Yale Class of 2017 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>Accepted. I stared at the computer for about 5 minutes, I couldn’t believe it was real. I still can’t believe it’s real. Can’t wait to meet you guys!!
p.s. for those deferred or rejected, you still rock!! Believe me, I stalked most of you and you’re freaking awesome, and you’re going to get into great schools. Good luck!!!</p>

<p>Deferred…</p>

<p>Deferred as expected haha</p>

<p>deferred as expected</p>

<p>Deferred. Oh wellsies. Congrats to all those accepted!</p>

<p>Rejected:(</p>

<p>Wow, they released early! Congrats or condolences, remember this is just the beginning, there’s a long way to go until April.</p>

<p>The Results thread is now open.</p>

<p>So incredibly humbled. Accepted! But there was no song or video?</p>

<p>You need Java on your computer for the bulldog song.</p>

<p>Rejected. Mehhhh. Wanted to at least get deferred but life goes on!</p>

<p>Accepted. Humbled and honored to have spent these last few months with you guys. To those deferred and denied, I am positive you will end up at wonderful places. Wishing you all the best in the RD round.</p>

<p>Rejected. Now I go cry.</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone accepted.</p>

<p>Posting for my friend: accepted - he was really strong candidate</p>

<p>What do they want? Everyone in my two local schools, one who got 4 Harvard earlies and mine, with lots of ivies early and 1 Harvard early got deferred. If you want, my stats are up, would love to know the reasoning behind it. So confusing… </p>

<p>Keeping it in perspective though, here’s to 4 more months!</p>

<p>My son was accepted
stats: 36 (superscore Act
satII 800 math II and chemistry 800
highest gpa over a large class of 1500.
strong EC and excellent essay- very creative- different and out of the box thinking.
no major awards.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone here! I’m so happy for you all :)</p>

<p>Does anyone know the percentage of deferrals who are accepted. My son was deferred. We were just wondering if they have a higher acceptance rate than regular decision applicants.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>About 7% of deferred get accepted, same as regular RD acceptance rate.</p>

<p>@Litotes WHAT THE HELL??!?!??! HOW DID YOU GET A 5 ON THE AP LATIN EXAM!!??! Also, is that what your username is, that weird figure of speech?</p>

<p>Litotes means usually ironic understatement. Basically the opposite of hyperbole. </p>

<p>Anyone know if a deferred SCEA applicant who didn’t get an interview first time around can get one now?</p>
