Yale SCEA Class of 2015 - Chance prediction.. how do YOU think YOU will fare?

<p>(Sorry if the grammatical structure of that sentence was a little off… it seems awkward to me? Not sure…)</p>

<p>

I’d take an acceptance pile of dog s@#! if it would mean getting accepted.</p>

<p>^ I was going to say the exact same thing. And I’m serious.</p>

<p>now i’m curious…what’s in the yale acceptance package?</p>

<p>I’m going to go 0/100/0, seeing that my fee waiver is still pending, which probably means the admission office did not get around to reviewing my application… ■■■.</p>

<p>Is spending 7 weeks of the summer at Harvard taking two Neurobiology and Computer Science through their Secondary School Program as impressive as I think? I mean, I personally think this is prestigious, but what will the admissions office think? Also, how common is it for students to have spent many hours shadowing a doctor in the operating room and in clinics?</p>

<p>^ Not very common. Then again, neither are most of the activities that our fellow applicants in the SCEA pool tend to have in their CVs. Does that suffice for your self-validation? :)</p>

<p>Yea thanks. its just i keep going back and forth between feeling really good about getting in and feeling like i have no chance at all. Wednesday couldnt get here any sooner!</p>

<p>^ Ditto on all accounts.</p>

<p>I think I was really mellow about Yale decisions until 10 minutes ago.
I’m betting on most likely a rejection/defer; my scores are decent but nothing spectacular. The only thing I’ve got going for me is art, so hopefully applying as an art major will somehow help…</p>

<p>But I find the most worrying part about all this is telling my rec teachers that I didn’t get in. And having the entire school find out. Every one in my school seems particularly nosy about college decisions this year…</p>

<p>^Yes, I’m dreading having to tell people bad news if that’s the sort of news I receive. :(</p>

<p>Everyone who hears about my Yale application tells my I’ll get in. They say things like, “Oh, [Owlehn], of course you’ll get in. I have no doubt.”</p>

<p>And then I’m all:
“Oh, I have my doubts…”</p>

<p>And then they’re all:
“Silly. You’ll get in.”</p>

<p>And then I’m all:
“No, really.”</p>

<p>And then they’re all:
“… anyway, Silly. You’ll get in.”</p>

<p>Nobody gets it. :(</p>

<p>^I hear from many of my friends, “…when you get rejected from yale” haha. good friends.</p>

<p>^
I’d prefer those friends. :P</p>

<p>^ Me too!</p>

<p>91shippy: my fee waiver is still pending too! Since we can’t be sure let’s just assume they haven’t changed anyones from pending yet. It’s only speculation as to what else it could be. Just hope for the best :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Good Luck everyone!!! I didn’t think I would be nervous but starting at about 18 hours left I freaked. Tomorrow’s long day of school should be fun… not. :/</p>

<p>immaninjaforreal: They just approved it! Right now! I swear! This means that I change my prediction to an optimistic 15/75/10 :D</p>

<p>12.5 hours. Sleeping all the way through to night has never been so tempting.</p>

<p>@91shippy: my fee waiver was approved like 2 weeks ago. To be honest I don’t think it’s correlated with their decision anyway (the sooner the better? With my scores? No way.)</p>

<p>Yeah I would prefer ccuser18’s friends as well…</p>

<p>@Owlehn</p>

<p>My friends do the same thing. “When you get in…”
If only they were admissions officers.</p>
