Sorry that I'm late to the Yale c/o 2017 thread! I would be eternally grateful if someone could shed some light on my situation: I applied back in December and haven't heard a peep. Am I doomed to receive a ding / WL or do I still have a shot at an accept through FR?

I think there are a number of us in a similar boat. I don't think there's a way to know what it means. My guess is that it at least means you weren't an auto-ding!pokemonsters wrote:Sorry that I'm late to the Yale c/o 2017 thread!

Yesterday I unsuccessfully attempted to hit on a girl, and today I found myself absentmindedly texting a friend that "I got dinged by that redhead that I told you about the other day." Does anyone know how TLS ended up using the term "ding" to mean rejection? I mean, I understand things like "180" and "TCR" to be terminology adopted from LSAT prep, but where did "ding" come from?
Also, pokemonsters has the best avatar ever. Never change it, pokemonsters!
I think it originated from game shows and contests (like spelling bees) where the host would hit a bell and "ding" someone when they were disqualified.

It's pretty common in MMOs when people level up. It was pretty confusing when I first joined

So are we staying up to get these alleged 1:00 am ding emails right when they come in?

So are we thinking today is still early in the week? And rejections are definitely coming out? Random speculation appreciated.

There are, unfortunately, a lot more dings to go around. That's my guess re today.ejan1621 wrote:So are we thinking today is still early in the week? And rejections are definitely coming out? Random speculation appreciated.

I wish all of us would hear either way today, if only so that we could have the peace of mind to seriously start thinking about where we're going to deposit Re: Yale c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 cycle)

hmm I wish, but I don't think so. There might be some dings that were supposed to come out yesterday, but instead have been postponed to today or tomorrow.vuthy wrote:So is it even remotely possible that the remaining decisions are all admit and w/l??bbkk wrote:Yale Law Admissions @ylsadmissions
