<p>All I know is whatever happens happens, we should all feel accomplished for even applying, we have some courage at least, and Yale is privileged to even get to know us. No matter what our decisions are, we’re at least going to college, somewhere. Stay strong</p>

[nolagirl]

<p>That was nice to say. Honestly, though, it’s just so hard to believe that right now.</p>

[happysunnyshine]

<p>I am glad that my safety is one of the top schools in the country with professors with PhDs from Stanford, CalTech, etc. It’s nice to be international. :)</p>

[kidfromvirginia]

<p>^Not to be nosy, but what’s your safety? Just curious. :P</p>

[saturnne]

<p>drjotengii, well said! It makes me feel a little better.</p>

[ccuser18]

<p>

What type of admit does CC usually have? (From the pledge thread?) How many of us are going to get in come December 15?

</p>

<p>I can’t find the link, but Silverturtle did a nice study based on race. I focus less on the race part, and more on the admit rate by standardized test scores. If anyone knows the link, it’s very fun/interesting to read.</p>

[nolagirl]

<p>There are definitely a lot more CC EA applicants…if anyone cares to look and sweep them up on the other threads. I would myself but I have so much homework to do. AARGH.</p>

<p>Yale, Yale, take me now, please!!! :(</p>

[silverturtle]

I can’t find the link, but Silverturtle did a nice study based on race. I focus less on the race part, and more on the admit rate by standardized test scores. If anyone knows the link, it’s very fun/interesting to read.

<p>Here you go: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/651345-race-college-admissions-faq-discussion-3-a-49.html#post1062655144[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/651345-race-college-admissions-faq-discussion-3-a-49.html#post1062655144&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I hadn’t looked at it in a while; thanks for mentioning it. (It’s hard to imagine that it’s been a year and a half since I did that!)</p>

[silverturtle]

<p>This may be interesting to some as well: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/723173-helpful-thread-those-contemplating-scea.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/723173-helpful-thread-those-contemplating-scea.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

[Owlehn]

<p>silverturtle, do you have any idea how students who submitted their ACT faired? I received a 34, have a 4.0GPA, and am white. I know 34ACT roughly comes out to 2290SAT, but I just want to check with you.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

[silverturtle]

<p>^ I merely converted the ACT scores to the SAT equivalent, so I’m not sure. I didn’t pick up on any evaluative differences at the time, though; nor have I seen anything since then to indicate that the SAT is preferred.</p>

[Spazzy]

<p>Wow, that’s very interesting data, silverturtle. Kudos to you for taking the time to put it all together!</p>

[Owlehn]

<p>Dang. If you converted, that means I have a low chance of getting accepted based on my scores… (34 ACT goes to 2260 SAT btw).</p>

<p>Three 2260s got deferred–none accepted. Though three 2340s (aka 35 ACT) were accepted. Hmm…</p>

<p>I hope it’s possible for me to get accepted. D:</p>

[Owlehn]

<p>Woot! 81!
Dang, decision day should be intense.</p>

[ccuser18]

<p>There a few more hooks than I would’ve liked to see, lol.</p>

[Madshock]

<p>I agree, considering cc’s acceptance rate from the 2014 Yale Pledge…
On that note, also a few too many likely letters…
No worries Owlehn, I have the same stats haha, except half Indian along with White. We’ll hopefully both stand out!</p>
