Yale Class of 2018 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>Well, this is my last post until I get my decision! Praying for you all. Excited to see who gets in. (:</p>

<p>Itā€™s night time for me now~~ Hoping for good news when I wake up tomorrow. Good night and good luck for us all!!!</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! :slight_smile: An acceptance would be amazing and fantastic, but just remember that a rejection doesnā€™t define you. You are all wonderful, beautiful people: just have faith that itā€™ll all work out in the end. Because it will.</p>

<p>D-Dayā€¦ T Minus 8 hoursā€¦</p>

<p>Good Luck to all SCEA Yale applicants today.</p>

<p>Am I the only one whoā€™s already filled in the post for the decision thread? Except the decision, of course :stuck_out_tongue: If Iā€™m accepted Iā€™ll be too excited to fill it in, if I donā€™t I might be too disappointed. I have to wait until midnight and Iā€™m too nervous to do anything productive</p>

<p>Iā€™ve had it saved on my email for months. Get on my level.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how weā€™ll able to view the decision on the ELI account?</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>Step 1. Log in
Step 2. View decision</p>

<p>Lolz</p>

<p>Hey everyone! Good luck to you all today!! </p>

<p>Quick question:
Iā€™m logged onto my eli account right now, and I donā€™t see a link to where I can find admissions decisions. Does that only show up when theyā€™re posted, or am I missing something?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>Good luck for us all on D-Day!!! Finally the lengthy process of waiting will be over and whatever the results are, we will be moving a huge step forward in our college applications. We should be proud of ourselves, seriously.</p>

<p>Iā€™ve been quietly reading everyoneā€™s posts and Iā€™ve got to say you guys are awesome! I hope everyone gets in and you all have really helped me with the emotional process of all this lol. Ughh about 6 and a half hours to go!!!</p>

<p>Hey guys! I was one of you last year, refreshing the college confidential page the entire day SCEA results came out. I got in SCEA and I am a freshman at Yale now. Yes Yale is awesome, but itā€™s not perfect. When you take away the aura it kinda has for being ā€œYaleā€, you realize it is just a college, just a school. I was fairly disappointed when I arrived here in August and realized it wasnā€™t the utopia I had built in my dreams. Now I am not saying this to discourage anyone, but just to say, if you donā€™t get into Yale, it isnā€™t the end. Yale is just a college, and if you are truly smart and talented, you will succeed no matter where you go. Someone posted a very similar message last year about this time and I blew it off, only now after leaving high school do I realize how true it is. So good luck to everyone, and keep everything in perspective. Also, feel free to ask any Yale related questions!</p>

<p>@arindia556 Did you apply anywhere else after you found out you were accepted to Yale? If so, were you accepted anywhere else? Do you have any regrets about choosing Yale?</p>

<p>Great question. I didnā€™t apply anywhere else prior to finding out about Yale (except UVA, safety) and that was a huge gamble. Had I been deferred, I would have had to scramble to get my RD apps in in time. Later I applied to Harvard, rejected. Kinda happy, cause I had already mentally committed to Yale and I would have just stolen someoneā€™s spot. No regrets about choosing Yale, it is the best school for me.</p>

<p>Also, one more thing, donā€™t feel insulted you were not accepted. Trust me, there are alot of not so smart people/not very talented people that get in. There are tons of people, who I know, who got rejected, who are way more talented than some of the people here.</p>

<p>Guys the website for admitted students: admits.yale.edu already says it will be open at 5:00 PM. This is so nerve wrecking. I accidentally tried to log in and it shows ā€œSDFā€ on the screen, can somebody else try this?</p>

<p>Arindia566, I hope that I wonā€™t have to point your post out to my son this evening, but in case I do, thanks.</p>

<p>Received a voice mail message from a local alum interviewed to call on Friday to set up an interview. He said he was late in calling me, apologized. I told him i applied SCEA and he said heā€™d get back to me. Havenā€™t heard back. Any thought on whether this means anything? Thanks and I wish all of you the best!</p>

<p>JD2014: It likely means confusion on their part. I am quite certain that the decisions are all made already. I guess if you happen to be Deferred, you can line up an interview. But hopefully you will not even need toā€¦ Good Luck</p>

<p>Now just 4 hours awayā€¦</p>
