<p>After looking at some of the recent results threads, I honestly can’t see a difference between those who were deferred and those who were accepted. It’s crazy how fine the line is that separates the two.</p>
<p>It’s hard to understand why a particular person got accepted when you don’t know what the essays were like, what the letters of recommendation were like, and whether the applicant brought something in particular to the community.</p>

<p>So when do Yale decisions come out?</p>

<p>Hey everyone! I’m a SCEA applicant from a rural town in Michigan. I’m curious to find out more about the people also considering Yale as a top choice. Any other small town people here? I am the first person in my community ever to apply to an Ivy League school…in fact, last year’s senior class only went of total of five different colleges, all in Michigan! I’ve never met someone who’s applying to Yale (except people on the tour when I visited over the summer, but that doesn’t really count). </p>
<p>I just hope that they give me a straight out answer - yes or no, don’t defer me! I have other options - I’m being recruited to run XC for Michigan State, and they were national champs this year. It’s going to be hard enough deciding as is, let alone if Yale is only a maybe! Anyone know when the decision comes if you do get deferred? If it’s April 1 - that is so far away!</p>
<p>@momfromme Yale has confirmed that they will come out next week Tuesday.</p>

<p>I keep reviewing the PDF copy of my application, and each time I’m more disappointed in what I wrote and how I presented myself. I’ve fully convinced myself to anticipate flat rejection. Am I the only one?</p>
<p>hey, I’m an applicant from Louisiana. I have been prowling the past Yale SCEA threads, and the one from 2004 said that 20 applied from my state. However, the stats from 2014 show only 2 getting in. What are my chances, as a National Achievement Semifinalist, State Quizbowl Champion, 2230 SAT superscore, 770 Math 2 730 Bio M, 4.34 w gpa, not to mention All-State Choir and several national french awards? I am a Ugandan-American, so I guess that makes me an URM as well.</p>
<p>Can you believe how many harvard students were accepted early action? 900+! That’s the highest rate yet!</p>
<p>@gentoo I’m applying from Texas, too!
I’m from the Dallas-Metroplex area, myself. I haven’t met anybody else from my school applying to Yale, or from Texas for that matter. But of course I have a limited sphere. Where are you from?</p>
<p>Ugh, I just don’t wanna think about it tbh. I’m pretty sure I won’t get in, and dwelling on it is depressing me in advance :D</p>
<p>I’m reading through the Harvard thread and I’m seeing all the amazing applicants that got deferred… It’s terrifying…</p>
<p>@AggravatedTeddy I’m from San Antonio in the northeast area</p>
<p>I’m applying from Canada - any other internationals out there?</p>
<p>I’m honestly trying to remain calm about Tuesday. My stats are good but my SAT 2’s aren’t so hot (Two 600-somethings). I’m really just hoping for the best and expecting the worst at this point. I’m also devoting tomorrow(I have a half day) to writing even more essays. With all that being said I hope (but I know it’s a long shot) that we all get in on Tuesday.

<p>Hey guys! I know we’re pretty much all having anxiety attacks and huge moodswings for the past few days, but remember that getting into Yale isn’t the life accomplishment that we’re supposed to have in our lives. Nobody, when we’re in our middle ages, will say “The one thing I regret in my life is that I didn’t end up going to Yale.” It just doesn’t happens. So right now, I know, for myself at least, I think about how impatient I am and I sometimes have to look out and see the big picture. So what if we get rejected or deferred? It’s just going to make you stronger. Sometimes life just has different plans for you, and you’ll have an amazing experience at whichever school you end up going to :)</p>
<p>BTW when all of this ends, whether I get in or not, remember we have freaking WINTER BREAK TO RELAXX </p>
<p>For me, I’m going to finish the last few essays, read Ulysses, hang out with friends (One of my friends got into Harvard durr I’m stupid), and spend time with family! What about you guys?</p>
<p>I really agree with your statement, @luxetveritas9; I have been constantly reminding myself that college is a means and not an end. While I love the prospect of attending Yale, I know that I could still have the time of my life and become successful – by whatever metric I choose – at a myriad of other schools.</p>
<p>In spite of this, I’m still becoming anxious and growing impatient waiting for Tuesday. I have a feeling this weekend will seem artificially long.</p>
