Yale Class of 2018 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>Does anyone know which Ivies don’t consider freshman grades? I just heard that Stanford does not, is that correct?</p>

<p>This might be the first weekend ever that I want to hurry through.
2 days, 21 hours, 5 minutes #countdownclock</p>

<p>Does anyone have any tips on how to relax or manage to survive this weekend? I never thought that my anxiety level could be this high…</p>

<p>It’s official, 11 kids in my class are going EA to harvard.</p>

<p>This wait is killing me.</p>

<p>How many were rejected?</p>

<p>@ticolette I just try to occupy myself with work :P</p>

<p>Does anyone know what one should do before opening a suggestion? Is it better to be alone or with others? I really don’t know lol. I think I’ll be too scared to even click. I’ll need something to calm me down…</p>

<p>@Eric, most were deferred. 25-30 applied EA.</p>

<p>I was able to not active a NetID with my Eli login either. Has anyone been able to do so?</p>

<p>^No. I think someone would have said something already if it did work. We’ll just have to wait it out</p>

<p>Lol there’s a facebook group for the yale class of 2018</p>

<p>^ 2 days, 18 hours, and 16 minutes, to be exact. I can’t believe the admit rate for EA at Harvard was 21% this year!!! It seems too good to be true… I hope Yale is so generous.</p>

<p>guys I am literally shaking I am so nervous</p>

<p>I doubt it’ll be 5:00. I know that might have been it in years past, but multiple schools (including harvard) have gone from 5 to 3 this year for whatever reason.</p>

<p>So where are you guys from? I applied biomed engineering from Long Island.</p>

<p>Really?! Because of the time difference, should I get up earlier to check?
OMG, so nervous</p>

<p>Was harvard originally 5? It seems like the harvard kids expected decisions at 3</p>

<p>@x3Strawb3rry - from what I have heard, just make sure you are calm before hand. Don’t open with friends, in person or online - that is bound to make for awkward moments for someone. If you are interested, you can film your reaction in case there is good news :D</p>

<p>My own personal tactics:
~Surround myself with fruit and tissues. Stress relief is always done best with healthy food :slight_smile: You feel less guilty later.</p>

<p>It is so hard seeing everyone being accepted while you are still waiting for decisions. I wish everyone luck.</p>

<p>Is it true that if you get rejected and don’t check your results within 72 hours, you get an email and letter about rejection? I don’t really want to be reminded XD (this is old: [Rejection</a> letters go paperless | Yale Daily News](<a href=“http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2009/03/27/rejection-letters-go-paperless/]Rejection”>Rejection letters go paperless - Yale Daily News))</p>

<p>they usually come out between 4 and 5? I think.</p>

<p>My two-cents would be to simply try to relax these last few days, give yourself a break from the school work I’m sure you all have been occupied with the last few months. After all, there’s not much you can do these last few days; worrying won’t magically increase your chances.
I know that’s much easier said than done, so what I’m personally doing is occupying myself with a whole bunch of nothing (i.e. youtube videos, movies, reading buzzfeed, etc.) to get my mind off, especially since I’m an international student so I’ll find out a day later than most of you guys here :frowning: The anticipation!
Here are some links to websites that I’ve been procrastinating on:
