<p>I'm generally cool with most types of people and I'm a bit of a b1tch myself, so that explains it.</p>

Most types? But not Yale rejects?

<p>Hm, I don't really consider the college you were accepted/rejected at when deciding what "type" of person you are. I was referring to mean types and nice types and everything in between.</p>
<p>And anyway my friend is a Yale reject. In fact, about a dozen of my friends are Yale rejects. And in about 15 days, I'll be able to add a dozen more to that list :) (Including myself but eh, we don't always get along so I wouldn't say "friend." ;))</p>
<p>A propos your vision of an anti-Yalie land...I'm afraid we might have to kick you off the island.</p>
<p>(P.S. What would we call that place? A haven for Yale rejects...a true New Haven ;))</p>
<p>ooor not. ouch.</p>
<p>how about we redirect this conversation into a discourse on the merits of new haven pizza? is it really as mindblowingly delicious as an old class of 2010 thread claims?</p>
<p>part of the enthusiasm was probably cuz of the mindblowing deliciousness of being a yale 2010.</p>
<p>im a deep disher myself, so i have to excuse myself before you get into non-chicago pizza.</p>
<p>It's pretty good, surprsingly. That said, I still like papa johns: they deliver :0</p>
<p>ferny, do you know anything about a place around yale campus that gives away free bread every night? i read about it in the nytimes or yale daily press (i can't remember which).</p>
<p>Atticus! Yep, it's right next to Starbucks. Ironically, I'm in the closest room to it :) I wonder if tha thas any...nope... :)</p>
<p>Ferny, is it true that Yale students compete with the homeless for the free bread? I heard that from a Harvard student...</p>
<p>Nope. I'm pretty sure I've never heard of things like that. That just seems kind of low of Yale students, fighting for bread with homeless people.</p>
<p>I will put that in the category of evil Harvard students writing things about Yale.</p>
<p>so wow i'm surprised i spurred such a conversation. I am the OP. And I have not been accepted to Yale. That may happen in two weeks; we shall see. I know my post may have been misleading...but no, I haven't gotten in. Whoever was attacking me, let me try to respond: the whole POINT OF THIS POST was so that I can learn to be grateful. I wasn't being snobby or rude or ungrateful...if I like Harvard, I like Harvard...and I understand that it's just as likely that I get into Yale and not harvard as it is the opposite way as it is rejected from both. So I'm preparing for all!</p>
<p>"I understand that it's just as likely that I get into Yale and not harvard as it is the opposite way as it is rejected from both"</p>
<p>Haha so you're even more pompous than it seemed. There's maybe a 10% chance of you getting into either of them and 90% chance you'll be rejected from both.</p>
<p>NOOO I'm not...that definitely was written badly...it's obviously not as likely. And there's definitely not a 10% chance...more like 2 or 3. What I meant was, if you don't think about stats or recs or anything, about ethnicity or ANYTHING, just think, these are the 4 options: reject both accpeted both reject 1 accept 2, accept 1 reject 2, they're all THERE.</p>
<p>The feeling I get from this thread is "ooh look I'm better in you in this, this and this, therefore I should get in over you. if you didn't have AA I would be in your spot right now." </p>
<p>There is really no rhyme or reason to the admissions process, so stop trying to make sense of it and live with what you get. What good does it do overanalyze and obssess over college decisions?</p>
<p>That said, I would not put out my eye with a cigarette even if that meant admission into every single ivy. From all the reading I'd have to do for my classes, I'd probably go blind in the other eye as well, and then where would I be?</p>
<p>It's simple. Yale rules.</p>
<p>yes, and apparently new haven pizza does, too.</p>
<p>Yale is full of good-lookin' girls lookin' to satisfy lonely Asian men. Go to Yale, man. Its badass.</p>
<p>Ferney,</p>
<p>You said this in post #35:
"No. Yale Admissions are not crapshoots. I can tell that from the student body, from my knowledge of the admissions process and other reasons aside that I won't go into. There is a "Yale" student and many great applicatns are not "Yale" students."</p>
<p>SO what exactly is the difference between a "Yale" student and a non-"Yale" student who is a great applicant all the same? I'm just trying to use this as another predictor of my acceptance/rejection at Yale.</p>
