Oh boy…less than 35 hours to go. Good luck to everyone. My son and I both loved Yale both times we went to visit there, although I tried not to love it because of the admissions numbers. Soon we will know…or be deferred. Have a great day today and tomorrow and keep busy.
Also thought I’d add that tomorrow is the 100th episode of Nightvale, if you need something to take your mind off of admissions decisions. I know I will.
guys, no matter who gets in, we’re still friends
I should have applied to Amherst ED. I am so regretting it now! I love Amherst more than Yale but I realized that a few days ago. Amherst ED’s acceptance rate is like 39% :’( wrong decisions …
You do not have to go to Yale if selected, although thousands would love to have your spot. If you get in Amherst RD, its all good. My daughter has a friend that was pressured by her parents to ED at Columbia. She was accepted and now is not sure she wants to go. She can’t back out for financial reasons so she is stuck.
Hey guys, regardless of what happens, we’re all in this together. Let’s sit tight and let reality take its course. Like all of you, I’ve obsessed over getting into Yale too, despite having realized early on that my agonizing over the decision wouldn’t in any way change the outcome. We’d all love to go to Yale, but alas, a mere few of us will. Let’s just remember that getting a deferral/rejection is not the end of the world, and that life goes on.
Many of us will go on to do great in life, regardless of the college we end up attending, and I think that the beauty of it is that while Yale might seem like the perfect portal and stepping stone into the real world, there is no alternative for hard work and that sheer tenacity transcends the institution we attend.
Also, check out the pledge thread and help your juniors out!
Where did it say decisions were being released at 5pm EST?
Agreed @rebecca12345 @yalehopeful017 you two especially if you get in let me know!! if i get rejected it would make me feel happier of i knew that some of you got in.
Aw❤️ let us know if you get in too! I’m still debating whether to open it tomorrow tho bc I have a final on Friday…but if I wait the wait is gonna kill me TBH @nate1991
30 hours left :o Will all decision be uploaded by 5 pm?
@nate1991 that’s so sweet! I hope you get in too. Maybe all three of us will be classmates! Even so, no matter what, this decision does NOT determine your worth, you’re all so smart and talented and always remember that. <3
@rebecca12345 @nate1991 that would be the coolest thing ever! Dynamic trio! Probably won’t happen though
I wonder if Yale looks at this thread…
@yalehopeful017 LOL RIGHT?!
College admissions professionals are well aware of the existence of CC and other places like the reddit advice forums – they’re not bothering to read however. MIght they do a quick glance to gauge the current mood or concerns? Maybe. But in my interactions w/yale staff, they know their stuff left and right. They’re passionate at what they do and it shows.
Hey fam I’m a current freshman and some life-saver posted this link last year. It’s a direct link to the admitted students portal. People found out they got in before admissions decisions were released. Check it out (it may be deactivated right now, but if t works for one person, then it’s a loophole to see already).
@saltySY Many have said it only worked 3 hours before… Is this true?
@saltySY thanks, someone actually already posted the link and we’ve been trying it out. I don’t think it has worked for anyone yet.
Geographically, where are you all from?
