Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I’ll admit that I am really scared, especially seeing all of your amazing chance threads. No matter what though, what will happen is, well, just that: it’s what will happen, and that will be it. Whether it’s at Yale, Harvard, or a community college, we clearly have all worked so tremendously hard. One decision isn’t going to determine our entire lives; I think it’s really important to realize that. </p>

<p>That being said though, best of luck to everyone. I’m so grateful for the amazing CC community that has been so helpful to me for the last year!</p>

222

<p>We should not see each other as competition! That leads nowhere really.
Besides, we might end up being peers at some school (Yale? some other?), who knows? :)</p>

223

<p>I couldn’t agree more.</p>

224

<p>I’m so impatient! Hope we can all take this journey on together. Maybe we’ll see each other at Yale next fall! </p>

<p>Litotes, when did you submit? I submitted on the 26th, school put their information in on the 29th. I want my Eli account! Haha</p>

225

<p>Eli accounts come about a week after submission. You should expect one by next Friday :)</p>

226

<p>Submitted my SCEA on October 30, can’t wait for my Eli account!</p>

<p>Just wondering, did anybody here choose to have their application forwarded to Yale-NUS?</p>

227

<p>@bestillandknow – 24th, received eli 31st</p>

<p>@alocik – No, as cool of an opportunity as that sounded to be, I wasn’t sure that I was ready to go to college outside of the U.S. And even if I did apply, I knew that I’d end up choosing a lot of the schools on my list over Yale-NUS, so it seemed kind of pointless.</p>

228

<p>Huh so I guess I can look for it tomorrow, assuming they weren’t too backlogged by the hurricane which is entirely possible… </p>

<p>Now to get myself to not be stupid/wishful and work on my other apps…</p>

229

<p>@alocik- I didn’t. I’m not interested in attending a college outside of the US.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, what did you guys put as your intended major? I wrote MCDB. Funnily enough right now I’m procrastinating on my bio homework.</p>

230

<p>I sent mine onto Yale-NUS! I figured why not, since it wasn’t any extra work or money. :slight_smile: I don’t know if I’d actually attend if admitted though… My parents probably wouldn’t like the idea of 4 years halfway across the world. :)</p>

231

<p>I’m open to Yale-NUS. I never was one for chewing gum.</p>

232

<p>Ditto for NUS here.</p>

233

<p>I don’t think I want to spend my college years in a place that criminalizes homosexuality at all.</p>

234

<p>Is the Nov 1st deadline for CSS profile a must? Can I wait for my decision and then send it in?</p>

235

<p>Yep, you can wait.</p>

236

<p>Awesome. Sandy-affected applicant here so I didn’t even get the chance to finish it lol. Yale gave me the assurance though that one of my letters of rec could be a few days late (my teacher never got the chance to finish and my town still doesn’t have power…)</p>

237

<p>AAA totally didn’t realise it was 14th December, not 15th December ***… what’s this about 5pm EST?? I’m a UK student so none of this makes sense anyhoo…</p>

238

<p>I’m pretty sure 5PM EST is 10PM in England.</p>

239

<p>I thought it was december 15th?</p>

240

<p>It was changed, this year we get it one day before.
I got screwed really cause that day I have to work all day long and I won’t have a computer until late at night so the suspense will KILL ME!</p>
