Yale (2022-2023)

[regal relic]

my counselor can’t submit until next monday

[languid magnet]

you could be surrounded by positive influence! 👀

[sinful hazel]

dawg

[regal relic]

she said friday at the minimum

💀

[onyx kelp]

I didn’t submit one and got a request like a week ago

I still haven’t submitted one

[knotty oracle]

😄

[sinful hazel]

my ass with the 17th

theres a big grace period

[knotty oracle]

i got my interview before the midyear

[onyx kelp]

this app season has been so boring

i need more excitement

[lost gorge]

Can u get a likely w/o interview lmao

[knotty oracle]

bruh

didn't u get into HARVARD

[regal relic]

YOU LITERALLY GOT INTO HARVARD

💀

[knotty oracle]

^^

[sinful hazel]

dawg

[edgy marsh]

😭

[regal relic]

shut yo goofy ahh up

[tiny hull]

oh i forgot i'm a dumbass

[onyx kelp]

😟

[tiny hull]

sorry for asking about the prefrosh stuff

luck

[onyx kelp]

np

[tiny hull]

i forgot you're at h*rvard

[onyx kelp]

i didn’t commit yet

[tiny hull]

ok good

[onyx kelp]

i will lower y*le’s yield rate if I get in

🥱

yuck fale

[regal relic]

i would like to lower yale’s yield rate if i get in

however

[muted grotto]

luck yknow if you said that on the sub you’d get 100+ downvotes from people saying you’re taking someone else’s acceptance away

[regal relic]

i’m not getting into yale or harvard 💀

[onyx kelp]

I could make someone’s day by getting them off the waitlist though

[muted grotto]

true!

[onyx kelp]

life*

[regal relic]

unlikely, they usually overadmit

[sinful hazel]

true u get into Both

[regal relic]

just to compensate for yield

it sucks

[muted grotto]

sub is so crazy about “taking away someone’s acceptance” like if people apply after getting in REA or don’t immediately withdraw everything after getting in someplace early

[lost gorge]

^^ anyone know?”

[onyx kelp]

you probably can although I’d assume it’s even more rare

[regal relic]

what i think is crazy are my friends who got into stanford complaining that they’re not getting interviews RD because they’re autoreject

infuriating fr

[sinful hazel]

would it be rarer?

[muted grotto]

HUH 😭

[regal relic]

like bro?? you’re in at stanford?? stanford is your safety and you’re complaining about not getting a harvard interview yet??

[onyx kelp]

my sister thinks the same thing

she thinks no interview = reject

🤡

[regal relic]

if interviews made me an auto accept i’d get into 4 places

except i’m being fucking ghosted

[onyx kelp]

ive loved my interviews so far

[edgy marsh]

i had a cwru interview and got ✨ deferred

[onyx kelp]

i over prep but then they end up being so chill

I love it

[regal relic]

yield

[edgy marsh]

hopefully lol

[lost gorge]

For sure lol

[edgy marsh]

maybe i didnt demonstrate itnerest

[sinful hazel]

yield

[onyx kelp]

well, that’s enough a2c for the day

good bye yalies and gl

love you all

[edgy marsh]

IM GOING TO

DIE

OF A HEART ATTACK

[onyx kelp]

come to The Game next year and watch your school lose

🥱

[edgy marsh]

WHY DID I THINK IT WAS YALE OR SMT

[sinful hazel]

???

[edgy marsh]

its umich 😭

[lost gorge]

Umich just now?

[edgy marsh]

no its just like

i got in EA

its just another email for next steps

[regal relic]

me fr

[lost gorge]

Ah

I should check my email lol

[regal relic]

i got into one place ea and im likely committing bc i’m getting in nowher rd

[sinful hazel]

stop the negative energy

[regal relic]

i need a 2am email from a college sending me a likely pls 🙏

[lost gorge]

U doing honors program?

[sinful hazel]

100% acceptances

[regal relic]

fr

100%

it would actually be really funny if i got into mit

i had the baseline but i think i fucked it up so royally that i might even have more of a chance

[tiny hull]

it's sorta bizarre

[muted grotto]

email anxiety hack: get rid of email notifs

i don’t have mine on i just check a few times a day

[regal relic]

i still feel appreciated by SCAD

[muted grotto]

then you don’t have heart attacks over random email notifs

[thorn pulsar]

they emailed my parents too and both sent me a ss as if i didnt also get it 💀

[edgy marsh]

Idk yet

[thorn pulsar]

me too!!

[lost gorge]

Ok lol I’m gonna grind the essay tn

[edgy marsh]

When’s it due

[lost gorge]

Early deadline is tmrw

[edgy marsh]

oh..

[lost gorge]

Lmao

[night plank]

day seven of my yale interviewer ignoring me…sending her an edible arrangement in hope of finding forgiveness

[silent aspen]

lowkey i'd try to reschedule cus that doesnt sound like they're going to write a particularly good report

lol

[night plank]

tbh 😭😭

[silent aspen]

🤷‍♂️

[night plank]

i’m trying to talk to her about the scheduling rn and she’s just not emailing me back IM GIVING HER TIME BUT IM RUNBJNG OUT 😭😭😭

will have to consult my crystals on this one

i’m going to blame my email domain

she loves me i know it

i wonder if this is karmic for all the fights i’ve been starting on a2c

[prime lotus]

this is true

[charred cedar]

@night plank u should email admissions office

[jovial tinsel]

I never got one lol

[thorn pulsar]

love me some portal astrology

[jovial tinsel]

Lmao

[timber lance]

damn so many people be getting likelies today!!

[sinful hazel]

wait

[charred cedar]

Why would I wait?

[regal relic]

100%

[sinful hazel]

😭

[regal relic]

me when i see my admissions checklist

[cosmic cedar]

how often do they update slate

is it accurate at all

[charred cedar]

They update it as soon as they make a decision

[timber lance]

if you get a likely

it shows up on the portal right

[grizzled finch]

That’s ridiculous

[timber lance]

like you are a likely candidate for admission

[regal relic]

no

[warm patrol]

Is it an email

[timber lance]

oh nvm then that's for columbia then

[charred cedar]

Colleges use slate to review apps lol

[regal relic]

nova woke up on the wrong side of the bed and came here to hate

[regal relic]

they use slate to FINALIZE apps and update decisions to portals

[charred cedar]

What lol

[regal relic]

you’re not getting a decision in mid feb

[charred cedar]

Yes

That’s not my point

[regal relic]

the point is slate means nothing

[charred cedar]

Everything gets parsed into slate

[regal relic]

my slate updated for caltech a week after the deadline that they had already begun a decision on my app

that isn’t factual because there’s no way they would get done that fast

[charred cedar]

Same

It is

They have a weird process

[regal relic]

still not how that works, they do have committee

also if anything i’d be borderline

[charred cedar]

Caltech has professors

[regal relic]

caltech only uses professors for really borderline apps

[charred cedar]

Nah u can’t say that when a class is only 250.

[regal relic]

and research papers

[regal relic]

only like, 5k apply

versus 50k at ivies

[charred cedar]

For this

If regional AO doesn’t think u would hold up in committee, he is just going to reject

Which is probably what happened to me and whoever has “Decided” on slate

[regal relic]

i don’t think i’d be autorejected 💀

i’d hope not at least

[charred cedar]

Caltech is harder to get into than MIT

[regal relic]

i mean i have decided for harvard too

[warm patrol]

How do you check this on slate

[regal relic]

there’s no way harvard made a decision on me yet either

i was deferred but they didn’t just autoreject

[charred cedar]

You did REA

[regal relic]

esp since i submitted an update

yeah

[charred cedar]

That’s why it says decided

[regal relic]

ohh kk

[charred cedar]

Updates don’t really matter for HYP lmao

[regal relic]

u fr?

[charred cedar]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t even read

[regal relic]

my LOCI was pretty good

why wouldn’t they read my LOCI lmao

esp since i sent it like right after i got deferred

[charred cedar]

It’s another thing to evaluate which they obviously don’t like

[regal relic]

well actually i sent it near the end of jan

[regal relic]

meh

they defer a lot of people either just for grades or because they know they’d get in rd but not ea

aos have made statements “we don’t think they’d be a clear admit ea, but they would sure get in rd”

[charred cedar]

EA is 2-3x harder than RD

[regal relic]

yup

so there’s still a feasible chance

[slim narwhal]

a yale defer is a good sign tbh

yale doesn't defer that many

[regal relic]

didn’t get deferred yale

got deferred harvard

[slim narwhal]

ohh oops nvm

[charred cedar]

Not necessarily

[regal relic]

harvard deferred is a neutral sign

[slim narwhal]

they've said on their podcast that they selectively defer

[charred cedar]

Yeah

Well

It’s not like Stanford defer

[slim narwhal]

but yeah harvard and princeton aren't as selective with their deferrals

true true

[charred cedar]

Stanford defer is about

[regal relic]

does stanford defer means ur likely to get in rd?

[charred cedar]

<10% right?

[regal relic]

i have a friend who got deferred stanford

yep

[charred cedar]

Yes

[regal relic]

they deferred 8-9%

[charred cedar]

Yale did 20

[slim narwhal]

most people i know who got deferred rea got in rd for stanford

[charred cedar]

Defer

[regal relic]

sheesh

[slim narwhal]

but then again i only know like 3 people who experienced that 😭

so its pretty anecdotal

[thorn pulsar]

yeah stanford deferral is a 50/50 split on ao opinions

[regal relic]

i don’t see how an update letter from him wouldn’t get him in

[charred cedar]

But to get admitted u need all

[regal relic]

his mit one was more stuffed than mine by 10x

[charred cedar]

Why does H and P defer so many

And MIT

[grizzled finch]

Money

[slim narwhal]

and lowering their acceptance rates 😭

they can reject more people rd

[prime lotus]

just curious but where did you haer this

[regal relic]

harvar lawsuit i think

[regal relic]

they like to keep their options open

[charred cedar]

😂

[regal relic]

yes

unless you had a MASSIVE achievement on your loci

[night plank]

i’ll give her a couple more days and then i’ll see what i can do ^.^

thank you!

[charred cedar]

Wouldn’t tbh

Reports are due soon

[night plank]

the 17th right?

[charred cedar]

Not sure exactly when

[night plank]

i’m sure she’ll get back to me (coping) she seemed very nice

[prime cloud]

y'all out here getting likelies and im yet to be offered a single interview 😍

[night plank]

:(((

[prime cloud]

autorejected everywhere it seems

[night plank]

nooo noooo i’m sure it’s okay they probably just didn’t have enough interviewers

[prime cloud]

ha maybe. as far as im aware they haven't started rolling out interviews in my country

[charred cedar]

That wouldn’t make sense

[grizzled finch]

I'm curious as to why you seem so confident in all your responses?

[charred cedar]

So confident?

[timber lance]

yeah i got defered from stanford

its not that likely

prolly like 10% of defers would get accepted in regular

[grizzled finch]

I just want to know why you have the answers to every question asked in this chat! How do you find all this stuff out?

[charred cedar]

🤣

[grizzled finch]

I’m serious! Are you the Ivy whisperer?

[night plank]

he’s an ao actually he told me it’s true

swear on my life

[heavy delta]

supernova am i gonna get in :D

[night plank]

as supernovas legal representation we decline making a statement on this issue

[heavy delta]

D:

Please

:(

[sinful hazel]

blizz

[heavy delta]

Yay or Nay

[night plank]

i am the best lawyer in the business i can’t break my path

[sinful hazel]

why u copying me 25/25

[charred cedar]

I offer premium Supernova The Reader services

[heavy delta]

Wahaatat

[night plank]

this is true i paid for them and i was admitted to Harvard full ride

[regal relic]

chance me?? 🙀

[sinful hazel]

drop cashapp

[charred cedar]

What if someone actually launched a consultation service, claiming that they were a Harvard reader

[regal relic]

i mean

if they had credentials they’d get fired

[charred cedar]

XRP only

[regal relic]

but there’s plenty of former AOs who go into consultation

so
step 1. become harvard AO
step 2. retire
step 3. become a consultant

[charred cedar]

Cringe lifestyle

Exploiting high school students

[jovial tinsel]

On slate some of my schools don’t show up

[sinful hazel]

is slate another version of naviance?

[blissful pivot]

how do people get likelies

do they tell you?? a bit confused

[sinful hazel]

1. email from ao asking to call
2. call and tell you youre in

[blissful pivot]

damn crazy

didn’t know that happened

[edgy marsh]

yea hell nah i just read the prompts 😭

could not be bothered im sorry

😭

[wind cipher]

hey y’all I might be working for the admissions office soon

I will not take bribes.

[olive topaz]

donate a building?

pls

[wind cipher]

that isn’t a bribe that’s the cost of admission

[olive topaz]

fuck

[wind cipher]

otherwise you just have to get good lmao

anyways I won’t be reading apps

I’d be a silly little STEM tour guide

might see some of y’all during bulldog days

[edgy marsh]

did all yale likelies come out today

or r they releasing over time/in waves

(for stem)

[silent aspen]

nobody knows

[lost gorge]

😭

i’m at 250/1000 LMAO

[regal relic]

waves prob

[tame rapids]

yo

i just checked my mail to see an email from yale, since its likely day, i legit celebrated for a split second, like you know that moment in reaction videos when ppl juuuust see the bulldog video, THAT!

but then i checked

it was a mid year reminder

[regal relic]

um

[regal relic]

lets say my counselor submitted a midyear saying I had 8 absences with 2 grades just completely not in at all because she submitted before grades were finalized

how bad is this?

I came down to her office asap and she said that she will correct it... tomorrow 💀

SHE SUBMITTED 4 DAYS AGO

im so fucking screwed bro

why couldnt she have waited UNTIL SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO SUBMIT

[stable current]

my school said they’re not submitting it until next week

[regal relic]

she said that colleges will completely replace my midyear and not save the other one on file.. literally the worst things that couldve happened did

[stable current]

they’re so behind on it im over it

[regal relic]

dude at least your midyear doesnt make you an autoreject

[stable current]

it’s not your fault i don’t think you should worry

also i don’t think it shows your absence

[regal relic]

IT DOES i asked

[stable current]

OH

[regal relic]

;/

LOL i told her PLEASE do not submit to MIT because she doesnt need to submit until final

[stable current]

my school doesn’t have it included but i don’t think it’ll affect your chances

[regal relic]

but literally i have no hope

[stable current]

i got my first B last quarter bc of my midterms 😭

[regal relic]

literally 8 absences, 2 grades missing, 4 B+s first quarter and 2 2nd but FOR ONE THERE WAS AN INCOMPLETE

im going to cry

literally reduced my chances to 0

im getting that update letter out to submit asap

[tame rapids]

relax its alright

[regal relic]

no it isnt bro my profile was already mid

theres no chance they havent been reviewing my app since

[stable current]

look man your counselor submitting without two grades is not your fault !!

[regal relic]

they probably saw that, reviewed my app, and put me into the reject pile

[stable current]

it’s out of your control

you’re just getting into your head

dw ab it

[tame rapids]

my counselor also messed up in october and it was AFTER CA submission was done, i realised how badly he fucked up
so in my 11th grade 3 subjects were out of 200 and 3 were out of 150, he wrote in my transcript that all were out of 200
so now i had 143/200 instead of 143/150, naturally this messed up my GPA, but then I made him email all my schools about it, its fixed now

so as long as your counselor fixes it, its alright

assuming they do fix it

[regal relic]

hopefully

she said she would fix it asap tomorrow

and i can get all of my notes in to clear my absences

[tame rapids]

then you have nothing to worry about, chill

[regal relic]

im just worried colleges will see that and yeet my app

[tame rapids]

that's just the anxiety talking, dw about it

[radiant oyster]

relaxx, my profile shows there is an optional report submitted in common app when my counselor didnt submit any report at all. That m,eans eitehr someone tampered with my cousnelor's account or some system error, or my counselor got very very drunk , but She is sending a mail saying that she hadnt submitted an optional report, so ignore

[lost spire]

only care about things in life that are in your control, your counselor fucked up and will correct it, have them email the college to let them know and everything will be fine

[regal relic]

alright thats what i asked her to do

still sucks theyre going to take unconscious bias to this

im p sure harvard deferred to see midyear

[lost spire]

now don’t worry about it you did everything right

[late raptor]

Do you think all likely letters are sent out, or is it on rolling basis?

[regal relic]

rolling

[still vessel]

It's definitely rolling

I think someone mentioned that they got it at 3 pm yesterday

but I got mine at 11 pm

[late raptor]

Congratulations!!!

[stable current]

yeah they have to wait for interviews and mid years to come through

[late raptor]

Are you international?

[still vessel]

No I’m domestic

[still vessel]

Thanks

[vivid viper]

ayo can you share a ss? I'm sorry Im just really curious about what the email looks like lol

[still vessel]

Yeah I will once I get a chance to blur out privacy info

[regal relic]

just submitted update materials 👍

[tame tree]

fyi intls almost never get likelies

Even if youre accepted intls almost never get likelies except athletes

[iron badger]

if so was it with a senior or an alumni?

[cosmic cedar]

Accepted internationals do usually get interviews though, right?

[tame tree]

Yea

But it’s also possible to get in without interview somerimes

In case there’s no availability in your region

[tight hull]

Ghzb moment

[night plank]

yes: if you’ve passed the first read but you 1.) cured cancer or 2.) there was no interviewer available you still have a chance

and then the second read takes that interview into consideration or doesn’t

and an interview definitely does not indicate admission

[cedar yoke]

I live in a hotspot of yale alumnis and everyone else got their interview weeks ago

Have yet to get one

😦

[sinful hazel]

based

[sinful hazel]

mid year reminder?

[cosmic cedar]

our guidance counselor needs to add midyr reports to common app right

and uni's take from there?

[regal relic]

how to bypass not getting an interview: submit an update letter

it’s permanently attached to your file

and when AOs debate you in committee, they can review the pages added to your file

[granite tangle]

Still awaiting Yale interview. Finished with UPenn, Princeton, MIT and Cornell interviews.

[tranquil comet]

do you have to have an interview to get a likely?

[regal relic]

no

but most likelies have already gone out

[plush chasm]

@regal relic got the gig 😤

[prime lotus]

wait what

mit just needed the fun form

[tranquil comet]

[regal relic]

LETS GOOOOOOOO

[plush chasm]

[plush chasm]

[regal relic]

[prime lotus]

omg WHATTT that's so cool!

[still vessel]

Actually I think I’m just gonna send what the email says here it might be easier

[thorn pulsar]

it popped outta nowhere

[still vessel]

My name is BLANK and I am the admissions officer responsible for reviewing applications from BLANK. I am reaching out regarding your application to Yale and would like to connect over the phone for a quick 5- 10-minute conversation.

That’s basically what they say

[edgy marsh]

OMG U LIVE IN BLANK???? I LIVE IN BLANK TOO!!!

we should be besties

[still vessel]

Lmao I just blurred it out for privacy

[edgy marsh]

[regal relic]

[regal relic]

YIPPEE

No, I haven't got mine yet 🤡

[regal relic]

nah tbh

but if you were going to get one you probably would’ve gotten one by now

[sinful hazel]

probably

[regal relic]

keep in mind most people who get them get in, but an even portion of the applicant pool also doesn’t get them, and still gets in

[sinful hazel]

welp

[edgy marsh]

ME even tho ik they probably sent them all out alr 😭

[grim agate]

[stable current]

nah it’s definitely in waves

[tranquil comet]

FR and I'm unqualified too so it's like extra unnecessary

[stable current]

bc it’s up until like mid march

[sinful hazel]

even though i know its over, still have auto refresh on my email every thirty seconds on another monitor

[regal relic]

likely!!

[nimble lance]

YO

[vivid viper]

you scared me for a sec

[knotty oracle]

is it really over?

[regal relic]

it took them an hour and a half to process 🤨

[knotty oracle]

hmm

[charred cedar]

That sends auto

[regal relic]

wdym!! i am a likely candidate!! do not hate on me!!

i’m jk i know

[tranquil comet]

yay congrats on likely!! now that ur in yale u wanna do me a solid & ask those admissions officers abt me 😍💕🥰

[sinful hazel]

idk im thinking since a lot of people alrdy got letters

and im sure majority arent in a2c

[regal relic]

sure bae i’ll autoadmit you

[edgy marsh]

SLAYYYYY

Oh

I rly thought

😭

[regal relic]

nah dw i probably won’t even get in 💀

more or less a likely

[vivid viper]

Curious

Has anyone test optional received one

Like ever

[knotty oracle]

hmmmmmmmm 😳

[sinful hazel]

i mean... likelies HAVE been sent out until like next week in previous years

[edgy marsh]

I have faith in u 😎

[sinful hazel]

we all get likelies in the next wave

[echo haven]

We all get likelies on March 30th

[sinful hazel]

well

[edgy marsh]

💀

[rigid jay]

doesnt a likely mean that you are in the top few percentage of the incoming class

[edgy marsh]

yeah

likely means

1. they really want u to come
2. they think you will get admit into some other top colleges

[regal relic]

top 1-3% get likely, but your app could have been not even fully reviewed yet

[rigid jay]

hmm ok

[muted grotto]

the fact y’all have the confidence to be expecting a likely when it’s top 1-3% of ADMITS is insane to me 😭

[regal relic]

😡😡 wdym!?! 😩 if i don’t get a likely… 😒 they don’t want me… 😿

[night plank]

and i thought teenagers were supposed to be insecure

except u calypso i called the aos myself ur likely is on the way

dw

i got you

[regal relic]

😶✨

nah i won’t get one but an admit letter would be nice… march 30

i would like 2 videos on march 30

[edgy marsh]

expecting....hoping....begging......praying..

[tight hull]

Fuck.

[tight hull]

Overconfident asf 💀

[night plank]

everyone you still have a chance without the likely I’ve seen people say+the podcast claim it’s offered to 1-3% of applicants that they absolutely can’t lose so if they admit 2300 av per year that’s 23-69 likely letters at MOST

like you are fine it’s okay

it’s all going to be okay

ur at yale next year literally

[wind cipher]

you’ll get the notification

[twin oar]

i know damn well i aint getting no likely

be fr

[night plank]

no fr im just gonna take the ego boost of making it past the first read and ride that through the next couple months i tried my best

fr put my all in

i am at peace now 👩‍🍼

[vivid viper]

Do they send them on the same day?

[vivid viper]

Right like I'm trying to get in tf☠

[digital zodiac]

friend of mine got a likely!!!

[charred cedar]

Ofc

[vivid viper]

wow, congratss!! Did ur friend get it today?

[regal relic]

literally everyone in this channel in march getting accepted

there’s so many people with a likely here zamn

[tranquil comet]

FR

like how

[echo haven]

Welcome to A2C

[tame tree]

jeez

A2C stacked

But eh even most accepted ppl don’t receive likelies

So who cares 😭

[digital zodiac]

Yes

[digital zodiac]

idk i got deferred rea

there was a yale REA thread off one of the general channels

and it was like 50/50 accepted/deferred among our squad

[regal relic]

you’ve got a good chance rd

[charred cedar]

yale defer is probably a good sign relative to harvard

[regal relic]

how i see it is
yale defer = +
harvard defer = neutral
mit defer = -

[charred cedar]

yeah makes sense

princeton defer = -

stanford defer = ++

[vivid viper]

ooh nice, email/mail ?

[tame tree]

Changed this year tbh

They didnt defer as much as they used to

Their deferral stats were closer to Yale’s this year

[knotty oracle]

wait from what i've heard mit defer = neutral

i think they defer everyone except the top olympiad and isef ppl

[regal relic]

nah check their cds it’s unfortunate

maybe they changed it though

[charred cedar]

Nah

That’s just how Princeton is

[tame tree]

huh weird

[charred cedar]

Why do u say “stats” when Princeton doesn’t release stats lmao

[tame tree]

My bad, shouldn’t have said stats

More so the general trend I’ve seen from around 30 people from different countries with different profiles who got rejected and deferred

[charred cedar]

look at US

intl isn't very representative of the applicant pool

[queen glade]

that’s really a good sign

because out of HYP yale is the one that doesn’t defer much

Harvard and Princeton do defer a lot REA

but yale doesn’t

it definitely isn’t like stanford level of + if you get deferred but it’s still a good sign

schools like stanford defer if your vote was a split (2-2) for admitting or not

and while i doubt it’s exact same for yale i presume if you got deferred whoever read your app first really liked it enough to discuss it at committee

so it will get a second read and whoever does read it is likely to wanna take it to committee so i’d argue you have a good chance

[charred cedar]

its probably similar for yale

50-50 = defer id bet

[queen glade]

not really

bc im p sure

its equaloly competitive

in terms of

the levles of AOs

but yale deferws a good 20 odd precent

whereas stanford defers less than they accept (like 6%)

[jovial tinsel]

How much did Princeton defer this year

[muted grotto]

1

[jovial tinsel]

👀

Four people I know rea Princeton two rejected two deferred

[charred cedar]

Nah that’s not true

[queen glade]

they defer CRAZY low

like CRAZY

[charred cedar]

Well yeah

Like 10%

i wouldnt say they defer <4%

[muted grotto]

2

[stable current]

i have my interview today

im literally shaking in my boots

[edgy marsh]

goodluckk

[vivid viper]

Stop shaking

Its a conversation

[knotty oracle]

Good luck 🍀

[stable current]

thank you guys!!

i’ll let you know how it goes

[tame blaze]

she’s allowed to be nervous

[regal relic]

my friend got a yale likely

same friend who got into harvard ._.

[edgy marsh]

damn 😭

just now ?

[regal relic]

they’re still rolling them out

yep

[wind cipher]

have you read the ma essay

it might be a good indicator as to whether you’d get in

[edgy marsh]

senior or alumni 🙂

[regal relic]

wym?

[edgy marsh]

interview

[wind cipher]

Yale likely =/= senior or alumni interview

[regal relic]

i’m not sure

[edgy marsh]

🥲

[charred cedar]

idk what that is

[edgy marsh]

i didnt even know that existed

[wind cipher]

ma balls

[edgy marsh]

then i heard the rumor

and now i am clutching to it

[wind cipher]

is admissions open today

[charred cedar]

damn

[brave plank]

besties

i got into yale!!!!!

without even applying

[edgy marsh]

YAYYYYY

oh

[brave plank]

i think the admission officers want me

[edgy marsh]

!!

[brave plank]

they think im cute

[regal relic]

💀

[edgy marsh]

[brave plank]

but they want me to live with em

should i accept it?

[regal relic]

today has been so utterly shit

[brave plank]

why do u happen to be so cute

[regal relic]

it feels like they’re sending out hundreds of yale likelies

[brave plank]

😍

[regal relic]

💀

[charred cedar]

lol @regal relic

thats funny

[wind cipher]

do you wanna talk about it in dms?

[charred cedar]

please dont be upset u didnt get a likely

thats ridiculous

[regal relic]

i appreciate the offer but there’s really no need

[regal relic]

nah 💀

[wind cipher]

hundreds of likelies but there’s 50k applicants

[regal relic]

unrelated to yale

[muted grotto]

there was a correlation in previous cycles tho

[wind cipher]

statistical correlation or just vibes

I will settle this concern once and for all

[muted grotto]

word of mouth

[brave plank]

please dont 😢

my heart hurts

my lil fella too

i need ur assistance

[regal relic]

just wanna get out of my hometown so badly fr it feels like all of my “friends” try to bash me every chance they get and it was exceptionally bad today lmao

[brave plank]

ur username is FirestarXYZ

[edgy marsh]

yea

[brave plank]

pokemon wannabe ahh ☠️ ☠️

[edgy marsh]

💀

[brave plank]

bro gon get rejected from asu 💀

[edgy marsh]

i did

[brave plank]

whyd i get a warning

i didnt do anything

[hearty bobcat]

ayo u are so cute 😻

[edgy marsh]

harassment and cyberbullying

[brave plank]

slide in

[regal relic]

i was also admitted to hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry for a—aaa-astrology 😿

[brave plank]

lets have some fun shall we

[edgy marsh]

i was admitted to hogwarts for

computer science

[wind cipher]

ok

now I know that the only way we can ever find out is by doing a mass survey

[brave plank]

personally i got into mit

so like

i dont think ur all that

[edgy marsh]

mit is my safety

[hearty bobcat]

u aint accomplished nun if u dont get accepted to Levy 4.0, 1600. 2376, chad

[wind cipher]

but I just walked into admissions and asked them about senior interviews

[brave plank]

bro gonna get rejected from his safety ☠️ ☠️

[regal relic]

i got a likely

[wind cipher]

they said there is no functional difference

[wind cipher]

did you actually

[regal relic]

to levy college

💀

[wind cipher]

dude same

[brave plank]

gullible ahhh

ofc not

look at his username

[wind cipher]

so according to the admissions front desk they said that there’s no difference in correlation between alumni and senior interviews

now they might be BSing

so idk

[edgy marsh]

"Due to limited alumni availability in your particular area, you are invited to interview virtually with a current Yale senior."

but i live in bay area and ppl here have had alumni inteviews 😭

aaaaa

idk idkd idikikdisubfghjghjbf

[wind cipher]

limited availability doesn’t mean there aren’t already interviewers

it means they’re fully booked

[edgy marsh]

mm true

[wind cipher]

because there are just so many Bay Area applicants

[edgy marsh]

cant they just squeeze in one more bay area asian cs male 🥺

[wind cipher]

if I had to guess, one reason why senior interviews may correlate with higher acceptances is that they may just be able to write better interview reports

it’s easier to have a genuine and potentially heartfelt conversation with someone who’s only four years older than you rather than 40

[regal relic]

yeah i’d like to have reassurance i passed first read 💀

i’m ngl i probably didn’t atp

[charred cedar]

if u have a 1500+ and a 3.8+ gpa

u passed first read

100000%

[regal relic]

4.0 uw test optional

[wind cipher]

eh probably

[charred cedar]

yeah

thats fine

unless ur app screams no character

[wind cipher]

if your essay is dog and you have no other hooks then maybe

[charred cedar]

which i bet happens a lot

[wind cipher]

yeah probably

[regal relic]

i don’t think my essays were dog but i’m also rural title I hs

[wind cipher]

that’s a hook

you made it through first read

[muted grotto]

me when 1470

[wind cipher]

me when 1776

[regal relic]

1492 🙏

[charred cedar]

1701

[wind cipher]

Columbus sailed the ocean blue

[wind cipher]

Yale moment

[charred cedar]

yes

[regal relic]

pulling out the chistopher columbus hook

[wind cipher]

smallpox moment

[charred cedar]

i mean

if activities have like no personality

chance u dont make first read

[regal relic]

i would say i have a decent spike with good personality 😶

[charred cedar]

and like

if u have one bad thing

they just stop reading

probably

[regal relic]

i’m worried that my counselor fucked something up

[wind cipher]

what if you’re epic

[charred cedar]

dont worry about stuff like that

[wind cipher]

calypso

[regal relic]

she’s new and she already botched my midyear

[wind cipher]

oop

[charred cedar]

then ask her to fixi t

[regal relic]

so i sat down with her and she sent an email to all of my colleges saying she’d update it today

i did

[wind cipher]

do you have any exams coming up

[regal relic]

yes

[wind cipher]

yeah

ok

those

also anti anxiety medication helps

[charred cedar]

well yeah

its medication for a reason

[wind cipher]

but I’d argue that most people are absolutely riddled with anxiety about this

so you are not alone

[charred cedar]

idk if its worth taking medication

[regal relic]

i kinda have been but i also have GAD so it doesn’t really matter

[wind cipher]

based

lexapro moment

[regal relic]

also i’m worried since 2 people from my school got into ivies this year already

and we’ve had 0 prior

ever

[wind cipher]

ok

[charred cedar]

then be the first

[regal relic]

i’d be the third

[wind cipher]

would a good wholesome meme take your eyes off the institution that was core to the eugenics movement of the 1930s

[regal relic]

yes

[dense nimbus]

ok tbh I dont even fully know what title 1 means but if thats a hook, does this mean my school is title 1?

and if so, will they give me a break on my ECs cus they are 100% the weakest part of my app and there are close to 0 opportunities at my school

[queen glade]

i want interview

pls

[regal relic]

title I = poor

as far as i know counselors have to put the % of people who go typically attend a 2 or 4 year college too on commonapp right?

[spring ravine]

same

[queen glade]

please give

interview

so bad

i want

[sinful hazel]

is title I school a hook>

[dense nimbus]

Wonderful

cus my school is very bad there

Lmao

[edgy marsh]

Idts

[charred cedar]

Legacy, recruit, or URM are the only meaningful hooks imo

[uncut hazel]

what's that?

[sinful hazel]

urm?

[uncut hazel]

underrepresented minority ^^

[edgy marsh]

Under represented minrorithru

[wind cipher]

I can’t do it to you

[wind cipher]

yes

it means your school is poor relative to the national average (which is already low)

[queen glade]

is this a dn joke

[wind cipher]

yes

[queen glade]

you don’t deserve to get into yale

[wind cipher]

wdym get into

my ass is here to stay

[queen glade]

this kind of foolery might work at an inferior institution like dartmouth

but not here at yale

we are intellectually superior individuals

[wind cipher]

The fuck do you@mean we

[queen glade]

by we i mean the upperclassmen of yale college

[wind cipher]

deez nuts is the pinnacle of humor

[uncut hazel]

ayo 💢 💢 spill the deets

wait

no

NO

NOOOO

😭 bruh

goodness gracious

[night plank]

oh yale a2c chat, as atrocious as usual keep it up

[knotty oracle]

good sign

that means ivies r looking at ur school now 🙂

[regal relic]

yeah but def not at me 💀

[sinful hazel]

is ur school newish?

[regal relic]

both that they accepted were URM + first gen because my school is a jackpot for that

[regal relic]

nah just really underfunded

[knotty oracle]

bruh how can u even say that with 12 ap/ib courses a semester

😐

[sinful hazel]

damn:(

yeah thats why i was like

theres no way

[knotty oracle]

wait i was referring to this

💀

[regal relic]

i’m ngl i’m hoping my midyear doesn’t kill me

it’s gonna be an upward battle and i don’t think i’m good enough to bypass committee

[sinful hazel]

has every likely so far alrdy submitted a midyear report

[regal relic]

not necessarily

[eager hollow]

anyone had their interview yet?

I’m preparing like crazy

and need tips

[charred cedar]

no need to prepare really

[vivid viper]

^

Just know why you want to go to yale tbh and perhaps have a convo starter ready

That's all I did for mine and we talked for like 2 hours so

[eager hollow]

alrr thank you

i have it near the end of the month so idk what I should be doing

I had a princeton interview but i’m convinced it went horribly wrong

but it was due to my interview

he was just too much

[stable current]

my interviewer said to reflect on your aspirations and values

and to think about past experiences that have been meaningful to you

[regal relic]

how do y’all talk for 2h bro 💀

[vivid viper]

Because it was a great interview 👨🏾‍🦲

That's precisely how

[stable current]

yale interview demolished 😎

[vivid viper]

see i knew you'd eat down 🎉

[stable current]

i was super lucky bc her and i are from the same background

she actually quoted one of my responses when she talked ab herself

[night plank]

best interview advice i’ve seen on a2c

[vivid viper]

it works lol

[regal relic]

this also def depends on the interviewer’s schedule

sometimes they don’t want to go over 30 min
