1) Congrats to everyone that was accepted!
2) I'm glad that Yale was my #2 choice. (My parents wouldn't let me apply ED to Brown, so EA to my second choice was the next best option).
3) I'm also glad I was rejected rather than deferred. Better to be rejected flat-out than have to wait and then be rejected IMO.
4) My interview was strange because she talked about herself the entire time, so I don't know what to think about that.</p>
