<p>Guys, no need to feel such pressure. Just imagine looking back to this waiting in 5 years. Itās no big deal. Wherever we end up we will still be who we are, right? Iām not saying that we should not bother about yaleās decision, but just ākeep calm and carry onā with our lives. Whether it is a cong or rej, we shouldnāt let one decision affect anything. Anyway, no one can judge us except ourselves.</p>
<p>BTW, Iām quoting my mother. She is one of the inspirations of my life.</p>
<p>Reading this thread is helping me and my excitement. I am the only one from my school to apply to Yale (or any ivy) this year (or ever!!) so being able to talk to other Yale applicants really helps put things in prospective. I canāt wait until Monday! Not sure what to do with my Yale sweatshirt I bought when I visited if I get rejectedā¦ It is quite cozyā¦ (:</p>
<p>@awesomenerd
I didnāt get that email, should I be worriedā¦?
And it says that they donāt have my mid-year report but thatās after first semester right?</p>
<p>This kind of sucks, though. I get out at 1 on monday and have to immediately cram for a physics test on tuesday. I donāt know that Iāll be able to focus considering the fact that by 5:00 I could know whether or not I need to pull all nighters every week for the rest of the trimester :(</p>
<p>Just kidding. Guyz chill. Itāll be alright. Five of my friends just got rejected from Stanford and they all still dealt with it positively. It really put things into perspective for me.</p>
<p>i also applied scea to yale, just found this thread and Iām cracking up because it reminds me of somethingā¦</p>
<p>iām in boy scouts. So a few years ago, Iām sitting at this super-intense boy scout election for whoās going to be in charge of the āsectionā (~the area of a state, depending on the state obviously, but iām from MO). So something weird has happened with the votes and the advisers are scrambling, pulling out guidebooks and making phone calls and all kinds of stuff. So thereās just been this long, awkward pause between the ~70 of us in the little amphitheatre by the lake. So out of nowhere to break the tension up a little, this kid stands up and shouts āI CANāT HANDLE THE PRESSURE!ā and then jumps into the lake screaming his head off. oh my gosh it was so great. </p>
<p>so anyway I dunno if anyone else thought that was funny, but i at least was amused and felt less pressured for a second. I guess the moral of this story is if youāve got butterflies in your stomachā¦ go jump into the lake.</p>
<p>Lol thx a lot for your amusing story!!! Comforting indeed. Makes me feel a little bit better. Yale normally accepts one student from my HS each year, and I just really really hope that itāll be me. Anyway, I need a story like this to laugh about and for a minute forget all these anxieties. :)</p>
