And all of a sudden the world crashed in around me

<p>790M+790V= 1580. I’ll leave it at that.</p>

<p>Are you trying to imply that you are a shoe-in with a 1580? They turn away 1,600’s. Nice reply to someone who is having self-doubt right now, which if you were perfectly honest, we all have at times. I wish the ADCOM’s could actually meet some of the people on these boards.</p>

<p>To iowagal and sewcurious, we all feel discouraged at times. Everyone applying to Yale has really super accomplishments and much to be proud of. If you don’t think so, take a look around your school at the other 90% of kids. Let’s talk about good books you have read lately. Anybody read Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy? One of my favorite books ever…</p>

<p>mel did you even read the OP? “All of my grades, test scores, and ECs, that I have worked on for years, are all mediocre.” I think a 790 in two sections is pretty awesome. BTW, I never even mentioned my frickin’ stats so how can you say I think I’m a shoe-in?</p>

<p>sorry, I did not see that sewcurious put stats - what the heck is that person stressing out about? I see your point - ma bad.</p>

<p>No problem</p>
