<p>oh my god. where did the six weeks go? @youwrotethis, totally agree.</p>
<p>1 day left</p>
<p>O.o</p>
<p>And yes, that is very true @ youwrotethis. I feel like us just talking and sharing this experience with each other is more meaningful than learning each others’ stats</p>
<p>One day left…gah XD</p>
<p>maybe just to get some minds off of it, go outside and look for shooting stars~? There’s a meteor shower tonight and I figured it’d be relaxing to look for them ^^ (lol I’ve been lurking since this thread was first made) (so gorgeous ahhhhh but darn light pollution)</p>
<p>I think I’m just gonna remind myself of the cliches before I open my Eli Account haha. “Everything happens for a reason”, “It’ll all work out”, “You’re the same person you were now and after you open it” and then just go for it D:</p>
<p>@Melodique- I was about to go check it out until I remembered its been raining for the past 2 days (I live in Arizona so this is like the cover story on the newspaper). But ya, not complaining about the rain. Love it <3</p>
<p>I live in Washington, home of rain and rain only LOL</p>
<p>@Melodique- Agreed! I don’t have school tomorrow, so about to go bundle up and lay out in the yard. Hopefully some of the clouds clear up soon.</p>
<p>One day…</p>
<p>ahhhhh
it looks like some posters beat me to it</p>
<p>Hope you guys catch some shooting stars! (I did the dorky thing and wished on them XD) ahhhh so nervous but we’re baking cookies tomorrow for a bake sale so that should keep my mind off it…temporarily.</p>
<p>@youwrotethis those cliches are actually kind of reassuring haha. Everything does happen for a reason.</p>
<p>I told my mom not to remind me about this and come tomorrow we would let whatever happen happen.
Instead she told me about how she saw Jeffrey Brenzel and tried to run after him and talk to him…
Good luck to all!!! I’m going to stop coming onto this thread until 5PM(ish) Thursday!!</p>
<p>This is the last you will be seeing me for the next 34 hours. I know seeing the whole “15 minutes… 10 minutes… 5 minutes… 2 minutes…” Will stress me out a ton. Sooo instead, I’ll resolve to listen to music and watch Youtube videos and maybe check a few minutes late.</p>
<p>I wanted to say (though maybe this is a little premature): Thanks for making the wait bearable. I am excited to see who gets in and who doesn’t. I hope that the chat goes well tonight! I wish I could join. I’ll be talking to all of you guys tomorrow evening!</p>
<p>…I’m pretty sure the interviewers at St Hilda’s College in Oxford liked me, so maybe there’s still hope after tomorrow…</p>
<p>Having difficulty thinking about anything other than Yale… -____-</p>
<p>I’m fully expecting to be rejected or deferred, so I’m not really stressed. Yale is my first choice for out-of-state, but I’ve already been accepted into my first-choice in-state school (Georgia Tech) so I’m glad I already have a good back-up plan…</p>
<p>I should probably start following suit to everyone else – coming here just makes my heart start beating faster haha. I just have this feeling I’m going to be deferred, and my good friend is seeing her Harvard SCEA results tomorrow @ 5 too, so everyone in our classes are like talking about it and bringing it up and can’t wait to see what happens. I feel like she’ll probably get in and I won’t. Ackk… Sorry to just rant off my thoughts, sitting here in the lab and freaking out :P</p>
<p>^@frenchhornlove, I’m glad another Georgian is active in this thread! Right about now, I’m slightly regretting not applying to any in-state schools besides Emory, so congrats on GT no matter what happens tomorrow!</p>
<p>For everyone else, I’d like to just get this off my chest:</p>
<p>Everyone on this board is an amazing individual who has done amazing things. In a little over 28 hours, some us WILL be accepted to Yale, and some won’t. That’s it. Nothing changes regarding the quality of our respective characters; there is no erasure of our accomplishments because Yale couldn’t fit some of us in. While to us, the world seems like it’ll end at 5pm tomorrow, just remember that, to the rest of the world, it’s just another afternoon. And come a year from now, it’ll be that way for us too. So, partially to relax myself and partially in hopes that this will calm the rest of the board, I urge everyone to remember that, in eleven days, Christmas will come (and, please, insert whatever different holiday-themed countdown is most relevant to you), and you will all have a wonderful time, no matter what may come tomorrow. I know I will.</p>
<p>Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I’ll be seeing you all and this board after decisions come out.</p>
<p>-Concerto</p>
<p>@Concerto and frenchhornlove: Yay, I’m from Georgia!
Yeah, I’m going to have to rush and apply instate to places if it looks like my demonstrated need isn’t enough…
You guys probably made a smart choice.</p>
<p>Guys, I’m nervous. I’m from Holland and people at my school don’t have the slightest idea how hard it is to get into Yale, so everyone expects me to get in… I’m tempted to skip school on Friday in case of a rejection, because that way I won’t have to tell everyone about my rejection over and over again ![]()
Btw, is anyone else getting really superstitious? I bought a new necklace today so I can wear my hamsa lucky charm on Thursday… wait… Tomorrow!</p>
<p>Well, good luck to you all!</p>
<p>Wow, there’s more Georgia people than I thought, haha
This might be a silly question, but… is anyone else afraid that if they DO get into Yale they won’t be able to survive the winter? XD It’s like 70 degrees all this week… I feel like I would freeze to death in Connecticut. </p>
<p>Anddd I had a dream last night that I got rejected. Please don’t be foreshadowing…</p>
