I'm on the High Waiting List, if that means anything...

I posted earlier in this thread about how it worked last year, at least. Check back a few posts.

hi bongsen
i'm sorry you didn't hear better news, but yale does take a significant amount of their class from the waitlist. i checked my mail today and got nothing (Boston). are you a yale student?? never thought i would be this much in love with Yale 😉

best of luck to you!

So does that mean that e-mails aren't going out this year? If they're not then I can spend more time checking my regular mail... 😀

 

[uclalee]

exactly!

 

[JohnHolmes]

All,

The team of mules has been coaxed and floatted across the Quinnipiac River. Mail has reached the other side, and the span of mules has now been reloaded and set out on a feverish pace (3 mph) across the US. Best Luck!

[Cuteasaurus]

Great! That means the mail may get here before the Winter Storms block up the Oregon Trail... 😀

 

[JohnHolmes]

I called the Admissions Office:

Pace: Strenuous
Meals: Meager
Occupation: Farmer
Food Purchased: None
Ammo: None

👍 👍

 

[scrabbler]

Another waitlist for me (will be withdrawing). Best of luck to the rest of you still waiting!

 

[JohnHolmes]

Almost forgot:

Oxen purchased: 0

[mosoriire]

I hope your decision to withdraw was not due to a general loathing of waitlists! It seems the school does go thru its wiatlist pretty deep....

 

[IrishOarsman]

Sorry about the waitlist scrabbler.

CW- the oregon trail thing still cracks me up: http://www.classicgaming.com/rotw/otrail.shtml

The Oregon Trail is the quite possibly the finest game ever made. The Apple II is very likely the finest gaming platform ever developed. Thank you for this site. It will keep me busy for hours.

Irish,

have you tried the emulator. I can't get it to run on Windows 2k pro. Any ideas?

CCW

 

[IrishOarsman]

Mine didn't seem to work (it crashed) but when I ran it again it did. Maybe try one of the other emulators: http://www.classicgaming.com/vault/appleemu.shtml

Try entering in school names and traveling across the country with them:

"WashU has a fever."
"Yale has a broken arm."
"The raft has hit the shore. You have lost: UChicago (drowned). 2 oxen. 96 pounds of food."

Make sure to set the pace to grueling and the food to meager to get the best messages... 😀

 

[bewitched1081]

how long was your essay that discussed why you wanted to go to yale in the supplemental app? i just look at mine and it was one paragraph long. hahaha. at least it is consistent with my letter of intent.

 

[JohnHolmes]

Rise, ye vile thread.

[DrJ2B]

For those who have heard, when did you interview? Is the committee going through applications in the order of when applicants interviewed or is there a different method to their madness? I interviewed rather late (2/20) so should I not expect to hear until some time next week? Thanks! 🙂

 

[JohnHolmes]

Liquor. Its whats for breakfast.

Bump.

 

[bongsen]

[somekevinguy]

Me also. Waitlist.

 

[periodic]

Ok, now I'm going nuts. Are they sending emails in batches or what...

 

[Sixdegrees]

I just got the waitlist email a well. I interviewed early November. No word if it's high waitlist or low. Maybe that'll be in the letter.

 

[ptanpit1]

Hey Yale peeps,

I got my rejection letter today so the mail is here in Baltimore.

 

[Elizabeth1028]

Nothing ... guess I'm rejected. 🙁

 

[Lilmspiano]

[Elizabeth1028]

Be grateful for your waitlist.

 

[DLK]

AHHH i just got my acceptance!! i can't believe it...

 

[jfksenior]

got an email and letter of acceptance today (boston).

😍

 

[fabs82]

Hey all,

Ive been following this thread feverishly for several days now, but this is my first post...

No email... but i got the small, thin envelope in the mail today (im in Rochester, NY), but it contained an acceptance!!! so dont fret if you get a small envelope - it could be good news.

Im from 20 mins outside of new haven, so anyone else whose going there message me and i can give you some info re: the area.


Hope to see some of you in the fall!

CORRECTION... I got the email AFTER I got the snail mail letter... so much for "...letting you know right away..."

 

[Harps]

Good luck to all the SDNers. I had withdrawn earlier, so I am hoping you guys get it.... Don't let the waitlists get ya down. A lot of the Yale class comes from the waitlist.

Praying for you success! 🙂

-Harps

 

[Newquagmire]

waitlisted. again. although this rumor about going through a lot of the waitlist is hopeful.

 

[rager1]

Got the happy email a little after 11am.

Good luck everyone!!!

🙂

[quideam]

E-mail --> waitlist. No mention of tier... did anybody else have a mention of some tier in their e-mail, or did it just say that you're waitlisted?

[mlw03]

anyone else NOT gotten an email or snail mail yet? it looks like a lot of people have gotten stuff so far, and i'd just like to get my answer whatever it may be.

 

[IrishOarsman]

I haven't gotten anything yet .... could be in the snail mail but I haven't been home. Wish me luck!

 

[JohnHolmes]

The emails are coming from [email protected].

Not personalized:

Email is basically three short paragraphs. It says stuff was sent out Monday, the second look weekend is April 29-30 and contact us if you have any other questions. If you interviewed late, chances are more are coming ...

[bigbaubdi]

Got my waitlist email and letter today.

Congrats to everyone who got accepted today and best of luck to those who are waiting!!

 

[bongsen]

I got on high waitlist from both the e-mail and letter.
