<p>This might sound crazy… but I would choose no financial aid at Yale over anything else.</p>
<p>I would probably have to sell my kidney, donate blood once a week, and become a chipndales dancer… but it would be well worth it.</p>
<p>easy for you to say, but remember it’s your parents (guardians) who will really have to deal with it. even if you do a workstudy.</p>
<p>Dang it; I hate being the last post on a page, because then nobody ever sees it :(</p>
<p>Anyway, I got into Vanderbilt today :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A-effing-men.</p>
<p>congrats hookem!</p>
<p>i got into UChicago, so if not Yale or Stanford–then I’ll be more than happy to attend Chicago.</p>
<p>@hookem: congrats on vandy! and I totally agree with the last post on a page comment… haha.</p>
<p>@ grp, your “A-effing-men” comment reminded me of a slightly hilarious anecdote…</p>
<p>On Thursday, when I got my Duke decision, I posted “Xxxx ‘GOT INTO EFFING DUKE!!!’” as my Facebook status. Turns out, my mom (who forced me to facebook friend her) checked my facebook status later that night (well after I had already jubilantly informed them of my acceptance). So, despite the fact that I got into the school that is tied for 8th best in the country…my parents almost grounded me for publicly portraying myself as an “ignorant, uneducated, crude, cursing juvenile.”</p>
<p>I didn’t even use the actual word.</p>
<p>■■■ (too bad it’s too long for the actual site) haha</p>
<p>congrats! and lol at above.</p>
<p>Yikes…this Tuesday…</p>
<p>haha my mom forced me to friend her on facebook.
so i totally understand :)</p>
<p>^ I’m glad my parents aren’t that protective.</p>
<p>Then again, I’m the kid that stayed at home and invited friends over to do…Calc…when his parents were away for a week.</p>
<p>Also; bwah?

<p>ouch for having to friend your mom on facebook-my mom doesn’t have one and there’s no way in hell i’d friend her is she did. what did she threaten to do if you didn’t friend her?</p>
<p>^ Take my phone and my car keys.</p>
<p>AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no2EULA. You have no idea how hard I laughed at your post. You invited friends to do CALC? </p>
<p>Congrats Hookem! Getting into schools eases the tensions for Tuesday a bit, no? So far I have an unbroken chain of acceptances…oh wait…except Yale. </p>
<p><em>goes to sit in the gloomy “Yale SCEA Deferrees” corner</em>
<em>angst</em></p>
<p>^ Same! Well…a waitlist from WashU, but that was like 2 weeks ago and no one likes them anyway. In retrospect, I suppose they were smart if they waitlisted me because they thought I would turn them down…because I eventually got into Duke and Vandy haha</p>
<p>Heh I’m glad my parents aren’t on Facebook.</p>
<p>Yup. </p>
<p>We had a “calc party”. Which is impressive, as those kids typically have “beer/weed” parties.</p>
<p>I whipped’em into Mathematical shape.</p>
<p>1337 POST!!!</p>
<p>ok carry on.</p>
<p><em>tips hat to goldenratiophi</em></p>

<p>Yaaaaaaaaaaay MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!</p>
<p>hear, hear :)</p>
<p>What will happen to this thread after decisions? I think I will really miss it ;-)</p>
