<p>Yeah, but they were definitely my back ups. I’m glad I at least got into some though. I’m from the Midwest, and I guess I should have focused more on the SAT than ACT (we use the ACT more here) because my lower score on the SAT probably didn’t work in my favor.</p>
<p>Don’t worry things will work out in the best way for you. I have the same case like you and Yale is my top priority and I’ve been having some tense past few months.</p>
<p>I hope so. Are you an international?? I can’t remember where everyone said they were from earlier haha.</p>
<p>Yes I am an international. You a local?</p>
<p>Yep, well a local in terms of being in the same country. Hahha I come from a tiny town that’s basically never had anyone go to any big colleges. About 98% of the class end up going to college less than 3 hours away.</p>
<p>I don’t think that any of the colleges around where I live will give me the resources or skills to really fulfill my dreams, so I really hope I get off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Anyone hear anything more?</p>
<p>Its weird how no one else on CC has been notified except the one person earlier. What do you guys think is the reason behind this? Are they focusing on admitting transfer students right now?</p>
<p>I hope that has something to do with it!</p>
<p>Has anyone besides Alphabet heard yet?</p>
<p>Was recently accepted off the waitlist on Monday. Received a call from my admissions officer and she seemed sincerely pleased to be able to deliver the news. Now I’ve got 3 days to make the toughest decision of my life :(</p>
<p>@firstgenn congrats! Where are you from? Why only 3 days?</p>
<p>"Why only 3 days? " Because if firstgenn decides NO, Yale can then call someone else.</p>
<p>@firstgenn where have you already committed to? Let us know what you decide!</p>
<p>@firstgenn congratulations on getting the offer from Yale. </p>
<p>Hope some more get off the waiting list from this thread. Wish everyone good luck.</p>
<p>congrats firstgenn! Anyone else heard back. I heard that most decisions should come out before the end of the month. I hope some of us hear back soon.</p>
<p>I’ve seen on twitter of some people getting in and there’s seems to be some who have joined the fb group recently…</p>
<p>How many people did you see on Twitter and FB from the wait list? It’s quite possible that they are done with the WL, that’s why nobody else seems to have heard. How did you get on their FB site, or did someone check it for you?</p>
<p>^I’d say about 20-30, maybe closer to the 20. It’s fairly easy to see; some people were only added to the group on Friday and some this week.</p>
<p>Do you think that’s a good sign? I mean, at least they are using their wait-list, but then again, they have only accepted 2-3% of their 1001 students on the waitlist so far…</p>
<p>They’re maybe doing it in waves…</p>
