@thegoldenage how do you know?
They’ll probably still make us wait till 4 or 5 PM EST though.
I am starting to believe that I am getting more frustrated about not seeing any results than if I am rejected 
I have been waiting for this email so long!!!
its just annoying because they emailed someone telling them that it would be emailed by today…
@namelessgiem11 me too!!! I’ve been waiting since March, even when I knew the emails would be out in April!
@namelessgiem11 Totally agree. Especially since YYGS posts results so late it’s really disrupting my ability to finalize summer plans… Anyone else feel this, too?
Hahaha, I know right. My parents may think I have mental issues, they were just like, calm down… It is not April yet,
@Zaidy1 it says so on their website → http://admissions.yale.edu/admissions-office-closings
Hello dear stressed peers,
I’ve been following this thread as I too have applied to YYGS 2015 PLE. Last time I was signed in in this forum I too was very anxious and stressed, but because of something much more significant than getting accepted in a Yale summer school or not.
I applied in three different summer programs for this summer, and I already got accepted in two with full scholarship. YYGS is the third one. I am going to Caribbean Islands with Broadreach for a month as one of their 2015 ambassadors and then I’m going to Wharton’s business summer program for another month or so. Yale it’s going to be my third one if I get accepted in it. So why am I telling you all these stuff?
Surely not for bragging… I don’t get any satisfaction from bragging online (real life: Yes online: Not really).
Why I’m telling you these things it’s so you will pay a bit more attention to the words I will write below.
STOP STRESSING OVER STUPID STUFF !!
You all are supposed to be smart and highly aware citizens of the world, not a bunch of spoiled teenagers. “OMG I’m so stressed I feel like puking” … That’s so sad. If you feel like puking because of a summer program admission process then I can not imagine how you would perform under real life pressure. I don’t want to judge you, but CMON PEOPLE ! With this attitude you won’t get anywhere. I understand when people are stressed, because I feel kind of stressed as well … but not SO FREAKING STRESSED AS Y’ALL ARE!
Chill bros and sistas … it’s not the end of the world. You know, getting in a good college it’s same as getting to date that super hot, smart ultra-all inclusive, ideological girlfriend: if you live to follow her she will call you creepy, or worse friend zone (when students go to ivy summer schools with 80% acceptance rate thinking they have higher chances to get in the actual college hah!) you and you will never have her… but if you succeed in your true passions and are a successful person, the chick will come to you by herself. It’s the same with colleges. They don’t want someone who wants to go to a good college only because the good college will look good ‘on them’- they want someone who will make the college look good … and unless you’re very successful you are not that ‘someone’. I am not trying to discourage you here, but if everyone knew this- not many would freak out about this minor things.
Please, find things that you like and pursue them. Even if you go to a normal college, if you are ambitious and hard working enough, you can become a true leader in the future.
I hate it when I see peers of mine who list their activities and their AP classes like a medical record:
"What are my chances:
- AP BS, AP BS, AP BS and AP BS, all 5.
- I am the founder and leader of BS Club, by which we save the world of the dead.
- I won national competition for BSing.
- I scored 2045 in the BS test.
Am I good enough for going to a Ivy school, so my parents and I can brag about it for the rest of our lifes and also I will fulfill my selfish desire of getting to go to a job with a lot of money?
"
It’s because of these types of students that much of the education industry has become a gold fountain for monopolies such as College Board with their fxking stupid tests such as SAT.
Please, think about what you are doing with your life. If you get in YYGS- good- if not, still good. You’re all teenagers, and fortunately ( huh? ) our world is full of problems. Start solving them this summer if you are free.
Peace and love,
CES.
@thegoldenage true but i think the YYGS admissions office is separate from the official yale one? they still might have the same timings though. Whatever it is, if we don’t get our emails by tomorrow I’m just going to stop waiting (but not really)
What do “Early April” means to you?
Very well written @CogitoErgoSum16
Thanks for the advise @CogitoErgoSum16
I have been following this thread since it started as well.
Congratulations about the programs acceptance and the scholarships.
I was all stressed out (Even more than now) and the reason is that I really care about being there, it is something very important for me, and maybe that is the reason of why almost everyone in here is so anxious and excited too about the results. I believe that all the users in this thread are smart and this is just a space where they get to express what they feel.
Anyways, you have a point.
Regardless of the results, go an improve ths world because there are no limits 
I don’t want to go to YYGS because I think it’ll help me get into a good school (you’re right, attending summer programs does not necessarily assist with college admission selections), I want to go because of the experience. I think assuming that the rest of us don’t already have other summer plans lined up is unfair, because I’d say a good chunk of us do (my apologies if I misunderstood you). I, for example, have obtained an internship with a non-profit organization that I am really passionate about, so yes, I will be doing my part to make the world a better place. But that’s besides the point. I think it’s normal for humans to experience stress and anxiety over such circumstances as this, and that doesn’t necessarily mean I can’t do other things simultaneously (as I have). However, you are more than right in that there is a balance between being nervous and just taking it over the top.
I’m sure you didn’t mean to be cold; I do in fact agree with the majority of what you mentioned. Congratulations on your acceptance to the other two programs and get on out there and make the world a better place for us all.
Honestly I’m not even that worried I just wish they wouldn’t make us wait so long
@cogitoergosum16 It’s very presumptuous of you to think that we’re all doing this for its name or because we’re “spoiled teenagers”. It’s not wrong to be excited to go somewhere, and feeling anxious about whether or not you’ll be able to. I get that you’re trying to tell us to calm down or whatever, but I’d rather be enthusiastic and passionate about what i want to do than be passive and indifferent.
For me, personally, I live in a country with very limited options to do anything over the summer, and it is exciting for me to think about spending ONE summer doing something abroad or actually visiting different places rather than just being stuck in my hometown again. I get that there’s an Ivy ‘brand’ and that’s the only thing some people care about, but the MAJORITY of people who apply are well-rounded, talented students who see something in a university that they want and think will help them succeed.
And I think we’d all hold up pretty well under “real life pressure”, since we’re even applying to this thing, I’d assume we’re all pretty stellar students. Again, I get that you’re trying to say that it isn’t as big a deal as we’re making it out to be, but again: There’s nothing wrong with being enthusiastic to do something. I’m sure after all this is over anybody who got rejected will get over it, after all, you’re right, it’s just a summer program. But for now, we wait. And I’m not going to apologize for how I’m waiting.
Hey guys, just joined. I applied to YYGS 2015 and I think that I did okay with my application except for the PSAT score. I did really bad (compared to you guys) and now I’m regretting submitting my scores… I think I got like 165, I know that’s bad but I have a decent GPA so I tried, but now I’m really starting to regret it. How much of an effect do you think that the scores will have? If it is significant, was it better not to submit it?
Thanks 
@CogitoErgoSum16 lol dude there was seriously no point in talking about all the things you’ve been accepted to. congrats but there was no need for that info or the post in general
@IvyMaybe hmmm… I think you’ll be alright if your GPA is good enough that they can see your PSAT score was just an anomaly. Having good essays will help too.
@CogitoErgoSum16 congrats on your other camps. I don’t see a reason why we can’t freak out a little over YYGS, especially if it’s something we care about. After all, we’re all human and it’s not like worrying about this will in any way prevent us from changing the told. Also agree with @YaleGirll that your tone is quite a bit less than diplomatic… Harsh criticism isn’t a successful method of convincing others to do anything… I would know, I’ve tried it
