So this wave will last for three days from Wed to Fri?

Is the correct way of reading the sentence 'We're// channeling our inner-Kojak// for the rest of the week" or "We're channeling// our inner-Kojak for the rest of the week"?

Does it make me an idiot that I don't see a difference in meaning?

My fault, did not specify it clearly enough.

Interpretation 1:
We are making admissions phone calls for the rest of the week (i.e. wed - fri)

Interpretation 2:
we are (currently) making admission phone calls that are allocated for the rest of the week, (and you should not expect more, since the allocated phone calls will all be made today).

The former imho.

[JD1776]

Don't forget, they've been known to make calls on the weekends too.

Ah yeah I assumed the former as well. They probably don't want to tweet every time they are making one or two calls...

[chizzy]

Checking in
submitted my app yesterday.
Goodluck to everyone.
hope to join you all in the fall.

EDIT: just realized this was my 180th post.

All for you Yale.

[drawstring]

I imagine that the next time Yale contacts me it will be with a rejection letter, but a guy can dream!

im sure the people that got admitted had no clue they had a shot. all we can do is try to be positive!

[kershka]

lol, who in this thread has actually applied...?

(not me)

People have already applied to Yale?

Someday, I will write a passable 250 and will apply. Someday...

[ejan1621]

All this talk about good 250s gets me nervous. I wrote about the football team I'm obsessed with. I just remember some dude posting one about his abnormally large-sized head and I thought it was so great that I went the casual route like he did.

I also really disliked that one that was posted here awhile ago - thought it made no sense - so now I'm worried I totally screwed up this 250 thing! Not like that will make or break my app anyway (i.e. they laughed at my GPA).
