Congrats! Anyone else?

Well, after all these months, we are now down to one final day of admits. With the exception of any lucky souls who are later admitted off the waitlist, tomorrow should be it.

It's a funny feeling to have an (almost literally) 1 in 1,000 chance of getting a phone call. It's like I bet on UC Santa Barbara to win the NCAA basketball tournament and, tomorrow, I'll find out if the Gauchos somehow pulled it off.

Always dream big!

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

1 in 1,000 might be an overestimate in the UCSB example, although it's an underestimate in your case.

IN HOLY [FORK]

Congrats! And, by the looks of it, you're the only one on LSN to be accepted today.

Although I remain quite pessimistic about my chances, I think you're probably right. I will rest well tonight, secure in the knowledge that my dwindling chances of being accepted by Yale are still somewhat better than were UCSB's chances of winning the NCAA tournament.

I think I would peg the odds of my getting a call tomorrow at approximately 15:1 — the odds that any one candidate will be admitted to Yale. I'd say my numbers put me in the lower third of applicants, but that the rest of my application puts me in the upper third, thereby balancing out and giving me something around a 5-10 percent shot.

Congrats, theadw!

Given that theadw appears to be the only acceptance on TLS/LSN, and that said acceptance came at 5:03, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the majority of the acceptances will be given out tomorrow. I could be wrong, but, hey, it's somewhat logical.

Here's also hoping that WLs and rejections come via e-mail, quick, on Wednesday.

Anyone else also waiting for Stanford? With YS appearing to make their final first round decisions this week, I am extra nervous. It'd be nice, having avoided small thin envelopes heretofore, to get into one of the two. Good luck to all still waiting!

Do they WL and reject by email?

[eagles111]

really glad I was at work all day and didnt check tls or twitter till just now. My phone rang like 7 or 8 times and i would have pissed myself every one. On that note, looking forward to tomorrow. GL everybody.

[nawktasy]

Do they WL and reject by email?

According to someone upthread, they WLed and rejected people via e-mail in mid-April last year. This is also in accord with one of Asha's latest blog posts, which, I believe, stated that non-acceptance decisions would be e-mailed toward the end of the cycle.

Hopefully, you won't have to find out!

No, actually, just calculated realism.

Yeah, you're right.

[chi16]

per usual, please forgive my ignorance. why does everyone think tomorrow will be the final day for regular decision admits?

[Boba Fett]

This drudgery reeks of Ding. Please, cut the stank out.

Hey man, we can't all go around quoting the Bible while posting pictures of Vida Guerra's wet ass.

Speaking of wetness and women:

"And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink." Genesis 24:16-18

May we all be so fortunate as to drink a little water from Vida's pitcher.

Why?

http://twitter.com/ylsadmissions, plus general paranoia and dread.

I saw the tweet, I'm wondering why people think it's the FINAL day of admits.

Not that it really matters, I've abandoned all hope. It's looking like NYU or potentially Michigan.

Last year's cycle on LSN would predict that only acceptances off the WL will take place past this week. That, and, this week, Yale will finally be issuing waitlists for the first time all cycle. So it really appears as though they have reviewed each and every application at this point and are ready to fill their class.

Why?

I'm guessing he can't get a drink anywhere else?

[lta]

All quiet?

[r6_philly]

They are 4 new members to the FB group so I guess they did call a few people yesterday.

[pleasepickme]

It's a weird feeling knowing that this is it, do or die. If the phone doesn't ring today, it will never ring.
