<p>I’m bio/pre-med; however, I’m very open to something else such as math or history.</p>
<p>@kendrickgirl, I might do gender studies too!</p>
<p>@leadbyeexample awesome. 
i hope the lgbtq scene at yale is good.</p>
<p>"i hope the lgbtq scene at yale is good. " Yale isn’t called the “Gay Ivy” for nothing. It’s LGBT scene is fine.</p>
<p>@guyinblue PS!</p>
<p>Well, I at first wasn’t all that sad when I was deferred since I was expecting it, but shortly afterword found it hard to move on. However, while writing all these other supplements with only Georgetown left to submit, I found myself realizing if I don’t get into Yale, it really be okay and there are many schools I’d have a fantastic time at. Of course, Yale will always stay my first choice with my priority reason being the community above else including academics, but I’m pleased to know I no longer feel Yale is the only place I can truly be happy (but still the place I’d be most happy 
)</p>
<p>Same here, Cedardog!</p>
<p>But I will try my darnedest to get in, haha.</p>
<p>:D I look forward to March. Could we just fast forward through February, please?</p>
<p>Honestly, I used to be 100% dead set on applying and attending CMU. Then, a little before junior year, I realized how pointless my obsession was since I didn’t even have set statistics yet. After slowly weaning myself off of a steady diet of Tartan, I started looking at other colleges I thought I might like and took a spontaneous road trip around the New England area with my dad over the summer as a rising senior. Now, I have a list of colleges that offer my intended major(s) (something in the biological sciences), and I would be happy to attend any of them no matter which one(s) I get accepted into. I mean, there are still a few on there that I sent apps to because I wanted to gift my mom as a thank-you for all of her support and care for me (the brat).</p>
<p>I’m still set on Yale, even after being deferred. No hope lost here! It’s great to see that my Mid-Year Report is in, that was also bothersome for me even though it wasn’t required for SCEA.</p>
<p>^ ALREADY!?</p>
<p>My counselor told me that grades won’t be posted until mid-January… <em>sighs</em></p>
<p>@Guyinblue I plan on doing economics! </p>
<p>The fact that yales early admit rate was so low makes me slightly foolishly hopeful haha</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959P using CC</p>
<p>how many schools did y’all apply to? i think i may have went a little overboard…</p>
<p>lucya, did you ever hear back from Yale admissions?</p>
<p>I applied to 5 :D. Probably less than average here on CC, but I’m still happy.</p>
<p>ram0276 - haha, so I wasnt wrong You will make for an interesting applicant, three diversities in one. sweet :O</p>
<p>Adodie, Cedardog, and Canadian - Hi5 guys/girls! 
I actually liked Yale’s Online Courses quite a bit 
thats what got me hooked on to the college’s econ dept. Anyone of your tried it?</p>
<p>Also, anyone have any idea what my mid year report should have since Im taking a gap year? What should my counsellor send in the transcript space? :S</p>
<p>@guyinblue funny story. So I thought, hey I’ll learn AP Euro from the European history course which lines up super well with the textbook an AP World teacher gave me (I’m taking it not as a class). So I was listening to the lecture while on a stationary bike, don’t really know what I did, sorta stopped too abruptly, but really popped out my muscle and threw the laptop off the bike…yeah that could probably go in a comedy. Moral of the story is…there isn’t really one but eventually my leg got into its normal placement and the laptop was not harmed in the process.</p>
<p>Something that’s pretty awesome (though for no reason a driving force to go to Yale) is they have their own city council seat for New Haven in Ward 1! Pretty cool for a political junkie like myself.</p>
<p>Cedardog - haha, i like stories like these Seriously.
I didnt know that. Fun fact 
haha, so Im guessing you are a future senator then? :P</p>
<p>@Cedardog, I CC stalked you and looked at a chance thread you had posted earlier, and it scared me half to death. I swear, you are like exactly like me, except Republican (I’m a solid liberal). haha, here’s to us both getting in and having tremendously nerdy political discussions in the future! :)</p>
<p>Oh, and anybody else really attracted to the Yale Political Union? That was certainly one thing that drew me in.</p>
<p>@T26E4 Yeah, I really love the gender studies department especially because my favorite activist Larry Kramer went there and gave a bunch of money to Yale so it could invest in tons of LGBTQ related resources The queer scene really is great compared to a lot of other schools.</p>
<p>@lucya I applied to 10 schools. I was going to apply to more but I thought it would be too many to choose from. Haha.
@Adodie Yeah I did a lot of gay activism stuff in high school along with being a member of my school’s government club. Yeah, I’m super liberal. Haha. I love Yale’s Political Union. It sounds amazing.</p>
<p>Yale-NUS is a joint liberal arts school created by Yale and National University of Singapore in Singapore. Generally most of the students are Singaporean, but there are some spaces for international students… I heard that the acceptance rate for Yale-NUS was like 3~4% which is RIDICULOUS considering that Yale had acceptance rate of 6~7% last year</p>
<p>So Yale is liberal? Oh joy. </p>
<p>I applied to 17-19. I might withdraw my app from one school, I might apply to one more.</p>
