Yale (2022-2023)

[glad dagger]

kinda hooked but that's p much it

[short turtle]

pleaseeeee

wdym u hooked

[glad dagger]

like URM and stuff

but I doubt it matters much for intls

[primal gorge]

yale auto reject

lmao

i should j withdraw 😭

[spring shell]

I don’t think intls can be URM

[rugged crow]

That is gonna ease the competition for us

Nah you shouldn't tbh

[short turtle]

yea at least idt it matters

like if ur from Europe or Asia ur not URM

[glad dagger]

yeah only thing maybe that I come from a country that's not really big in the college app process like India or China

idk

I doubt the docs request means much

South America 😭

[short turtle]

If you’re from South America… hmm idk

OH LMFAO

[kindred zodiac]

🤣

[short turtle]

yeah idk how that works out for u i think u can do it i knew a South American international student last year who got into a rly good school

but her family was rich as fuck

[glad dagger]

I wouldn't say "as fuck" but we're well off

I did apply for aid tho

[primal gorge]

Bruv

Lol

I’m auto reject fs

after cwru waitlist

[glad dagger]

doesn't cwru yield protect like crazy tho

[primal gorge]

I haven’t gotten in anywhere

and I didn’t get a single yale interview

So I’m assuming auto reject

[rugged crow]

To cheer you up I got rejected by CWRU. But I never completed their app and it's still incomplete

[primal gorge]

I put in so much effort for it

And still waitlist

[rugged crow]

No interview is not an auto reject

[primal gorge]

but it’s an ivy

And based on my results

And stats

I’m not getting in like tf

No way

[rugged crow]

They were emailing me (and my parents) like crazy to complete their app

[glad dagger]

you never know the process is so random

[glad dagger]

THEY SPAM SO MUCH DUDE

[rugged crow]

💯

[glad dagger]

literally sent me an email like 3am yesterday

[tame rapids]

me but 3 state schools i randomly applied to

[glad dagger]

and I have a 2h diff with them not like I'm in asia or smth

[rugged crow]

Yeah ik its irritating. My father legit said why is this random university emailing me just tell them to shut up

[primal gorge]

College apps fucked me over

[glad dagger]

I should withdraw

[primal gorge]

I should withdraw Yale

No way i’m gonna get in

[tame rapids]

i emailed U of Southern Mississippi asking them to cancel my app cuz i havent set up portal yet and im too lazy to withdraw, the stopped after that

[primal gorge]

I’ll be able to divert the sadness then

[rugged crow]

I'm too lazy to withdraw

[glad dagger]

stay strong just a few more days

[primal gorge]

these next few days are gonna be the worst

i alr know

[glad dagger]

I can't with their spam and not like I'm going

their aid was ass

[primal gorge]

so true

[rugged crow]

Lol I applied to a few places so that they stop emailing me and some gave me insane scholarships lol

But obv I'm not going

[muted grotto]

10 days

[primal gorge]

10 days til d-day

[rugged crow]

Ahh mid school anyways

[rugged crow]

[primal gorge]

Fr

Bro I’m gonna have actual depression on ivy day

[primal gorge]

close to the end

if disappointment

of**

at the beginning of this whole thing

[muted grotto]

i’ve lost hope for all my ivy apps except cornell so like… hey!!

[primal gorge]

i had hope

[tame rapids]

me reading every sentence and picturing how good of a opening that'd be for a college supp

[primal gorge]

i’ve lost hope for all

[trail arch]

did u tet cornell likely

[rugged crow]

Dw about it. A college acceptance/rejection doesn't define a person

[tame rapids]

yall started off wit hope?

[rugged crow]

It's random as f

[muted grotto]

😐 no

[primal gorge]

not much

[glad dagger]

yeah fr never had hope in the first place 💀

[primal gorge]

i hate college apps

it’s such a scam

[trail arch]

the only thing keepin me going is the fin aid reddit conspiracy for yale

othee than that im a lost. ause

[primal gorge]

so much time effort money wasted down the drain not a single good school j don’t know where i’m going and it’s nearly the end

[glad dagger]

what conspiracy

[short turtle]

idk I had such hope

i. I’m feeling rly low right now

[hushed rain]

Did u get an interview

[primal gorge]

me too

[short turtle]

Haven’t felt this low since COVID started

[rugged crow]

I am hoping for Cornell tbh but idk I might get yield protected cough cough rejected

[short turtle]

i feel like I’ve wasted and been tricked the past four years

[primal gorge]

Lmao berkeley please

[primal gorge]

ME TOO

bro

same

[trail arch]

when they request more info/verified household information is checked it APPARENTLY means u have potential acceptance

[tame rapids]

corneLL
gl!

[primal gorge]

it all feels like a freaking waste

[trail arch]

no

[rugged crow]

Tyy gl to you too

[tame rapids]

they already tossed me into the bin back in dec😇

[glad dagger]

omg please let that be the case

HANDSOME DAN IM COMING FOR U

[rugged crow]

Bruh imagine the amount of hard work you have put into. Nothing is a waste

[trail arch]

cuz like someone said before ppl say when they make a fin aid pack for u it means they like uu

[primal gorge]

exactly

i wrote so many essays

sweat so hard in classes

ec’s

and no good schools

[short turtle]

Fr

[rugged crow]

Ohh shoot. Anyways why would one go to ithaca

[primal gorge]

waitlisted from freaking case which i showed so much di for

[short turtle]

please let me have been february autoaccept

[hushed rain]

I have that form but I got a senior interview in March so they like me but still wanted more info?

[short turtle]

WAIT NO THEN THAT WAS BEFORE MIDTERM UPDATE

PLEASE LET ME IN

[trail arch]

[tame rapids]

[short turtle]

PLEASE Yale doesn’t reject me cuz my grades dropped right

[hushed rain]

Lmao no way

[glad dagger]

weirdwire sweeping

[primal gorge]

aye add meee

And no

[trail arch]

idk tho cuz this is all not authentic info

[rugged crow]

You'll do better than many ivy students. Dw success is just around the corner. (Even I have not gotten into a great school so, working for IIT/Singapore)

[rugged crow]

Yeah def

[glad dagger]

The reddit post abt that B scared tf out of me

[muted grotto]

i really doubt this is true, don’t most people have the household info checked?

[primal gorge]

Man idk

[muted grotto]

mine was checked on 2/10

[primal gorge]

It feels shitty asf

[muted grotto]

that’s very early

[trail arch]

yea thats what im saying

[muted grotto]

…wdym

[short turtle]

Me too cuz I just got a B in physics lmfao

[rugged crow]

Docs do not mean nothing unless you get a request from an AO or fin aid officer

[short turtle]

Mine was around a similar time

[tame rapids]

i got b in chem

[glad dagger]

thankfully I alr graduated so what they see is what they get lol

[short turtle]

So I feel like it doesn’t mean anything

[muted grotto]

you’re saying household info checked means possible acceptance but most people have that

[primal gorge]

i didn’t get any of this

[short turtle]

Idk I saw counselors sent a report on my portal so I think they explained what happened

It shouldn’t actively hurt me

[rugged crow]

That Verif thing is not true cause a lot of people have it and Yale ain't accepting so many sudents

[trail arch]

no no im saying thats what people in the a2c subreddit r saying

[muted grotto]

exactly

ohh

oh they’re tripping tbh

[glad dagger]

I have it cuz another school asked for it, it's probably the case for a lot of ppl

[trail arch]

yea def

[rugged crow]

And no Astrology (tbh it only causes stress, anxiety, and disappointment)

[tame rapids]

yale trolling us after the 981640 yale interview kiss posts on every shitpost wednesday

[rugged crow]

[trail arch]

me when no interview

[rugged crow]

Does not mean anything

[hushed rain]

Yeah mine was around Feb 20 or sth I think it's pretty early

[trail arch]

hey kate we sweepin lacs this week

[tame rapids]

I already am a disappointment
yeah astrology boo

[rugged crow]

💀

Why do I have a slight ping

Also I killed the chat again

Lol

[muted grotto]

i only have colgate this week it’s like the only real lac i applied to

[hushed rain]

My ping at 3450:

[trail arch]

oh damn

WE SWEEPIN COLGATE

[hushed rain]

Another school ik I'm not getting into

Even if I do I can't go lol

[glad dagger]

colgate and northwestern this week then ivy day

[rugged crow]

WTF I just got pinged in all ivy+stanny chat and someone deleted it

[hushed rain]

Omg Northwestern is gonna hurt

[rugged crow]

Like why

Wait it is discord's problem

NVM

[glad dagger]

it'll mentally prepare me for ivy day

[primal gorge]

Brown rejection

Is going to hurt

[hushed rain]

I can't get 9 rejections in 1 day I physically can't

Like I'm so sensitive to rejection and this app cycle knows it

[frosty jay]

WHERE IS MY YALE LIKELY

LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME IN

[short turtle]

I’m not ready for four huge slams of disappointment

Every time they come in I shut down for a day

[rugged crow]

Why did you ping me??

[primal gorge]

Mood

[rugged crow]

@tame rapids

[primal gorge]

I literally

Can’t function

[hushed rain]

Omg same

[tame rapids]

hey what happened

[rugged crow]

Discord shows you pinged me

[hushed rain]

Gaslighting 10/10 💀

[rugged crow]

💀

[tame rapids]

[rugged crow]

Wtf is wrong with Discord

[muted grotto]

[hushed rain]

No he did

🕊️

[nova frost]

i got waitlisted cwru and got yale interview

[autumn crater]

crwu yield protect is crazy tho

[tiny crest]

did you apply ppsp

[faint sun]

Does interview matter ?

Cause I’m not a competitive applicant but I got one ?

[dense nimbus]

For yale I think it is sometimes a good indicator cus they give it to applicants they need more info on

How do you know you are not competitive

[faint sun]

Test optional only ec is working at Walmart and nhs no awards

[nova frost]

i was deferred fjrst tho and write LOCI

[nova frost]

ppsp?

[tiny crest]

cwru's bsmd program

[nova frost]

nope just regular for like poli sci

[tiny crest]

hmm thats weird

[nova frost]

i also got waitlisted 2 more places and rejected one so far so idek

[tiny crest]

i know a lot of ppsp people got waitlisted cause they knew only reason ppl applied to cwru was cause of ppsp, like me lol

[queen glade]

lowkey my first choice, so just hoping i get into yale

[sly fossil]

uhhh very unlikely

not sure if it is even possible

[queen glade]

^^

[sly fossil]

anyone getting a likely letter RD would have been accepted REA

[queen glade]

dude yale is so cool

wouldn’t u agree

@sly fossil

[sly fossil]

ehh it's okay

[queen glade]

where r u

studying

[sly fossil]

I go to yale😭

[queen glade]

yummy

i’m jealous

can u put in a good word for me

i love the school

i have since the 6th grade

[sly fossil]

I don't think that's how it works haha

[queen glade]

sure it does! nepo baby atw

[sly fossil]

loool and then there's me wishing i went to a huge public school instead

[sly fossil]

id probably get excommed for trying

[queen glade]

can u adopt me so i have legacy status

[spare stratus]

why?

[queen glade]

that would work

[queen glade]

wait what, i thoight private was better

[short turtle]

it depends

on how able u r to make the most of opportunities

[sly fossil]

social life mostly, yale is only a party school irt to harvard or princeton lmao

[queen glade]

USC or UCLA which is better

[short turtle]

and the standards are so high

[short turtle]

did u get accepted to both

[queen glade]

wait is it the worst or best social life

[short turtle]

i have no clue tho

[queen glade]

accepted USC wld UCLA, but my friend got both

[short turtle]

do you like the party life is the q

[queen glade]

and doesn’t know which one to pick

[short turtle]

Holy shit congrats

[queen glade]

i am the party life

[sly fossil]

better than those two but not good compared to like, an actual big public like UDub

[queen glade]

i got waitlosted UCLA but my friend got both i’m so jealous

[short turtle]

everyone is eating so well 😭😭😭😭 yale let it be my turn

[sly fossil]

or schools with party cultures like USC

[short turtle]

Why are you jealous you got into USC

[queen glade]

go trojans

fight on

[sly fossil]

campus looks like shit though

disneyland looking ass

[queen glade]

LOL

[queen glade]

USC village looks charming

it’s not uni campus tho

[sly fossil]

It literally looks like disneyland

[steel stag]

ucla >>>>

[sly fossil]

it's genuinely got some of the worst scale ive seen of any modern gothic building

[short turtle]

honestly I thought yale looked rly ugly when I went to visit

the purposefully molding look is. Not cute

[queen glade]

nah im not hacving this slander

[queen glade]

im sleeping throuhg every day and just going to class

[steel stag]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ucla/comments/11w9517/as_a_usc_student_fuk_usc/ cmon usc students themselves are shitting on the school

[queen glade]

im so becoming a fratboy if i go there

[queen glade]

im not there yet i will not slander it

let me live my dream

[steel stag]

also i got deferred usc and i got into ucla so ucla will always have my heart

[stable current]

i keep getting waitlisted by my schools im so nervous for yale

[queen glade]

im not surprised tbf

preferring UCLA over USC

[stable current]

i should’ve done EA

[queen glade]

what a weirdo

USC is better

(im mad because UCLA waitlisted me)

my UC app was so ass tbf

i just recycled my common app essay for one of my UCPIQs lOL

[short turtle]

but now I worship yale cuz

[steel stag]

i'm gonna hate on the school unless i get in on fri ofc

then go trojans!

[queen glade]

friday dude

[short turtle]

Yooo bad fake architecture four years

[queen glade]

it feels so close

[steel stag]

aren't u alr in? what are u waiting for?

[dense nimbus]

practically it probably is

[sly fossil]

how so

[dense nimbus]

but i dont see why they would have a rule for themselves that they cant do it

Like again, if you win a nobel prize on january 20th after being deferred you're gonna get a likely Lmao

[short turtle]

the like. the fake old architecture

[sly fossil]

at least the Gothic revival is good

[short turtle]

They don’t have a rule but you’re just probably not the kind of person who’d get a Yale likely if you got deferred REA

[short turtle]

We can agree to disagree

I love everything else abt Yale but

goddamn

[lost gorge]

damn 😓

[dense nimbus]

Yeah thats why I said practically it is impossible

[lost gorge]

i thought it was the prettiest campus other than princeton

[dense nimbus]

but it just doesnt make sense to have a rule where you cant give likelies to deferred people

[short turtle]

why do I go for shit architecture lmfao disliked Princeton campus too but what are my top two huh

[dense nimbus]

that would never do anyone any favors

[lost gorge]

😭😭😭

[short turtle]

We have really opposite taste then

Did you hate Harvard

[lost gorge]

did not hâte but rly didn’t like either

[sly fossil]

I would disagree that it is even "fake", insofar that it actually follows much of the original architectural guides, materials and construction methods, fake architecture would not - which is what USC is doing

[lost gorge]

🤣 did u?

[sly fossil]

harvard is okay

it's a nice area

[short turtle]

okay but it’s fake aged, isn’t it? like they constructed a ton of the architecture to look older than it is

THATS what I don’t like. The actual style is beautiful

but why would you ruin it like that

Harvard in contrast looked rly rly clean. Everyone hates the campus and thinks it’s ugly for some reason but I ate it up lmfao

[sly fossil]

a lot of the buildings were acid washed to make them immediately look old, but the buildings would have aged in a similar fashion if they weren't acid washed and the campus would be barely different

they just would have looked a lot more clean back in the day

[muted grotto]

hydro did yale have a gingers run

for st pattys

[sly fossil]

[actually ill note there isn't a record of the buildings even being acid washed it's just assumed they were]

[sly fossil]

no bc spring break :(

[muted grotto]

sad…..

[short turtle]

.> idk I feel like the fact I can tell which ones were constructed to immediately look old is sort of telling

[sly fossil]

a lot of it is the type of construction material

stones ages more than brick

[short turtle]

i feel like it’s bad juju to be discussing openly what I dislike abt Yale in this channel so I’ll stop replying

[queen glade]

yeah

i am

but like

[short turtle]

but. hahahaha i rly said I don’t care how picturesque the campus looks,,, Yale Princeton i SIMP

[queen glade]

decision weekend feels so soon

[sly fossil]

this very unassuming building is yales oldest

[short turtle]

It rly does

[muted grotto]

yale has much worse breaks than harvard right

like in terms of length

[sly fossil]

uhhhhh idt so

[short turtle]

and it is beautiful!!!

[lost gorge]

it’s smack dab halfway through my spring break 🥹

1st half anxious

[short turtle]

Kate you’re 7-0???? Wow you must be cracked

[sly fossil]

harvard doesn't get a week for Thanksgiving like we do

[lost gorge]

2nd half probably sad

lmao

[queen glade]

how wonderful. this lokks like it belongs to a man named bartholomew hamish montgomery

but you can call him barty

[short turtle]

Wait Kate you got swarth then?

[sly fossil]

I LOVE THOSE TIKTOKS

barty my boy

[muted grotto]

not really lmao they’ve been safeties targets and a low reach

[muted grotto]

no i didn’t apply there

[queen glade]

SAME ITS S FUNNY

[muted grotto]

colgate is the only true lac i applied to

[short turtle]

Okay I must’ve been hallucinating thinking I saw u in swat channel

ooh okay gl w that

[muted grotto]

oh i think i got it mixed up then

[twin oar]

same i love yale

[queen glade]

i wanna be

rory

[gentle ruin]

imgaine how unbearable it would be to walk through this on a very hot day

i love my campus with lots of trees

[queen glade]

half the reason i wanna go here is because rory did

@sly fossil

what are u majoring in

[sly fossil]

cs urban studies double

[queen glade]

i cant take a yale rejection

it will crush me

to my core

every part of myself has convinced me that i am quirly enough to get in

[queen glade]

thats

an interesting combo

[outer pecan]

hey, how are the stem research opportunities (particularly cs and math) at yale?

[wind cipher]

probably not

[tiny crest]

Not having an interview doesn’t mean your chances are lowered though

[lost spire]

no likely
no interview
no bitches

[short turtle]

real

[queen glade]

my love life summed up

[kindred zodiac]

The third is hurting the most😔

[lost spire]

[strange verge]

sad times

[little jetty]

no interview for me

😭

[remote flame]

guys no interview could mean auto accept! manifest!

[hushed rain]

huh

isn't interview when they need more info

how's it auto accept

[remote flame]

sorry i meant no interview lmao

my b

[gentle ruin]

A2Cers switching from "No Interview means you are an auto reject" to "interviews dont matter its only to sell you the school" every hour

[floral siren]

I hate when they do this so much😭

[spring shell]

That’s for every school but Harvard and Yale.

[rigid ibex]

💀 we are all ill

[vivid viper]

Fr like someone help them😭

[crystal iron]

SO REAL

[queen glade]

i’d be so good

at pretending

i’m one of the rich hartford families

[edgy marsh]

HARTFORD IS THE CAPITAL OF CONNECITCIT

I learned that today

In a quizbowl

[spare stratus]

connecticut exists

i learned maryland exists last week

[jovial violet]

Quick question for y’all: friend of mine’s dream school is yale. She got interviews from Dartmouth, Harvard, etc. but not yale. I know it depends on the school so is no interview a bad sign?

[spare stratus]

u'll find out in like 10 days tell her to chill

unless her ao is here and she stood out so much that her name is easily recallable, u wont know

[jovial violet]

it’s more me who’s not chill 😭 I’m so nervous

[spare stratus]

it's okayyy no interview doesnt mean much, tho yale apparently gives them if they need more info

so yea idk

[jovial violet]

Hmm ok. Ty!

Gl to you btw!

[spare stratus]

thank you :))

[steel imp]

just got into Yale

lets gooo

[shut vortex]

Nice

[queen glade]

WOOO YOU WIN THE TRIP TO HAWAII

[rugged crow]

Likely?

[queen glade]

yes hartford is indeed the capital of CT, and also home to every single major white collared penn graduate ever

[queen glade]

likelies went out a while ago this user is probably saying this in satire

[rugged crow]

[steel imp]

nah i just said some random shit

[rugged crow]

Yeah that is why I was confused

[rugged crow]

ATB to all!!

[queen glade]

same to u!

[floral siren]

Yale podcast honestly makes me feel like crap😭

[eternal needle]

Why

[floral siren]

I feel like I did everything they said not do

Wish I knew about it before submitting

[tight hull]

like what?

[eternal needle]

Tbf I think most of it is subjective to how you personally created your application. Their podcast isn’t supposed to be a step by step guide on what you need to do to get in so I wouldn’t stress too much

[nimble coyote]

look at this guy using big words to sound smart

mf deleted his message 😭

[stiff quartz]

Ain't no way a mf named ratfucker on discord is a Yale applicajt

[tight hull]

[eternal needle]

[queen glade]

HABIBI LE

guys the podcast is cool

it helpsu learn more abt the office

but there is never only one way to get in

@eternal needle is absolutely correct in saying there are numerous ways to get in

your focus should be

showing what is most meaningful to you

no matter how absurd and weird

[nimble coyote]

wait till I get accepted 🤓

[queen glade]

and then trusting the process to match you with the ivy best suited for you

[queen glade]

good luck! manifesting it for you

[dense nimbus]

I showed what was most close to my heart on my app

It's called procrastinating and avoiding doing any work at all costs

[nimble coyote]

me too I drew a picture of my lungs

[queen glade]

same

[queen glade]

another kid who vapes

[short turtle]

I’m positive there are less than 50000 seats in the entering Ivy class of 2027 and 50000 applicants apply to Harvard alone

[short turtle]

YALE I LOVE YOU ACCEPT ME

[exotic reef]

i need to do this

im getting into yale.

guys if i get in it means it worked

[rugged crow]

Okay wait are you doing this in all megathreads?

[short turtle]

No just CHYP

[rugged crow]

🔥

[rugged crow]

ATB!!

!ivyday

Dk why I do this

[short turtle]

tysm

[outer pecan]

i legit submitted every ivy app past 10:30pm on the due date

[twin oar]

me too

11:59pm if not late

[outer pecan]

i have a screenshot of an 11:59 application

lol

[tame rapids]

just asking, did you get a likely or is that manifesting?

[outer pecan]

its all for the story time when i grow up

[twin oar]

manifesting 😔

[outer pecan]

gl

[tame rapids]

gl

[outer pecan]

what’s ur fav part abt yale

[twin oar]

thank u (it is not happening)

[tame rapids]

yale

[twin oar]

yale

[outer pecan]

is it you guys’ favorite ivy

or most preferred

[tame rapids]

princeton has better astrophy programs but yale's #2 fr

[twin oar]

i like the residential colleges and their up and coming bme program is awesom and the campus so pretty and the student body seems cool

unless i get rejected then it sucks

[tame rapids]

this ^

no schools exist rn, they only will if i get in

[outer pecan]

whats cool abt BME at yale

[twin oar]

prob the same everywhere else i just like that theyre expanding stem

[outer pecan]

i honestly think that the fact that it’s a slightly weaker stem school in comparison to ones like mit will make it easier to thrive and shine

[twin oar]

also like

[outer pecan]

and the fact that we r going for stem may be seen as a slight hook

[tame rapids]

tbf yale is putting a lot of efforts to ramp that up so idk

[twin oar]

they put stem students in same classes as like social sciences

engineering

idk anout all stem

[outer pecan]

yea but it’s still not on par yet, at least in our class

[twin oar]

but they call the engineers y-shaped engineers bc they both have stem education and the knowledge of the world’s problems discussed in other majors

i like taht

[outer pecan]

i think it wld be not ideal for yale to compromise its reputation in humanities by ramping up stem drastically in the next few years. it has to be a slower progress id reckon

[twin oar]

yeahhh

[outer pecan]

but obviously the school name is prestigious, so even if u do stem there u wldnt lose much opportunities

usually ppl who do the hiring just want another institution (schools) to filter candidates for them

[dense nimbus]

its my 2nd but after Harvard deferred me im assuming im basically dead

[outer pecan]

what major

[dense nimbus]

CS

[hushed rain]

Honestly even though my interview was pretty weird after the interview Yale became my no 1. My interviewer had a great experience and even spent 5 minute just telling me how good the support system is and how she wish she knew to ask for help in her freshman year (I didn't ask her she just mentioned it lol)

I never liked Harvard or Princeton to begin with

[dense nimbus]

asking for help freshman year

[outer pecan]

lol cldnt u have j applied as math or smtg and it might have been a better choice

[spring shell]

Deferral isn’t horrible

Lot of ppl get in after

[dense nimbus]

seems to be a common thing

people regret not doing

[outer pecan]

yeah somehow my yale interviewer made me like yale a bit more

[dense nimbus]

my Stanford, MIT interviewers said same

[dense nimbus]

I suppose

Its a net negative indicator though

for sure

[hushed rain]

Did u have a senior interview too?

[outer pecan]

no just one

[hushed rain]

Alumni?

I wish I had alumni smh

[outer pecan]

i got an SID email a few days ago though lol 😂

[spring shell]

It means you weren’t hooked or absurdly cracked

[outer pecan]

lets see if that actually means anything

[spring shell]

Everyone I know that got in was defer -> accept

[dense nimbus]

what is SID email

[dense nimbus]

really...?

how large is your sample size

[hushed rain]

Ooh nice. U had any missing docs?

[spring shell]

~25 ish

[dense nimbus]

???????

you know 25 people who got into H and all were deferred

[spring shell]

From my school yea

[dense nimbus]

tf?

oh well

imma choose not to think about it

I either get in or I don't

[outer pecan]

basically there were a bunch of applicants who got in after getting an email of requesting finaid doc precisely abt two weeks prior to decisions and it contained their yale student id in the email, and there didnt seem to be ppl at all who say they didnt get in after getting that email

but you never know

obviously

😬

[spring shell]

I assume ppl that didn’t apply for aid don’t get this SID stuff until after?

[outer pecan]

yea i forgot to upload a tax thing bc i was lazy

[short turtle]

No clue

[flat glen]

congrats on yale then!

[short turtle]

No astrology!!!

I’d be rly happy for you if it’s real but like

it’d be sad to get ur hopes up

[glad dagger]

the two finaid documents that they randomly asked for two days ago r still incomplete

should I email them

[hushed rain]

I'd call

[glad dagger]

cuz this is stuff I already submitted on IDOC

[hushed rain]

Do they even have a real email lol

[glad dagger]

idk there's a button that says contact financial aid office lol

[outer pecan]

yea i mean im relatively detached from decisions tbh but i do see it as a positive sign for now

[outer pecan]

yea one of the officers (prob for my region or smtg) emailed me directly but its probably hard to contact through the box

[outer pecan]

yea this shld be obvious since u wont have any missing docs. also, if u uploaded everything u shldnt get one either

[outer pecan]

bruh thats insane lmfao

[spring shell]

Not yearly lol

[outer pecan]

i see

but thats a good track record for hs

[dense nimbus]

Yeah lol

[spring shell]

Meanwhile we’ve only had like 5 yale admits in a decade

[outer pecan]

maybe u will get in

bro our schools cursed with stanford

[dense nimbus]

my school is uh

cursed with everything

[spring shell]

And 0 stanfords since 7-8 yrs

[outer pecan]

weve had 2 ppl in the past decade and they were both recruited for athletics

[spring shell]

Last person to get in went to RSI lol

[outer pecan]

lol

easy program to get into

💁‍♀️

(joke)

[dense nimbus]

bro my school has never sent to t50 so its weird asf to think about the fact that some schools consistently send to hypsm

[outer pecan]

cap u alr made jhu

[dense nimbus]

Well

[outer pecan]

orz

[dense nimbus]

thats the first

[lost gorge]

honestly tho, at undergrad level there’s rly no difference

[outer pecan]

can i assume ur asian

since u said ur mom forced u to study for psat

[lost gorge]

can just go to grad school at princeton lol

[dense nimbus]

part

im a bunch of different stuff

[outer pecan]

i see

[short turtle]

our school too

it hates us

[gaunt quarry]

Helo

[short turtle]

we send like at least 10 to every other t10

but Stanford just refuses

[outer pecan]

same

💀

[short turtle]

hi jae!

[gaunt quarry]

Bro we only send special hooks to brown and upenn

Like legacy or athlete

[short turtle]

wait where tf do you go

are you in the northeast

[gaunt quarry]

And we have no mit accepts in the past 6 years

[outer pecan]

florida

[short turtle]

oh okay lol

[gaunt quarry]

But we have 4/6 caltech accepts in the same tieline

Time

[outer pecan]

yes

[short turtle]

dude I’m living w 2 of the 6 mit admits from my school 😭😭😭😭

rly happy for one of them tho known her awhile she’s a good person and works hard

[outer pecan]

boarding school or smtg?

[short turtle]

smthg like that

[outer pecan]

what do you guys think is the strongest point of your application

[hushed rain]

My essays

[outer pecan]

its crazy how if u think abt it, next year’s essays wld inevitably have less weighting in the process due to chatgpt

and interviews and recs shld have more

but its a bit harder for interviews cuz they wld have to train ppl, not just alumni volunteers

[hushed rain]

Well it kinda depends. I don't think chatgpt can write about some unique experiences that don't exist on the internet but yeah i agree it can change the process as a whole

[hushed rain]

I mean I tried to see if it could rewrite my essays, and it was some misinformed garbage

[dense nimbus]

its more like

my app is weak

but rural title 1 HS covers for me

[outer pecan]

u can input info abt urself and it writes everything

u can even tell it the word limit

and then if u need, j rephrase or tell it to make it sound more human w some commands

[hushed rain]

Yeah maybe being a (sorta) anonymous social and women's rights activist in Iran covers for me too

[outer pecan]

all the flowery descriptions and that creative weiting ability is almost rendered useless by this service

at least in my opinion for college apps

[outer pecan]

thats OP, but as long as u get in, doesnt rlly matter afterwards ✌️

but chatgpt will only get better and better

[hushed rain]

Didn't really work for me

[hushed rain]

✨️imposter syndrome✨️

But idk

[outer pecan]

apparently my teacher wrote an additional rec for me with chatgpt

and it was actually good

recs r a bit different though ig

[hushed rain]

I haven't gotten an affordable option yet, so doesn't apply to me lol

[outer pecan]

they shld focus more on achievements and attributes while ur essays shld be more reflection

[hushed rain]

Yeah I think it can transform rec letters def

[outer pecan]

i havent tested it out yet but it shld be at least decent

[outer pecan]

not rlly for a lot of cases from observations. there r a lot of ppl who are just as relatable

but it depends on the person so yea

[gentle ruin]

until your teacher writes you a rec with chatgpt

[outer pecan]

whats wrong with a rec with chatgpt

[gentle ruin]

not bad

[short turtle]

Probably my recs

Or my essays

[short turtle]

What???

Weird I have gained so much respect for you

That’s such good work

[short turtle]

Everyone at top schools has impostor syndrome

No matter where you go

And the ones who don’t are assholes, honestly

[outer pecan]

what is ur definition of impostor syndrome

[hushed rain]

Thank you😭🤝🏼

[hushed rain]

Yeah but it's gonna be harder if you're FGLI or URM in schools that are mostly filled with legacy or very rich students. At least that's what I think I hope I'm wrong though

[hushed rain]

Kinda sounds like my letters but I'm mad because my teachers put so much thought into it even though it was their first time writing a rec letter. But then they translated it into English and the translator had no way of portraying all of the descriptions and writing they originally had so it just sounds generic lmao

[crystal iron]

There should probably be some way to verify an essay was original

But idk if that’s possible

Tbh I think admissions without essays is fair enough

Like I think your ecs should paint a clear enough picture of who you are

[hushed rain]

No I think this is the best part about the US admissions process

[crystal iron]

Not really cause rich kids pay for other people to write their essays

[hushed rain]

Doesn't work for kids with limited resources or other issues yk?

[eternal needle]

I’m ngl dude I’m surprised you can apply to the U.S. on your end w yk everything in the world geo-politically @hushed rain

[hushed rain]

Rich kids pay for ECs and everything too

[thorn pulsar]

rich kids can pay for resources like tutors to help with a gpa

[crystal iron]

I’m saying if

[thorn pulsar]

they can pay for a lot in the app process

[crystal iron]

Kids are actually using chat gtp

For college essays

Then theoretically essays become redundant

[dense nimbus]

God created man

and ChatGPT made him equal

[hushed rain]

I mean the US sanctions have an educational allowance? I think that's what it's called for Iranians if you mean sanctions

[crystal iron]

Because there is no way to verify that an essay is original

But ecs achievements are verifiable at least

[eternal needle]

Talking more about the government as a whole allowing the Iranian youth to study in America. Everything I learned in comp gov and by the news in general led me to believe that they would make it very difficult in every way

[little jetty]

Holy fuck

Another person in comp gov

Wtf

[eternal needle]

I did it last year lol

Got a 5😎

I loved the class sm tho

[edgy marsh]

i hate gov

[eternal needle]

It’s so fascinating

[eternal needle]

Oh

[hushed rain]

Hey so I was writing a response on how fucking difficult it is but maybe this isn't something everyone in the Yale thread wants to know about lol. So I could DM you if u wanna know

[little jetty]

😭

[eternal needle]

All good bro, but yeah fs I was actually quite interested but I didn’t know whether you could answer on the platform

[eternal needle]

Politics make the world run

And money

[edgy marsh]

i mean i hate studying it

[eternal needle]

Well both are synonymous at this point

[eternal needle]

Oh

[edgy marsh]

im not an anarchist

[eternal needle]

Lmao

Never thought you were

[short turtle]

That’s unfortunate, I’m sorry

[short turtle]

It can be

Rich can pay for everything

[hushed rain]

Okay I DMed u

[blissful pivot]

i do hear from my capstone teacher that college board is implementing some sort of chat gpt or ai detector

[queen glade]

its quite easy

turnitin has its own ai detectino software!

[lost spire]

i’ve accepted the fact that i’m getting in

[crystal iron]

It sucks

Like

I’ll check my own work and it’ll be like 70% plagiarized!!!

Like 💀

Sorry that my thoughts on this standardized concept are not original

[lost spire]

eventually all schools will have to do this because it’ll become undetectable

[queen glade]

nah if ur writing is getting flagged as AI written you are actually an NPC

you basically being told

that you sound like an NPC

by tech

[crystal iron]

I was like 😦

[queen glade]

nah bro the ee is basically begging for chat gpt

[lost spire]

is yale good for cs

[queen glade]

[onyx kelp]

duality of man

[short turtle]

the tetrality of man I did it for all of CHYP

and I’m back here to reproclaim my love for Yale

YALE I LOVE YOU PLEASE LET ME IN

WE ARE ONE

I WILLNEVER FEAR BULLDOGS AGAIN IF DAN DANCES ON MH SCREEN

[rugged crow]

[fluid frost]

i was scared of dogs before getting in

im still scared of dogs

[spare stratus]

i think bulldogs are ugly

and scary

i had no idea yale's mascot was one

[frosty jay]

I got rejected by tufts, but I’m just gonna manifest that it was yield protection cause they know I’m gonna commit to Yale 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[spare stratus]

apparently bulldogs arent healthy like breeding them is cruel or smthn

[tiny crest]

W

[frosty jay]

Definitely not because I was too mid for tufts

[cobalt olive]

this is like 85% of dog breeds

[dense nimbus]

Well

there is a spectrum

bulldogs are worse than most

and frankly

they are ugly anyways

more importantly

[sand sphinx]

guys what’s ur least fav school mascot 🤭

[edgy marsh]

Purdue boilermakers

[hushed rain]

I submitted an empty art questionnaire by mistake 😭 but I also got an interview after that so ig it's fine

[short turtle]

They’re bred for flat faces, which is why their snouts are so squished, but it’s bad for them and they honestly just can’t breathe well

the entire existence of a bulldog is sort of torture in that regard

[lost spire]

that’s awful

[pale loom]

hello

for those who have applied for financial aid

at yale

can u all see this

[pale loom]

boiler up ..

[supple bone]

my css appear as not recived...

[pale loom]

💀

[cobalt olive]

Yes

[glad dagger]

yeah I even have more documents 😭

I still have ptsd abt the finaid process

[hushed rain]

Yeah me too I have way more😭🤝🏼

[hushed rain]

It was harder than the application itself

[short turtle]

Yes

[short turtle]

so glad my family did fin aid for me

i knew ppl who cried over fin aid apps

[hushed rain]

It's me. I'm people. 😂😂😂😂

[grand silo]

Yes

[glad dagger]

I spent like a whole month with my dad dealing with this

[grand silo]

was fin aid application that hard?

I'd have spent like 50 hours max

[short turtle]

Maybe it was simple cuz I was US citizen

[hushed rain]

Are u domestic?

[grand silo]

No

I'm int'l

[short turtle]

My family and I spent less than 24 hours on it

[glad dagger]

Mostly cuz our finances are weird

[short turtle]

I knew domestic students who spent 2 weeks on it tho

[grand silo]

same. I filled my CSS in like 2 hours. IDOC in 5-10

[glad dagger]

like my country doesn't have tax returns so it was a whole ordeal

[hushed rain]

Yeah one of the hardest parts was translating stuff

[glad dagger]

• business documents

[grand silo]

I see

[hushed rain]

Oh well I had to fill the isfaa for each school. I only sent the CSS to 5 schools that gave me a fee waiver

[grand silo]

We have no business. No other assets either. So it was straightforward

[grand silo]

makes sense... I just sent the CSS lmao. Too much effort to ask for a CSS waiver and shit

[pale loom]

@tight hull

[glad dagger]

has anyone emailed the yale finaid office

just to know if they're quick with email responses

or if I should just call

[grand silo]

I emailed them on 24th feb lmfao. No response

Call them

it's instant

[charred cedar]

anyone still no interview

[glad dagger]

yeah I'll probably do that

talking on the phone tho

[grand silo]

Yale's website says they interview those from whom they need, I quote, "more info"
Idk what it is

but ik people who got in without interviews so u can chill

[charred cedar]

i dont get it

they wouldnt reject me without interview

[grand silo]

??

[glad dagger]

I mean they could just like they can reject u with one

[grand silo]

exactly?

[charred cedar]

yeah thats nicer

[grand silo]

Lmao

[charred cedar]

had like 5mo to give me an interivew

[glad dagger]

they just didn't need more info you were autoadmit dw

[charred cedar]

prob tbh

I dont think they would reject regardless

either WL or accept

[tiny crest]

yes

[short turtle]

Yale pls admit me

[rugged crow]

[short turtle]

Yale you are beloved

!ivyday

[queen glade]

!chanceme

[toxic notch]

can not submitting any fin aid documents negatively affect your application in any way?

[glad dagger]

Probably not but if you asked for aid and didn't submit your documents you'll receive your financial aid letter later

[willow flame]

!chance yale

[muted grotto]

this is very real

[edgy marsh]

Guys what if yale decisions already came out and we just forgot

Might wanna check portal again

[queen glade]

mine just says i’m uglt

[edgy marsh]

Did you really need a portal to tell you that

[short turtle]

I did

aaa pls I’m manifesting so hard

Dan should I buy you treats

If you want treats I can get them

YALE I LOVE YOU PLEASE

please let Yale not be the third school to crack my heart open in two months

Yale you literally want me so bad
