Yale (2022-2023)

[sweet shell]

my usc doesnt show complete lol

[cosmic cedar]

like the last updated ones

[sweet shell]

its in progress for me still

[cosmic cedar]

i think those are just for like mass updates

[sly fossil]

I spent so long in this and no one replied :(

I guess no one wants to know a true yale day in the life

[grim agate]

I looked and chuckled

Remember the lurkers

[junior dock]

is the food as good as tiktok says

[sly fossil]

i love you mr lurker

[sly fossil]

the food is good but lacks variety

like it's more or less the same food at all the dining halls bar pizza and some miscellaneous extra stuff at some dining halls

lunch commons is on its own menu but that's fixed more or less

they also have a habit of making unhealthy food healthy to the extent it sucks. also making vegetarian items vegan - trust me, you do not want vegan pancakes.

anyway

all in all its still way better than most colleges

[nimble coyote]

no one replied because they were too stunned to speak

[sly fossil]

it's fairly accurate

i just bullshitted some parts

[nimble coyote]

well tbh I didn't really read it

[ornate wren]

does anyone else's decision on slate say "decided"

[cosmic cedar]

not for yale 😶

[charred cedar]

yeah mine says decided

[tight hull]

Slay

[rugged crow]

Yeah!! lol

[tiny crest]

o chem 2 killed me

[rugged crow]

We have to take O chem compulsory cause Indian education system

[tiny crest]

haha i remember, i went to my dad's old government school in india and they were doing intro to organometallic chemistry

[rugged crow]

🙃

[sly fossil]

truly a slay

[viscid idol]

how do you check that?

[charred cedar]

whos usc on slate says awaiting materials?

[sweet shell]

my usc is still in progress

[rugged crow]

Do not read much into slate!!

Some schools use it frequently and some do not

And it never tells you/One cannot use for confirming acceptance or rejection

[twin oar]

dont worry guys ill tell the admissions office to let all of u guys in

since im here st yale rn

and they love me

[rugged crow]

[short turtle]

i feel so sick

im so nervous

will Yale rly accept me

I’ve had this dream on again off again since elementary school

[stark finch]

this is so random but how do i get good at chess

its been my obsession for the last 2 days

i want to get 2000 before i turn 20

should i use chess.com or lichess to climb

i used to be 1400 rapid on lichess but after not playing for a while i dropped to 1100

im back at 1200

but sort of losing a lot

heres my plan rn

1. openings on white are queens gambit and scotch (want to pick up evans and danish gambit)
2. black: carro kann / KID / sicilian dragon
3. doing puzzles every day
4. analyze every game i play w lichess engine and keep a set of notes on where i make mistakes and why i lose

[rugged crow]

Uhh you need to study (literally)

1. Solid openings and their counters
2. Endgame theory
3. Midgame analysis (I'm still bad at this)
4. Watch popular positions and solve puzzles
5. Analyze and improve strategy
6. Play with engines and bots
   (I'm not a pro at chess tbh but this is mostly my advice)

[stark finch]

midgame is probably my worst

[rugged crow]

Okay a similar line of action

[rugged crow]

Seriously!!!

Mine too

[stark finch]

i feel like carro kann is trash though im ngl

[rugged crow]

I use chess.com

[stark finch]

ive lost 5 games with the carro kann alone today

[gaunt quarry]

Rawr

[rugged crow]

Didn't study that a lot

[jolly jacinth]

You don’t really need to study to reach 2000

[rugged crow]

Hiss

[stark finch]

how worth is it for premium chess.com / should i switch

[jolly jacinth]

no

[stark finch]

ok then what do i need to do

[rugged crow]

NO

[jolly jacinth]

play a lot

[gaunt quarry]

@rare maple its your people

[stark finch]

how long will it take me tho

and how much is a lot

[jolly jacinth]

I went from 1400 -> 2400 in three years

[stark finch]

you might be just smart

im ngl

im not built like that

[rugged crow]

Yeah but studying is just gonna help cut down time to reach a higher rating

[jolly jacinth]

I have like 20,000 lichess games across multiple accounts but a lot of them are bullet so that doesn’t really count

[stark finch]

ivre played 21 rapid games

[near wigeon]

https://i.imgur.com/0btKvPO.png

[jolly jacinth]

I would simply play long games, analyze

[stark finch]

today

[jolly jacinth]

It’s a steady and effective way to improve

[stark finch]

classical games?

[jolly jacinth]

Classical online is torture

Rapid is good

But I’d try with increment so that you don’t need to worry about flagging

[dense nimbus]

Yeah lol

there is no one who plays classical online

[jolly jacinth]

Wait what are u rn

[stark finch]

i used to be 1400 rapid on lichess or so like 2 yrs ago

havent played since and dropped to 1100 when i started again a couple days ago

now im 1200

[jolly jacinth]

Ah

Yea if you play a lot, that’s good. Once you get to like 1500 you can learn a little more about openings

A lot of my repertoire comes from watching GMs play tbh

[stark finch]

chess has me feeling so dumb

[jolly jacinth]

So if you can’t play, watching is also good for you

[jolly jacinth]

nah it’s difficult to grasp

The best players rely not on just calculation speed but simply years of experience

The more games you’ve played, the better your intuition naturally is

It’s like League of Legends

[stark finch]

hm gotcha

thanks for the help

[royal surge]

Hey kids

[hollow kite]

Why r u thinking I’m auto reject do I just give the vibes like what😭

[charred cedar]

whats ur sat

[languid magnet]

He can tell your fate based on slate in the same way that in the same way that Hogwarts’ Professor Trelawney can tell your fate from tea reading.

[sly fossil]

A Yale prof actually made the sorting hat in Harry Potter

maybe they use that

[sly fossil]

bro is definitely 5ft6 320lbs

[frosty jay]

Guys is getting into CMU cs a good sign for getting into Yale

[little jetty]

no

[frosty jay]

:(

[short turtle]

YALE LET ME IN

!ivyday

[kindred compass]

why would you chose yale over cmu for cs anyway?

[frosty jay]

Cause I’m not set on majoring in CS at all

I only applied CS to cmu because it’s hard to transfer into it but easy to transfer out of

I applied philosophy for Yale

[kindred compass]

oh ok

makes sense

goodluck with yale

[frosty jay]

It wouldn’t have been a dilemma if I got into MIT, which is amazing at both CS and philosophy 🥲

They missed out on the next Turing fr fr fr fr

[kindred compass]

i was rejected from cmu for ed2 + 2 safties and 2 target schools before mit if that makes you feel better
anything is possible

[edgy marsh]

This made me feel a bit better 🥲

[twin oar]

omggg congrats

[edgy marsh]

cmu had the audacity to defer me from ed1 all the way to rd

Just to reject me

I waited 3 long months

[twin oar]

bruh

[edgy marsh]

Wrote a loci

Just for that 😭

Not even waitlist

Whatever

[frosty jay]

Damnn

[edgy marsh]

OH

[frosty jay]

Congrats af for MIT tho

[edgy marsh]

CONGEATS IN GRTTINNG IN THO

[kindred compass]

i was rejected from stony brook and waitlisted by bing as my in state safeties and rejected by BU and NEU as targets

[frosty jay]

Literally the hardest school to get into

[edgy marsh]

@frosty jay

[frosty jay]

And the best by far

[edgy marsh]

Congrats*!!

[frosty jay]

Thanks 😭

[twin oar]

ur collegeresults post gon go crazy

[kindred compass]

Thank you!

[frosty jay]

MIT was my dream

[kindred compass]

yeah its gonna be hilarious

[frosty jay]

But f them for rejecting me

Now Yale is my dream 🥰🥰🥰

[edgy marsh]

F cmu for rejecting me 😦

Man

[gentle ruin]

Yeah

[kindred compass]

my top 3 were:
mit my dream school
columbia
CMU

I was so happy to not be accepted in ed and ed2 when i got mit back

[edgy marsh]

I mean my app isn’t that good so I get it but still 😭

[gentle ruin]

They waitlisted junior me for the pre college program and now rejected me bruh

Fuck CMU

Stupid plaid pattern

🤣

[edgy marsh]

UGH

I SHOUKDVE WORN MY RED PLAID PAJAMAD

[frosty jay]

Damn

[edgy marsh]

that would’ve gotten me in.

[frosty jay]

My CMU acceptance was so unexpected tho

I read my essay after getting it and it’s legit garbage

[edgy marsh]

😭

[frosty jay]

Like actually the worst college essays I’ve ever written

[gentle ruin]

Their mascot is some little ass dog??

[grand silo]

Atleast it ain't a croc 💀

[frosty jay]

At least it’s not a literal tree

[gentle ruin]

What happened to the dude whos name was "" at CMU

[gentle ruin]

You making fun of UF?

Number 5 public in the country

Above UNC

And it's a gator bruh

[grand silo]

Yo chill lol

[gentle ruin]

🐊😡

[grand silo]

I got into UF too lmao relax

[gentle ruin]

You not a real one

[grand silo]

??

[crimson idol]

idk how lmao

UF really ain’t all that

and rankings don’t matter

UNC has a bigger national & global name + reputation than UF

every uf grad i know stays in florida or regional area

[gentle ruin]

Found the UF hater

[tardy iris]

UF RAHH🦅🦅

[gentle ruin]

GO GATORS 🐊

[crimson idol]

do u live in florida

lmao

gators suck, their students are elitest, and because they didn’t get into an ivy, they cope by calling themselves the harvard of the south

[gentle ruin]

🤣

You good?, I sense a little of coping and seething

[frosty jay]

Idgaf about “Harvard of the south”, cause whatever it is it’s worse than Yale of the south

Which is worse than Yale

In conclusion, Yale is the best and they should accept me

[queen glade]

RAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[sly fossil]

I have a few friends who did

The main reason was CMU is hell on earth

Same for MIT

both insanely difficult schools and they just didn't vibe with the IHTFP culture lol

[sly fossil]

I'm in Florida rn ama

[frosty jay]

That’s the weirdest college acronym I’ve ever seen

[sly fossil]

I hate this fucking place

part of MIT culture

[queen glade]

i can imagine

[frosty jay]

Ah I see

[queen glade]

lot of ppl who choose LACs and general Liberal arts colleges over stem colleges for cs right

[frosty jay]

I thought it was like
Ithaca College???
Harvard
T…ufts????
Folumbia
Princeton

[queen glade]

LOL

[tight hull]

I have truly found paradise

[hearty cipher]

Yale will accept me

[robust bear]

yale will acceptm e.

[knotty oracle]

Yale will accept me

[little jetty]

Yale will accept me

[thorn pulsar]

yale will accept me

[mighty pike]

Does getting an email with a SID mean anything if you're domestic?

[crystal spear]

no

[tiny crest]

what’s a sid

[mighty pike]

The 13th

[mighty pike]

It's like an id for financial aid

[tiny crest]

oh i see

[short turtle]

Yaleeeeeee admit me plssss

[manic verge]

dont want to get your hopes up but so far nobody has gotten rejected with an SID. you'll get a definite answer in 5 days

[trail arch]

It's the the admitted students event

[little jetty]

My Yale essay was so bad

😭

Like all it has is quirky

😭

[vivid viper]

nah, you haven’t read mine

[cosmic cedar]

but due to the large volume of qualified applicants (the msg i'll be seeing in a few days)

[fossil quest]

[nova frost]

[fossil quest]

💀

my person was super extroverted

[exotic reef]

big W

[fossil quest]

istg my interviewer was like 70 too

[exotic reef]

😭 omg

[fossil quest]

[nova frost]

[fossil quest]

woah that's amazing how he said that tho

wishing u luck 🍀

[nova frost]

thank u!!! you too!

[frosty jay]

Got my interview late feb

[little jetty]

Me when no interview

[grand silo]

What?

[vivid viper]

Mine was like

Mid January

[trail arch]

suddenly everyone has interviews

[hushed rain]

Yeah my interviewer was the same 💀

And she was like what 4/5 years older than me? So I'm pretty sure we could find sth common to talk

Like we had actually so much in common

[short turtle]

Right? 😭 I didn’t get interviewed

[hushed rain]

Relatable name fr

[short turtle]

it’s happened 5 times lmfao

[hushed rain]

Wait same

[short turtle]

Istg it’ll happen a 6th

[short turtle]

WAIT OMG

change ur nick, weird, let’s match

[hushed rain]

No 4 times for me sorry

Waiit

[short turtle]

okay list the schools

[hushed rain]

Furman
Drexel
Rose-Hulman
Quinnipiac

None are selective or anything

I have 3 waitlists too

[short turtle]

hm okay I’m still CEO then

[hushed rain]

Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin

But they waitlisted everyone this year ig

[short turtle]

It’s okay it can just be frustrating

6 acceptances (5 not enough aid, 1 I can attend), 2 rejections (safety state flagship + NEU), and 1 waitlist (Swarthmore)

I’m over Swarthmore, highkey

I still get rly sad when anyone mentions it

[hushed rain]

Oh congrats for the 1 affordable one

[short turtle]

And I wouldn’t be able to cope with following the Swat channel

[hushed rain]

I have so many rejections I don't even know how many

[short turtle]

but I’m okay. I can be normal about it

[trail arch]

me when waitlisted from stony

[short turtle]

YALE WILL COME THRU

[trail arch]

that was my safety

like ok...

[short turtle]

See rejection from my state flagship above

I get ur pain

but Wesleyan took u

so slay

[trail arch]

yass

[short turtle]

Tyty

[hushed rain]

My Penn interviewer made me delusional fr

[short turtle]

Noooooo Weird nooo

Weird you’re international right?

[trail arch]

i have 6a, 4w and 4r i think so far

[hushed rain]

I'm international and I need aid + I'm from a country with visa restrictions so most schools won't risk accepting me

[trail arch]

bro my penn interviewer gassed me up

[hushed rain]

Except top schools but again getting into one of them is already hard

[short turtle]

Goddamn. Yeah then it makes sense ig but that’s rly sad

And hard

[short turtle]

Manifesting, you never know

[hushed rain]

Mine was like I'm sure you're the kind of applicant that ivy schools would snatch (I'm quoting)💀 so I hope u choose Penn and then spent half of our interview explaining how great Penn is for what I wanna do and then proceeded to tell me tips and tricks to appeal my financial aid if Penn didn't give me enough at first💀
And here I am with over 10 rejections lmao

But ig that's what they say to most ppl

I didn't know anything about interviews then

So I was genuinely happy and thought I might get in😭

[trail arch]

my interviewer was like "u kids are insane, when i was 15 i wasnt doing all of that!" after i mentioned my position w the assemblymember of my state

i felt mediocre at best and was so confused

[hushed rain]

Oh I don't have any crazy ECs like that but that's pretty good though

[short turtle]

Wowwwwww

[hushed rain]

Why do you feel mediocre lol

[trail arch]

dude im from new york

im so average compared to the other applicants from here

[vivid viper]

My Princeton interviewer said that I was Princeton lmao

Like that better be an acceptance !

[trail arch]

25A is crazy

[vivid viper]

I applied to like, 36 schools i think

Fee waiver W

[trail arch]

any reaches u got into?

[hushed rain]

My Yale interviewer on the other hand didn't give me ANY feedback

[vivid viper]

Berkeley, Cornell likely, washu, northwestern

[trail arch]

holy

god damn

[short turtle]

Wait Mike

NU + UWash???

Congraaaaats man 🎉🎉🎉

[vivid viper]

Yeahh😭😭 tysm

Those 2 days were wild asf

[short turtle]

this man so cracked, Berkeley AND Cornell early

[trail arch]

berkeley is literally insane

ur chillin bro good luck choosing

[vivid viper]

UCLA waitlisted though🙄 oh well didn't need them

[hushed rain]

Like I'd answer a question, she'd say "it's very good that you have done+ [repeating what I just said]" and force a tiny fake smile and then she'd ask the next question. And she'd do this after EVERY SINGLE QUESTION

[vivid viper]

Also thx I shall

[hushed rain]

OMG

[vivid viper]

It'll be over next week

[hushed rain]

You're a purple cat

Congrats dude

[vivid viper]

Tysm !

[short turtle]

Aaaaa that’s so nervewracking

[short turtle]

Yeah true

Idk i hopege

Yale would be rly cool

[vivid viper]

Yeah fr

[short turtle]

i have. So much tied up in Yale emotionally

So many hopes and insecurities

[lost gorge]

same fr

i’ve been binging yale vlogs

😭

[hushed rain]

I'll go anywhere that accepts me and is affordable

But if Yale rejects me I will hold grudge

And will get revenge

Somehow

[exotic reef]

Revenge 😭

[tiny hull]

bruh 💀

[dense nimbus]

Me too

I happily hold a grudge against any college that rejects me that I like more than the current first choice of the schools ive gotten into

[hushed rain]

Let's get revenge together then🤝🏼

[short turtle]

Samesies

[short turtle]

You get revenge I’ll get in

[regal relic]

i need one acceptance

just one would be ok

[frosty jay]

I need Yale and Columbia please please please please

[thorn pulsar]

yale is all i live for

if not yale undergrad then yale med school

if not yale med school then i’ll take over and work at yale

[frosty jay]

Literally

I’m a yaledere

[little jetty]

Become an AO

And reject anyone with a similar profile

[thorn pulsar]

genius

[little jetty]

I will do that

If I become an AO

[slim sorrel]

thought of a genius move in which i open the rejection simulator before opening the actual rejection letter on thursday

time to start conditioning myself so that there's minimal disappointment 💪

[thorn pulsar]

withdrawing makes sure you never get rejected!

[slim sorrel]

literally how do you spend the couple of hours between school and opening your decision letter

like what do you do

pace back and forth?

run a marathon?

[thorn pulsar]

i take a nap until 1 min before it drops

[slim sorrel]

that's the move

[thorn pulsar]

works great to calm me down

not so well with getting me accepted

[slim sorrel]

i cna't nap unless i'm extremely sleep deprived though

actually maybe i'll be sleep deprived because i won't be able to fall asleep the night before

[thorn pulsar]

i give myself like an hour to fall asleep and it usually works

[sly fossil]

I actually slept thru the decisions lol

woke up 30 mins after they came out

didn't expeft to get in so

[thorn pulsar]

if that will get me in i’ll do it 😔

[sly fossil]

also gotta pick up the same hobbies too

[frosty jay]

I had a nightmare yesterday of me getting waitlisted by Yale

I’ve literally been dreaming about colleges for like 4 nights in a row now

I need help

[queen glade]

same

i had a dream i got rejevted everywhere

and opened princeton last and got in

and i gatekept and told everyone i got rejected everywhere

even my parents

[frosty jay]

💀

[queen glade]

i am so doing that

[frosty jay]

I never even dream about getting accepted

[queen glade]

if i get into an ivy no one is finding out until graduation

[frosty jay]

Either getting rejected or waitlisted in dreams

[queen glade]

because they put everyone’s school on the graduation thingy

[queen glade]

my realistic prediction is 5-6 Rs and 1-2WLs

could be 6-7 Rs instead

[dense nimbus]

lol

that happened to my friend

applied 12 places rejected all except pton

[frosty jay]

My realistic prediction is all rejects

[queen glade]

same

[frosty jay]

My hopeful prediction is either Columbia or Yale maybe

My delusional prediction is all acceptances 😩😩😩

[queen glade]

my toxic trait is believing i have a shot w any

[frosty jay]

🥲

[queen glade]

yale columbia r arguably two hardest

[frosty jay]

Yeah but the other ones I applied to are Cornell(apparently blackslisted my school) and Brown(didn’t even get the fin aid email)

Also my school sends like 2-3 to Yale per year and I think no one got in for RD

So I’m delusionally hopeful

[short turtle]

Gl

I know a ton of ppl who got into Yale REA so far ar my school

okay not a ton but like half the number that yale usually accepts from my school

[crimson estuary]

wait u have to get a fin aid email for brown?

[slim sorrel]

does your school not dress up on committment day

[short turtle]

You don’t have to dress up

I feel like commitment day isn’t that huge at my school

[slim sorrel]

interesting

ig for my school if i didn't dress up it would be assumed i'm like not going to college or something

most people dress up

[kind hamlet]

same at my school lol

[slim sorrel]

and people hang up posters and stuff

[short turtle]

jeez

[spring ravine]

YALE MY (SECOND) LOVE PLS ACCEPT ME

[short turtle]

Wait we’re Samesies

[short turtle]

We’re samesies I’m just reverse

[spring ravine]

No1 Yale no2 pton?

[short turtle]

Yeah

best of luck to both of us

i hope we get accepted

[stark yew]

When is ivy day? Sorry for asking i forgot

[trail arch]

30th

[stark yew]

thanks

[trail arch]

anyone her get asked for extra fin aid?

not including the housing verification statement

[sturdy socket]

does anyone know if all the ivies come out at like the same time?

[thorn pulsar]

yeah

7pm est

[wind cipher]

what to expect upon your admittance

[trail arch]

my kind of people

[tiny crest]

What email

[tiny crest]

Not for Yale, only Cornell

[trail arch]

dont wanna get ur hopes up but ur probably in!

[tiny crest]

Actually????

I got it on Friday, they asked for a brand new doc

[trail arch]

idk schools that request fin aid within late feb and march from stufents usually means that ur accepted

happened to me with two of my reaches and i got in

soooo. do whwat u will w that info

i can be weong

but it happened w my friends as well and she got into JHU

[tiny crest]

Yale asked for household verification mid February, probably doesn’t mean anything

[trail arch]

everyone gets that

usually

but if they ask for like actual tax documents

[tiny crest]

USC asked me for verification of info from the IRS through VeriTax 3 days before decisions, saw that I’m poor and rejected me LOL

[trail arch]

i assume it means theyre creating a fin aid package for an accepted atudent

[trail arch]

damn

[tiny crest]

Yeah they asked me for a doc that’s not on idoc

Something about some corporation document

[trail arch]

ya

again dont wanna get ur hopes up or anything but i believe ots agood sign

[tiny crest]

Yeah hope so honestly

I need luck

[hollow sky]

ive been opening the rejection simulator all month help

[vivid viper]

y’all

[normal knoll]

rey cmon

[trail arch]

this isnt astrology

its literally financial aid

[red quail]

implying they got in due to being asked about extra finaid is implying about an indicator

[vivid viper]

It’s just very speculative

[red quail]

that falls under R5

[dense nimbus]

youre probably better off arguing that it isnt portal astrology

[normal knoll]

dont tell somebody they are in when you dont know

[trail arch]

i said that in the end

[hybrid crane]

It’s still speculative

[tiny crest]

Actually?

I thought it’s speculative

[red quail]

speculative implying

and implying that something is true when you literally dont know for sure

apologies for my poor choice of wording

[rugged crow]

So many mods!! There is Portal Astrology literally everywhere!

[trail arch]

i said that i dont know for sure but its ok i understand lmao

wont happen again team

[hybrid crane]

You’re good! We’re trying to stay on top of it because it spreads like crazyyyyy

[rugged crow]

Like a wildfire

[tiny crest]

Who reads the stem supplements for Yale?

The department chair?

[echo haven]

The reason the UCB thread was locked had spread faster than wildfire

[rugged crow]

Yeah ik I did see that

[echo haven]

Every kid in Cali talking abt it in this moment 😭

[rugged crow]

^^

[tame rapids]

my dream is to get accepted to a cool dream school only so i can intern with the admissions dept and make random insignificant changes on random portals to freak kids out

[rugged crow]

[vivid viper]

wait why is ucb bad

[rugged crow]

Ask the server monarch!!

[rugged crow]

@languid tree ^^

[short turtle]

Okay well we have exceptions everywhere

[rugged crow]

[opal matrix]

cornell asked me for tax documents on 3/06 i thought it was standard?

[tame rapids]

ed had some correlations but since we have only 3 days to go, why not just wait

[hybrid crane]

real!

[rugged crow]

Are you on Astrology duty?

[hybrid crane]

I’m about to be on sleep duty

[rugged crow]

Well GN

[tame rapids]

imagine being able to sleep

[rugged crow]

Its 9:30am for us why do you wanna sleep!!

[tame rapids]

have slept for 4ish hours total in the past 50 hours

wait, a day on earth is 24

then 48 hours

[rugged crow]

💀

[trail arch]

may the odds be forever in ur favor

[cosmic cedar]

what planet does this man live on????

[short turtle]

This is the most sleep deprived statement I’ve ever seen

[olive topaz]

In early February the Yale financial aid office requested a verification of household information and then revoked it so idk if it was a mistake or it means im a autoreject

Likely the latter considering I got no interview

[glad dagger]

Dw abt it they've had a few glitches, you'll find out for sure in three days

[olive topaz]

Yeah ik I don’t really care anymore

I got into a t30 school and can probably get in for grad

[gaunt quarry]

Yall stop projecting finaid onto decisions

[olive topaz]

But sure

It might not be correlative

ivy day at 3 am 💀💀💀

[blazing steeple]

[vivid viper]

I don’t want to be rejected

[next pendant]

The Financial Aid Checklist for first-year applicants has been temporarily disabled.

GG no more speculation

[wheat oar]

About time

[next pendant]

finally no more astrology bs

[floral siren]

Wow that’s so funny😭

[eternal basin]

I got no interview no likely letter as an intl
Got rejected schools like nyu, northwestern, Tufts and Pomona and Colgate 🤡.
Do i even stand for any chances ?

My stats were 4/4gpa and SAT 1510
Major is gonna be history or philosophy
Done 3 research papers and all
Still no hope tbh

[queen glade]

keep your hopes up bud

you never know

none of those are instant disqualifications

[eternal needle]

mate got rejected from williams but got into yale

keep your hopes up

[eternal basin]

Yeah thank you so much guys🥹 love A2Cers

[hushed rain]

Yeah

[hallow roost]

Fin aid checklist disabled

😢

Yale too smart

[languid magnet]

Guys do your portals say Yale on them? I think that’s a sign that I’m admitted.

My friend applied to Brown and his portal doesn’t say Yale.

[exotic reef]

💀

[hallow roost]

Fr?

lemme check

nah bro mine says Dartmouth

it doesn’t say Yale

[uncut hazel]

yes + maybe it's maintenance

[tiny crest]

Someone told me that waitlist jhu was yield protection today

[exotic reef]

thats not true 💀 bc no way i got yield protected

my stats arent good enough

[tiny crest]

Yeah I was so confused LOL

I was happy to be waitlisted though that means I was qualified haha

Btw does a Yale stem research supplement help your application in any way?

And the additional research rec letter

[queen glade]

stop astrology please otherwise carly will lock yale too

[queen glade]

of course!

if you are a stem applicant it can help showcase your stem capabilities and merits

which is obviously smth yale wants to see in their stem applicants

[tiny crest]

How much does it help, if it is tangible published work with presentations too

I like yale I want to get in lol

[queen glade]

what kind of stem work are we talking about?

[queen glade]

same here!

[queen glade]

literature reviews will not persuade much

they are a great EC but aren’t anything new

[tiny crest]

Chemistry, I found a compound that breaks the conventional rules of geometric isomers and then published it to the American chemical society

[queen glade]

new stem research from a lab ina controlled environment

[queen glade]

like this

can be quite persuasive and can help showcase both your interest and merits!

so yes it’ll help

[tiny crest]

Yeah it’s 100% lab work, no lit review

[tiny crest]

I hope so lol I got rejected from 4 schools in a row

[eager hollow]

whats portals

[tiny crest]

It’s a magical ring that teleports you to whichever college you want

[queen glade]

thats okay it’s quite random

[tiny crest]

I hope random doesn’t get me rejected from everywhere

[queen glade]

same here haha!

[tiny crest]

But you got into price though

That’s good

[queen glade]

i’m not a stem applicant

[queen glade]

yes but that was EA

[tiny crest]

What major?

[tiny crest]

Still good lol

I only got into my two safeties and Grinnell which I can’t afford

[queen glade]

i’ve taken Ls from Northwestern UNC (waitlist) UChi (WL) UCLA (WL) and most ucs

[eager hollow]

why were the financial aid checklists disabled

[queen glade]

price is a policy school at usc which only really offers policy

[eager hollow]

bc decisions are near??

[queen glade]

prevent astrology prolly

[queen glade]

yes

[tiny crest]

A: OU, UTulsa, Grinnell
WL: Case (PPSP), JHU
R: MIT, WashU, Northwestern, USC

[remote flame]

dear yale,

i know i didn't submit a picture of myself to you in my original application, but if i had done that, i worry that you might have thought me MORE handsome than handsome dan, and i never want to outshine him. but i hope you know that i will only enrich yale's attractive student body with my own handsome features, which i believe warrants an acceptance from you. please do accept me tomorrow. you would be a (new) haven for all of my multifaceted interests.

god bless,
boba

[regal relic]

My Dearest Yale University,

I write to you from the warm embrace of the mythical island of Ogygia, where I, Calypso, have resided for eons, weaving the tapestry of countless tales of love, heartache, and longing. As I have observed the world from afar, I've found myself inexplicably drawn to you, my beloved Yale.

Oh, Yale, with your venerable walls adorned in ivy, your magnificent Gothic architecture a testament to the wisdom and knowledge housed within. You stand as a beacon, guiding the brightest minds to your hallowed halls, where their dreams take flight and transform into wondrous realities. It is your dedication to nurturing these gifted souls that has enchanted me, leaving me yearning to be a part of your world.

My heart swells with admiration as I think of your prestigious reputation, built upon the shoulders of the intellectual giants who have walked your pathways before. As the moon tides ebb and flow, so does my desire to traverse the labyrinth of your library, seeking out the secrets of the universe nestled within the pages of ancient tomes and modern marvels alike.

The lilting melodies of laughter and fervent debate that fill the air around you are music to my ears, as the passionate exchange of ideas creates a harmony unmatched by even the most divine of sirens. Your diverse community of scholars, artists, and visionaries from all corners of the Earth has woven a vibrant tapestry, one that I long to be a part of and contribute to with my own ethereal touch.

Your commitment to social justice and the betterment of humankind speaks to the deepest parts of my soul, for even an immortal goddess such as myself cannot resist the allure of a noble cause. As the seasons change and the world evolves, I know that I can rely on you, my cherished Yale, to remain steadfast in your quest to shape the leaders of tomorrow and create a brighter future for all.

As I send this love letter to you on the wings of a celestial dove, I can only hope that you feel the intensity of my longing and the sincerity of my devotion. I yearn for the day when I may leave my island prison and become one with you, forever intertwined in a dance of knowledge, growth, and love.

Until that day comes, know that you are the keeper of my heart and the object of my deepest affection.

Yours, for all eternity,

Calypso

Dear Yale,
I have labored through far too many chemistry courses to know the synthesis of some particularly reactive compounds. This is ofc not a threat in any manner whatsoever, but just felt that you needed to know of my prolific knowledge in explosives before you contemplate handing me a rejection.

You are on the right track. Admissions are hyper competitive and at that point, it’s just based on luck

[tame rapids]

altho i would say re-applying, especially as an intl, doesnt guarantee anything and it'd be cool if you keep good backup options wherever you are

that being said its def not a long shot and you could and should give it a try anyways

[spring ravine]

anyone's slate still not say decided

[royal surge]

No astrolofy

Pleas

[trail arch]

yea its like that

everyones is like that

im gonna cry lol i feel so demotivated

[spring ravine]

huh

this isn't astrology

lol

[royal surge]

Portal astrology and slate tend to go hand in hand

[spring ravine]

tend to

I'm not tryna see if it means anything I'm j wondering

[digital zodiac]

i hate astrology

just open ur decision bruh

[royal surge]

[spring ravine]

[manic verge]

No, only on the portal for me

[granite stratus]

[digital zodiac]

yale doesn't do that. at least when i applied rea i never got one

[granite stratus]

ah ok makes sense

[short turtle]

yea samesame

PLEASE YALE LET ME IN

I WILL BUY DAN SOME TREATS FOR DANCING FOR ME

I WANNA BE YALE ‘27 YOU KNOW ME YOU LOVE ME

[regal relic]

idk but i figured out the household verification thing that some select # of people got was just fafsa

[hushed rain]

Huh?

[regal relic]

else dartmouth wouldn’t have registered it as the fafsa selection of verification

[hushed rain]

What about internationals lol

[regal relic]

there was some rumor that having this one finaid doc for yale meant that you’re in

and it’s not true

[hushed rain]

Ik that

[regal relic]

else this wouldn’t be on my dartmouth portal

[hushed rain]

But how is it fafsa if I have it

[regal relic]

i didn’t submit that for dartmouth

it picked up fafsa verification

[hushed rain]

Yale literally says please upload this through IDOC

Isn't that for the CSS profile only

[regal relic]

yeah, I know and so did the dartmouth finaid doc

and that’s just fafsa verification

it’s random

[hushed rain]

Well I don't have fafsa

But I have the verification form

[regal relic]

i guess intls can get it too? i don’t know

[hushed rain]

Because I submitted one through IDOC

[nimble lance]

IDOC is a CSS thing

i think

[hushed rain]

Idt it had anything to do with fafsa

[regal relic]

yeah, this said submit through IDOC though

[hushed rain]

Yea

[next pendant]

i checked my fafsa and it wasn't selected for verif

even though i got the form

[regal relic]

not sure then

[next pendant]

for yale and dartmouth only

no other school

[regal relic]

i really don’t think it means anything

[next pendant]

i know

[regal relic]

i got it for yale and dartmouth only too

[hushed rain]

No I have it for Duke too

Not Dartmouth

[next pendant]
