<p>While I have no proof, it’s been rumored that Yale requests first-quarter grades/other info for those on the fence between deferral/acceptance. Of course, this may also be the case between rejection/deferral, but I personally don’t see why they would go to such lengths unless they were considering an applicant for admittance.</p>

<p>In short, take it as a good omen, regardless of how meaningful/meaningless it actually is.</p>

<p>EDIT: Aaaaaand two posts have already stated what I’ve said by the time I’ve posted it. Meh.</p>

<p>I was hoping that’s what it was, but I don’t want to be too excited if they decide to defer… :frowning:
I’m just super nervous is all. But thank you for confirming what the little voice inside of me wanted to say. I have more hope now :)</p>

583

<p>@lolToasty, you have have my envy.</p>

584

<p>I hope your envy helps me in this one, sfaitht7. I’ll be sure to fill you guys in on what happens when I get my decision. Thank you for giving me more hope :)</p>

585

<p>honestly just checked my email to see if any of my teachers emailed me to tell me yale contacted them as well. pretty pathetic of me, I know! no such luck ):</p>

586

<p>^^I did the exact same thing.</p>

<p>Waiting for these decisions has made me pitiful :P</p>

587

<p>You don’t know how surprised I was when my teacher got contacted. I was hoping they told her of my status. I’m a dork lol</p>

588

<p>When did your teacher get contacted? One of my teachers is out of town until the end of the year (since like last week). I hope they didn’t try contacting her.</p>

589

<p>They contacted my teacher today but she said she got a voicemail and didn’t answer (I guess she wasn’t home or something). I’m hoping she calls back… lol</p>

590

<p>So it looks like Yale is still finalizing decisions. ><</p>

591

<p>Wait, shouldn’t they have made the decisions last thursday or so, because they hand over the accepted students to the financial aid office for about a week?</p>

592

<p>^ This is a good point</p>

593

<p>If they’re requesting info at this date, I can come up with two options:</p>

<p>1) They’re having an incredibly difficult time deciding on a few cases</p>

<p>2) The financial aid office requested information for some reason or another</p>

<p>But, hey, who knows?</p>

594

<p>You can never know with Yale…</p>

595

<p>Two days…</p>

596

<p>Has anyone else noticed the dearth of Yale acceptance youtube videos? The only Yale ones are of rejections that I have found haha. Anyways, I finally found one in the middle of this documentary on Asian students applying to ivy leagues (youtube Ivy Dreams 9/10 Admission Decisions at 6 mins). It comes complete with the blue screen and bulldog chant!</p>

<p>I hope we are all able to hear that beautiful song come Thursday!</p>

<p>Halfway through posting this I glanced at the time and noticed its Tuesday on the East Coast and was wondering where classicgirll was. Then I posted haha.</p>

597

<p>I don’t want to see a video with that acceptance intro thing because then fantasizing about getting in will become that much easier :/</p>

598

<p>haha
Have no fear,
I’ll always be near</p>

599

<p>@youwrotethis, haha that’s what I was thinking as well. I kind of regret reading ender’s description of the acceptance letter. Ignorance is bliss.</p>

<p>Blah how are you guys getting through the final stretch? I’m trying to tame the part that keeps hoping for acceptance and trying to come to terms with deferral/rejection (though I guess I’ve been trying to do that for the past 6 weeks). And I have an orchestra field trip tomorrow so that’ll help get my mind off things haha</p>
