We can only hope.
@mjstewart1224 There is enough space for all of us goblins on this thread, no worries :)) >:)
@freenfly I agree. It’s all speculations at this point. We should just keep calm.
Please stop. There is one hour left. Your decision is not going to be changed because of what happened with the portal. Just be patient. We will all know sooo soon
Hahaha now officially prepared for rejection. Got the ‘admitted students only,’ even if it’s a deferral, it was definitely not an acceptance. Best of luck guys, you all are brilliant. May or may not have told a few people I was already rejected… Seems better to do it before I really know and am all emotional.
Luckily I received a LL today from a great state school so there is some relief… Albeit very little 
This wait is excruciating! Trying not to be nervous for my son. Yale is his #1 choice. I am not showing him my nerves as he is nervous enough. Good luck to all!
1 hr to go!!!
What time in the evening do you think decisions will be posted on the portal?
In a bid to kind of divert our focus here (difficult but not impossible), what other schools are you guys applying to?
@HopefulYaleMom They’re usually posted at 5 PM EST
@niflheim000 Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Cornell, Stanford, NYU, and USC. Possibly a few more.
Thank you @aposnova ! My son applied to Yale and his backups are Dartmouth, Boston U, Fordham, Seton Hall (already accepted, even though it was not ED) and Princeton. We are from the Hudson Valley NY…where are you all from?
Penn State (Got in), Northeastern, West Virginia, and a few others. Probably done with Ivy applications after this denial lol
Wow I am so glad I came on the thread after the craziness with that link. I’ve been mentally preparing for 5PM, not anything earlier. Best of luck to you all at 5. May we all be blessed with what is BEST for us. I don’t know if you guys have faith in a higher power or anything but I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and in the long run for the best for you. So don’t hate anything that happens against what you want. Remember we are shortsighted beings. We only see as far as our noses. We don’t know what’s down the path. Whatever the decision, you’re going to be amazing people. Simple.
@strideforward You are 100% right! Let’s all try to keep this in mind
45 MORE MINUTES! We are so close!
What are your prospective majors?? Like many high school students, I am still not sure (which is perfectly okay) but I really enjoy French so that’s my plan for now 
I will say to you all what I told my son: What is meant to be will be. You are all wonderful kids with bright futures!
@MLGClubPenguin I really want to study sociocultural Anthropology 
@HopefulYaleMom exactly what my father tells me. We should all remember that.
