@mjstewart1224 Totally don’t worry about it, then! But, I feel your pain, I’m a nervous wreck still. Stayed home from school to try to get my Columbia application done since I’m submitting it regardless of my SCEA decision. If I get in 2 apps to submit, if not 8 to submit! :’)
@Sterben That’s literally me right now and honestly I’m about to fall over just thinking about the sheer amount of essays waiting for me if I get a rejection.
@Kasami @Sterben I submitted all of mine already (9 of them), because I knew I’d be too sad to write effectively if I get a rejection.
Smart thinking @mjstewart1224 I did the same but unfortunately can’t change essays now
@mjstewart1224 Smart thinking. I submitted my safety and a few others but 3 apps remain sitting and stale, unfortunately unstarted 
@strideforward yeah, we just have to have faith that our essays were good, even if Yale says no. Don’t re-read them!!!
The Harvard thread is a minute by minute countdown. It’s so insane. I can’t believe that’s going to be us in a few days.
@mjstewart1224 lol glad to know I’m not the only one creeping on Harvard :*
@16elir haha! The Stalkers from Yale.
Reading all the "deferred"s on the Harvard thread is honestly making my heart break.
@glasshours I know. That’s honestly the decision I am most dreading.
@glasshours I know! I feel for them, knowing that everyone has worked incredibly hard for their dreams! I want my Yale applicant family to know that no matter what, you’re all amazing people and I’m so lucky to have gotten to know all of you over the past few weeks!
omg, while reading the Harvard’s thread, I felt like I was opening my decision letters. I felt the nervousness and my heart started beating very fast!!!
They were counting down, and this one person said that he/she got in, even though Harvard didn’t release their decisions…and then five posts later he/she is all like “jk, I didn’t even apply early lol”
GUYS I JUST WANT US ALL TO GET IN AND I KNOW THAT’S ILLOGICAL AND I AM SO TIRED OF HAVING AN ELEVATED HEART RATE AND OH MY GOD IS IT TUESDAY YET.
Ok I’m done.
You guys, lets swear to be sensitive towards one another when decisions come out, and not lie about the decisions. Like if you don’t want us to know the decision–then just don’t post on the thread–but don’t lie or joke around please!!
@Xboxgamergirl I felt the exact same way, secondhand nervousness sucks!
@Xboxgamergirl Of course! I will be so happy for anyone who gets accepted!
I won’t be checking my decision until 9pm on Tuesday, so even if I don’t congratulate you guys right away, please know that I love you all! I really hate that I’ll come home to a silent thread…
Nah, I won’t check mine until 9 either!!!
We were all ambitious enough to apply to a school as tough as Yale early, and I think that counts for something – don’t let a rejection or deferral break you and discourage you from continuing to dream big. We all have the potential to do incredible things, no matter where we end up <3
Also, last year, my friend was deferred from Yale early (then rejected in the RD round). She ended up getting into 80% of her other reach schools. An early rejection isn’t indicative of future decisions at all.
okay, so here’s my problem. Since decisions come out after some days, I have the will power to be patient. But it’s just when we get to the decision date, I lose it. Like right now, I’m fine and I’m somewhat relaxed. But on Tuesday, ill go crazy. Like I know that decisions will come out at 5pm, but starting at 6am (school time), I’ll be checking my status portal every single hour. And then since the time is 5pm for the release, I’ll find myself checking my portal every minute after 4:30.
