<p>wow, that’s crazy. i come from a somewhat esteemed and well known family but i didn’t mention it. and anyway, it’s nothing like swedish royalty.</p>
<p>nothing in the mail for me today.</p>
<p>Something I was pondering: Do you think the admissions committee will “google” us as they review our applications?</p>
<p>not sure, but someone from yale was on my website for 40 seconds a few days ago. not good that the visit was so short. maybe they were just seeing what the site was about.</p>
<p>Well, I had a somebody from a Yale University address on both my blog and personal page at school last week. It could be a coincidence. There are so many people with Yale IP addresses. </p>
<p>I have no idea how they would have found my website if they did not google my first and last names together.</p>
<p>I did not put my blog or website anywhere on the application for any reason. I just didn’t think about it.</p>
<p>yeah, weird that they found you. mine was obvious; my email address is <a href="mailto:name@fullname.com">name@fullname.com</a></p>
<p>so, easy to find.</p>
<p>Hey es four, what do you mean by “normal?” Do you mean, not amazing? lol…</p>
<p>hey, i’m amazing; i am willing to accept that i may not be the kind of amazing that they want. :)</p>
<p>you sold me, ilivefree. you sold me…!</p>
<p>okay, so have you googled yourself lately? i just did and WOW, some old stuff came up!!! guess that’s what happens when you’re name is unique. :)</p>
<p>some dude as a song on his website that i wrote over 10 years ago. </p>
<p>the web is an amazing thing.</p>
<p>You can be certain they are googling to find out who we are. They will be hard-pressed with me. I only have an on-line business presence.
Ilivefree, I hear you. I am an anomaly of sorts, but hey, we will see how this all plays out.
Reading the profiles of past admits has given me a clearer perspective on EWSP. They are passionate about bringing people that can bring positive notoriety to theprogram.</p>
<p>That’s crazy, ilivefree! But it’s still kind of cool. I just googled myself and the first hits are my blog and my personal website; they are in that order! lol… </p>
<p>I never thought about that Pushin. That makes sense. It does seem like they want people who bring positive notoriety to the program. I kind of wish they had like a students profile website or something. But I suppose that would make a lot of students try and “mimic” them, and that would defeat the purpose of uniqueness in a sense. </p>
<p>Who knows??? My head’s spinning now…</p>
<p>I have two pages of facebook, a bio from a newsletter for the art museum I volunteered with, a friends blog-- 7 years old, and a link to two articles I wrote in a newspaper. I google myself occasionally to make sure nothing incriminating comes up, ha.</p>
<p>Willard, when did you apply to EWSP? I am just trying to figure out, if the applicants notified applied early. Ugh, it’s me, Hemingway and Wolfe for the next couple of hours…</p>
<p>Thanks for the PM Willard. I applied days within the deadline. I thought they were contacting those that applied early first, but I think not now.</p>
<p>I was thinking the exact same thing. When did you start sending materials to them? Everything all at once?</p>
<p>Last week of March. I just checked, and they received my final transcript on the 10th.</p>
<p>I think you’re right again. We should all hear something in the next 10 to 14 days… oh, that’s intense!</p>
<p>Just so you guys know. Somebody from Yale was on my website April 11th.</p>
<p>Man O’ man. That’s telling, no?</p>
