<p>Well…the website explicitly states that only short listed applicants get an interview but there have been many who have been deferred even though they did not get an interview. </p>
<p>Deferred? So are you talking about those who applied EA? I’m sorry if this seems like an idiotic question, but I’m a Brit and I’m still totally overwhelmed by your application system :P</p>
<p>Also, wouldn’t it make sense for them to notify me about my rejection somehow? </p>
<p>I am an international student too…
The thing is yale-nus is in Singapore and it has 3 rounds of applications instead of the usual 2 in most US colleges. So presently, round 2 is going on and if anyone gets deferred now, they will be reviewed again with round 3 applicants and their decision arrives sometime in June.
You can’t be sure you are rejected! Stay optimistic. 20th March is the day they are going to release the results; pretty close!</p>
<p>10 days before D-Day. Did you know the d is for day?</p>
<p>Conscience13, where are you from if I may ask? And I wasn’t assuming I got rejected, it’s just that someone suggested it before and I was referring to their answer ;)</p>
<p>As for the D-day, it’s 10 days to go and I’m suddenly tempted to withdraw my application because my SATs surely got me rejected right away :P</p>
<p>@dontor I figured it stood for decision. Or maybe depression. </p>
<p>Or maybe disaster/disillusionment? :P</p>
<p>D for drunk as a way to deal with rejections haha? </p>
<p>D stands for Dejection or a very weird reference to the real D-Day in history? Haha. I like “Rejection Week” because it includes the majority of competitive schools and their decision dates.</p>
<p>Be positive guys. </p>
<p>Just need to make it into one B-) </p>
<p>I applied to Princeton SCEA and got deferred…and only now am I realizing that Yale is my first choice…ugh</p>
<h1>thestruggle</h1>
<p>@satsarecool
Atleast you were deferred SCEA somewhere! I was rejected Stanford REA cause they defer less than they accept, which is pretty much different than the majority of EA’s out there. I am set on Yale as my first choice now as well. </p>
<p>Princeton accepted like 750, deferred 3,000 and rejected around 65…so I don’t feel too special</p>
<p>@satsarecool
They only rejected 65?!?! Stanford accepted 750 and deferred 550 out of 7000 applicants. I had no chance anyways, nor do I have one for Yale. But hey at-least you have a chance for RD Princeton right?</p>
<p>@matrixsurgeon I’m not exactly sure, but it was definitely under 100.
I guess I can hope. I feel like my stats are competitive, I’m just worried about my lack of “x-factor” if you know what I mean…</p>
<p>Ugh… Do you ever get that feeling that you’re so in love with a college you can’t really imagine not going? I mean, realistically, I can imagine being rejected from Yale, because 7% acceptance rate. But, in my heart, I’m attached (UNFORTUNATELY).</p>
<p>This is like Romeo and Juliet, except only Juliet dies and Romeo moves on and lives happily ever after.</p>
<p>@satsarecool
Don’t worry man (not assuming your a guy), I am in the same situation. I definitely have the stats, grades, and scores to be “competitive” but other than that, I doubt that I have the “it” or “x-factor” unless they see something in my file that I don’t consider up there! </p>
<p>(BTW, I disagree with your username haha! Its all about the ACT!)</p>
<p>@my88keys
Thats me and Yale and Me and Duke. But I think that I cast a wide enough net among the top 20 schools that if I can get into one I would be more than happy to go. </p>
<p>Where else did the two of you apply?</p>
<p>@my88keys</p>
<p>You visited? In general you guys ever been there? Straight up, I like the school, not as much as Brown, but I like it. But I pretty much know nothing other than it’s a really elite school that excels in the humanities and has Old school Gothic/Spanish Architecture…all of which is why I like it.</p>
<p>But I can’t fall in love from a website.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am curious – what is it about a college that can cause a student to get so attached to it? Aren’t most colleges pretty much the same?</p>
