Submitted my SCEA on October 30, can't wait for my Eli account!

Just wondering, did anybody here choose to have their application forwarded to Yale-NUS?

@bestillandknow -- 24th, received eli 31st

@alocik -- No, as cool of an opportunity as that sounded to be, I wasn't sure that I was ready to go to college outside of the U.S. And even if I did apply, I knew that I'd end up choosing a lot of the schools on my list over Yale-NUS, so it seemed kind of pointless.

Huh so I guess I can look for it tomorrow, assuming they weren't too backlogged by the hurricane which is entirely possible...

Now to get myself to not be stupid/wishful and work on my other apps...

@alocik- I didn't. I'm not interested in attending a college outside of the US.

Out of curiosity, what did you guys put as your intended major? I wrote MCDB. Funnily enough right now I'm procrastinating on my bio homework.

I sent mine onto Yale-NUS! I figured why not, since it wasn't any extra work or money.

I don't know if I'd actually attend if admitted though... My parents probably wouldn't like the idea of 4 years halfway across the world.

I'm open to Yale-NUS. I never was one for chewing gum.

CantConcentrate · 11-05-2012, 12:00 AM

Ditto for NUS here.

I don't think I want to spend my college years in a place that criminalizes homosexuality at all.

Is the Nov 1st deadline for CSS profile a must? Can I wait for my decision and then send it in?

Philovitist · 11-05-2012, 02:37 PM

Yep, you can wait.

supercools · 11-05-2012, 02:53 PM

Awesome. Sandy-affected applicant here so I didn't even get the chance to finish it lol. Yale gave me the assurance though that one of my letters of rec could be a few days late (my teacher never got the chance to finish and my town still doesn't have power...)

AAA totally didn't realise it was 14th December, not 15th December ***... what's this about 5pm EST?? I'm a UK student so none of this makes sense anyhoo....

CantConcentrate · 11-05-2012, 04:12 PM

I'm pretty sure 5PM EST is 10PM in England.

shinee9 · 11-05-2012, 05:03 PM

I thought it was december 15th?

Kili16 · 11-05-2012, 06:03 PM

It was changed, this year we get it one day before.
I got screwed really cause that day I have to work all day long and I won't have a computer until late at night so the suspense will KILL ME!
