<p>I had my interview today and my interviewer was so obvious that I can tell for sure I was deferred…</p>
<p>shinee9, are you serious!? How could you tell?</p>
<p>whaat thats odd, how could you tell? I thought they told the interviewers nothing about us but our contact info?</p>
<p>Ah we can be loud. Talk about things. Do you people have second choices? Prospective majors? Cool anecdotes?
Also shinee, I doubt your interviewer would be given that information. What makes you think he was “obvious” about your potential deferral?</p>
<p>well I told him that I didn’t expect an interview this late, then he didn’t answer directly why but he talked about getting deferral doesn’t mean it’s over.</p>
<p>Ahhh, I just think your interviewer assumes that you were deferred, not that you actually were. Keep your head up! You may be accepted come this Friday ;)</p>
<p>My second choices are MIT and columbia, though I think that I would fit in better in Columbia of those two, more than anything I want Yale! I’m going into music, so I’d major in music! Have you guys visited yale? I think the campus is absolutely gorgeous and castle-esque, I love it. What did you guys write your common app and yale supplement essays about? My common app was about my cultural identity and the pressure to conform to either one, and how in the end I chose neither and lived by my own values, and my yale supplement was about tennis, tied into dedication and commitment/</p>
<p>maybe he wasn’t told about my decision, but he’s probably an experienced interviewer so he knows what’s up when there is an interview this late</p>
<p>you guys are so supportive it’s amazing lol</p>
<p>And shinee9, if anything that could be a good assumption because at worst you were deferred and not rejected, and at best, you’ll get a surprise acceptance! :)</p>
<p>shinee9, don’t lose hope! If anyone should be losing hope, it’s me, haha.</p>
<p>Cedardog, any word from Yale-NUS yet? :o</p>
<p>I don’t really have a second choice…i’m applying to a whole bunch of other places in the US though and i’d be happy to go to any of them! probably major in econ.</p>
<p>my common app was about baking and my supp was kind of an analogy between my life and monopoly…hard to explain but neither of them academic at all!</p>
<p>@shinee9 like Cedardog said, now you pretty much know that at WORST you were deferred! that’s better than the rest of us on here :p</p>
<p>Wooo!</p>
<p>So. I’m tired of all of this. Soo…tired…</p>
<p>My CA essay was about how I almost died when I was 12… days old and the sort of inspiration it gave me.</p>
<p>My supplemental essay was about me running away from a spider.</p>
<p>My common app was about how I came to fall in love with psychology. As well as about my homosexuality and its consequences for my family life.</p>
<p>My supplement essay explains my interest in Yale. It’s also “academic interest” heavy.</p>
<p>I’m a complete nerd, you see. >.<</p>
<p>@can’tconcentrate thats intense how did you almost die if you dont mind me asking?</p>
<p>@CantConcentrate , nope. But I’m a complete peace for being deferred or rejected. I didn’t truly express interested in Yale-NUS, and I’d probably be the worst person to be accepted the more and more I learn. I mean, no political organizations on campus? No protests? The harsh laws of Singapore. I mean I’m a conservative and it’s ridiculous! Lol. </p>
<p>My main essay was centered around politics in my life, going to the DNC and meeting a teacher.</p>
<p>My supplement was a quirky one about how I fell in love with vocal music and drama in a funny retelling of a musical anecdote when the girl I was supposed to kiss at the end slipped through my legs because I stepped on her dress during dress rehearsal (hopefully they laugh at that lol) and how drama has influenced my style of speaking and actions in politics.</p>
<p>So with a huge political one, and a semi-political one of I want to make an impact in politics and help guide the course of the country…not being able to protest, or being in something like YPU, or part of young-republicans, or work on campaigns…yeah, I’d be a horrible fit and wouldn’t be happy.</p>
<p>redboldx, intestinal mal-rotation. Sounds disgusting, but it was just that my intestines hadn’t developed correctly, so no food could get to my stomach. I have this, like, one foot long scar on my stomach now.</p>
<p>Cedardog, ahhh, I gotcha. Your supplemental essay sounds intriguing though, haha. I would have been mortified.</p>
<p>my common app essay was about my eating disorder; a really brief overview. it was really hard to limit it to only 500 words.
my supplements were about my relationship with my parents (since i’m an immigrant, my experiences with my parents are a tad different) and why i want to study what i do at yale</p>
<p>@shinee9 That sounds awfully familiar to my interview, now that I think about it.</p>
