm the Yale walls in t-minus 4 days!</p>

<p>i still think skype is a better idea lol. sorry to be a party pooper x_x</p>

<p>Well, let’s take a straw poll - I’m not particularly attached to that chat site either. Skype is fine with me. Just let me know.</p>

<p>Who would prefer a chat site and who would prefer Skype?</p>

<p>I think a chat site is better? Just so that people without skypes won’t have to make accounts just to chat</p>

<p>How exactly would we do Skype?
God this waiting game is so nerve-wracking. At my school Stanford rejected four kids save one. Columbia did the same (but deferred, not rejected.) There are four Yale applicants from my HS and we all know that they’ll probably take around 1-2. </p>

<p>:D Four more days.</p>

<p>I like the site because we can use our CC usernames (my skype has my real name). And I like how the site can be accessed whenever between now and Thursday.</p>

<p>4 Days. :O</p>

<p>I prefer the site over Skype as well.</p>
