@MT16Actor I’m not sure why he knows so early, but I wish I did! Congrats to him, though!
@mjstewart1224 oh well, you can still come back there 6 years later (7? 8? well, a while :)) ) from now.
@claraoswald honestly, I doubt it. Almost nothing in this show ever makes sense in the end :))
@Xboxgamergirl Someone I went to elementary school with, I had know idea he even applied…
@mjstewart1224 same here. Really the only thing giving me a chance is my unique background and Hispanic status. If I were Asian I would be done for. What are your top 3 schools?
@johnnyisgod Yale, Brown, and Cornell. I applied to a couple other Ivies as well, and my main backup is UCSD. How about you?
@mjstewart1224 my top three (aside from Yale) are Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth, though they are all reaches obviously. Safety is U of Alabama. I applied to a bunch of UCs but would probably go to Alabama over all of them including berk and LA.
I suppose outside of Yale, my top three would be Brown, Cornell, and Harvard, but again, they are all reaches so I have some backups. I’m not sure my personality fits at Harvard. I would definitely need to visit the school before accepting. I want to make sure that I’ll be happy wherever I end up, regardless of prestige.
Totally feel you, like Berkeley is prestigious and all but I really don’t like the atmosphere and am not a fan of the people from what I’ve seen. Have you visited Yale?
I read the article that someone attached about Yale’s decrease in applicants, and how the director of admissions is excited to release decisions-WHICH MEANS THEYVE BEEN MADE :’(. I have work today, hanging out with friends tomorrow, and work on Sunday. All I need to bare with is Monday!
There are moments @mjstewart1224 where I feel the exact same, where I think I’m getting rejcted and they didn’t even look at my app, but there are other moments where I think I stand a good shot! I remember in August/September I received a letter, wish it was a LL, but just an outreach letter for underrepresented minorities AND I TRULY HOPE IT WASNT JUST FOR SHOW :’(.
Wishing us all luck! Let’s make this the best weekend ever
No,not yet. Tickets are too expensive to justify a visit before I’m even accepted.
I will definitely visit before I commit, though.
Honestly the whole UC system bothers me a bit. I am really hoping not to end up there.
@gabe211212 will you repost that article?
@mjstewart1224 http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2015/12/11/early-apps-increase-at-peer-schools/
I just went back and read it. It does sound like they have made their decisions.
JUST TELL US ALREADY.
Lol, what was the reason to use different shades of purple in that article? I can’t even differentiate between them!
HAHA @Xboxgamergirl I had the exact same thought. Why wouldn’t you just use a different color for each school?
that article has a comment section. What if I just write “Hey, excuse me, did I get into Yale?”…ya think they will let me know ?! :>
I keep hoping they’ll surprise us with an early announcement. I know that logically this is not going to happen… But it would be nice.
@Xboxgamergirl, I am so glad that you said that, with your young and female eyes (males are more prone to color-blindness and older people just can’t see well :)) ).
I don’t mind it being shades of purple, but different stripes or hashmarks would have been helpful, or even the school name on the bar.
If this were a data visualization class, I’d have to give it an F.
So I just watched all my friends get into UPenn…
