<p>dalipaints, did you get an email today? and when did you send in your updates?</p>
<p>I didn’t know we could send updates after we submitted our application… how were we supposed to do that?</p>
<p>^ You could have faxed or emailed them in. Apparently they didn’t get mine in time though… agghghgghaghghaghagh</p>
<p>^Did you email or fax them your letter?</p>
<p>I rubbed the foot of the statue at Yale… that’s good luck right? I did not at Harvard since I heard kids pee on it haha. (I saw a tour guide rub the foot at Yale so I thought it would be safe lol)</p>
<p>wait, you couldn’t mail them an update in a letter?!? ughghghggh</p>
<p>^ Hah! Wrong! Kids DO pee on the Yale statue. Asked my tour guide that (and personally did the favor…). </p>
<p>That last part was a joke.</p>
<p>wait, you couldn’t mail them an update in a letter?!? ughghghggh</p>
<p>sent it by fax monday morning around 3am (because of time difference) and received an answer soon after, but I still think it was too late…</p>
<p>did anyone else recently check their yale decisions site and see an error message? with the name of the site being “dean’s letter”?
it was like that for about an hour and now its back to saying “the decision will be posted on the 15th at 5pm” etc etc</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I saw that. Didn’t think anything of it though.</p>
<p>How do you know whether they got our updates in time?</p>
<p>nooo, my didn’t say that ^^, my is the same as it’s always been</p>
<p>comrades, our lives are about to change in 22 hours and 40 mins</p>
<p>Scary thought, ain’t it, Mao?</p>
<p>An acceptance or a rejection will change my life yes. A deferral really wouldn’t change anything though… It would be so anticlimactic.</p>
<p>(It would still be so much better than a rejection, of course. )</p>
<p>I think I’m just going to watch a bunch of movies tomorrow to kill the time until 5pm. Hopefully I’ll wake up around 3pm like I usually do (don’t judge me), but I know the excitement will wake me up early.</p>
<p>I just looked through the 2014 SCEA results for like the 10th time. My stats were atrocious compared to even the people who were deferred. So… I’m not expecting anything much I guess.</p>
<p>Now that my decision is actually coming out tomorrow, I’m not sure if I actually want to check it at 5 PM…</p>
<p>Over the last several weeks, I’ve tried to keep Yale out of my mindas much as one can when regularly posting on the Yale board of College Confidential, that is. </p>
<p>But it’s not much longer until SCEA decisions are released, so I offer my final wish of good luck to all of the applicants. From what I’ve gathered, many of you embody the promise of the best that the next generation has to offer: i.e., intelligence exploited by drive. Many of you will be deferred or rejected tomorrow, however; such is inevitable. If that happens to you, I urge you to maintain perspective on it by bearing in mind that quite a few applicants who are rejected from Yale go on to be successful during RD admissions and that even those who don’t do well in college admissions go on to be successful in many other ways. </p>
<p>Yet such solace need not be the spirit of the moment: for now we can be in anxious wait for our decisions tomorrow, toward which all of us have worked very hard. Best of luck.</p>
