waking up to a yale rejection would be pretty brutal, probably the worst time of day for that. but at this point I'll take it.

I would infinitely prefer a rejection today than an acceptance 3 weeks from now.

Really?? If you had the choice between an outright rejection right now, or nothing now and an email on, say, April 25 (which could then possibly be an admission), you'd pick the rejection right now??

This is like the Marshmallow study.

It really is!

As the poll suggests, I'd rather have a ding now then a waitlist at the end of the month. Acceptance, not so much. I guess I'd wait for that.

Y please save me from these dumb hypotheticals and reject me already

It would be interesting to see how peoples' responses change as admissions chances go down. ANYONE would take guaranteed acceptance end of April vs. rejection now, right? But what about 50/50? 25/75? 10/90?

Well, how many Utils is each respective option worth?

Thanks, y'all. Applied 1/31, complete 2/17. No fbeezy invite just yet.

This is actually good to know. I had conditioned myself for one email meaning rejection, two meaning acceptance. Now I actually have to open the email. What happened to the phone calls? I would much prefer a call from a certain area code.

I have a feeling this is going to be an underrated comment, but boy this is great.

I'd take 1% chance of admission in three weeks over rejection right now. YLS is life-changing, I really don't care about the waiting,

100% agree. Heck, I'd take a 1% shot at the C/O 2021.

WHAT ABOUT THE DARN REJECTIONS

[Gabriel_is_Satan]

WHAT ABOUT THE DARN REJECTIONS

Well, if a rejection depends on those faculty, it won't happen before a few days (at the earliest). If the rejection is already known to Dean Asha, it all depends on when she or Craig decides to send that flood of rejection emails. Methink: very very soon (tonight?), but I've been wrong repeatedly on this. (eventually, I'll be right though )

Her constant stream of cat tweets is superb and makes this waiting so much easier (at least for me). Quality content generation, 10/10.

I bet there's one professor out there that they send all the TLSer apps to. That's the one they're waiting on.

And yes, I did just end two sentences with prepositions. What kind of monster is this wait turning me into?

Same. It's terrible, it both raises the stakes of getting into YLS and diminishes the probability---if HLS doesn't admit me straight, what hope is there, rationally, for YLS to do so? But hey, still no rejection email so I can still have some hope ...

Someone just posted this morning about being WL'ed at H and s/he got into Y months ago, so there is definitely hope.
