Yale Acceptances/Rejects/Etc.

<p>Anyone know what the message is on the site if you get in? Is it just a letter? Same for the other less desirable alternatives.</p>

<p>I've heard that there's balloons, confetti, songs, and fun stuff like that if you get in :D</p>

<p>oh i like that</p>

<p>ahh. what's on it if you're rejected? ahhhhh or deferred? ahhhhh</p>

<p>I think they play funeral dirges and show pictures of frowns and skulls...</p>

<p>that's funny, but not in a good way.</p>

<p>hahahahaaaa</p>

<p>random question: how do you make a countdown timer? Is there a website?</p>

<p>there are probably a million and one wesbites. try google. we should make one for the 13th, one for the 15th, and one for the 16th</p>

<p>that would require some programming knowledge. i'm sure you can find some free javascript ones online</p>

<p>lol, the fact that we have no clue when we're getting decisions is so frustrating!</p>

<p>I looked, but I think I missed something... I tried googling under "countdown timers"</p>

<p>My personal favorite: <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>wow you rock! you deserve admittance now! (not that you didn't before though)</p>

<p>Haha, its not what you know, but how well you Google.</p>

<p>However, if anyone wants to let Yale know I'm a good Googler, I wouldn't object.</p>

<p>"It is 14 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes and 30 seconds between those dates
Or 1274970 seconds
Or 21249 minutes
Or 354 hours"</p>

<p>WOOHOO!!! :D</p>

<p>(thanks lindsey, as if you didn't already have a hook, now you've got another:
SPECIAL TALENT -> CHAMPION GOOGLER)</p>

<p>Two weeks :) :( :D</p>

<p>14 days seems like less than 2 weeks, doesn't it?</p>

<p>Beth...are you losing it again? 14 days = 2x7days = 2x1week = 2 weeks</p>

<p>this one is my favorite:
<a href="http://www.contactplus.com/products/freestuff/count.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.contactplus.com/products/freestuff/count.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>if you download the 30-day trial one, it'll last long enough...you can even enter multiple events.</p>

<p>The read-off looks like this:
It is now Tuesday 11/30/2004 at 9:57:19 PM ET
Event: ED Notification
Scheduled For 12/15/2004 11:30:00 AM ET
14 days 13 hours 32 minutes 41 seconds or
2 weekends or
15 days or
349 hours (233 waking hours) or
20,972 minutes or
1,258,360 seconds</p>

<p>:mad: AHEM</p>

<p>NO tj i am not losing it again :p...I was just commenting that it seems like less...sort of the way 52 weeks seems like less than a year? Anyone with me here?</p>

<p>And Keebree, thanks for the link, that one is really fun. Except...the waking hours calculation is a bit off...I can't remember the last time I slept for 8 hours in a night.</p>
