<p>NERVOUS AS ALL HEELLLL. I’m 99% sure that I’ll be deferred and possibly rejected but there’s that inextinguishable spark of hope in me that I can’t manage to squash… How are you guys dealing with the wait and also the reality that you probably won’t be admitted? </p>
<p>@chocolatepanacea Same feeling in me. I am reading tons of thing on wikipedia, reading some history discussions, watching some interviews. I want to get admitted, but I realise the truth and my “unlucky” experiences and many fails prepared me for something.</p>
<p>@Eljui7 Yes, I do think that thought processes can influence the decisions. I have no proof of course but it’s just my little theory :)</p>
<p>@ronandearth So if you believe in it, what and how you are going to think? 
Please guys chance me <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1615900-harvard-yale-princeton-and-duke-chances-thank-you-will-chance-you-too.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1615900-harvard-yale-princeton-and-duke-chances-thank-you-will-chance-you-too.html#latest</a></p>
<p>just don’t stress out, people. it’s tough but trust me it’s all in your head. i’m more than ready to get rejected/deferred. </p>
<p>hitting the gym is definitely a great way to get that anticipation poured into a worthwhile pursuit. hit 225x10 bench on monday</p>
<p>hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. </p>
<p>@billymay Excellent advice, of course. Whether or not I can follow it is completely different, though haha! After all, it takes a little bit of irrationality to apply to Yale in the first place. </p>
<p>@Eljui7 I had a 34 on my ACT. I saw your stats on the page you shared. While SAT scores are a factor Yale considers your story and why you do the stuff that you do (at least thats what the guy interviewing me told me) and I think that if your SAT scores are something Yale can look past youve got as good a shot as anyone.</p>
<p>@AnnaLuxe I know how you feel. I finished all seven seasons in 3 weeks.</p>
<p>@chocolatepanacea - That should be a quote.</p>
<p>“After all, it takes a little bit of irrationality to apply to the Ivy league.” - chocolate</p>
<p>So beautiful. :’)</p>
<p>@Eljui7 I’ve been thinking optimistically for the most part. I know that not everyone is going to get in and that if I don’t then it wasn’t meant for me. I’ve considered how I would react in both situations: (1) me being rejected and a little saddened, and (2) me being accepted and having the best day of my life 
You just have to hope for the best</p>
<p>@Dannnn Thank you, kind sir
Also, if anyone couldn’t guess from my username, I am filling the emotional void of uncertainty with chocolate for the next week! </p>
<p>Wait so just to make sure, on the 16th, we have to go to ELI to see our admissions decisions right? Yale won’t send out an email?</p>
<p>@chocolatepanacea just watch out for dat dere acne!</p>
<p>@thenarwhalking from my experience, you will not receive an email, or at least not immediately. The decisions will be released on Dec. 16th at 5pm IIRC</p>
<p>Hey all. I’m so nervous right now. Anyone else here from Connecticut? Also, how can I check with the admissions office to see if my supplemental recs are in? </p>
<p>Yale does not send out an e-mail. You have to go to your Eli account and click the link at the appointed hour. Harvard does it via e-mail. A couple of days later you will get the traditional letter in the mail - the acceptance letter is suitable for framing.</p>
<p>HeLL. LIFE AND FORTUNE LET ME GET IN!!!</p>
<p>I have been going to it SO MUCH!!! I need to GET IN!!!</p>
<p>Any of y’all applying from Texas?</p>
<p>I’m applying from Colorado. I’ve been to Texas once in my life, and I couldn’t stand it 
Too humid, too hot, and FAR too many guns, haha</p>
<p>I MUST GET IN!</p>
<p>@Eljui7 I’m sure you’ll get in.</p>
