<p>Accepted Id scream and cheer for a good 10 minutes, followed by a ritual burning of all my other applications except the one that is already submitted. Id start calling everyone I know and then Id celebrate with the parentals and go out for dinner
and of course Id go really crazy during the weekend with my friends. Sometime during that time I would then go and order merchandise from the Yale online store. Id also bring my Yale pennant to school and properly affix it to my locker. Id probably wear a lot of navy and white for a while, while proudly proclaiming that Im a YALIE, and that I survived the college application process. Then Id write thank you letters to everyone who wrote me a recommendation, and helped me through the entire process.
Deferred Be secretly excited that I have another chance, but disappointed nevertheless.
Rejected Id cry, and Ill have something I can always use to cry on command
</p>
<p>hmmm, that’s a good question, is there anyone here who won’t tell their friends that they are in, if they get in, so that they dont feel bad?</p>
<p>or conversely, anyone would tell people they are in if they are not??</p>
<p>I don’t know, I think most of my friends will find out earlier than I will, as Columbia has an earlier date. Perhaps Brown, Harvard, Dartmouth do as well. I don’t know, if all my friends and I get into our first choice schools, well then there is going to be a little dance party. I definitely won’t be rubbing it in anyone’s face, but I just might be a little over the top due to my own excitement.</p>
<p>Why would you ever tell anyone that you’re in if you’re not? If I am rejected, when anyone asks about the colleges I applied to, I don’t plan on mentioning Yale. I might end up making the b-line to another Ivy, and keep my fingers crossed if I get an unhappy result on the fated day.</p>
<p>I don’t think I would tell my friends either way. I mean, if I get in, I’m not going to say anything directly. I don’t want to appear as though I’m bragging. If I don’t get in, of course I’m not going to flaunt that. Either way, if someone asks, I’m not going to lie. I’ll just wait until they ask, though, and not volunteer information.</p>
<p>Lately I’ve been having these terribly vivid dreams where I open up my Eli account or whatever and it says something like “We regret to inform you…” </p>
<p>It’s terrible. The only solution is that I stop sleeping entirely until Dec. 15. We’ll see.</p>
<p>My school actually lets out on the 15th for winter break, so I don’t have to face anyone besides my friends if I’m rejected/deferred. </p>
<p>All my friends know that I applied to Yale early, so whether or not I volunteer my decision, they will all ask what happened. There’s a massive beirut party to ring in the winter holidays anyways so basically they’re going to know what happens no matter what. I don’t think I’ll feel bad or like I’m “bragging” telling them if I do get in…I mean come on, they’re my friends, I have nothing to prove to them and they know it.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t hide my good news from my friends, these are my friends after all…but if I got rejected I wouldn’t tell anyone except my closest friends…to other people I would just say “I’m not sharing that info with anyone.”</p>
<p>In case people didn’t see this:

<p>thanks theo, I find it really useful</p>
<p>I think the 15th is a bad date for decisions. For one, my friends who are applying to Harvard and Penn both get their decisions that day too and unless we all get accepted it’s going to suck. Then, if I get rejected I’ll be upset all weekend and going to school might actually take my mind off of it but being home I’ll have all weekend to think about it and wonder whethere I should tell everyone then or avoid them until later. If I get accepted, I’d want to go to school so I could let everyone know.</p>
<p>Also the “4:30” time that I’ve been hearing about is torture.</p>
<p>Really, what time are decisions officially coming out? Is it midnight on the 14th?</p>
<p>probably more like midday the 15th… they want us in suspense</p>
<p>Haha, no problem b4nnd20. It’s on my bookmarks toolbar. :p</p>
<p>Decisions come out at 4:30 PM (Eastern Standard Time) on Friday, December 15.</p>
<p>WHAT? They’re waiting till afternoon? That’s dumb…I’ll still be at school then too. God, my stomach is churning just at the thought of that moment. I wish they could give us some clues or something.</p>
<p>I find out about a national arts scholarship on Dec. 1. Do you think that’s too late to tell Yale about it, in case I win? I have decent chances at winning at least something. How do I go about telling Yale?</p>
<p>I don’t know. I’m still deciding whether I should tell them about some stuff I won yesterday at a tournament. :p</p>
<p>Yeah, I won a tournament recently, but I don’t feel it adds enough to my application to warrant telling them. But if I win the scholarship I will tell them about both things, might as well.</p>
<p>Did everyone get a yale postcard a while ago acknowledging “receipt of the admissions documents neeed to review your application”? It is a bit ambiguous because it also says that they’ll “assume” that score reports are already in, or will be in, if we sent them. Additionally, they’ll contact us or our school if they need “any further information.”</p>
<p>So, does this mean that my application is complete or not?</p>
<p>Don’t know, I didn’t get a postcard…I got a letter, though, and it says “Your application for admission to Yale has been received and your admissions file is now open. We will notify you if any necessary documents are missing.”</p>
<p>I got that too, but I also got the postcard with a tiny bulldog on the back. Anyone else received the postcard also?</p>
<p>i did as well</p>
<p>Crap. Yale didn’t receive my School Report.</p>
