<p>Yeah!!!!</p>
<p>besides it improves your chances if you are a stnk, small town neat kid</p>
<p>I live in a small town (pop. 10,000), but I think I live too close to New York City to be considered a small-town person.</p>
<p>westchester is most definetly not a small town sort of thing... I meant like rural mississippi or wyoming or idaho or north dakota, etc</p>
<p>I'm surprised some people don't just move to other states for the four years of high school and then <em>accidentally</em> forget to fill out the part about elementary school on Yale's supplement. </p>
<p>I mean, this one sophomore girl at my school moved all the way from Marin County (filthy rich section of Cali) to my crappy LA school just so she could play the academic-triumph-in spite of-adversity card. (she's black...)</p>
<p>that is unethical, I just cant imagine going to such lengths to get in. WE have to remember that it is what aperson does with a college education that is important, not necessarily where they get it from, though hyps does certainly give a good leg up. as my hyp alum interviewers told me( watch out for arrogance) you can find the good mentors and teachers at most any campus, and that I would be successful wherever I got in. for example my ochem teacher at cc is a caltech phd graduate who was a high school dropout but then worked her way up the academic ladder by attending a cc.</p>
<p>her story really relieved a lot of the anxiety I had about college</p>
<p>If I get into Yale and attend..... I would be only the second person that I know of out of my high school since Ted Kaczynski (sp? unibomber) to go to an Ivy. The thing is that I know I'm going to a great college either way... my dreams won't be crushed if I don't get in.. and all the better if I do :)</p>
<p>ha ha, that is not really a good record to follow up, you should mention that on your app, that will be a hook!!!</p>
<p>though it might pull you in the wrong direction!</p>
<p>The funny thing is that If I dont get into Yale or Notre Dame that I will likely go to Michigan Ann Arbor...... guess where big Ted did his graduate degrees in mathematics after Harvard? haha</p>
<p>I remeber that someone analyzed the works of famous writers using the SATII rubric. THey analyzed shakespeare, Tocqueville, Tyndale, Chaucer, Hemingway etc.. only Ted would have gotten a perfect score on the writing part.</p>
<p>Your time: 3:48PM Fri March 25, 2005
Target date: 5:00PM Thu March 31, 2005</p>
<p>Time remaining until this event is 145 hours, 11 minutes and 30 seconds.</p>
<p>That's not going to help you alleviate any stress. Try going to bed early and getting up late - that will make your days seem much shorter. ;)</p>
<p>The only problem with trying to pass time is that are gonna regret it after decisions. If we spend all of our time wishing and thinking about college it's going to feel like a waste after we have gotten our decisions. After it's all over we'll look back at the time we could have spent enjoying our senior year.</p>
<p>man, lol.. i just remembered i needed my login and pass for all those schools.. and i don't remember any of them nor where i kept the mails :(</p>
<p>I wasn't so nervous before this thread :(</p>
<p>this refers to a couple of pages ago, but to clear about the confusion about brown: they sent emails notifying people that decisions will be up March 31, and they gave everyone different times to avoid a server overload. You will have to login to check, and west coast is not any earlier, since it is __pm, LOCAL TIME. </p>
<p>I wish I knew when Yale's definitely releasing. March 31st is the ivy agreement date this year, but they've said April 1...so it could be anywhere from the 30th to the 1st, huh?</p>
<p>Ack, so I guess I should start checking on the 30th? :eek: This is so nervewrecking. I'm glad that Harvard and Columbia send out e-mails though. It seems more...passive that way.</p>
<p>does anyone know for sure what date the decisions come? becuase on the letter they sent, yale said it was april 1st. but a lot of people seem to be saying march 31st. </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>WOW. This has to be the 800th time someone has asked this question.</p>
<p>Yale always puts up the decisions a day before they say they will. Check at 5 PM on March 31st.</p>

Believe me, Yale's system is much better. At least you have a definite time you can check; with Harvard, at least, the emails are staggered beginning at a specified time, so you could end up clicking "Refresh Inbox" for two hours before the email comes.</p>
<p>i would actually prefer an email. i dunno why. actually. no i wouldnt. who wants rejection in their inbox.</p>
<p>Is being waitlisted from Georgetown a bad sign for Yale, and for other Ivies for that matter?</p>
<p>nope....one college might like your personality and credentials....one might not.....dont worry about it :)</p>
