Yale Class of 2018 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>3 days. 72 hours.</p>

<p>@doctorknow97 No for me as well. I donā€™t think it means anything, though.</p>

<p>or have they just not put all of the accepted students in the system yet?</p>

<p>Iā€™m sure Yale has thought of every possible way students might try to find out earlier. I doubt this would be a loophole. And if it was, it would have been announced on CC years ago.</p>

<p>Good find, though @doctorknow97. Very clever ;)</p>

<p>@alex7607 Yes! I submitted an art supplement. I found the 10 piece limit to be quite unfavorable haha. But I hope they take it into much consideration, as I spent a lot of time, care, and effort on my art. Hopefully, it makes a difference.</p>

<p>@x3Strawb3rry haha awesome! So I take it it was in the visual arts. same here :slight_smile: I talked about art loads throughout my app. Do you mind me asking what you want to major in? Cuz Iā€™m hoping to do engineering, I was wondering how usual/unusual it was that applicants submit supplements without intending to major in the arts.</p>

<p>Iā€™m probably undecided right now, but I have strong interest in the biology field, especially bioengineering (so I also did the engineering essay lol). But I also indicated an interest in the visual arts, and my Common Application had a lot of art-related things in it haha. Iā€™m a little worried because my application does not show as strong of an interest in the sciences or engineeringā€¦ Iā€™m hoping my essay shows my true interest in it though.</p>

<p>can ever concentrate on other
supplements</p>

<p>@x3Strawb3rry Okay so Iā€™ve found another of my kind! Iā€™m hoping that being an arty Asian will count as a ā€˜hookā€™ of sortsā€¦ Iā€™m grasping straws, I know. Iā€™m sure itā€™s all good, mine didnā€™t really talk about engineering much except for in the engineering essay either soā€¦</p>

<p>@Kigzcorp ā€¦huh?</p>

<p>I applied biomedical engineering as well. Itā€™s cool that you guys have art backgrounds as well. My extracurriculars were all science-related or sports. Not sure which they would prefer. Hopefully weā€™ll be bioengineering classmates. Good luck to you all :)</p>

<p>I actually really want to attend Yale for its diversity. I feel like it is a very artsy school but also does not neglect its sciences. And, as I am undecided right now, the diversity can allow me to explore a lot of fields before deciding. :)</p>

<p>Iā€™m seeing all the Harvard and Stanford kids get their decisions and Iā€™m just internally screaming. bjl;asdj;lfajdkhada</p>

<p>we should hack into yaleā€™s network and find our decisions. totally worth it.</p>

<p>My school is actually a public school that is pretty average, so the number of Ivy League and HYPSM students is limited (we have only had like 2 so far if you include Caltech). I actually have a lot of classes with them, so I know them pretty well and Iā€™m happy for them. Still, all the decisions make me really really nervous and anxious, and I canā€™t help but feel a little jealous (not the negative kind of course) of those who know their colleges already. Ugh, so nervous.</p>

<p>Just curious - does anyone still have most of their college applications not completed? My art supplement actually takes up a lot of my time (still not done completely done hahaā€¦), and Iā€™m planning to just grind through the essays during winter break. Anyone?</p>

<p>ughh yeah I have many RD supplements to write over winter breakā€¦as I am expecting a deferral from Yale</p>

<p>Iā€™m kind of resigned to my fate of being deferred or rejected and already have a list of supplements that I have to complete over winter break. Seeing my friends get into their top colleges (Duke, Colombia, etcā€¦) makes me simultaneously incredibly happy for them and overwhelmingly worried for myself. I honestly am pretty sure I am not up to par, since I happen to come from the most intelligent class graduating from my school in about 10 years, so the pressure is enormous.</p>

<p>^ I know how you feel. I know so many people that have been accepted to so many Ivies and great colleges and iā€™m just likeā€¦</p>

<p>2days:21hours:50mins
Good luck everyone!</p>
