<p>[Freshman</a> Application Status Information | Yale College Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.yale.edu/application-status-information]Freshman”>http://admissions.yale.edu/application-status-information)</p>

<p>It just needs to be Thursday already.</p>

<p>Exactly. I wish they surprised us by releasing early. </p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>

<p>Bah, this is kind of embarrassing and it’s killing me, so I’ll post it on CC because it’s always calming to write. </p>

<p>Yale is my top choice. I’d never really been “in love” with any college because I don’t I can really “feel” a school until they’ve attended. I just picked ten or so of the most prestigious schools and a safety, and off went my applications. </p>

<p>And that was that. I shared in the anxiety of the college admissions process, I partook in just as much stress and pining as all of you. But by cruel chance, much more was at stake…I fell in love with a Yalie (admitted EA).</p>

<p>Or not really “fell in love.” I’d always loved her. Ever since freshman year, that night when she gave me my first dance with a girl, she’s stunned me by how… perfect… one human could be. We talked in school, hanged out during youth symphony breaks, and once went on what I like to think of as a little “date” watching her father’s physics class drop pumpkins for a lab on momentum. It sometimes felt like my love was perhaps unrequited, but a guy can dream, can’t he? But alas, my dreams of love were dashed as I transferred to a boarding school for my sophomore through senior years. Three years I could have spent with her were gone.</p>

<p>And so March 29, for me, isn’t just about my education, job prospects, friends, prestige, or money… though it certainly concerns my future. When I enter my Eli account on Thursday afternoon, my heart will flutter because it longs to make up that lost time, because it remembers the embarrassingly large smile I had as we shared that dance… because it dreams of being close to hers.</p>

<p>Thanks Kdog! Totally should’ve checked the website myself ><</p>

<p>I don’t know how they did the setup for the chat, though… anyone know how to do it?</p>

<p>@dariceguy13: That’s adorable :slight_smile: Being in a steady relationship myself, I understand your desire to spend time with her. Best of luck to you on Thursday, and go get her, dude :D</p>

<p>def adorable darice!</p>

<p>@dariceguy13: If I don’t get accepted by Yale, I will have a smile on my face because someone like you did.</p>

<p>@alexcuad: I’ve actually found that concept really reassuring-- that even if Thursday yields a huge ugly rejection for me, the lucky students who did get acceptances deserved it every bit as much as I did, if not more. and I’m certainly crossing my fingers for all of us… it’s going to be a long next few days.</p>

<p>^ I don’t think dariceguy13 has been admitted yet…
He likes a girl who was admitted SCEA</p>

<p>Yeah we realize that, but the idea that either dariceguy13 or someone like him will get accepted is comforting.</p>

<p>I CANT WAIT FOR THURSDAY! I got deferred from SCEA and the wait has been killing me. Yale is my dream school, as it surely is for many people, but my entire heart is dedicated to this school.</p>

<p>^i agree 100%. “May the odds ever be in [our] favor”</p>

<p>A little bit of a non sequitur, but do you any of you have spring break at the moment?
I do, and I can’t bring myself to do anything but wait. <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>waitinganxiously: I truly have fallen in love with Yale, and I’m also a deferred SCEAer. Best of luck to both of us!</p>

<p>onomatopoeia1: Argh, that would be terrible! mine is next week. but here are some things to do!
learn morse code
go minigolfing
watch the Improv Everywhere channel on youtube
invite some friends over and have a movie marathon (I’d say Star Wars, but I don’t know you)
write a song
go bowling
and pick a new TV show to watch online.</p>

<p>just distract yourself as much as possible :slight_smile: that’s my best advice… I’m so busy with school that time seems to be racing.</p>

<p>Yeah, I have little to no time to fret about decisions.
The only time I think about March 29 is when I come on CC…</p>

<p>Even though I am insanely busy right now, I think about the 29th prettttttyyyy much 24/7, which makes me quite distracted in other things.
ermsypermsy: nice suggestion! I suggest Arrested Development on Instant Netflix or Hulu.</p>

<p>any Big Bang Theory fans on here? Leonard Nimoy is on this week’s episode :D</p>

<p>I am a fan! (Sheldon laugh)</p>

<p>Hooray! :slight_smile: I knew there must be some fellow BBT nerds on the Yale forum, of all places</p>
