Yale 2022 Applicants Discussion

@ShadowSaber thanks for that countdown timer, I’ve been staring at it all day lol

Nah he’s from India

Good luck from Harvard SCEA thread!!

It’s nearly 8 PM here in Africa, so decisions will probably come out at around 1.00 AM!! So nervous!

Friends are trying to be nice and be like no you’re totally gonna get in and i just laugh

I keep stressing out and logging into my Yale application portal as if anything’s changed, lol. Even though there’s nothing I can do about my results (whether good or bad) at this point, I’m still so anxious!!

I’ve been mentally preparing myself for a rejection or hopefully a deferral, but I didn’t think I was this nervous about the decision till 2 AM this morning when I couldn’t sleep and the nerves had me almost throwing up and now I’m sitting in class trying to calm down my stomach aiyahhh

@whartonboy14 I wrote exactly about that topic, lol

We at 4 hours and 47 minutes!!!

Good luck all! I didn’t apply to Yale, but a good friend who I’m backpacking with right now did. Hoping everyone here gets in!

@ShadowSaber oh dear.

Incidentally is your nickname a reference to fate/stay night (visual novel/anime/game franchise)

@YGTOZC Actually yes! It’s somewhat similar to another username I use, but I am a fan of the Fate franchise!!! So yeah, I was thinking along the lines of Saber alter.

@ShadowSaber hahaha nice!

By the way, everyone

What’s some of your favorite songs? Video games? Books?

We’re probably all glued to this screen for the next few hours so we might as well discuss some fun stuff :stuck_out_tongue:

(And lastly, good luck!)

edit:

Here’s a couple songs I like:
Astronomy (Blue Öyster Cult) https://youtu.be/7xXEtO3bEe0
Temple of the King (Rainbow) https://youtu.be/ZUpxniZBb5s

@YGTOZC big Ed Sheeran , frank ocean, head and the heart, Rex Orange County, Hamilton fan

I listen to a lot of Imagine Dragons (basically the only pop music), play a lot of JRPGs (Xenoblade 2 hype! And Nier:A is pretty great), and like Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (fingers crossed for the movie being good).

Surprised this thread isn’t over 50 yet haha, most of the other ones are over 100

Good luck to everyone for Yale’s decision from the Princeton SCEA thread!

@ShadowSaber Oh man, didn’t expect to see another NieR fan here! :smiley: (Haven’t played Automata yet though)

“Everything that admits is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of essays and death. Is this a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic application…and wonder if we’ll ever get the chance to kill him.”

Reading this thread is lowkey stressing me out, but in the most comforting way possible because at least i’m not the only one stressed out! Virtually no one from my state applies to these kind of universities or goes out of state for college so this is super nice. Good luck to all of you!!!(: <3

@politico2022 I feel you, I’m from Turkey and like probably less than 30 people are applying to Yale in total
