-raises hand-
■■■</p>
<p>who else has to spend 495478956789689369 dollars on other apps? FMLLLLLL ■■■ ■■■ ■■■</p>
<p>who has to write 5484894 more essays + pay 5848514$ app fees + probably take SAT subject tests again(which are the weekend before my exams)?</p>
<p>ooh ooh pick me! pick me!</p>
<p>eff lol</p>
<p>hajikami: CONGRATS!!! 
(Remember me? And confusing your username with a Japanese song? :P)</p>
<p>Yeah, deferred as well…being Asian is such an anti-hook. 
<em>raises hand as well</em> A gazillion essays to write!!!</p>
<p>I wonder how Zishu did? I hope the internationals’ acceptance rate wasn’t too bad.</p>
<p>deferred. boo.</p>
<p>i feel like it’s better to be outright rejected, yea? cause then you KNOW you’re not good enough and you need to change your common app for other colleges, etc etc.</p>
<p>but being deferred is all just a big MAYBE!</p>
<p>i got in guys, im so surprised, anxious, excited! ah
<em>cries</em></p>
<p>@Xaari- hahahah! yes being asian IS an antihook
i think we should revise the template to say
Hooks (URM, 1st gen)
Antihooks (ie being asian, especially chinese)</p>
<p>i hate maybes. when my parents say maybe. when my friends say maybe. when my teachers say maybe. and when YALE SAYS MAYBE</p>
<p>got deferred as well…cooooool</p>
<p>from a girl who’s suffering through the RD wait -</p>
<p>congrats to everyone who got accepted! :)</p>
<p>sorry to all of those who were rejected, just remember, everything works out the end - you’ll all end up at great schools, i’m sure.</p>
<p>and to anyone who got deferred, welcome to the wait 
don’t look at it as a bad thing - yale wants to see more from you, and you definitely have a shot of getting in.</p>
<p>Deferred. Like the other 8 applicants in my school lol.</p>
<p>I was on the wrong link so I was like “*** its not changing” and I kept seeing people get deferred and deferred. then i did too lol.</p>
<p>For all those deferred who say they would rather be rejected… I was rejected and let me tell you I would do anything to be you right now!!! Now I feel like I’ll get rejected at every school I applied too. I honestly thought i’d get deferred but no such luck. The feeling of getting rejected proves to me that I’m the worst 35% of all Yale SCEAers. You think if I called admissions to find out why I got rejected they’d let me know so I could improve my app for other colleges.</p>
<p>ohmygodddddddd
I 'm about to check and I’m shaking so so so badly omgomgomg…I’m not ready to be rejected. I’m savoring the fact that I am still POTENTIALLY a bulldog as much as I can before I check…</p>
<p>Same thing Collegestress16, worried about my other schools now after rejection :(. Next stop is Columbia</p>
<p>collegestress16, dagol12 don’t worry
there’s one out there for everyone. if yale rejected you then yale’s not right for you. think about it, even if yale did want u in the end u wouldn’t want to go to a school that’s not right for you right? this is just like getting falling in love… what’s not right for you isn’t what you want and there r other very good schools out there and you guys are gonna make it to alot of those seriously so don’t feel too bad
just think that yale missed out on u, u didn’t miss out anything</p>
<p>Awwwwww!!! Thanks cdld2008!! It just sucks since Yale was my first choice and my confidence level has just soared to < 0%. I have heard of those success stories where a Yale SCEA rejectee gets into H_PMS but my mind is so pessimistic right not that I’m thinking of adding at least 5 more safeties just in case.</p>
<p>deferred as well. seeing that a tons of us really really smart kids got deferred makes me feel better though…and i feel like i’m opening my mind to more of the other schools we applied to.
i really believe that if you follow your heart, everything happens for a reason. everyones going to end up at the place they’re meant to end up at!
as far as another 4 months of waiting, well, patience is a virtue…
and, believe it or not, there ARE other amazing colleges besides yale. we’ll all be fine.
peace out</p>
<p>
me too. I’m strangely calm now that I can consider my options while still having a shot at yale later.</p>
<p>and Collegestress16 and dagol12 - I know it hurts, but I agree 100% with what cdld2008 said. there’s always harvard and princeton! keep your hopes up and give your all to those other apps :)</p>
<p>Why did everyone get deferred?</p>
