Yale Class of 2017 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>It’s weird. If you click “Eli Account Login” in the top left corner, it directs you to an info page about Eli Accounts.</p>

<p>It’s takes you to a list of various links to log-in at. Currently, only one link is active. </p>

<p>Soon, very soon, there will be two.</p>

<p>AND, if you click on the link to learn more about SCEA, access is denied.</p>

<p>"The rotations of the Universe are the same, up and down, from age to age.</p>

<p>Now either the mind of the Whole has an impulse to each individual; and if that is so, welcome what it initiates; or else it had an impulse once for all and what follows is consequential upon that; and why are you anxious? And whether the Whole be God, all is well–or whether it be Chance, somehow molecules or atoms, be not yourself then ruled by Chance."</p>

<p>That quote helps me a lot in times like these. Try to stay stoic everybody. This too shall pass.</p>

<p>See you tomorrow when a lot of this uncertainty will be tied up.</p>

<p>@litotes Amazing song! Thank you!</p>

<p>To all the people that are struggling with this last night as I am, take solace in the cold hard numbers from last year and, in case of a less-than-desirable outcome tomorrow, the fact that it’s just really damn difficult to get into Yale.</p>

<p>“The breakdown:
Total applicants: 4,304
Number of applicants accepted: 675 (15.7 percent)
Number of applicants deferred: 2,394 (55.6 percent)
Number of applicants rejected: 1,180 (27.4 percent)
Number of incomplete/withdrawn applications: 55”</p>

<p>I just wish they rejected more of the deferrees, even if that ended up being me. Closure is always nice.</p>

<p>I’ve been waiting for that article for ages. Seems it won’t be the news that comes first.</p>

<p>Procrastinating on an econ paper that’s due tomorrow. Maybe I’ll just stay up really late, then crash after school later to kill the three interim hours until the decision comes out at 5</p>

<p>dying…</p>

<p>1201 AM todays the day!</p>

<p>Check out the picture they posted on their Admission’s FB page.</p>

<p>Mine isn’t one of those, but they look pretty neat.</p>

<p>It finally hit me today that it finally happens tomorrow. I’ve been so busy with studying for finals and all this work for AP GoPo that the time has gone by so fast! I’m scared and nervous and excited and anxious. Good luck to everyone. I think it’s amazing how supportive everyone is. This is exactly how we said it was at the onset–we aren’t competing with each other, we’re competing against the odds, together. </p>

<p>That being said, I know we showed those odds what great applicants we are. Tomorrows the day at last! I have all-district band from 8AM to 5PM tomorrow and decisions come out at 3PM, I’m turning my phone off after the lunch because I will be even more of a nervous wreck than I already am otherwise! Haha, just kidding…</p>

<p>(Kind of.)</p>

<p>well, I guess I’ll see you all tomorrow. fingers crossed for all of us.</p>

<p>so how do we check our admission status when 5 comes around? is there a link or do we just login to our eli accounts?</p>

<p>I’m kind of in disbelief; it’s so strange to think that we’re actually going to get our decisions tomorrow. The feeling is so unreal, I’ve been anxious and nervous this whole week, but now, facing it today, I can’t even imagine it actually happening.</p>

<p>2PM can’t come soon enough.</p>

<p>T minus 16 hours.</p>

<p>Whatever happens tomorrow, just remember that you are all amazing people, and the mere fact that you applied to Yale (FREAKING YALE) is an accomplish in itself. I wish the best of luck to everyone here (including myself :wink: - how egotistical of me, haha) from the very bottom of my heart.</p>

<p>AND OMG, MY 1337TH POST >>>>>></p>

<p>For me as well today really hit me hard. I realized that this was it and decisions are coming out tomorrow. I expect to get rejected/deferred but hey, they have to accept someone! :slight_smile: haha</p>

<p>CantConcentrate hit the nail on the head. At the very least, we all wrote some extra essays and short answers, and that is something that most people did not do! We should be proud to be the dedicated people we are. Again, good luck to everyone! A thoughtful shower is calling my name.</p>
