Okay, I know it's early, but Yale is my first choice, and I'm already terrified that I'm going to screw it up. My goal is New England (although I'm also applying to Pace because they have this Science Summer thing for those of us who haven't taken a...

What's really frustrating is that this is the only time I can check my email today! I have to wait until 2 am California time!

I'll have to do that denial thing I've gotten so good at and just not think about the future. At least for twelve hours or so.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to distract myself by cleaning the house, but every fifteen minutes I swear I'm clicking "refresh" on my inbox.

Has anyone heard anything?

I think I've checked my email fifty times in the last four hours. And I think I've never felt like crying more...

Does anyone know...if we're not offered an interview, do we just get silence? Or do we get a consolation email?

I have a 3.2 and nearly no science courses. I mean, yes my test scores were good and I lived overseas for a couple of years...but what are they really looking for? I think starting the 10th I'll be checking my email 20 times a day.

So the moment of truth is late this week/early next week. And then the limbo will be over. I am so terrified.

Acute Care for me. But I completely agree on the wait! This next month is going to be torture. I'll have my EMT-basic course to keep me busy, though. So I'll get to take my frustrations out on manikins.

None of us knows if we're in. The next month and a half while waiting to find out if we got an interview is going to be nerve-wracking. But I hope to see everyone from this thread there!

So my application is in. There's nothing left for me to do except panic for the next couple months.

i heard back from ******today. here's what she had to say: basically, if you're really worried about your font, email it to her. however, seeing as i finally got my essay to just under two pages at 12pt. times new roman, i'll be submitting it via...

I emailed someone asking her about the essay font size. I'll let you guys know what she tells me.

Anyone who wants a copy of the online chat is going to have to send me their email address, because I can't paste it into a pm here. Thanks! Hi, Dee! There's no such thing as late. Personally, I want to know everyone who's applying, to see who m...

Good lord, I hope not! The next Yale chat is on October 9 from 2 to 3 pm EST. I'll ask that. Speaking of chats, I just got out of today's (only three people!). I have the complete text if anyone is interested. Just send me a message.

That's pretty much the point I'm at in my essay - pulling words to keep the content. Is anyone else at the panic point? My essay needs some polishing, I need to rewrite my resume and I'm waiting on one transcript. Then I'm sending this sucker in. ...

No idea. I'll ask about that at the next chat. They did mention that most people take out loans.

Actually, for some reason, I thought it would be more.

Here's the link to the dates: Admissions Events. With the dates are the links to the actual chat sessions. Some of the things I found out: They get about 420 applicants. 200 are interviewed, 145 are admitted. The class is 85 people. The two larges...

Has anyone else gone to one of their online chat sessions? I went to one today, and I thought it was really informative.

I was wondering the same thing about the research thing. I wrote a thesis as an undergraduate, but it was on education, not healthcare.

Do you remember where you heard that? Because I've been searching EVERYWHERE for information like that.

I'm taking stats right now and I absolutely love it...and I hated math in high school and college. A trick I use: when a formula looks really complicated and scary, I write down each step to doing the equation in words. For example, for the binomi...

Hey, all. How are you guys doing on your GREs? I hate the fact that all they say is "over 1000." Somehow, that's not terribly useful for me.
