What did YOU do with your deferral/rejection letter?

Colleges & Universities Yale University

<p>^I know, I was just thinking that xD</p>

<p>@Pastel, yes, send in the post-deferral letter. Many college counselors recommend it. Last year, a girl here was deferred from Wharton, sent in a deferral letter telling them it was still her dream school and got in RD (not saying the letter was the cause, but just that it doesn’t hurt).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I just signed up and filled out the about me section and it asks for gender, I wish it would show up under the location section in the little info box to the left of this.</p>

<p>I also think it’s funny that one of the options for gender is “unsure”.</p>

104

<p>

me too!</p>

<p>And I swear, on the supplements for one of my college apps, in the section where it asks for gender, one of the options was “unsure.” I can’t remember which one it was for, though…princeton? idk. I just remember that it made me laugh. a lot.</p>

105

<p>

</p>

<p>Not when it helps you get into Princeton. Or Harvard. Or Yale. </p>

<p>I think I was browsing the RD Decision threads on one of HYP’s boards, and somebody got accepted when he/she wrote about how he/she was unsure of gender in the essay, and that really stood out or something? I think they also put “to be decided” on the Gender bullet. </p>

<p>Yeah, kinda weird but ya gotta admit, it really is for some people I guess.</p>

106

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s nicely phrased. I think someday I’m going to borrow your words to post on this other thread that I came across this afternoon:</p>

<p>by the way, Stupefy, your screen name is epic.</p>

107

<p>My bad Stupefy. I know you’re a girl.</p>

108

<p>S’okay, Christian.</p>

<p>

Haha why thank you. I have receieved numerous compliments about it :smiley: just goes to show you how popular HP is.</p>

109

<p>Aha! I got my gender to show up!</p>

110

<p>Sac Valley? Me too. Whereabouts in Sac Valley?</p>

111

<p>Chico. You?</p>

112

<p>Elk Grove.</p>

113

<p>two questions</p>

<p>1-Did anyone else do women’s colleges on this board?
2-Would it be nuts to send a deferral letter of “thanks, but if you didn’t want me in EA, I don’t want you in RD” I mean…it’s completely true. I would never have attended regardless-it was just my reach school and a deferral made me happpy enough.</p>

114

<p>rocket6louise - I imagine that a lot of people do that, but I would recommend not doing it. I mean, you never know what you’re going to think in April. Or for graduate school.</p>

115

<p>no…i’m pretty sure I want nothing to do with yale.</p>

116

<p>^When you get your acceptance letter in April, you may not think the same anymore.</p>

117

<p>Still, though, be classy :slight_smile: Trust me, when Stanford rejected me, I was trying to cause global warming so that it would go underwater. But then I rethought it and decided that I wanted to maintain my professionalism.</p>

118

<p>Stanford has to send out a lot of rejection letters to you in order for you to burn enough of those to cause global warming.</p>

119

<p>They didn’t even send me one. You have to request them to send you one. And I was like, “No thank you.”</p>

<p>So I was just going to go buy a factory. Thank God I’ve moved passed that stage.</p>

120

<p>Still, factories are boring. Burning rejection letters is way cooler.</p>
