<p>yale's rejections have always been the meanest... seriously. I think it is the only school that actually says "denied" versus the common "we cannot offer you a place" blah blah blah.</p>
<p>hmmm.... that really weird, you got in CA, but I didn't in MA? I'm not sure if that is a good sign or not. Really weird....</p>
<p>any more on the size?</p>
<p>Maybe the mailing discrepancies come from regional adcoms going about sending out acceptances differently. Who knows -- none of us has any solid clue on this, so it's somewhat pointless to stress about it imho.</p>
<p>frrp: congrats on your acceptance, I hear the MSA is very strong at Yale and last year's president was even tapped by Skulls. Mind if I ask where you lived before the US?</p>
<p>Canaday...conservative republican from canada...tsk tsk</p>
<p>For what it's worth, I haven't gotten in one in NC, either. Has anyone else not gotten anything?</p>
<p>what number did you guys call to get decisions last friday? im itching to at least try and get them to tell me, the wait is gettin' to me... and whenever i get transferred to transfer admissions from the main phone number i get a voice mailbox.</p>
<p>i called the admissions office and pressed 5 or something for the receptionist.</p>
<p>no matter anyway...rejected today!</p>
<p>I am not from Canada. "Canaday" refers to the Dorm I stayed in while at Harvard during the summer of my sophomore year.</p>
<p>On a different note, I received my rejection today. It hardly matters. I was not expecting much else.</p>
<p>I just got my letter. Waitlisted...</p>
<p>I doubt anyone will get in to Yale and not go, so I guess I'm rejected.</p>
<p>duobeef, sorry to hear
if i recall you seemed a bit more confident than the rest of us about your chances, mind sharing some stats?</p>
<p>also, what did the waitlist letter say? anything about how many people on it etc...?</p>
<p>haha I was just joking when I said "yeah I'm gonna get in". When my mom told me I had a small letter from Yale I was sure I got rejected. Didn't think I'd see a waitlist letter. It wasn't specific at all, just said the general waitlist info.</p>
<p>any internationals not here anything yet?</p>
<p>usually post from the US to England doesn't take this long and I haven't had an email</p>
<p>actually to be more specific (and sorry for being a pain in the ass) but has anyone been accepted through the mail rather than via email?</p>
<p>Yeah, I got my admit package in the mail today. The EFC is a little (well ok, completely) absurd for our family but I'm hoping we can work it out with the finaid office.</p>
<p>Don't worry about not getting anything yet. It's pointless stressing and speculating over a process we really don't know much about.</p>
<p>^^ congrats on your admission. one of the few, the proud, successful ivy league transfers on here.</p>
<p>frrrph can you post your stats?</p>
<p>My stats? Not why I was admitted. I'm qualified if that's what you're asking, and I don't have URM/legacy/athlete status or anything like that. I just had very solid recommendations and made an essay that said volumes about who I am (it wasn't in essay format even, just doodles and rhyme-like snippets from my life). I knew exactly why I wanted to transfer, why I'd be a good fit, and what I saw myself doing with the resources Yale could offer me.</p>
<p>I've noticed CC hangouts really have an obsession with perfect numerical values. I'm a little bit proud and happy to be the living proof this is a catastrophal approach to one's education. You're in college to learn and have fun, not obsess over being the model product of a mechanized, impersonal schooling system!</p>
<p>any chance you could tell us more about your essay?</p>
<p>Feel free to copy the format, but why not do me a better up and come up with something completely your own? It would say much more about who you are, where your particular mind wonders if you give it free reigns.</p>
<p>there is no format for me to copy, if i dont get in to harvard or stanford this week, I stay where I am for another three years until grad school. I ask as a mere matter of curiousity, and your coyness is only slightly appreciated. :-)</p>
