<p>NUS shortlisted me for an interview! I didn’t end up taking it (= auto rejection from NUS), but that means they at least like me a little… It would’ve been nice just to have a liiiittle more hope for Friday.</p>
<p>I kinda have to agree with Philovist. I didnt send my application to NUS. I have no desire to go to singapore for college which I assume the reason for the hate is. Also, NUS is not the same thing as Yale no matter what Yale would like you to believe.</p>
<p>I think getting shortlisted for an interview is a good sign that Yale likes what you have to offer, I actually really enjoyed my interview.</p>
<p>I really like everything I saw about NUS (their philosophy towards education, the cross cultural/international aspect, etc), but I would not be able to handle four years in Singapore. If just for the weather alone.</p>
<p>Well it’s fine if you don’t want to go to NUS, you don’t have to disparage it though, saying you would toss the acceptance in the trash.</p>
<p>It’s pretty haughty of you to say something like that, Philovitist. I remember another thread in which people were calling you a jackass for some other comments you had made. I’m sure you don’t want that reputation. If you do get into Yale, please don’t carry a bad personality with you.</p>
<p>Where do we check our decisions this friday? and what time? my eli account never seems to work</p>
<p>5 PM on Friday</p>
<p>@arindia556 ,no, but I know someone who is currently in it at Yale.</p>
<p>I agree with arindia556. It’s okay if you don’t like NUS. That’s perfectly fine. Just don’t disparage and bash the college just because you don’t like it.</p>
<p>I cant log in to my eli account??? it worked yesterday… anyone else having this problem?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I…would give it a nice spot on my dresser?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Bad personality? Whaaat? I think you’re jumping to hypercriticism.</p>
<p>It’s just that I’m not at all interested in going to NUS. I’d rather go somewhere where it’s not illegal to be who I am. The fact of the matter is that Yale-NUS will be different from Yale in all the ways that makes Yale attractive to me.</p>
<p>Yale-NUS would be one of the worst places for me to end up. It’s not that the college sucks — it’s that I wouldn’t ever go in a million years.</p>
<p>Singapore’s laws are just really salient for me.</p>
<p>And I can respect that, Philo :)</p>
<p>Yeah, looks like they’re prepping. I can’t login either, it just takes me back to the page I was just on when I try.</p>
<p>I’ve been lurking around this thread today… it seems like you all kind of know each other by now.</p>
<p>Anyone else feel like they’re going to be sick? I tend to overreact-- even checking my SAT scores took me forever for me to do. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to log in on Friday. I keep focusing on the moment right when my brain registers the results, which is why I’m getting so anxious.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was for a really long time basically my whole high school career but changed my mind over the summer. I just wanted to have more flexibility during college.</p>
<p>Are you?</p>
<p>I was shaking when I checked my ACT results and opened the email for a scholarship program last year… I reaaaaally don’t want to check college stuff.</p>
<p>On the plus side, both of those were really good news! :)</p>
<p>my eli account still works…</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! Try to focus on other things until Friday afternoon.</p>
