<p>I understand that “Sell me X” is a common expression, but consider the context of the current users. The Yale SCEA-ers received their decisions in less than 2 days, which is more than enough to consider anxiety among many of the CC users in this thread. </p>
<p>Again, while “Sell me X” is a common expression, the usage also implies a tone of entitlement, as if the speaker himself/herself the decider. </p>
<p>Taking the given facts into consideration, there is nothing “appalling” about the community responses, and also similarities of the replies that the OP has received in other subforums, such as the one in MIT, suggests that these “appalling” responses have similar reasoning behind them.</p>
