<p>[Yale</a> Daily News - What happens to a student deferred?](<a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/university-news/2010/01/12/what-happens-student-deferred/]Yale”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/university-news/2010/01/12/what-happens-student-deferred/)</p>
<p>For those who may be interested :]</p>
<p>pretty dumb article - it just lists a bunch of people who were deferred and their irritated reactions. the title of the article kinda went unanswered…</p>
<p>I agree that the article doesn’t say much at all, but I’m pretty sure the title’s just a reference to “A Dream Deferred” by Langston Hughes (“What happens to a dream deferred? …”).</p>
<p>Yes you correctly identified the allusion lol, but the article is useless saying that deferred students are nervous/irritated.</p>
<p>I agree! I said that. I was just responding to Rapha</p>
<p>“Now, as he waits for the release of regular round decisions in April, Bersin said he finds it ever more difficult to maintain the motivation that had driven him in past years, especially as some of his classmates are already celebrating acceptances to their first-choice college.”</p>
<p>^TRUE DAT.</p>
<p>every bit of the article is like telling my story</p>
<p>This is a silly article. What is its purpose? To make others feel sorry for us? I personally think had I gotten into college early, senioritis will set in at a much higher rate.</p>
<p>hey guys, keep being optimistic if you were deferred!</p>
<p>(from a deferee who just got a likely letter from columbia!!)</p>
<p>That article is so utterly pointless, it’s unreal. </p>
<p>But pigs is right, optimism is key!</p>
<p>Wow, congrats on the likely, pigs.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Glad you will no longer spread pessimism and hatred for affirmative action haha.</p>
<p>Hahaha Jersey!
Anyways, yes, congrats pigs!</p>
<p>congrats pigs :). Hopefully Yale gives you as good news in a few months.</p>
<p>I heard that Yale had 36,000 apps this year. That’s 10,000 more than last year… if that’s true, we are all seriously screwed.</p>
<p>Hoping to God that it was a joke or something.</p>
<p>you guys are not screwed!! </p>
<p>and i’m not gonna stop bashing aa</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i can hardly believe that! where’d you hear it? where would all those apps come from?!</p>
<p>and, as pigs has proven, none of you are screwed. 
although if we just avoided the AA debate altogether it’d probably be much more pleasant.</p>
<p>yes, i am an inspirational story for all you yale deferrees 
have faith ppl</p>
<p>^ I don’t know if 36,000 is the exact number because, obviously, Yale hasn’t released anything, but I expect it will be between 32,500 and 35,000. I mean, Brown got between 29 and 30 thousand apps, and we all know that it simply isn’t humanly possible that Brown will have more apps than HYP.</p>
<p>And, if Yale got 36k, can you imagine how many Harvard got? 40k?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, I believe that was the number. I’m only hearing this from somebody but I don’t know their exact source, so I’m taking it with a grain of salt. Hopefully in a few days, schools will release their numbers, typically Jan. 20-ish from past years.</p>
