Yale or No Yale – The Regular Decision Edition

A few months 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.

If you remember, Students A and B, profiled below, were both accepted to Yale in the Early Action round.  (Early Action, unlike Early Decision, means you can still apply to other schools…so if accepted, Yale can be your safety!)  Student C was deferred, but took it in stride.

So…is it Yale or No Yale for these kids?  Did Students A & B find an even better school in Regular Decision?  Did Student C get accepted, waitlisted or rejected?  Scroll down for the answer.  Look for the CAPS after each boy's profile.

Student A:

Caucasion male.  Attends top public school in a mid-Atlantic state.  Ranked #1 in his school.  2380 SAT, no prep, one sitting.  Captain, Varsity Cross Country.  Won a language prize and scholarship to spend a semester abroad as an exchange student.  Selected to do research in prestigous summer program - his evaluator said the student has the one of the greatest scientific minds he has ever encountered.

RESULT: ACCEPTED AT YALE, EARLY ACTION.  ALSO ACCEPTED REGULAR DECISION AT HARVARD, PRINCETON, PENN, DUKE, WILLIAMS, AMHERST AND SWARTHMORE. In the last two weeks he has overnighted at Harvard and Penn and attended an accepted student event at Princeton (where his mom reports there was a fabulous spread for the parents.)  Now he is headed to New Haven on Saturday where he will decide – Yale or No Yale.

Student B:

  1. Prior to Wake Forest, she served as an assistant coach for six years at Georgetown University. Similar to her position with the Deacons, Adair was primarily responsible for the Georgetown post players. She was instrumental in the development of Georgetown AllAmerican, WNBA AllStar and twotime WNBA champion Rebekkah Brunson, who was selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2004 WNBA Draft by the Sacramento Monarchs.

  2. The former player, linebacker Barrett Green , says he was targeted by the Redskins during a game against his New York Giants on Dec. 5, 2004, and suffered a careerending knee injury. Green filed a lawsuit earlier this year against the Redskins, Williams and the player who hit him, Robert Royal .

  3. Each province is only allowed to send one male and one female team, says Prins. We probably have more depth on our boys team, but there is a higher calibre among the girls.

  4. Cruyff, who both played for and managed Barcelona, leading them to their first ever European Cup in 1992, added that he would not get excited about Neymar playing for the club until he had watched several games with him in the side.

  5. Wrote another: doesn change the fact that he was, is, and always will be a scum bag Rory McIlroy sent a text message to Woods, congratulating him on taking over the No. 1 world ranking again. A victory at the Houston Open would put McIlroy back at No. 1..

  6. In the 1982 World Cup in Spain, Brazil thrilled everyone with their play, and I can recall with clarity rushing home from a high school graduation party to catch the tapedelayed BrazilScotland match. With pillars like Socrates, Falcao, Junior, Eder, Serginho and Zico, Brazil was the perfect ballet of futebol genius that being the most thrilling, creative and astoundingly brilliant team doesnt always get you to the top. The Dutch team of 1974 and the Brazilians of 1982 would likely agree on that point for not having accomplished the ultimate goal. Youd be hard pressed to find two teams that have burned themselves into the collective memories of soccer fans by the manner in which they delighted and then flamed out.

  7. You cant ignore it, Werner Hackmann, vicepresident of the DFB and chairman of the German Soccer League, said on Sunday. It is a lot of money which soccer could use very well.
