I feel like the "good luck" was the implied part of the response to the previous sentence...

Re: Yale 2010
So does Yale call people, or do they snail mail, NYU style? I know it takes longer, but I'd actually prefer snail mail at this point. I've been clutching my phone so hard recently it's only so much longer until it breaks.
This is really all moot, because I do not have the numbers for YLS. At all.

More like we all sit around waiting for a call, and they just never call...

Any guesses as to who could be fair game for the first batch tomorrow? October completes? Pre-Thanksgiving completes? Can't help wondering who could be getting their call after GeePee

I have a feeling that the first batch will be very, very small, so it probably won't include all of the pre-Thanksgiving completes.

Ugh...I've totally lost my nerve with regards to Yale. My 250 no longer seems as cleverly unconventional as I thought, and I doubt I'll have time to fix the situation. I just hope the faculty has a sense of humor, or I'm screwed.

Mine doesn't seem clevely unconventional enough now either.

We'll have to swap sometime and mourn our mutual misfortune.
My question: does this mean there will be another batch in January, or will we have to wait two full months for more news?

I would love to know that answer as well. My 250 was sort of a PS 2.0, calling attention to a few unusual activities that didn't make it onto the resume and were connected to my interest in law in unexpected ways. Probably not nearly provocative enough for Yale.
But the fact of the matter is that my application is riding on my stats rather than my softs anyway.
EDIT: Deleted some erroneous information.

They don't, or at least not one they publish.

I believe you more than the online article that claimed otherwise.

Re: Yale 2010
So it will be freak out mode in ITT tomorrow?
I'm done with finals (and my undergraduate career actually), so I'll be laying on my couch all day, having my own personal House marathon and checking in on this thread. Good luck all!

Good choice. I'm addicted to that show. But I still have three finals to write and there is this weird vacant buzzing sound in my brain...

It's a telepathic communication from YLS telling you that they have good news for you.

This thread (and all others on this forum, for that matter) are officially bad for my mental state. 2 hours ago, I was in a blissful state of ignorance, not hoping to hear from Yale anytime in the next several months and working on my finals. Now, I am a nervous wreck who can't focus on finals and STILL will most likely not hear anything from Yale for several months. Definitely a negative turn of events.

Re: Yale 2010
You guys can probably not worry about an email - I was overseas last year and a lot of schools that normally called their admits actually emailed me (some even claimed to have tried calling, though I never had a missed call). Yale was the only one that, even abroad, still made sure to call me.
Seriously though, relax. Very few people get admitted to Yale in December and I think unlike HLS there's not a lot of predictability to it no matter what. If you don't hear from Yale tomorrow and you turned your app in Oct. 1, that just doesn't have any bearing on your ultimate chance of getting in. I get the sense only a few auto-admits (Nobel Peace Prize winner types) get in this early. If YLS works like admissions for PhD programs, they probably have the faculty take a lot of the apps over the break to read, thus the February flood.
If you guys have other exciting acceptances, read those binders, send emails from the email addresses, use it as an excuse to talk to friends at those schools and pick their brain, and most of all enjoy a moment of feeling special. Once you're actually in school no one is courting you anymore, you have a shit ton of work to do, and that special glow wears off real fast. I spent a regrettable amount of time in your shoes last year stressing and angsting and in retrospect it was a hilarious waste of time.
That said, good luck!

Thanks, though chances are, if you're hanging out in waiting room for YLS (and other great schools), you guys are just as - if not more - impressive. And the best part is, the people I met at the YLS ASW (and other ASWs) were much more impressive than I. I feel lucky I'll get to hang out with them for a few years.

See, I'm a small school kinda person in general, so maybe, but I don't know...
Also, Yale was my dream school for UG. I feel like I'm just waiting for the same guy to break my heart again...
