Yale (2022-2023)

[silent aspen]

i just mean my MIT interviewer

they really gotta make it so your interviewer has preferably the same interests as you lol

[spring ravine]

I just said last year cause I'm on a gap year

[silent aspen]

oh lol

for me the dude was really just an academic med school kinda person and im tryna major in poli sci so it was mid as fuck

[eternal needle]

feel the pain bro

[glad dagger]

Hope they’re not that bad I have mine on Friday 😭

But it’s with a senior so it should be chill

[regal relic]

yale auto admit

right here

[uncut hazel]

yoooo gg on that! when did you get your interview request?

[timber lance]

am i the only one who still hasn't gotten an interview

lmao

every college ive applied to except yalke

[regal relic]

i haven’t from yale

i got 4 others tho

[timber lance]

yale is the only one that actually matters too lmao

cause its based on request from aos

[uncut hazel]

same lmao

[timber lance]

auto reject for us ig

rip

[regal relic]

at least i can sleep soundly knowing that they didn’t need more info to auto reject me

🙏

[glad dagger]

Yesterday night!

[uncut hazel]

woo, awesome! are you a domestic?

[glad dagger]

Intl 🙂

[uncut hazel]

OOO

which country?

[glad dagger]

Uruguay

[uncut hazel]

sickkk

oh wait we've talked before ahahaha

i thought your name was familiar

[glad dagger]

There’s no alumni here I didn’t expect an interview at this point lol

[uncut hazel]

congrats!! you deserve it, smash it and gg :)

[glad dagger]

Aw thanks!

[edgy marsh]

?????

[glad dagger]

Did you get yours yet?

[uncut hazel]

nope, still waiting on Yale :o

[glad dagger]

I’m sure you’ll get one soon

[uncut hazel]

but that's a really good sign for you, must have a super strong chance at admission

[timber lance]

yeah its based on their request

[glad dagger]

On the interview registration website there were dates til like end of Feb

[uncut hazel]

thanks haha, i'll lyk when/if i do! would love a senior one, that's a ticket to yale :D

[glad dagger]

So still plenty of time!

[uncut hazel]

ohhhh awesome!

[timber lance]

if your application "needs more information"

[uncut hazel]

wait there's a website?

[edgy marsh]

no it’s not

[glad dagger]

When you get the email they give you a link to schedule your interview

[edgy marsh]

I got a senior interview with no likely

[timber lance]

like 90% of people who get in have interviews

[uncut hazel]

ahhh right

[timber lance]

unless you are auto admit

[uncut hazel]

doesn't have to be a likely, but generally senior student interviews mean you have a better chance right

[glad dagger]

And they had interview dates all February

[uncut hazel]

bc those are rare asf

[glad dagger]

So I’m sure there’s plenty of time

[edgy marsh]

Idts

The email just said lack of alumni availability

[uncut hazel]

i'll keep checking my inbox haha here's to hoping

[timber lance]

yeah then prolly means nothing

[spring ravine]

I've seen ppl last year getting yale interviews early march

[timber lance]

i think its late now

[timber lance]

cause they prolly started reviewing most people

[uncut hazel]

i haven't gotten an interview yet but i'm deffo not auto admit

so oops

[spring ravine]

ya same

[edgy marsh]

though i literally live in bay area whihc is weird

[timber lance]

yeah auto admits

[uncut hazel]

that means you're probably borderline right

[timber lance]

get likelies

[spring ravine]

maybe idk

[timber lance]

so unless you got a likely

gg

[uncut hazel]

idk lowkey that sounds like a good sign to get a senior interview then

i imagine cali has a ton of yale alum

[timber lance]

and i think likelies are already out now

[spring ravine]

I mean they prolly roll them out throughout feb

[timber lance]

they were released so early this year

nah

im pretty sure its for a week

and then no more

like 5% of admits get likelies

anyways

so

prolly over now

[vivid viper]

Is it that high

I'd expect it to be even lower

[timber lance]

no its extremely low, 5% of admits

so barely anyone lmao

[regal relic]

1-3%

[vivid viper]

Yeah I'm saying I think it'd be less than 5

[glad dagger]

Yeah I got the same email

[spring ravine]

yeah likelies are super cracked

[edgy marsh]

i had mine a few weeks ago, but the link shows that theres like a lot of new spots open

so i think they opened up a new batch

recently

[vivid viper]

Me checking my email for something from Yale like I wasn't an auto reject

[glad dagger]

Yeah exactly so I’m sure there’s still a chance for the ones that didn’t get an interview

Don’t lose hope!

Esp for internationals

[spring ravine]

the person I know who got a yale likely also got into harvard stanford columbia brown washu and uva

[edgy marsh]

i haate smart people

[glad dagger]

Oh to be them

[spring ravine]

not to be mean but they were far from the smartest kid at our school, just was a really good person

had like a 1440 or something

[edgy marsh]

i hate

people

[spring ravine]

lol

[edgy marsh]

thats still really good

[vivid viper]

I know someone who got into Yale, Harvard and MIT but no likelies so I wouldn't bet on one

[spring ravine]

yeah but not for havard stanford yale etc. lol

[edgy marsh]

mm

ig

[glad dagger]

Did you guys send SAT scores?

[spring ravine]

yes

[dense nimbus]

yes

[edgy marsh]

yes

[glad dagger]

Nice same

[edgy marsh]

i sent my below 25th percentile score to cmu LOL

[vivid viper]

A2C instilled such a fear of TO into me

[glad dagger]

SAME

[spring ravine]

I'm just hoping my SAT scores makes up for my mid af gpa 💀

[glad dagger]

But mine wasn’t bad so I was gonna send it anyway

[vivid viper]

Me but the other way around

[edgy marsh]

for some reason i only discovered a2c AFTER i submitted all my college apps

[vivid viper]

Probably better

[dense nimbus]

im just hoping my academics can make up for my dreadful ecs

[glad dagger]

Same but I’m glad I did ngl

[spring ravine]

ya that's a much better position to be in

[glad dagger]

Would’ve driven me insane

[edgy marsh]

i dont think being here wouldve changed anything

[vivid viper]

Oh I was talking about discovering a2c lol dw I think you're fine

[edgy marsh]

ppl say that they compare themselves to others here but i havent rly seen anyone brag abt their ec's and stuff

[vivid viper]

Unless your GPA is abysmal I think you'll be okay

[spring ravine]

I mean it's not bad but for yale it's pretty borderline

it's like a 3.7ish

[vivid viper]

More on the reddit than here

[vivid viper]

You're fine

[glad dagger]

Only thing I’m worried abt is that I was predicted a 44/45 on the IB and ended up getting a 41

Hopefully it’s not that big a change idk 😭

[vivid viper]

I have a 4.0 but my SAT score is poop

[spring ravine]

the thing is I have a C and D on my transcript 💀

[edgy marsh]

i dont think over 50% of yale applicants are borderline

[vivid viper]

Oh

[spring ravine]

like I have a medical excuse for it but still

major red flag

[muted grotto]

is there any march ones 👁️

[dense nimbus]

medical excuse

3.7

not end of the world

lol

[vivid viper]

If it's a sincere excuse it's fine

[dense nimbus]

idk I have a medical excuse for my lack of ECs but im afraid I didnt make it clear enough

[floral surge]

no one in my area has gotten a yale interview ugh

[spring ravine]

not end of world but still uphill battle :(

[floral surge]

no one from my county has gotten into yale in YEARS

we have a yale curse

😔

[vivid viper]

Everyone at my school gatekeeps so hard idk if they got an interview

But the girl I know that got in last year had one

[floral surge]

Nah over here bitches brag

[edgy marsh]

also i think this jstu means the AOs just spam "request interview" on like every applicant

[vivid viper]

The val was bragging about his MIT deferral 😭

Like bro they defer everyone

[floral surge]

Plus there’s a line between elite school applicants and ppl who don’t care so it’s kinda a small circle

[floral surge]

LMFAOO I SAW SOMEONE BRAG AB HARVARD

[spring ravine]

feel like the only deferral ppl can actually brag abt is stanny

lmao

[edgy marsh]

cmu not releasing their defer rate drives me crazy

[vivid viper]

Stanford deferral can very likely become an acceptance yeah

[edgy marsh]

like do u defer a lot or a little 😭

[floral surge]

someone needs to truly take away my email from me bc the way my delusional ass is checking for a likely letter from any school every hour is insane

[edgy marsh]

let me ask chatgpt

[floral surge]

most schools don’t release their deferral rate

[glad dagger]

LMAO mood

[edgy marsh]

mf

[muted grotto]

no fr or an interview request

but make it several times an hour

[floral surge]

FR I want a yale interview now…

[glad dagger]

I check promotions too in case my likely gets lost there 🙄🙄

[floral surge]

SAME

HELP

[edgy marsh]

guys just dont check ur email for an entire day

and then itll be there

trust

[vivid viper]

My heart stops every time I get an email

[regal relic]

i get like 100 spam emails per hours

[glad dagger]

Only institution that cares abt me is the New York Times 😔

[muted grotto]

i have my gmail set to where i don’t have a promotion tab like everything goes in one inbox so i don’t miss anything 😭

[regal relic]

frrrr

[muted grotto]

my gmail app doesn’t send me notifications for some reason so it’s like a fun surprise every time i open the app

[vivid viper]

Kate I fucked up I was researching fernando's sister and I pressed on her linkedin while I was logged in I hope she doesn't have premium 💀

[spring ravine]

I just occasionally type in the colleges name into my search inbox to check if I missed anything

[regal relic]

yes

[muted grotto]

LMAOOOO

also why were you researching his sister bruh

[vivid viper]

JUST CURIOSITY

[glad dagger]

Gonna start typing “likely” in order to manifest it show up fr

[queen glade]

is a 1570 okay

for yale

or should i have resatcit again

🫠🫠🫠

[glad dagger]

No it’s too low it has to be at least a 1700

[vivid viper]

Is this satire

[queen glade]

yeah

[spring ravine]

Hi bautimar! I am a Yale Admissions Officer and I was wondering if you would have time to chat over the phone about your application. Thanks!

[queen glade]

my sat is decent but my

GPA

isn’t it

predicted 40/42 ib 💀💀

[vivid viper]

3.8 😩

[wind cipher]

yalke

[vivid viper]

God forbid anything below a 4.0 graces the eyes of a Yale AO

[glad dagger]

Oof nah too low

[muted grotto]

what is the interview request email subject line

[queen glade]

bro half the kids i know applying have 44/45 predictions

like how am i supposed to compete

i look incompetent

[glad dagger]

40/42 but what score out of 45

43?

[spring ravine]

can u sneak into the admissions office and accept all of our apps rq

thanks

[glad dagger]

I’d literally sell my firstborn for that email

[wind cipher]

no i dont have that power

[spring ravine]

unacceptable!

[tranquil comet]

literally same

guys manifest with me

LIKELY LIKELY LIKELY LIKELY LIKELY LIKELY LIKELY LIKELY LIKELY

[wind cipher]

i might be biased

[muted grotto]

[glad dagger]

Is the food as good as it looks in that one girl’s TikToks

Y’all know the one I’m talking abt

[wind cipher]

[muted grotto]

[muted grotto]

apparently she works for yale hospitality or whatever so… unreliable narrator

[glad dagger]

Oof

[wind cipher]

the food was kinda mid today

[glad dagger]

I trusted her 😔

[wind cipher]

but dinner has the potential to be really good

[muted grotto]

the girlies and i manifesting “yale interview invitation” in our inbox

[glad dagger]

Manifesting that in your inbox @muted grotto

[muted grotto]

ty

[glad dagger]

And @uncut hazel too

[muted grotto]

i’m not stressing over it but. it certainly wouldn’t hurt

[glad dagger]

I’m sure you’ll get one soon they’re clearly still rolling

[burnt sentinel]

Hopefully 🙏

[hollow kite]

Omg no bc @uncut hazel I just read abt what u said abt ur friends interview and that sounds HORRENDOUS

yet I’m still MEGA manifesting an interview omg PLEASEEEEE I JUST WANT YHE EMAIL PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[uncut hazel]

🙏

[uncut hazel]

PLEASEEEEEE I WANT ONEEEEE

[uncut hazel]

yeah 😭 although he made it through and he's done everything he wrote down so hopefully he gets in now!! they must have been impressed to have been so suspicious lol

[jovial tinsel]

Same for me with Dartmouth, I live in Toronto and there are a lot of alumni around and they gave me a senior interview like 4 days ago 🗿🗿🗿

[uncut hazel]

me and my bestay in yale > manifesting bc he's an econ dude and i'm more of a cs guy and together we'd be UNSTOPPABLE

[glad dagger]

Did anyone have a senior interview already like what should I expect 😭

[jovial tinsel]

I think senior interviews are good signs if you live in populated area and if you get it very late

[jovial tinsel]

Mine is tomorrow

Ill tell you how it goes lol

[glad dagger]

Please do

And good luck!

[jovial tinsel]

🗿🗿🫡

Thx bro

[glad dagger]

Welll I live in Uruguay so it’s probably just cuz of lack of alumni

If it’s a good sign it’s cuz I’m intl but idk if yale pre-screens interviews for intls

[jovial tinsel]

Does thé interviewer come from ur area

[glad dagger]

Nope

She’s from Princeton actually lol 💀

[jovial tinsel]

🗿🗿

The dart senior who interviews me literally told me which questions he will ask and asked me to prep

I was like 🫣

[glad dagger]

Omg bruh I’d love that

What kinda questions is he asking

[muted grotto]

@edgy marsh

[jovial tinsel]

He told me to think of one academic, extracurricular, personal stories to tell him

And why did I choose Dartmouth

[glad dagger]

Ooh @edgy marsh how’d it go

[jovial tinsel]

And think of questions I can ask him taking advantage of him being an in school senior

[glad dagger]

Oh okay that sounds p chill

I’m sure you’ll kill it

[jovial tinsel]

🤲

Need to kill this one

Cuz i had good essays for Dartmouth so hopefully interview can push me a bit

Also guys

How do you guys respond to the question from interview asking you which other schools u applied?

[glad dagger]

Why do they ask that 😭

[jovial tinsel]

My Princeton interviewer asked me that and I just talked about some small schools and local schools

[regal relic]

doesn’t happen

[jovial tinsel]

🗿

[glad dagger]

I saw the Harvard interview handbook and AOs explicitly ask them not to do that

[regal relic]

just say ur not comfortable talking about it

[jovial tinsel]

It does

My friends Harvard interviewer asked that

[glad dagger]

I don’t get why they do it

[regal relic]

“i’d like to keep my interview focused on yale, please”

[glad dagger]

Or when they ask if X school is your top choice

[jovial tinsel]

My Princeton interviewer asked if I had interviews with other schools lol

[jovial tinsel]

Lol 👌

[jovial tinsel]

I don’t think they will ask that

[glad dagger]

In the interview handbook Harvard says it’s completely pointless to ask either of those questions

So idk why interviewers do it

I guess curiosity but still

[jovial tinsel]

Yeah idk

@cosmic cedar’s Dartmouth alumni interviewer was swearing in interview lmao

[glad dagger]

But yeah if they were to ask me that I’d say something similar to Calypso’s answer

[glad dagger]

Lmaooo dang

[jovial tinsel]

Detroit vibez

[glad dagger]

What’s ur top choice rn?

[muted grotto]

i’ve heard some people suggest saying “i’d prefer to just focus on (insert school) during this interview if that’s okay” but that seems forceful idk i’d be scared of the interviewer getting pissy 😭

[jovial tinsel]

I wanna go to Dartmouth actually cuz i don’t want an environment that is too try hard lol

I rea Harvard got deferred

[muted grotto]

oh that’s exactly what calypso said

[jovial tinsel]

Yeah I’m scared too

So I’d just be honest lol

🥵🥵

[glad dagger]

Darty sounds fun

I’m too much of a city guy for that tho

[muted grotto]

if i got asked id just keep it very vague i think

[jovial tinsel]

Skiing everyday 🗿🗿

[glad dagger]

But sounds chill

[jovial tinsel]

Same I just say u of Toronto cuz I’m from Toronto

[glad dagger]

“Mostly local universities” LMAO

[jovial tinsel]

^

😌

[glad dagger]

My top choice changes depending on which college is giving me attention at that time

Now that yale gave me an interview it’s back on top 😋

[jovial tinsel]

😝

[summer pier]

bay area doesnt have many yale alumni so it makes sense

[jovial tinsel]

😇😇

My area has a lot of Dartmouth interviews and my friends all got Dartmouth interviews very early

I thought that I wasn’t getting one until the senior interview came late

🗿🗿

[hollow kite]

Lmaoooo I’m stressed they would do that to me even tho my ECs aren’t amaze 😭😭😭😭

[edgy marsh]

30 min

They didn’t ask why yale

Mostly abt academics

[hollow kite]

What counts as very late lol

[edgy marsh]

Uhh

[uncut hazel]

😭 i'd take anything as long as i get an interview-

[uncut hazel]

tbh borderlines sometimes get interviews like a week before decision day so hear me out if we get interviews late maybeeeee that's an okay sign?

[edgy marsh]

This is all I rmb

[hollow kite]

Nah frrr

[edgy marsh]

They asked why cs

They asked tell me abt urself / how r u doing todau

[uncut hazel]

seems kinda swag ngl

[edgy marsh]

Least favorite and most favorite class

[hollow kite]

Yeah you and me are just auto admits they gotta send out those interviews as late as possible 🤝🤝

[edgy marsh]

What kind of community service do u do

[uncut hazel]

yes 100% 🙏 🙏 easy peasy it's so true we're baso the golden girls already

[edgy marsh]

Influential person in ur life

Hobbies / what do u do for fun

[uncut hazel]

OH lmao

[jovial tinsel]

3 weeks later than my friends

[uncut hazel]

i thought that was just a question in general lol

[edgy marsh]

is there anything else you’d like to tell me

[jovial tinsel]

From same school

[edgy marsh]

Then u ask questions

[uncut hazel]

that sounds like a pretty chill interview ngl!

[edgy marsh]

Lmaoo 😭

[muted grotto]

i want yale senior interview :(

[hollow kite]

It’s fineee I’m not expecting an interview till late March 💅

[uncut hazel]

fr we're just that borderline

they're considering whether we're auto admits or auto degree grads 🕺 finna grant the diploma immediately

[hollow kite]

We’re so borderline and so auto admit that they don’t even bother sending a likely 🙏

[uncut hazel]

exactly they just know we'd accept it either way yale do be like that

[spring ravine]

I'm afraid I have bad news for both if you

it's none of what you said

in fact

you were so good....

[regal relic]

i want a

yale interview

[spring ravine]

that they YIELD PROTECTED YOU

[uncut hazel]

NOOOOOOOOOOO

[muted grotto]

see yale interview was like not even on my mind until now cause i was like oh there’s still a ton of time

[uncut hazel]

really off topic but

[hollow kite]

it’s fine I’m currently asleep and having a nightmare and you just made sure that I knew that I was in my nightmare x

[uncut hazel]

yk bhad bhabie

[muted grotto]

but like… there isn’t a ton of time anymore!

[uncut hazel]

like the cash me outside girl

[native rover]

I haven’t even gotten an interview request 😭

[uncut hazel]

why's her music kinda fire

[hollow kite]

Yeah 😭

[glad dagger]

Ooh okay that sounds pretty chill

Thanks!

[uncut hazel]

like it lowkey slaps

[glad dagger]

Hopefully it goes well

[hollow kite]

One month 😍

(And a week)

[uncut hazel]

pls gimme a yale interview i need to get in to live my dream of being a connecticut man through and through

[glad dagger]

Y’all are so good they’re just waiting for you to request to interview them

[muted grotto]

people who say specifically what questions they got asked during their interview to help people about to have theirs will go to heaven

[edgy marsh]

mostly it just branches off after they ask why major depending on ur answer and u just hop from ec to ec

[glad dagger]

Ask them why you should even attend yale

[uncut hazel]

LOL

lowkey i did that with some of my interviewers

it's a good strat 💢 gets them thinking

unless they say something basic like they attended for the prestige lol

[regal relic]

you don’t want to be a CT man

[uncut hazel]

pfff it's like the most liveable state

except like ten of them

[regal relic]

you don’t

[uncut hazel]

but other than those!

[native rover]

If you don’t get a interview request does that mean your rejected?😭😀

[regal relic]

no

[uncut hazel]

nah

plenty of peeps get in w/o one

[glad dagger]

Please get this man an interview asap he’s going insane 😭😭

[uncut hazel]

it's just that having one is a good opportunity to sell yourself more

[uncut hazel]

NAH BUT LIKE

i randomly listened to gucci flip flops for the first time in four years or sumn

it kinda slaps icl

😭 maybe i am going insane

[edgy marsh]

When are they releasing AO Simulator on Roblox

[spring ravine]

I wonder how true the consensus is that either you're either in two groups:

1. You're borderline/ at least have a chance so they interview u
2. You're autoreject/autoaccept so u get no interview

[regal relic]

i’m autoaccept

[glad dagger]

How cracked do you have to be to be autoaccept

[regal relic]

3: there’s no availability in ur area

[glad dagger]

Idk how true that is nowadays cuz you can always do virtual

[spring ravine]

ok but let's assume you live in a decently populated area

[glad dagger]

Like there’s no one near me

[spring ravine]

my princeton interviewer lives right near me and they still wanted to do virtual

💀

[glad dagger]

Lmaooo

They wanted to keep those pjs on

[floral surge]

Guys when you conceptually think about we are all teenagers that decided to care so much about college that we dream about a building that’s hundereds of years old and it was so bad that we decided to join a server on discord that is created just to talk about the concept of college

Like that’s so sad.

[lost gorge]

i wanna hate on this but it’s so true

but over the summer i’m going to

[vivid viper]

Sigh

It's always yale

Apparently my friend's interviewer was a Trump supporter and tried to pull a reverse racism card on her

[primal gorge]

Ay you got 20 acceptances though

[primal gorge]

uh

[vivid viper]

Yeahh

[night plank]

bro 💀 she should report that to admissions tbh

like that’s unprofessional

and super weird 😭

[vivid viper]

I'm gonna advise her to do that

[regal relic]

did he discriminate against her?

[vivid viper]

Like they were talking about the 2020 Tulsa tiktok prank on trumps rally
Then the interviewer asked if she would take part if Trump was black or something

[lost gorge]

Nice nice that’s rly cool

[night plank]

yikes 😭

[lost gorge]

Crazy

My Yale interviewer legit said “bullshit” when talking about conservative reporting on Yale’s supposed woke culture

🫣

[vivid viper]

Agreed

[regal relic]

😭

[night plank]

yeah she probably should have tried to avoid politics but what the interview said next is soooo out of left field and inappropriate to ask

crazy

where is yale finding these people

i hope she got out of that interview quickly yikeeesss

[lost gorge]

facts

Interviews scary enough alr

[vivid viper]

The interview ended approximately 5 min after that question

I assume she tried to leave asap

[regal relic]

you’re boutta meet them at yale

😭

[night plank]

idk i liked mine but that’s because she looked like my mother. sorry. freudian slip.

[regal relic]

i’m ngl all of the yale alum i’ve met have been VERY questionable

[vivid viper]

Nah fr

[night plank]

im not going to yale be fr

even if i do get in 80k? not happpeenningggg

[vivid viper]

That's why there's aid lol

[lost gorge]

Rly? I’ve met a few and they’re always the sweetest ppl

[regal relic]

the one yale alum who TA’d that I knew taught us how to play poker and then sat down and got on a crypto gambling site with 5 tables open and lost like $100

[lost gorge]

Every single one

[regal relic]

😭

lmfao

[lost gorge]

bruh

Lmfao

[night plank]

i don’t qualify for aid haha im just above the line

[regal relic]

this was at SSP

[vivid viper]

Oh lol

[night plank]

sounds fantastic

[regal relic]

oh yeah he was dating the MIT TA

😭

and it was suspicious as fuck

[night plank]

forbidden love

[regal relic]

like he’d sneak into the girls’ dorms area

😭

it’s ok we still love him

[night plank]

man was down bad. down criminal

[regal relic]

he’s becoming a quant rn i think

i think ur fine

i applied t/o

but your grades have to be good

going t/o doesn’t make your ecs matter more but it does make your grades matter more

[muted grotto]

didn’t you already ask this

💀

it’s not

[regal relic]

second time’s the charm

[night plank]

bro fr atp just open google

[silent aspen]

literally why do you even care anyways?

if you want to go to yale then apply

LOL

why are we trying to estimate chances for yale as an international

either you apply or you don't

[regal relic]

gollum went test optional and got into caltech

[spring ravine]

whaaaaat

[regal relic]

yea they spent time together in her room

and it was sus as fuck

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-monkey-puppet-meme-awkward-gif-15268759

yeah but he still didn’t submit his test score

[spring ravine]

I mean if they're datin it's their business but sneakin into the girls dorms is crazy

[edgy marsh]

Someone just got a yale likely

[regal relic]

it was me

[edgy marsh]

@tropic venture congratulations!!!!

[lost gorge]

Congrats!!!!

[tame rapids]

wait you got a yale likely fr?

[nimble lance]

have all the yale likelies been stem based this year

[regal relic]

no

[tame rapids]

well you're an autoaccept anyways

[tame rapids]

you got a likely?

[regal relic]

true

[nimble lance]

no

just curious

[tropic venture]

im not!

[tropic venture]

ty!

[tame rapids]

congrats!

[nimble lance]

oh really?

what are you planning to major in?

[muted grotto]

congrats!!! just read you got rejected ed1 and 2, just goes to show how random the process is and how everything works out

[vivid viper]

Me when I got an email and thought it could be a yale likely but it was in fact my robertsons rejection 💀

[tropic venture]

political science!

[edgy marsh]

Alr got the yale ‘27 😭

[tropic venture]

hell yeah

[edgy marsh]

😎

[nimble lance]

i see

well congrats bro

living the dream

[tropic venture]

so random

never in

1000000 years expected this

especially after getting rejected from washu and uchicago

[steady edge]

That’s sick, you deserve it

Enjoy New Haven for us

[silent aspen]

their loss lol

[muted grotto]

me checking my email right after seeing rafi get a yale likely (i obviously did not receive one)

[vivid viper]

how you still alive and well rn ? I would've had a stroke and passed away happily at the age of 17 😭 😭

really really big congrats !!

[vivid viper]

I literally didn't even get an interview like what am I thinking 💀

I like to live in delusion

[muted grotto]

do you mind me asking if you’re an international student?

[muted grotto]

SO ME 😭

nothin in spam either… perhaps they just had a sudden power outage and the email failed to send 😇

[vivid viper]

i was just greeted by an ohio state brunch invite lol

[vivid viper]

They're handwriting the note it's going to come in the mail ❤️

[rare jacinth]

when did you apply?

[rare jacinth]

also ilysm for saying thsi you just helped my calm down sm got rejected from my top choice and it’s made me so on edge for every school

[tropic venture]

oh no yes i did. almost fainted in in front of my parents

[tropic venture]

domestic

[tropic venture]

october

[rare jacinth]

oh super early damn

[edgy marsh]

was it just a normal email or phone call or smt

[tropic venture]

email

[rare jacinth]

anyways congrats bro you deserve the world now you get to brag about getting a likely next year

[tiny hull]

see you on campus!!

(or bdd if you're coming)

[vivid viper]

showwwww

[hearty cipher]

yale needs to hurry and give me my email

[queen glade]

42 bc it’s predicted and our school didn’t bother giving us EE press

[jovial tinsel]

Congrats bro, HUGE 🎊

[floral surge]

are u FGIL + did u submit sat

[nimble lance]

whats FGIL

[floral surge]

First Gen low income

[jovial tinsel]

I feel like sat/act is still preferred

especially yale

they said that it's a good indicator of success lmao

intl without sat chances are dim

and I think in most cases no standardized test they kinda assume that you got a low score which is what happens in most cases

[rough python]

In the game episode there’s a mean girls series and in it both Cady and Regina want to get into yale but only one person per year has ever gotten into yale in the history of their high school

I played this like five years ago I don’t know how I remember this

[timber lance]

CONGRATSSSSSSSSS WAS THE YALE LIKELY OVER EMAIL OR DOES IT SHOW UP ON YOUR PORTAL

[muted grotto]

they said email

bro not you again.

youve asked this like 10 times easily

[edgy marsh]

is this the math research guy

[muted grotto]

there’s nothing else than can be said besides what has been said already

[nimble lance]

idk why i just found this so funny

[cosmic cedar]

lol yeah

bruv u seem to be extremely concerned abt this

can't be good for ur health

like u can't rlly do anything now

just relax lol

[jovial tinsel]

Then you might have a chance but there are so many intls who have all those

[jovial tinsel]

Yeah lol

I mean yeah

but for yale at least

they basically implicitly said that they want to see your test score

lol, they do they

[cosmic cedar]

i feel like they would've disqualified all scores then?

[jovial tinsel]

i mean at the stage for yale, u need every % chance to have a chance to get in

if two guys have similar stuff ofc they take the person with sat

lol

personally i took the ACT twice

and got the same questions

i think they reuse ACT tests for intls

[cosmic cedar]

bruv???

insane

ik on SAT the additional section

i always got the same quetsions

[jovial tinsel]

Yeah

[cosmic cedar]

but the ones on the acc test were never the same

[jovial tinsel]

my score went up so much

i took an act in gr 9

got like a 30

and took again last october

got 35

[cosmic cedar]

nice

[jovial tinsel]

💀

test

on the other hand, is just a checkbox, if you have a 1500+ u fine

maybe if u get very high like 1570ish it could give u a small boost

[tame tree]

true

[cosmic cedar]

i feel like they do value in ranges though

like i think sometimes 1550+ is like one group

tier 1

[muted grotto]

literally this happens every single time the SAT is administered internationally almost

[cosmic cedar]

and then like a tier below

[jovial tinsel]

no i dont think so

especially now they are optional

[muted grotto]

they’re not gonna assume everyone had access to a leaked test

[jovial tinsel]

if u have a 1500+ sat or a 34 or above act u fine

[tame tree]

i've usually heard that anything 1550+ is considered the same

[jovial tinsel]

^

yeah

[cosmic cedar]

sad. i got 1520

screwed up reading

alwyas the last passage lol

[jovial tinsel]

lol

[vivid viper]

is that a bad thing

[jovial tinsel]

ur still at median for yale

and most schools

it wouldnt affect u bro

[cosmic cedar]

prob not for internationals though

but anyways

imma wait

and see what happens lol

[jovial tinsel]

intls have low scores

i know people from india

lot of them have low scores

cuz they nit used to american english

[cosmic cedar]

oh yeah but like, everyone knows

indians are insane

at stem

and are troll at english

but in all seriousness

they usually do hv lower english scores

[jovial tinsel]

i mean if we dont get in it's def not cuz of sat

yeah

[cosmic cedar]

but insane other stuff

[cosmic cedar]

yeah thats a very small portion

[jovial tinsel]

😌

[cosmic cedar]

how r ur combo prayers going?

lol which math diety did our imo friend pray to and get in?

it was geo right

[slim wing]

Ayo @Indians and broadly South Asians (International), did y’all get an interview yet, or do you know if someone did 😭

[jovial tinsel]

EVAN orz

geo

i cant combo so i have to pray to the combo god

if theres 4 combos on USAMO like last year i dip 💀

[tame tree]

yea

everyone in my school and a neighbouring school got one

[slim wing]

Oh, wow, okay, where do you live, if you don't mind

[tame tree]

mumbai

its availability based this year

because i'm sure some of the applicants from my school who got in are not yale level 💀 in terms of stats and grades

either way unlikely they're considering all our applicants

[slim wing]

Oh gotcha

I’m from a tiny non-existing town, so I’ve just been anxious lmao

[tame tree]

yeah dw about it

[slim wing]

Thanks g, this definitely helps my dumass calm down a lil

[hushed rain]

Omfg I just submitted an empty art questionnaire

Like I didn't wanna submit a portfolio anymore

But the art questionnaire was on my portal

So I hit save or submit just to see what fields are required and maybe fill them latee

BUT NO FIELDS WERE REQUIRED

is it a big deal or will they know it's a mistake?

[spring ravine]

Auto rejected

Blacklisted from all other universities

Deported from the United States of America

Jettisoned off the face of the earth

Enjoy Mars

[hushed rain]

I ain't even there yet💀

[idle meadow]

they will also ask you to field taxes!

[opaque mauve]

I think you can email them and they'll reset the form for you

[cobalt olive]

I GOT CONTACTED FOR AN INTERVIEW TODAY

I THOUGHT I WAS DONE FOR

[cosmic cedar]

yoooo

[glad dagger]

yayy

[split rampart]

congratulationsss

[burnt sentinel]

This makes me hopeful 😩🙏💪💪🥰🥰😻😻🍑🍑🍑

[regal relic]

i think they're still going through apps rn

I don't think they've hit committee yet

[radiant oyster]

yh they will hit in march i think

[burnt sentinel]

Somebody said they are done by the end of February

Not much time left

[hearty cipher]

so why wait until march 30th to release

[regal relic]

no clue then idk

[regal relic]

last minute decisions

• gives finaid people more time to finish finaid

theyve gotta make like 60k finaid packages

[hearty cipher]

o ok

while they’re at it they should go ahead and admit me and give me like 95% of my cost covered

thank u

[regal relic]

same

[hearty cipher]

so if we didn’t get an interview r we screwed or no

[regal relic]

no

[hearty cipher]

bcuz i didn’t spend $80 in vain

[regal relic]

could be no availability in your area

for example with me all of my interviewers have been either out of state or not in my area

[hearty cipher]

o ok

someone from my school got an REA interview

[regal relic]

but i still got mit harvard princeton and dartmouth

[regal relic]

hmm

[hearty cipher]

it’s whatever

[regal relic]

could still be availability

or also if they arent super borderline on you

they typically dont request it

[fervent grail]

Interviews are based on availability

A few friends of mine who aren't ivy material got an interview

Aren't ivy material as in like. 3.1 and 1350

[regal relic]

ohhhh lol

i was about to say

[fervent grail]

Yeah so ur goof

Good

[burnt sentinel]

I’m talking about interviews

[scarlet oar]

Did anyone here apply from the UK? I have a question for you

[lost spire]

W

[torn igloo]

I did

[muted grotto]

likelies are rolling

[edgy marsh]

but stem* likelies are over

[stable current]

it seems to be for really specific stem stuff tho

[regal relic]

makes me not want to go anymore

ik someone who applied for my exact major with similar stats and got it

chances i get in are probably 0

[remote flame]

agh these likelies hurt as a yale defer

[regal relic]

yeah I really don’t think they would’ve not sent these out to most of the niche stem majors

[rare jacinth]

honestly i forgot i applied as a stem i thought i put econ as my first one but oh well

[regal relic]

u think they could’ve seen my interest in public policy too and decided i’m not rlly stem

most of my essays were mixed

[rare jacinth]

mine too mine were about studying both econ and bio

we will see later

best not to fret

[regal relic]

feel like a reject already but we roll

[rare jacinth]

i know i’m a reject 😭😭 but maybe my ao saw something in me

and felt bad about me having going to go through all of highschool with undiagnosed learning disorders

[regal relic]

i posted my prediction poll on chance me and i’m surprised im not being brutally dismembered

[rare jacinth]

chance me is true hell

satan could never create something as bad

[regal relic]

yea this is actually kinda crazy

so far it’s 50/50ish

[rare jacinth]

if my uw was higher i would feel much more confident i definitely feel like it’s the weakest part of my application but i tried to explain to most schools my situation and how now i’m actually medicated so i’m doing a lot better

[edgy marsh]

is it still up

[muted grotto]

idk if i should post mine on chanceme last time i did a regular chanceme i got pooped on

[regal relic]

my % so far of acceptance:
Harvard: 28.6
Yale: 57.1
Princeton: 14.3
MIT: 42.9
Caltech: 42.9
Northwestern: 71.4
Cornell: 71.4
Dartmouth: 42.9
JHU: 28.6
Northeastern: 100

lmao

[regal relic]

[regal relic]

[edgy marsh]

aight

[muted grotto]

that’s fine lmao you can do it based off whatever

[rare jacinth]

when you literally cure cancer yet get rejected from dartmouth

[regal relic]

just know that my friend took your spot with the 1390 he submitted

[rare jacinth]

do you guys think harvard would accept someone who is a noble prize winner if they have like a 0 gpa

i submitted my 33 😭 tell your friend that they’re on my hitlist

[regal relic]

1390 > cancer

[rare jacinth]

but congratúlate them for me

[regal relic]

💀 will do

nah he’s cracked i’m proud of him

bad thing is i have only 1 acceptance so far so i’m still coping whenever i get joked about

[rare jacinth]

i only have only viable option which is umich but i got into osu with a full ride and iu direct admit kelley but the only school i wanna go to is umich and idk if i’m even in their business school

one^

but as long as we go to school who cares

(we care)

[olive topaz]

this has got to be cap

[regal relic]

wym

you can do my poll too if you want

[regal relic]

dud e both of those are awesome

[rare jacinth]

can i

[regal relic]

sure

[rare jacinth]

yeah im happy with them but i was rlly hoping for a small private school

YAYAYAY

[digital zodiac]

77% of chancemers said I'd get into UVA and i got rejected 💀

[regal relic]

yea i mean absolutely everyone i know irl said i would get into gt then i got flat rejected

[stable current]

same my post was overwhelmingly positive

it was actually crazy

i was expecting to get absolutely flamed

[regal relic]

yeah exactly

[muted grotto]

wtf why did i get the mean ones

[dawn bobcat]

no way yall use chance me and expect it to be accurate

prob just seeking academic validation

[stable current]

it’s definitely not something i based everything on since it’s still a gamble but it’s nice to know!

for me personally bc i’m first gen and i genuinely didn’t know anything ab college reqs

[regal relic]

i had no clue about anything college apps until a2c

[digital zodiac]

nvm it's even crazier

even my friend who got in (also got into Princeton REA) was like wtf

[floral surge]

SAME so many ppl thought I’d get into wharton ED but I got flat out rejecyed

rejected

but also some guy from my school got in with better stats so it made me feel better 😭

[digital zodiac]

ok but the scattergram was on my side too 😭

[floral surge]

NOOOO

it’s ok college is a lottery

[digital zodiac]

yeah I'm fine i got into mich

[floral surge]

you’ll end some place better 🙏🏼

[digital zodiac]

so like lol whatever

[floral surge]

yes exactky

[digital zodiac]

i wanted to go to mich more anyways bc of their PPE program soooo

[regal relic]

yield protected

[eager hollow]

chance me is a waste of time

how do ppl "rate” their lor’s which they haven’t even read lmao

yale admissions also has a podcast where they bashed on the subreddit

it’s kinda sad chanceme is one of the ways seniors have to cope through the college process

[edgy marsh]

Fr

People should just do physics and calc instead

Use physics as therapy.

Feeling an emotion?

Take a practice test to distract yourself!!!

[eager hollow]

i have my yale interview thursday

kind of winging it

march 30th is getting closer

[regal relic]

no

evil

tf

why not practice physics

and chemistry

set something on fire

practice combusting

[tame rapids]

that calms my nerves by a lot, thanks!

[silent aspen]

to where?

[olive topaz]

UVA can make quite the upsets

for some reason they be the college rejecting kids who get into top schools

[tame rapids]

almost everyone said I'd be cornell autoaccept and i wasnt even deferred💀

[olive topaz]

💀

at least u arent my 1580 4.5 w gpa friend with good ECs and rejected from VT instate 💀

[night plank]

okay you guys need to stop asking your friends if you’re going to get into college because they will lie to you 💀

[tame rapids]

chat gpt said my cornell app was 990/1000

[olive topaz]

people deadass thought he was joking around

[regal relic]

ur intl ur not an autoaccept :(

[tame rapids]

chatgptL

[regal relic]

it sucks to hear but unless you are 100x isef

nobody is an autoaccept

[tame rapids]

ofc, but the 2022 me was delusional x 100

[regal relic]

same

[olive topaz]

i thought i was gonna be autoadmit to ivy league

[night plank]

well i guess the self esteem is nice

honestly probably better to have confidence rather than give up

[regal relic]

me when deferred

[tame rapids]

r/me_irl (a while back)

[regal relic]

wym i am an autoaccept

[olive topaz]

uva held my back tho

W uva

[glad dagger]

Freshman me saying “when I get into Yale” instead of if 🤡
