<p>ahhhh yes. We watched the whole Ivy Dreams vid in health class back in 10th grade lol. I didn’t appreciate it as much back then.</p>
<p>I feel bad for the kids whose parents were like vultures. I’ve always had to push myself to do well. My parents are there to back me up, but I don’t do well because they force me to.</p>
<p>But I’m glad two of those people got into Yale and Dartmouth. I watched all of that last night.</p>
<p>^Mhm, the parents fit the asian stereotype so well. It’d be tough to be one of those kids in the vid. I cannot pity the boy, though, he didn’t even know he needed subject tests for Columbia!</p>
<p>^
I kind of laughed. Why was he applying to Columbia with a 1400/2400 SAT, anyway?</p>
<p>I personally find the Asian stereotype very annoying. I wish people would remember it’s just that- a stereotype!</p>
<p>On a nicer note- I want to see that video!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m sorry if my words were blunt, I wasn’t trying to offend anyone. I just found it funny that the producers of an “Ivy Dreams” video intentionally picked 4 asian applicants with very strict parents.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. No offense taken. Potential future Yalies after all. :)</p>
<p>Reposting this question because I need an answer D:</p>
<p>On the application website, it says that updates should be faxed. I didn’t know this and I already emailed a letter to <a href=“mailto:apply.questions@yale.edu”>apply.questions@yale.edu</a> - would it be a bad idea to fax the letter as well? Just in case the letter gets buried at the very bottom of their email when they return from Thanksgiving on Monday?</p>
<p>It couldn’t hurt, fgsfds.</p>
<p>Wait, so what do we do if we need to let them know something else?</p>
<p>Not a traitor, man! Just a realist. I haven’t visited Yale (or many other schools) yet, and I probably won’t get to unless I get admitted and go to Bulldog Days, so it wouldn’t be smart for me to accept the offer without visiting it or other places. But I know there are certain schools that I definitely won’t turn down Yale for, so I won’t apply to them if I get in early.</p>
<p>If I received Best Speaker at a recent Model UN conference, is that an update worth faxing to Yale? I applied early but have yet to get an interview. I’m not sure if this recognition would do me any favors.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>The TV documentary was broadcast on “AZN Television” ([AZN</a> Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZN_Television]AZN”>AZN Television - Wikipedia)) and both the director and writer are Chinese - so I’m not quite sure how you would find it ‘funny’. I personally found it fitting.</p>
<p>You can read an interview with Joy Huang, the writer, here: [MOSAEC</a> Television - Ivy Dreams (Joy Huang)](<a href=“http://www.mosaec.com/mosaec/television/tv_ivydreamsinterview.htm]MOSAEC”>http://www.mosaec.com/mosaec/television/tv_ivydreamsinterview.htm)</p>
<p>I miss AZN Television. I was addicted to that channel. I never got around to watching the Ivy Dreams show though.</p>
<p>I think I’m going to pass on watching the singing bulldog ahead of time. Too much of a spoiler, and not seeing it with my decision would make deferral/rejection that much more painful.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow, smart decision. Too late for me though… I’ve already watched it three times. I couldn’t resist ):</p>
<p>I’m gonna pass too. Though watching it after getting rejected is just being sadistic. So it’s probably better to watch it now. :)</p>
<p>I felt the same way too. I watched it this afternoon after seeing it on this thread and was planning on skipping it all along, but it surprised me and I accidentally watched it 
It will still make me very happy if I end up seeing it. Just imagining seeing it is kinda a tease now though. :P</p>
<p>Ugh, kaira07 you make me want to watch it real bad beforehand now. Just to have the opportunity to see what it looks like…</p>
<p>The way I see it, If I see blue I’ll know it’s good news. If not, I won’t have to wait those extra few seconds reading about the rejection/deferral. It’s all about trying to cut down the wait 'til decisions!</p>
<p>^^Haha sorry Madshock. 
Let’s not see it at all, unless it’s on December 15th. (Or maybe April 1st, though that would be a lot worse. )</p>
