<p>@mig1623: I’m feeling chill <em>now,</em> but I’m not so sure how I’ll be the day before… Yale has definitely grown on me over the past couple months. I’m just trying to brace myself for rejection :P</p>
<p>I’m a deferred SCEA but I’m still freaking out. Yale was my dream school since middle school, so this decision is a really nerve wracking one for me. 1W4D!!</p>
<p>@loltoasty I’m a regular decision applicant, actually. Like ermsypermsy, Yale has really grown on me in the last few months. It’d be amazing to get in, but I’m going to do my best to trust in myself and keep the good thoughts churning during these last 11 days. Almost there, guys!</p>
<p>it surprises me that this forum isn’t going nuts like the SCEA one did… it’s actually making me reminisce about it. :P</p>
<p>I think this is just the silence before the storm…</p>
<p>I think us deferred students aren’t as anxious as we once were. I know I’m not :(</p>

<p>I envy you regular applicants. I wish I hadn’t done scea. Essays were not as polished as they ended up being. </p>
<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>
<p>I really doubt I’ll get in, but I have an inkling of hope. Of being waitlisted.</p>
<p>I’m kinda annoyed that I didn’t get an interview. I know they aren’t supposed to count for much, but I think it could have MAYBE set me apart. :/</p>
<p>Question- do interviewers usually invite parents to an interview? Mine did, he said they could come and ask questions about Yale if they wanted to…
I find that wierd cuz why would my parents want to conduct an interrogation (which they will eventually) when their daughter has like a 7% chance of getting in (statistically inflated estimate)?</p>
<p>@Corvids: your initial intuition is correct. Interviews count for extremely little except a few very unique cases.</p>
<p>@leo118: When I interview, I offer for parents to meet me afterwards to ask any questions as a matter of courtesy – it’s certainly not a requirement. I’m glad to chit-chat about yale and the admissions process w/parents. As much as the students are trying to sell themselves on Yale, I realize that I’m a rep for Yale as well. Informing parents, who may be intimidated or not know much about Yale or just to put a friendly face on Yale – is part of my duty as I see it.</p>
<p>After all, the kid might get an offer and I want to have put forth Yale’s best efforts to get him/her to matriculate.</p>
<p>@T26E4- thanks for clearing that, I was wondering I it would just standard procedure or well, more XD
I have a feeling it’s not good to be so anxious 
Call me mathematically incompetent but I’ve kinda noticed the people who fret most on CC tend to get rejected more. xD</p>
<p>^ YES IVE NOTICED THAT TOO! I go into panic modes for like 20 seconds sometimes and start freaking about about decision day, but its best o just chill out. by mid week this week decisions are going to be finished and whats done is done.</p>
<p>I really Hope that I will not have to change my user name.</p>
<p>
More like 5.7%, that’s the RD acceptance from 2015.;)</p>
<p>i don’t know who said it but i do feel a lot more relaxed this time around–i was deferred scea
it’s about 10 days to go
10 days before december 15 i was already having panic attacks randomly here and there but now, strangely, i’m calm.
not that i’m not anxious at all, and DEFINITELY not that i don’t want to go.</p>
<p>is yale officially going to announce it on the 29th? that’s what everyone keeps saying but i haven’t seen anything official…?</p>
<p>Here’s the official message:

<p>I’m with you, newmercy. I am the same, down to the T. I love Yale but they already deferred me so my hopes aren’t THAT high.</p>
<p>As much as I want to believe I’m getting in, I have accepted the fact that I probably will NOT, so I haven’t gotten my hopes up.</p>
<p>haha lolToasty- im glad you feel the same way.
does being deferred really mean you have that slim I chances? When I got deferred I was pretty disappointed but afterwards I was more relieved that I wasn’t rejected…
But it seems like everyone considers deferrals just as a delayed rejection :/</p>
