<p>amnesia, pass the guinness here.</p>
<p>what can I say? i love spending a little time with a hip flask and my good ol boys. haha. just kidding.</p>
<p>or am i???</p>
<p>you guys are weird.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea how many students were admitted from Indiana last year? Any Facebook numbers or anything? I’m panicking…</p>
<p>i am a yalie by heart.</p>
<p>i told you, we’re all gonna get drunk together. just like george w did with howard dean</p>
<p>bobobobob you’re SO right. </p>
<p>about this intraschool competition thing- i don’t really believe it. even though you’re presented on the same slab, i truly don’t think it matters in the end.</p>
<p>we can hit up toads once we get there</p>
<p>allright…</p>
<p>the problem with intraschool competition is that although say…4 of the 6 (in my case) or 13 of the 13 applicants are qualified, you know that you all cant get in. I believe that if I was the only kid, that I would have a greater chance…but that being said, being a kid on long island, or new york in general, is 5 million times worse than intraschool competition</p>
<p>Last year there were five kids (count 'em: FIVE!) that got into Yale from our rival school. Not a single one from ours. It’s totally our turn.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if colleges will increase the amount of kids accepted the next year if the previous year was poor?</p>
<p>because our school had a HORRIBLE year with the ivies last year so Im hoping that they want to make up for that.</p>
<p>just wishful thinking.</p>
<p>Hmmm…our school had an unusually good ivy/Stanford/MIT acceptance rate last year.</p>
<p>…crap.</p>
<p>I’m wishing with you.</p>
<p>Yale started this ambassador program to schools that have high standardized test scores but usually don’t send a lot of kids to Yale. My school was one of them. So hopefully that means they want some more kids from our school, and I’m the only one who applied EA, so…</p>
<p>::shrugs::</p>
<p>same w/ chinchilla. Our school had a REALLY good year w/ Yale last year, sending 4 kids, and accepting 5. I hope that doesn’t spell doom for us this year…</p>
<p>Whoa. You guys must go to really good schools. Our school has never had more than, I think, one person get accepted to Yale in a year. Usually we don’t have any. :(</p>
<p>Last year we had a 100% admission rate for Yale.</p>
<p>The only guy who applied got in. He was a legacy, MAD talented at music (like all-state + awards in two different instruments), and took math and physics at Princeton University his senior year because he exhausted the other courses in those fields at my school.</p>
<p>oh man could you imagine, taking classes at an ivy before even getting into college.</p>
<p>he probably got in everywhere.</p>
<p>My school’s only had 2 yalies in last 5 years.</p>
<p>He had to decide between Harvard and Yale. His dad wanted him to go to Yale because it was his alma mater, but his mom wanted him to go to Harvard to balance something out or whatever? The guy’s father told me the story at our school’s college fair. He was really nice, but he wouldn’t stop talking about his son…</p>
<p>Two of my friends with the same name (Jeff) went to Yale two years ago. Plus the new head of admissions’s name is Jeff. And so on and so forth. Thus, Jeff is the new cool name.</p>
<p>just wait, in a few years “Vikram” will be so cool that non-indian parents will choose to name their kids that.</p>
