@meers5 thank you so much for you advice! I have been struggling for a long time trying to find people that have first hand experience- your advice makes me more confident in my choice!
CC went down multiple times during UCLA and Berkeley decisions–granted each had over 90,000+ applicants, but all of the Ivies combined have more than that. Maybe each school has its own server at CC, so that it doesn’t crash during Ivy day?
I’m working, so I’ll be too busy to check, unless I get off early or they aren’t released exactly at five. I’m gonna be distracted all day, but its better than waking up at 5am and having nothing better to do with my life than refresh and obsess all day.
I’ve had a little internal conflict going on about whether I should even be hoping I will get into an Ivy League school haha. I was deferred early action to Stanford, but was later rejected by both Stanford and Duke. I have also been waitlisted by both Pomona College and Washington University in St. Louis. I’m so nervous that I’m going to hope for another top school and then be rejected, but I guess that is the name of them game. Good luck everyone!
LOL I was part of the UCLA and UCB cc crash haha…D-2 hoping for the best for all of us!!!
My loyalty lies with YALE. (Hopefully no Harvard adcom sees this. It’s probably too late anyway…)
@MajorlyPsyched I feel you. I have had similar results and I really, really want to go to Yale. I mean, I have been preparing for rejection but that little flicker of hope keeps burning bright. #preparedtohavemyheartbroken
@omgeegee I’m feeling exactly like you are right now. It is more likely that I get rejected but I still have that sliver of hope within me…praying for the best [-O<
@MajorlyPsyched Completely understand your frustration! I was so confident August-December that at least ONE of the Ivies I applied to would choose me, but that assurance slowly diminished over the past month. I too was waitlisted at WashU and Duke and rejected from Stanford. Acceptances at Rice and Vanderbilt are the only things fueling my hope at this point. Good luck!
I will be getting 7 decisions on Tuesday but Yale is definitely my top choice. Im so nervous yet so excited!!!
I am so nervous for this Tuesday. I fell in love with Yale within a week, and when I applied, it turned to craziness! I applied SCEA, naively thinking that it was the same thing as ED. However, I had applied EA at 8 of my safety schools. I ended up talking to the head of admissions and she calmed me down and spoke to me frankly. She told me that applying SCEA honestly did not increase your chances of acceptances and that it was better to build my safety net with the other schools, then risk it all just for a school with a single digit acceptance rate. What I’m trying to say is that I have put A LOT of emotions into Yale (as I’m sure that a lot of you have done as well), and I’m PRAYING for good news! Good luck to everyone else as well!!! 
@Songbird325 how did you apply to other schools early if you applied early to Yale?
Yale is the last school that S is waiting to hear from. It would be a dream and an honor. We are hoping for the best on Tuesday. I’m really proud of the way he’s handled the decisions so far-yes, no, waitlist. All I can do is hope and pray that Yale gives him a chance.
All I know is that Kelly Clarkson’s Heartbeat song will be on repeat on Wednesday (yup you read it well, because of timezones I will get the admission decisions on wed morning…)
@AnnaLuxe I’m an international applicant too
I’m so nervous about this Tuesday. After being rejected by Stanford, Yale is definitely my top choice. I want to get in so badly! :’-(
@binatang Haha, I didn’t! I think I mentioned this earlier, but I confused SCEA with ED (even though the name SCEA speaks for itself). I rescinded my application from the SCEA pool, and moved it to RD.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck with tomorrow. I’m sure if there was space for everyone, Yale would have definitely accepted all of you in a heartbeat. Good luck to all of you! You all have bright futures ahead of you 
Won’t be logging into cc tomorrow, so I also wanted to wish everyone the best best best of luck!! Yale is a wonderful school, but we are also great applicants. Yale would be lucky to have any of us. Whatever the outcome tomorrow, it doesn’t define who we are, who we’ll be, or what we’ll gain from these next four years . Most of us are going to be rejected, that’s a fact, but I like to tell myself that rejection is just as much an opportunity. It is an opportunity to make the best of your other prospects. I know I’ll be heartbroken when I very likely will be rejected, but I’ll just remind myself that this is an opportunity to follow a different route. Any opportunity is what you make of it, and we can all choose to make the best of our acceptance or rejection!! I am going to try to do so, and hope you all make the same choice!
In anticipation of my rejection - “hey there is always graduate school” :p.
Guys, what’s the link to check your decision?
