<p>^^</p>
<p>Hey, eating food. Leave so love for us tech lovers. </3</p>
<p>Haha poor OneKing… xD</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Residential Colleges.
I can name them all now…Branford, Calhoun, Davenport, TD, JE, Stiles, Morse, Trumbull, Saybrook, Berkeley…crap! what are the other two? nooooo…oh, wait- Pierson, and SILLIMAN!! Yes, I remembered them all. Anyway, even the suckiest ones are great. They really make Yale YALE.</p></li>
<li><p>People.
I like Yalies. Every one I’ve met has been super attractive and amazing. They are a happy fun-loving crew who also likes working hard on the things they care about. They devote as much time to ECs as their school work. And they love their school!</p></li>
<li><p>New Haven
I actually liked what I saw of New Haven, but I live near/play in DC, so I’m not one of the types to be like “OMG NEW HAVEN IS SO NASTY” lol. I liked Broadway, the Yale Bookstore, the ethnic food carts, all the restaurants, Toad’s, ABP!!! And like someone said, it’s close to NY/Boston, but still stands as a city of its own.</p></li>
<li><p>Yale.edu
It’s seriously one of the best college sites I’ve been on…and I don’t frequent the Princeton/Harvard sites so IDK if it’s really that great…but seriously, I could spend hours bluebooking or reading about EC’s or looking at the virtual tour. I think it’s really nice site.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Why Yale is better than my high school:
- It’s much much bigger!!! Literally 20 times bigger than my school!!</p>
<p>2) I only share my room with at most 3 people at Yale. I have to share the senior lounge with my whole class. :)</p>
<p>3) Yale’s newspaper is amazing!! I know earlier when the topic was ECs, ppl said the YDN was too intense. But I WANT intense so badly. I love the thrill of tight deadlines and love the idea of causing change with just words and some pictures. Some people love to paint, others love to draw and I love using the layout program to create an issue: my idea of a masterpiece. At my school, no one’s passionate about it, which gets frustrating but at Yale, I’ll be near the bottom of the pool in terms of journalism talent, which makes me happy. I have something to work for. I just want everyone to like what I like and work as hard as possible as a result.</p>
<p>4) More opportunities. Small high school + ambitious student = exhaustion of opportunities for student. I want to try so many things in college and Yale seems to have them all.</p>
<p>50 points to princessbell for posting at the time she did. Look at it!! 11:35 v. 11:53!!! It’s a sign from Yale!!!</p>
<p>new topic for THREE days left: your reactions on monday!!! (accepted/deferred/rejected)</p>
<p>Accepted:
Break down, cry out of happiness, then immediately run downstairs to tell my dad who will then proceed to call/email his alumni buddies. Then I would call my mom (thus disrupting the meeting she would undoubtedly be in). Then update my facebook status, join the yale 2013 group, post my stats here on CC, then tell all of my friends online. Subsequently, I would go to the local Indian restaurant with my other EA applicant friends and hear about whether or not they’ve been accepted to Stanford/MIT (which they will be). Then the next day (omg my favorite part!) I will be dressed entirely in Yale attire, write my name + college on my math teacher’s board, and inform all of my teachers of the news. As you can see, I’ve thought this through MANY times.</p>
<p>Deferred:</p>
<p>Oooh my. I guess I’ll move on an complete my other applications. Yale will likely always be my top choice, but I’ll still be applying to Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, UCLA, Berkeley, NYU, Stanford (maybe), and Penn (maybe). I’ll be in good company too, everyone from my school has been deferred from Columbia, Brown, and Dartmouth (possibly penn too, we’ll see later today!).</p>
<p>Rejected:
If I am rejected, then I will be forced to believe that something was wrong with my application - like half of it was destroyed in flames or that Handsome Dan ate it. In which case I would be perfectly fine because it was totally out of my or the adcom’s control… then I’d still feel confident applying to other ivies!!!</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>gah.</p>
<p>1. Accepted: freak out, wonder if they made a mistake, cry, scream, call the few friends I told about Yale, do none of my homework, tell my teachers the next day and thank them for their recs, join facebook group, etc etc etc</p>
<p>2. Deferred: sigh, focus on other apps and eat lots of ice cream and chocolate and try to get my many B’s up to A’s…try to make myself like Stanford more than I do now (I do like Stanford, just not as much as Yale) just in case, apply to Harvard and Brown (I don’t like Princeton that much…), hope for the best for UCLA…</p>
<p>3. Rejected: cry and mope for a while, stuff face with ice cream and chocolate, try to get interested in other schools^</p>
<p>btw weren’t UC apps due Nov 30 for OOS too?</p>
<p>Denied:
Frown. Call best friend. Work on UChicago essays. Make a music video.</p>
<p>Deferred:
Shake head. Call best friend. Work on UChicago essays. Make a music video.</p>
<p>Accepted:
Smile and jump up and down and streak through my house with clothes on. Call best friend. Make a music video.</p>
<p>Accepted:
Take a screen shot so I can have that moment saved forever, silently freak out over it, post on CC, talk to my friends about it, and order some Yale clothes.</p>
<p>Deferred:
Honestly, I will be more bummed with this situation. Now I get to wait until the middle of baseball season for me to find out. But I will probably just shrug it off while around people and eat a lot of comfort food while feeling bad as well as going for a long run to sort things out.</p>
<p>Rejected:
Time to start applying for more safeties.</p>
<p>Accepted:
Scream loudly in joy, jump up and down, drive around in the middle of the desert (doing donuts!), have a fantastic dinner with family, let everyone who knows that I applied know my decision!!</p>
<p>Deferred:
Silently close the window. Sigh heavily. Begin to proceed to my boring schoolwork.</p>
<p>Rejected:
Cry!</p>
<p>No, seriously I’ll probably just stay in bed all day.</p>
<p>Accepted:
Say “Woohoo” and calmly tell my family. Then text my friends. </p>
<p>Deferred:
Say “Oh well” and calmly tell my family. Then text my friends.</p>
<p>Rejected:
Cry because then I have to submit apps to schools I hate and it’s more likely I’ll have to go to them.</p>
<p>Accepted to do list:
-Hyperventilate
-Check to make sure that I didn’t read the wrong thing

<p>sucks ://////</p>
<p>Accepted:
Scream loudly enough that all my apartment neighbors think there’s bloody murder (but in true joy) (I mean not murder in true joy but screaming in true joy :D)
Post on CC
Call brother 
Tell the people who know I applied.
Go some serious online shopping for Yale gear. </p>
<p>Deferred:
Sigh heavily. Re-jump start other college app work that had been abandoned recently.
Proceed to move onto homework. Make myself fall in love with other schools.</p>
<p>Rejected:
Cry. 
Eat lots of chocolate-covered raisins. Make myself fall in love with other schools (Williams looks pretty good right now in the chance of a defer/reject).</p>
<p>Accepted:
Scream, tell my family, grin like a lunatic all day every day for the entire week. Tell my friends and teachers and thank them for recs at school.</p>
<p>Deferred:
Sigh, mope, try to resign myself to the (95%) fact that i won’t get in, be annoyed at Yale for not giving me a straight answer.</p>
<p>Rejected:
Probably cry, be all depressed for the next week, but comfort myself with my Michigan acceptance (as of yesterday :]). Try to move on and work on more apps.</p>
<p>…Obviously i would be soooooo happy to be accepted, but I’d definitely prefer a rejection to a deferral. I’d rather just move on mentally and focus on other schools than wait until April to be rejected. Maybe I’m weird that way =P lol</p>
<p>Topic: If you could only ask for 2 things for Christmas, what would they be?</p>
<ol>
<li>duh. a certain canine in digital form bearing good news</li>
</ol>
<p>if that doesnt count as a Christmas gift (since it’s a bit early) then i would ask for:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>new glasses - my old ones were pretty nice, but i cant find the damn things</p></li>
<li><p>a trip to greece - i love all things grecian.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>A little something that has the word “congratulations” and “Yale class of 2013” in it. What? An acceptance letter? I have NO idea what you’re talking about. :D</p></li>
<li><p>More time – seriously, I have so much stuff that need to be done, a little more time would be nice. If it has to be a tangible object, maybe a new phone? My old one makes odd creaking noises whenever I try to open it. :P</p></li>
</ol>
<p>^ xD Your list is practically identical to mine!</p>
<ol>
<li><p>A pleasant email on the 15th, perhaps, followed by a large, well-stuffed envelope received via snail mail a few days after…</p></li>
