A few weeks ago I posted the stats of three kids we know who applied Early Action to Yale.  Some details were disguised (i.e. Varsity Cross Country could be Varsity Tennis; Varsity Baseball could be Varsity Basketball; a double legacy could actually be a multi-generational legacy), but basically the thumbnail descriptions were accurate.

Today at 6 PM EST the decisions were released.  Thousands of off-the-charts kids were deferred or rejected, mirroring the experience of others who received decisions from Stanford on Saturday.  (Disappointed/irate College Confidential posters called these results "The Stanford Slaughter" and the "Bulldog Bloodbath".) 

So how did the Neurotic Parents' friends do?  Yale or No Yale?  Scroll down for the results in CAPS and exclamation points (because all the emails about kids' admissions seem to include both of the above).
