While I didnt apply to yale, I am looking forward to this feeling when SLS finally gives me a decision. Its been a long haul.az21833 wrote:Morning all.
waiters - the suspense is killer but hang in there! i find it doubtful that they would be making you wait THIS long just to turn away. i think good news is in store
to all those turned away yesterday - congrats on cycle coming to a close. I feel SO much better now that this process is over, it really brought out a lot of anxiety and now i can get back to living life and being myself, which feels amazing. I have to admit i was pretty bummed last night, thought there still might be a way but after a good nights sleep i woke up feeling refreshed, reborn and insanely excited about my options. WE MADE IT!!
I am with you bulldog. Nothing yet.HopefulBulldog wrote:Kthoma, spill, please do update when you hear! Getting anxious.
Will do. Although its starting to feel like we're waiting for Godot at this pointHopefulBulldog wrote:Kthoma, spill, please do update when you hear! Getting anxious.
On the off chance it works out for any of us, pretty bummed that their ASW is happening right now...spillman wrote:Will do. Although its starting to feel like we're waiting for Godot at this pointHopefulBulldog wrote:Kthoma, spill, please do update when you hear! Getting anxious.
oh. well from this thread I guess it's a WL, not a dingvolp wrote:ding ding ding last night by email
Thought - do you think they'll even do any decisions in the next two days, or do you figure they've dropped everything to focus on the admit days?volp wrote:oh. well from this thread I guess it's a WL, not a dingvolp wrote:ding ding ding last night by email
Hopeful I think you could probably send a very nice email and be justified. "I saw your twitter feed, but didn't receive a decision so I wanted to confirm that my app was indeed active. Im in no way trying to rush you etc etc"HopefulBulldog wrote:Thought - do you think they'll even do any decisions in the next two days, or do you figure they've dropped everything to focus on the admit days?volp wrote:oh. well from this thread I guess it's a WL, not a dingvolp wrote:ding ding ding last night by email
yeah dont think theres a significant cultural difference between YLS and HLS. HLS is a lot bigger so there is some increased diversity there, but a quick glance through the FB group still shows that ivies and other top 20 schools (which includes a number of large public schools) are the vast majorityRedShift wrote:I'm also from a large public school and I've had the exact same thoughts about Yale.

I have the check made out to HLS, but I haven't quite sealed the envelope yet...
A big factor for me is the fact that I think my large public school was held against me. I don't know how well I'd fit in with 200 people from Ivies, and I don't know how warm I feel about the fact that I am probably seen as bottom of the class potential.
I'm waiting until after Harvard's ASW to make a decision, but this is what I'm thinking.
Good luck to y'all. It has been an interesting cycle, and I'm glad I got to know you guys through the process. Have fun wherever you end up
I know HLS is going to have a huge number too, but it never seemed to me to be at the exclusion of others. HLS didn't make me feel like I was having to fight to prove myself despite my credentials just because they weren't name brand, but YLS definitely gives me that vibe.RedShift wrote: I'm also from a large public school and I've had the exact same thoughts about Yale.

FWIW, the only 2 people i know who currently attend YLS are from large public schools. they do exist there, even if not in the hugest of numbers :pRedShift wrote:I'm also from a large public school and I've had the exact same thoughts about Yale.
