Yale Class of 2017 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>My account works too. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!
Just kidding, haha.</p>

<p>I’ll be in my last class Friday at 2:00PM Pacific Time, but I’ll wait until I get home to try (if the site’s not down) to check.</p>

<p>Hi everyone :slight_smile: just stop by to say hi.
you guys are so lucky because you know the notification date for sure. >,<~
stanford is playing hide and seek… ugh! No need to tell how chaotic the Stanford thread is :wink: over 3000 posts already!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOUUUU!</p>

<p>Oh never mind haha I can log into my account. Guess it was a momentary blip. </p>

<p>How you guys holding up? Keeping things in perspective? I’m probably going to go to an open mic night on Friday, so I’ll have something to keep my mind off of things. I’ll check before though, inevitably.</p>

<p>Hey everyone. So two other kids are applying from my public high school and even though my class doesn’t rank I feel like they might be better applicants than me. Will this hurt my chances or will yale read our applications independent of each other? My class doesn’t rank.</p>

<p>If you are all qualified, Yale will juat pick those who suit its needs. At this point it’s all arbitrary.</p>

<p>But if your self-presentation is similar to those around you (you haven’t found some way to stand out from them), yet you have have weaker stats — that’ll hurt.</p>

<p>But if you’re all different in institutionally interesting ways, you guys will be less likely to be compared.</p>

<p>Damn… Pretty much everyone in my school knows I’m applying to Yale. Gonna be pretty awkward if I don’t get in. It doesn’t help that everyone assumes I’m a sure bet solely on the basis of my grades and sat… As if Yale doesn’t get 1000s of 4.0s + <2300s … Sigh</p>

<p>I’m the first from my school/area to even apply to colleges in the US (I’m from England), so to say there’s pressure from every corner is an understatement…
I’ve come to terms with not getting in, but I don’t think anyone else has…</p>

<p>Just over a day left!</p>

<p>This will be my last post before decisions come out tomorrow. Good luck to everyone! I hope for the best of us all. </p>

<p>Talking to all of you has been great, and I hope that some day, some how, I’ll get to meet you all in real life (:</p>

<p>The closer the time comes the more I’m beginning to doubt my chances… Good luck to everyone from the bottom of my heart! Over the past 5 months we’ve done nothing but talk about the results tomorrow and though the day is finally approaching, we all share a very special bond. From what I’ve seen, all of us have success in our future (:</p>

<p>Good luck guys… I know that not all of us’ll get in and yeah, that’s sad… but hey, we’ve got great futures ahead of us which aren’t determined by tomorrow’s decision.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK !!! :D</p>

<p>Good luck everyone! I know I won’t get in, but I’m sure that everyone here will :smiley: This’ll be my last post until decisions come out, just so I don’t die of a heart attack/palpitation/just keel over from anxiety.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Good luck everyone, and I really do mean that. My scores are definitely sub-par to what Yale looks for and I am expecting the worst. If I do get in, I can’t even describe how happy I’d be. Tomorrow’s the day!</p>

<p>One year ago my son was in the same position as you all are today, wondering if that Bulldog would sing when he clicked the decision link. It didn’t. He was deferred SCEA and ultimately rejected. </p>

<p>Guess what?</p>

<p>He survived. He was accepted at other great schools. He selected a school that is absolutely perfect for him. He is happy as can be.</p>

<p>I know you’ve heard it before, and I also know you probably don’t believe it: This decision does not define you. You all will be successful, no matter Yale’s decision tomorrow or in April.</p>

<p>Best of luck, no matter what.</p>

<p>Thank you, @NervousDad2016. Your post really relieved me when I needed it. :)</p>

<p>Let’s do this everyone! I’m so excited for all of you and so proud to have gotten the mere chance to talk to such inspiring, inquisitive students. I wish all of you the best of luck! Don’t forget, one school doesn’t determine your success in life. What really matters is what you do with the opportunities you have been given. </p>

<p>GOO–GREAT LUCK TO ALL OF YOU! :)</p>

<p>And…24 hours.</p>

<p>Just think, a bunch of people that know our fate and what schools we attended will be looking at this thread next year waiting for their decision…</p>

<p>I’m happy tomorrow it will end for me, all this anxiety has made me put up two pounds or something like that :)</p>

<p>Anyway, good luck to everyone!!!</p>

<p>I wish I could go to sleep now and wake up at 5.</p>

<p>Officially everyone at my school knows I’m applying…at least I’ll have a fresh cake and The Hobbit to look forward to after I get denied hahah</p>

<p>It’s going to take all my self-control to not check the decision while I’m driving home from school.</p>
