Yale 2016 SCEA Discussion Thread

<p>getting anxiety attacks on a variable interval schedule…</p>

<p>Sorry guys. I guess I had read that somewhere before so I did not think twice about talking about it.</p>

<p>I have been trying to come to grips with rejection while at the same time staying hopeful (ran around for the better part of the day singing “be happy”).</p>

<p>yeah, i kinda wish i didn’t know about the acceptance letter. does anyone know what it says if you are rejected/deferred? i know someone who was rejected ED from rice last year and all it said was “APPLICATION STATUS: DENIED”. seems pretty harsh /:</p>

<p>DENIED = harsh? LOL… what would you prefer? something like NOT QUITE?</p>

<p>I think they were more talking about it being harsh compared to “we regret to inform you… Unable to offer you a place in our freshman class… We received many qualified applicants…”</p>

<p>@ender94, yes that’s what I meant.</p>

<p>though hahaha @bulldog, that would entertain me once I’ve dealt with earth-shattering grief & disillusionment</p>

<p>Can someone tell at what time approximately the chat will start tomorrow? :)</p>

<p>Hi fellow SCEA Yalie hopefuls! I’ve been keeping up with the thread for about a week now, but I only got a CC account this morning… just to be a part of the discussion :smiley: Anyway, I just wanted to say that even though I don’t personally know any of you, I’m crossing my fingers for everybody. I’ve come to terms with the fact that when I’m deferred or if even if I’m (sniff) rejected, it’s because of how amazing the rest of you are, and I’m sure you deserve it! <3 </p>

<p>I’m actually expecting a deferral, since I’m determined not to be an optimist or a pessimist… my friends keep making fun of me because I keep saying “when Yale defers me on Thursday” and things like that :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Good luck to all of us on staying sane these last 49 hours.</p>

<p>well i’ve got my Duke interview on 4:30 on Thursday. East Coast so I find out at 5…:|</p>

<p>Sorry for causing inevitable heart attacks, but we just got access to the admit website! Looking forward to welcoming some of you on Thursday, and good luck!</p>

<p>^ What do you mean, you have access to the admit website? current students can access decisions?</p>

<p>Current students can now see names of admits?</p>

<p>@ ^ WHAT THAAAAAAAA …don’t mess with people’s feelings man lol omg</p>

<p>No no sorry, I just meant that we can log on to the admit website and create profiles, so you can get to know current students once you get access on Thursday night. It was just a wake up call that new people are coming on Thursday and that I’m starting to feel old since 2016 is here already, haha.</p>

<p>Ah! That sounds cool for current students. :D</p>

<p>@ermsypermsy Welcome! I second your sentiment: you SCEAers have all made this interminable wait much more bearable, and for that, you have my eternal loyalty and gratitude. We’re a pretty neat little community here. Best of luck to everyone!</p>

<p>@amk33 The chat will start at 8 P.M. tomorrow night. </p>

<p>Here’s the chatroom link: <a href=“http://xat.com/YaleSCEA2016[/url]”>http://xat.com/YaleSCEA2016&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Was just about to send you a PM asking for the freaking list!!! Alas…I must wait until Thursday…(X_X)</p>

<p>I completely agree with ermsypermsy and galavantian; all of you on here seem really awesome (: Good luck to everyone with both passing the time leading up to the decision and the decision itself!!!</p>

<p>does anybody else have friends/family/teachers that expect them to get in? i’m an international so my friends don’t really get how hard and selective the process is… they keep saying “when you go to yale” and i’ve even bet one of them $100 that I won’t get in…</p>

<p>I WISH THEY COULD UNDERSTAND D: i swear, going to school on friday is going to be tragic…</p>

<p>heyyyyyyyyyy canarybird, as an international i TOTALLY know what you mean. what country are you from bee tee dubs?</p>
