4.35% is a solid 1 in 23 chance; sounds like pretty good odds to me

tight silo
#

when decision coming out

crystal spear
#

hour and a half

feral echo
#

How come the ascerptabce rate is the same as last yr

chrome mirage
#

Do all the ivy decisions come out at the same time or is it staggered?

tall monolith
olive oriole
#

they all come out at the same time 😃

crystal spear
#

they usually accept around the same amount every year and around the same number applied this year so the acceptance rate was similar

that all being said if u have any specific program questions / vibe questions lmk

i won't be too good at comparisons as i only got into yale in the US butttttt tbh asking students at each college who go there and comparing urself is probably the best way

i would say the residential college system is also far stronger than ptons

that being said i personally have had no issues but

#

ymmv

#

ypd are everywhere and do actually investigate any issues but like, its not cambridge and im not gonna pretend it is

yea for sure i think its important being transparent abt shit like that and its good that yale is

sly fossil
#

but pton ppl are very cool and the campus is beautiful

#

eating clubs are hella chill dude

sly fossil
#

ehhh they just felt weird to me

#

i imagine some people have thought the same about all the secret societies at yale

regal loom
#

people always moan and groan about them being elitist but princeton will cover eating club costs + there are sign in clubs + 1/3 of people dont even join one

#

ya theres def way worse instances of elitism at pton

#

but overall i think its not as bad as people make it out to be

Not Yale spamming me with welcome emails but ignoring the financial aid question I asked

#

Which is urgent

#

They don't even have an email for financial aid I had to send it through a contact form💀

glad dagger

bro I sent them an email like two weeks ago and didn't reply

#

so I sent them one again today

hushed rain
#

Omg they made a huge mistake on my aid app

#

And I need them to revise it asap

#

I know a Yale alum and he called them today about this

They said if I email today they answer in around 2 hours

#

But didn't

hahahah sorry them

Oh ok😭😂

they’d never let me into the financial aid office

#

nobody would come out of there alive

hushed rain
wind cipher
#

wdym aren’t you choosing between Yale and Penn

#

you’d need a visa for both, right?

hushed rain
#

Yes but I need my I-20

#

And for that I need my financial aid offer

wind cipher
#

ah

#

okay quick round

#

given same aid which would you choose

hushed rain
#

Yale

wind cipher
#

ok yale matches all financial aid packages (generally imo don’t kill me if I’m wrong) so you’re good

hushed rain
#

I don't have the correct package for Penn either

wind cipher
#

oop

#

There was a problem with my css

So my student work contribution is 15$

what was your efc calculated as per the css form?

if you’re willing to share

My parents make 4.6k a year

off the top of your head then

I qualify for the zero parent share award

damn alright

I just have to send an explanation about the currency (we have 2 because of sanctions) and the exchange rate (again, 2 because of sanctions)

#

They'll fix it

#

At least Penn does

wind cipher
#

they better

hushed rain
#

Because I talked to an Iranian student there who had the same issue last year

wind cipher
#

if Penn fixes it first you can always send a nasty email to Yale’s financial aid office explaining your situation again and giving them a nice screenshot of your Penn portal

hushed rain
#

Yeah I'll do it if they respond faster

wind cipher
#

#

also what major do you tentatively want to be?

I thought it would have been extremely competitive but I know a lot of people doing YDN

hushed rain
#

But Penn has way cooler publications ngl

wind cipher
#

what makes you want to choose Yale over Penn?

hushed rain
#

And a specific publication for the middle east

hushed rain
wind cipher
#

wait shit does Penn not have comparable policies

#

that is very wack.

hushed rain
#

They do but Yale covers more costs

#

And faster support for surgeries

#

I still wanna talk to more current students

hushed rain

if they were the same

#

where do you lean

Oh that's hard I need to do more research to choose

#

They'd be equal

#

I also wanna start a research project in assistive / prosthetic body parts

#

No school has this exact thing I wanna do

#

BUT

#

Penn has a dedicated research group to prosthetic technologies

#

Yet Yale has more resources in prosthetic limb development

#

But no specific research group

#

So this is another area I need to do more research on

wind cipher
#

yeah but I’m assuming there are individual professors and labs working on prosthetics

in all practicality it should be the same experience, right?

This sucks because I wanna start researching and see where do I wanna commit and stuff

I’m in the same boat lol

#

Trying to not invest myself emotionally but it’s hard because yale has been my dream for 5 years

And getting a visa is harder than the whole college apps process

So there’s that too

As long as you don't say you plan on staying in the US

(after graduation)

sly fossil
#

never ever tell them you plan on staying in the US

you will immediately be rejected for ur visa

an f-1 visa is explicitly a short term non-resident visa with no path to residency, and so u need to act like you are applying for a short term non-resident visa with no path to residency lol

It's gonna cost me my whole salary just to get an appointment

where r u from, if u dont mind me asking?

btw

#

yale will cover SEVIS fee

#

they dont cover ds-160 tho

hushed rain
#

WAIT SERIOUSLY

sly fossil
#

yeah

hushed rain
#

Omg

#

I have a question

#

How am I supposed to get money from Yale

#

Like

#

My financial aid covers travel expenses

#

But we're sanctioned

#

So how are they gonna give that money to me

#

I can't open a bank account

sly fossil
#

okay so for the SEVIS fee its covered if ur parent share is less than $10k and yale will pay it directly

hushed rain
#

I'll ask the financial aid counselor on Monday

hushed rain
sly fossil
#

but

#

once ur here u can get a US bank account

#

and just withdraw to that

#

which is what i do

hushed rain
#

But that's still too much for my family so I'm gonna appeal

hushed rain
sly fossil
#

yes i definitely would recommend

#

do u have a zoom apt?

hushed rain
sly fossil
#

good shit

hushed rain
#

You think they'll accept the appeal?

sly fossil
#

ehhh hard to say i know some people who got accepted immediately and some people who had to try a few times

#

how is penns aid?

#

is it better?

hushed rain
sly fossil
#

oh

#

yale has an unofficial matching policy

hushed rain
#

For some reason my messages trigger auto mod

sly fossil
#

it might be an uphill battle but given it's likely not a significant amount of money

#

you should be good

hushed rain
#

Lemme dm you

sly fossil
#

sure

uncut hazel
sly fossil
#

yeah ur main things to do r u need to emphasise home connections etc

#

lots of people overstay visas so u gotta make sure they don't think u will

#

there's lots of good resources online i suggest u google

uncut hazel
#

ohhh okay i mean my family’s here and i genuinely am prolly 50-50 on coming back and working in london since it has everything biotech/vc so i’ll just promote that angle more than the possibility of me working and emigrating

cheers, i’ll make sure to check it out :>

Mhm

#

Can Yale students cross register anywhere?

#

I did search on Google but couldn't find anything

#

Fuck I'm falling in love with Yale

I hope I can attend

Wtf this is hogwarts

The intramural sports aren't the same every year?

sly fossil

#

Or it's just different based on the seasons

sly fossil
#

honestly im not involved so I couldn't tell u

hushed rain
hushed rain
sly fossil
#

uhhhh i dont think yale has cross registering as there aren't any nearby unis that are similarly good

#

that being said

#

u can take language classes at columbia thru zoom

#

for certain languages that yale doesn't offer

hushed rain
#

Nah

#

Ok then

#

What about summer courses

sly fossil
#

i mean u can spend an entire semester or summer at a gazillion other institutions

#

check study abroad page

#

lots of options

hushed rain
#

Alright tnx

sly fossil
#

Yale doesn't rly push studying in the US over summer beyond at Yale thru Yale Summer Session

#

they want u abroad lol

#

in terms of aid ur eligible for the ISA which is non competitive, also there are some not that competitive scholarships with stipulations (eg Light)

hushed rain
sly fossil
#

that being said you may be surprised, if you have an F-1 under ur belt it might help a lot

hushed rain
#

Is the tyng cup really that important?

#

To students?

#

Or is that just advertisement

#

Bruh I'm a perfect fit for Yale they have my EXACT sports in Tyng

#

Well I mean Penn does too

#

But some of the schools I applied to didn't

sly fossil
#

i mean a lot of students care a lot of students don't

#

it's sort of just a way to have fun

like they're low commitment asf

y’all, i need some input. i was lucky to get into Stanford and Yale and I am stuck on deciding which one to go to. I haven’t gotten my Yale FinAid yet but Stanford would be a full ride. I know my friends are telling me to go where the money resides but I honestly am so lost in this decision. Do you guys have any advice😭

onyx kelp
#

What is your major @gloomy cedar

gloomy cedar
#

My major is Poli Sci but I want to double in Data Science

silent aspen
#

Probably stanford in that regard

#

but there is really no going wrong

onyx kelp
#

^ agree with zeph

wind cipher
#

so choose whichever school you think is best independent of aid

manic sparrow
#

Is it better to ask them to match through the form or through a meeting with financial aid?

sly fossil
sly fossil
#

yale doesn't have a data science major so that might be a problem

#

that all being said the most important factor is probably vibes as both schools are not really places u can go wrong

uncut hazel
#

yale probably has better international polisci stuff

#

but stanford’s data science must be godly

#

so depends which of those you value most

uncut hazel
#

my friend has two yale law profs for parents do i nudge him to nudge them because i'm waitlisted and that makes a man very desperate fr

California weather is better but Stanford is ironically enough further from the beach

#

Yells campus is much more dense, eclectic, and enclosed while Stanford ‘s is more spread out and uniform

sly fossil
#

the Stanford campus is ugly tbh

#

the only nice thing is that it's enclosed

like if school X cost 80k and gives a 50k scholarship so youd pay 30k, and yale cost 90k and gives a 55k scholarship so youd pay 35k, would they match school X by giving 5k more? or is it only if yale is giving you less scholarship amount than school X?

#

The difference between my sister's aid from Stanford vs Yale is actually kind of insane

#

Stanford's asking us to pay $16k while Yale's asking us to pay $45k

silent aspen
#

That can't be right can it?

manic sparrow
#

Yeah we have no idea - they both got the same info

#

We've talked to and submitted docs to Yale, so we'll see what changes.

silent aspen

Hopefully the result changes

@manic sparrow odd question, but is your parents house very valuable?

td silliman and new colleges dont

Do u know if they can schedule a flight for me because I think travel costs are covered in my fin aid

But like

jovial tinsel

#

I can't schedule flights to the US from Iran

#

And we don't have credit cards either

sly fossil

So I'll have to pay like 1.3 - 1.5 the price

sly fossil
#

you get your refund into a bank account

#

and then it's ur problem

only thing to note is that you do get your refund in aug/sep not before u get here so u will have to pay urself then effectively get that money back

I can't open one without a SSN

I opened one when I got here

and didn't have an SSN

hushed rain
#

So it's probably way later than September or August

hushed rain
#

We need either an ssn or a work visa

sly fossil
#

you may want to talk to finaid about this, this is slightly out of my pay grade i cant lie

hushed rain
#

Cool ok I will

sly fossil
#

i suspect you'd need to land a job then apply for an SSN and then open a bank account

#

campus jobs r easy to come by

hushed rain
sly fossil
#

and the SSN office is fairly efficient

#

though ymmv

#

my campus job (student technology collaborative) will be hiring in the fall lmao

#

along with basically everything else

hushed rain
#

Did u work your first semester

#

I'll have enough finaid credits for my first semester I think but I'll need to pay my parents back for the flight it's worth 2-3 months of work here

sly fossil
#

but plenty of people start as freshmen

#

most tbh

hushed rain
#

Otherwise I wanna wait until second semester before getting a job

hushed rain
sly fossil
#

it's much easier to land a job in the fall

#

most big campus employers only do one round a year

#

which is in the fall

hushed rain

Where can I see the job offerings

I have my netID and stuff

Nvm found it
