Yale (2022-2023)

[uncut hazel]

frrrr

his ECs are super concentrated/spiky around econ

mine are well-rounded but completely unrelated to math/physics/cs lmao

[hushed rain]

Which CYP did yall go to

[sly fossil]

i did oiss

led focus

[hushed rain]

Ooh how was it

I'm in between oiss and focus for my first choice, museums (Yale arts) for second choice

[sly fossil]

it's kinda useless if ur not an international

you mostly spend ur time making friends with other intls and setting up important things / going to semi useless talks

focus is more goal-oriented - you're helping out at a certain charity whilst learning about somewhat important things, but you're denied the time to set up, say, a bank account

[hushed rain]

I am

[hushed rain]

Here's the thing I can't make a bank account anyway, so might as well do another cyp

[sly fossil]

fair, and setting up a SIM is kinda easy

for me I also just liked having the time to buy the shit I needed

they literally take u on a target trip

moving everything in, buying stuff and organising your shit takes time and the lack of intensity of OISS made it rly nice

FOCUS is fun but intense

you won't have much free time

[hushed rain]

Ok I'll put ois as my first choice then ig

[uncut hazel]

yale wl rejection 😔

does target size mean they're not taking anyone? or is it just a rejection

[sacred gyro]

yeah

got the same

i mean they say they've reached the target size so they're done this year

[royal ferry]

Since it’s so early I think it just means that their class got filled

[jovial tinsel]

Same, I think they just reached class size

[uncut hazel]

damn

it's alright i'm super happy w columbia

and pumped for the stanford/princeton wls (not optimistic, i just like getting updates 😭)

grad school lessgooooo baby

[jovial tinsel]

^^^ lol same

🤲

[vivid viper]

Lol I left yale so quick after opting in😭

[hushed rain]

I think there are 1650 freshmen this year

No 1649 actually lol

[uncut hazel]

wow that's huge

[warped fulcrum]

Yo

[inland ether]

That’s so small wtf

[hushed rain]

It's actually a lot compared to previous years

[prisma fern]

Yeah they sent all of us an email asking that we should consider taking a gap year lol

[uncut hazel]

lmao what how did that go

[silent aspen]

thats really nice

[prisma fern]

Idk anyone personally who decided to take a gap year but I’d bet the total number of students doing such would be in the single digits💀

[viscid wigeon]

doing so in response to the email? probably single digits yeah

total? last year there were like 50 gaps

[prisma fern]

oh interesting

[sly fossil]

i think they do this every year

or maybe that's harvard

idk either way yield was a bit higher than predicted

i think the target student body size is 6200 which is 1550/yr, not 1650.

hopefully not enough to fuck up housing to the extent it got fucked for co24 and co25 but we will see lol
