<p>I’m leaving tomorrow for Baltimore, because on Thursday I’m interviewing at JHU. Drive all day tomorrow, spend Thursday in B’More, drive to Yale on Friday, conference on Saturday, drive home Sunday. My dad’s leaving for Michigan to leave for Afghanistan on Monday, so we have to high-tail it back home.</p>
<p>My mother: So, tell me again why we’re going to Yale tomorrow?
Me: -____-</p>
<p>Regardless, CONFERENCE TOMORROW WOOOO</p>
<p>Woo! I’ve been waiting for this day! Off to the airport in an hour! Hopefully I make my flight. -_-
See you guys at the conference!
I’ll be wearing a blue button up shirt with a blue Pi shirt underneath, and probably shorts because it’s going to be like 83.</p>
<p>^^lol, that sounds like something my mom would say</p>
<p>I’m here! I did a campus tour, information session and student forum today. Yale is AMAZING! I can’t wait for tomorrow! Ill be wearing a black and pink flowered dress and I have brown curly hair. Oh, and I’m tall 
that seems to be the feature people point out most.</p>
<p>What are you guys going to wear??</p>
<p>Yesterday’s conference was extremely inspiring! I really loved the binders that they handed out to us with all the notes inside. However, the day was PACKED with activities and lectures; I felt like they were trying to squeeze a two-day schedule into one day. Does anyone else feel the same way? I was so tired I passed out almost as soon as I hit the hotel bed.</p>
<p>I had a great time! Everyone was so nice and it was really motivating. I wish they had more activities for the parents, though. My mom was seriously annoyed by the end.</p>
<p>Azyrk13, after reading your last post I’m pretty sure I was sitting with you at lunch… I was the one wearing a black shirt with a feather pattern and telling a lot of cat stories, haha.</p>
<p>It was awesome! What group were you guys in? What’d you think of the adcoms? </p>

I put my email address down on a list during the college fair and saw that the last person had an email address that started with drumwriter 
Small world. </p>
<p>I was in Group 7. </p>
<p>@lizziedoll456,
your accent is very cute 
we ate lunch together and talked. (I had a bright orange bow).</p>
<p>I enjoyed the conference but I do agree with you @ixiedin. It truly was inspiring and makes me want to start the match application already!</p>
<p>@ liddydonaghy - Ah yes! We were sitting together at lunch. Haha</p>
<p>Was anyone else here in group 9?</p>
<p>The conference was amazing. I will agree, it was a good amount to take in, and I was pretty tired afterwards. I feel that it was extremely helpful and that it gave me some intuition/relief about the application process.
What booths did you guys like the most? I enjoyed talking to the UChicago (of course), Brown, and Princeton people the most. They were all really nice and answered my questions without making me feel awkward like some of the others did. haha</p>
<p>Lol. I was annoyed at alot of the kids there and I felt bad for the other half.</p>
<p>Some of the kids were really inconsiderate to the fact that other people were waiting behind them at the college fair. This one hispanic girl at the Columbia table went ON and ON and ON and ON, told her ENTIRE life story (no. LITERALLY. she told it), and handed the dude a business card of her face… I was like w-t-f… Do you not see that 7 kids have been waiting for 15 minutes now? </p>
<p>It was nice that some people were outgoing but the other half were timid and didn’t know what to say or do. I was annoyed at the people who were really self-seeking and as a result, inconsiderate. </p>
<p>The officers from the bigger colleges were too laid back… Like, so jaded of eager applicants that they stopped caring. (Columbia guy, for example, was just sitting there, all laid back in his chair). </p>
<p>I really liked the lady from Wesleyan. I got her personal email address/contact info, and the same from lady from Penn who did the essay-writing workshop. </p>
<p>I’m not interested in applying to Stanford, but the officer from Stanford was downright awesome. So funny 
He was a commenter at the essay-writing workshop I was in and had tons of funny anecdotes to tell. </p>
<p>For those of you who spoke with the Amherst rep, did he give any of you an envelope with a letter in it, inviting you to something?</p>
<p>Hey everyone! I only just found this site after getting home from the Yale Conference… -.- It seems like the general consensus was that it was pretty awesome which it totally was! A lot of the reps (e.g. MIT and Vassar) were really friendly and actually made me interested in their colleges. It was all-around really interesting and helpful, in my opinion. Any other Group 1’ers from the Yale conference on here? Woop woop! =)</p>
<p>Group 3 for life!!!</p>
<p>@noloserhere
I was definitely there at the Columbia table when that girl kept on talking. I was to the left and was the guy that asked about the Physics program at Columbia. I also went to the Amherst rep and got a letter as well. I might apply to it. </p>
<p>For what its worth, I was in Group 7.</p>
<p>Hey lalaland123,
I was the sleep-deprived girl that you gave your email address to. ;)</p>
<p>I’m applying to the October date for Amherst. Maybe we’ll see each other there again there
PM me if you want to talk. Your email address is huge…</p>
<p>Group 9.</p>
<p>I really enjoyed Erin Hutchinson’s lesson on the essay. I ended up talking to her at the Washington and Lee table at the college fair and she talked to me about some of the school’s stereotypes and how its reputation is changing slower than the types of students there. Definitely a school I wasn’t considering before. :)</p>
<p>The Quest Scholars were all really helpful too. I think I ended up talking to more of them than admissions officers! Oh well.</p>
<p>@lalaland123 just to join the club, I was unfortunate enough to stand behind whom I think is the same girl at the Princeton table. I got so annoyed at the end (while suffering from a migraine problem) that I just left and joined the MIT line instead. >></p>
<p>Man… I feel like I totally missed out on the Conference! Wish my mom wasn’t overprotective enough to send me by myself! 
But i have a question… Does the fact that you qualified for College Prep Scholarship enhance your application for college? I was always curious about that…</p>
<p>YAY! My Telementoring Program stuff came! I hope they give me some helpful college app tips Anyone going to be part of it?</p>
