<p>Well… I just submitted my application! Woot woot!</p>
<p>Me too! Ahhh! Pressing that ‘Submit’ button was EXTREMELY stressful! :-)</p>
<p>I can’t submit until I finish editing my essays…got one pretty much down pat today (500 words exactly, heh) and my short answer and 50 word “Why Yale?” cranked out, but I still have my main essay to finish, which is sitting at a bloated 700 wordds right now. Going to be tough…and I have music tapes to finish recording/copying. It’s going to be a long week for me.</p>
<p>Anyone else find themselves doing a lot of “Additional Explanation?”</p>
<p>I feel the same way re: Yale obsession. After I visited, I thought I would surely die if I didn’t get accepted. But realistically, probably a lot of us who post on these boards won’t get accepted, myself included. That sucks, but it’s not the end of the world. I won’t let a college admissions board determine my worth as a human being. Because really? Most of us will succeed beautifully wherever we end up, and it’s no use getting attached to a school that rejects more than 90% of its applicants.</p>
<p>I haven’t submitted my app yet even though I promised myself I’d do it tonight. SIGH.</p>
<p>I’m promising myself to finish it by Sunday. I like setting optimistic goals for myself. :)</p>
<p>Just submitted my app…Even after I hit “Submit” I felt like I had forgotten something. Feeling pretty religious now.</p>
<p>I’m done with my common app, and alllmost done with my supplement. All I have to do is write the 50 words (it’s sooo hard to fit it in so few words and to actually say something convincing and true!). I have my recording session tomorrow for my vocal music supplement, and my teachers still haven’t given me my letters (though they both say they’re done)… I’m not sure when I’m actually going to hit “submit.” Probably Friday… seeing as I’m celebrating the completition of my Yale application along with my friend who is also applying early on Saturday with good food and good movies.</p>
<p>I’m afraid that if I submit it too early, I’ll think of something I want to change, but I won’t be able to! Friday seems like a good day to me.</p>
<p>my music CD didn’t record properly, so now I’m afraid I won’t be able to redo it until Thanksgiving Break… would it be too late to send it in then?</p>
<p>I think so…what happened to the CD? Is it just low audio quality? My piano tape isn’t the best quality, but I’m still sending it in because that shouldn’t affect much. Doing my violin tape on Thursday…hoping it turns out well.</p>
<p>Seems like I’m in the minority regarding applciation submission time on this site!!! I plan to submit it Tuesday night next week after ensuring that my appliction is as polished as possible with supremely-edited essays and the works. I figure I might as well use the complete time they give me lol.:)</p>
<p>The CD will skip a bit occasionally, which is really annoying. I don’t know what I am going to do about that as of yet.</p>
<p>Oo…that sucks…I went with the much older cassette recordings, which had, again, the problem of lower audio quality. Hope everything works out for ya.</p>
<p>You, and I both, EAD!</p>
<p>Good luck to you, guys. I know it’s extremely stressful to press that ‘Submit’ button, but Yale awaits. Yale: Priceless!!!
And, theoneo, hope you do choose Yale when you’re accepted at all the schools that you apply to during the next two months.</p>
<p>ahhhh</p>
<p>I just submitted. </p>
<p>I feel relieved, but at the same time like I can’t manipulate it and perfectionist it to death anymore…which is not the best feeling but whatev! At least it’s over with…</p>
<p>i just submitted!</p>
<p>gosh what a relief</p>
<p>I am not submitting till next week. I need to write one more essay! But I am extremely confident so it’s OK!</p>
<p>I’m almost done with my app. Got my last teacher rec today. I was a bit disappointed with it, considering I know the teacher very well and discussed what I wanted him to talk about, but he still wrote a fairly generic assessment of my accomplishments and grades. he’s got good intentions; he’s just not a good writer. oh well. such is life.</p>
<p>^At least teachers in your school show you their letters of recommendation.:(</p>
<p>I saw one of my recs. It was pretty good, but one paragraph was dedicated to reciting my math scores and math-related achievements even though I’m not doing anything near math.</p>
<p>As for essays… I’ll be hardcore editing them until Sunday evening, then submitting either then or Monday evening. Whoot!</p>
