strong steeple
#

Dis they ask you about that in your interview?

tidal ridge
#

They also weren’t a stemmy person

strong steeple
#

Good to know..

tidal ridge
#

I just know my interviewer didn’t have the same field of interest as me

rustic silo
#

i just talked about art with my interviewer

tidal ridge
#

Fr it was so chill

#

They highkey didn’t ask me anything about Yale

rustic silo
#

she was an art history major so i wanted to talk about something she was interested in

rustic silo
tidal ridge
#

I’m a stem girly but my interviewer was a history major

slim grove
#

my interview was a public health offical so I got lucky

tidal ridge
#

She’s incredibly involved in the alumni network tho so I don’t think it was a completely random pair up

slim grove
#

she asked me about myself, my background, my research, and if I would do study abroad programs

tidal ridge
#

Danggg

#

Yea I didn’t get any of that but I’m also glad I didn’t lol

slim grove

she joined the call from the backseat of her car at a parking lot šŸ’€

rustic silo
#

mine was in person

tidal ridge
#

We just talked more about our interests and fun things

rustic silo
#

yeah same here

#

i told her about the time i got locked inside of Silliman College while visiting lol

slim grove
#

does yale care about demonstrated interest

#

probably not right

tidal ridge
#

Nope

worthy bolt
#

No tbh the part of my application that I’m most confident in is my interview 😭

snow garden
#

hm i couldn’t tell if mine liked me

worthy bolt
#

I’m sure they did

snow garden
#

bc at one point he said something like ā€œwow that’s impressive, do u have time to have fun?ā€ and i think it could’ve been a joke but now i’m wondering if he meant it as a dig šŸ¤“

Ig I'll open them on my phone while alone in bed and not tell anyone that I was rejected til they see my mood the next morning

Tbh at least u get to sleep on it

Yeah if I can fall asleep

i'm at a boarding school and i REFUSE to be on campus when i get rejected lmao

Yeah nope

Especially if other ppl are opening it

If its good news though I'll get up and celebrate

Thankfully I'm the only person here applying to the US so I'll be safe

Idk anything ab that place

Why thank you

#

I suppose it is cool

tidal yacht
#

that's very cool!

#

i'm from alabama lmao

worthy bolt
copper elk
#

Honestly there's not much to k ow about present day kosovo

#

We got enough history to fill volumes though

worthy bolt
tidal yacht
copper elk
#

Well its a very unique blend of albanian, Turkish, and slav culture

#

Nowhere else like it

#

Especially visible in the architecture and academia

#

Yugoslavian architecture has a unique cham to it that emulates Russian architecture with a sort of interesting spin on brutalism

#

Contrast that with the Islamic architecture scattered throughout and the albanian historical sites and it makes for a really interesting urban visage

#

Have you seen the prishtina public library btw

tidal yacht
#

no!

#

woooooah thats so cool

no way! I'm from around mobile

i talked to the governer of my state once but she's a total goofball

she's got some crazy commercials around youtube

this is such a cool view in person btw (obligatory not my photo)

oh no way

man there are so many little things like this that i nerd over it was really hard not getting ahead of myself in the personal statement

#

ive got a weird affinity towards the soviet brutalism

#

it just looks so neat to me

worthy bolt
#

it looks so cool but so uninhabitable to me

copper elk
#

have you ever been around em

#

a large chunk of gjakova is like that and its honestly a lot better than it seems

#

can get a bit depressing during the winter but theres a certain charm to it

#

granted theyre not that well maintained anymore

copper elk
#

ok i think im spamming at this point but just real quick, this is from moscow but its the exact model of half of the buildings here (wikipedia calls em 1-335s)

worthy bolt
#

those look like my mom’s dorm building when she was in college😭

#

that’s so interesting, we just have suburban McMansions all over the place where I live

copper elk
#

honestly though my weird affinity is probably due to nostalgia in large parts

worthy bolt
#

hey I mean it made me nostalgic so I get it lol

snow garden
#

i love that

copper elk
#

if i try to look at them objectively they look depressing af but all i can think of is going to my relatives apartments as a kid and roaming round the halls and park

snow garden
#

i have the nostalgia thing too. i moved from downtown atl where all the houses are super old

#

and whenever i see those old beat up neighborhoods i love it

copper elk
#

the 2 main types seem to be brick and panel khrushchevkas but that distinction doesnt seem to really be consistently reflected in the naming scheme so

#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

worthy bolt
#

when I went to china I saw rly similar buildings

#

Dk if they’re the exact same but

tidal ridge
snow garden
copper elk
#

i mean it makes a lot of sense to do it this way, there are likely hundreds of thousands of these identical buildings, theyre extremely cheap, and they need to fit some specs

worthy bolt
#

interesting I’m wondering if some of the communist ideology influenced the two nations to develop those industrial-type housing

#

Bc in America we have cookie cutter houses but they aren’t like those

teal tusk
copper elk
#

i suppose the logistics of distributing amenities made the model codes really appealing

teal tusk
#

thank god yall aint applied to harvard rea

copper elk
#

well i think its a cost thing more than anything

copper elk
#

theyre really cheap and dense and you didnt really have a choice

copper elk
#

just no walkability

worthy bolt
#

I wish we had walkable cities 🄲

#

Or at least good public transport

copper elk
#

thats something i think commie blocks do really well by contrast, all the shops are either underground or on the ground floor, a lot of offices are in the building, each development has a common park

#

and due to the high density and cars being quite unnecessary the outside is pretty much pristine

#

at least development wise

worthy bolt
#

Americans love the idea of buying a house for themselves šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

copper elk
#

hey i mean i get it, ive never lived in an apartment myself

#

but man does it get lonely

#

as for the aesthetics, theyre really easy to modernise it seems. this is just a bit of cork and paint i think

Guys I’ve been feeling a wave of negative energy these days

Who else feels the samešŸ’€

#

ive accepted the fact that im not getting in

I'm not used to things going my way so I can't even imagine a world in which I get in

Honestly I'm more scared of being deferred

That seems likely given my sorta unique app but not stellar-by-yale-standards test scores and whatnot

I've found that as I get further and further away from my depressive episode I'm able to catch myself being overly negative and stop the thought faster and faster with each cycle of introspection

So you've at least got that to look forward to

#

Been a bumpy decade so far for me

spice willow
# final chasm HOPEFULLY

cuz like if i get rejected it will start the negative cycle and i'd rather it go postitve -> negative than negative _> even more negative LMAO

copper elk
#

Honestly I think if you lot get in that'll soften the blow a bit for me if I don't

#

At least I'll have something to celebrate

#

So ig I'll be here counting it down next Thursday eve

like i was anxious during questbridge decisions for NO REASON

i didnt even apply through questbridge

but my heart was pounding

yale is like the only school i want to go to

#

oof

copper elk
#

Anyone you knew?

#

Honestly I wouldn't say that myself but it does have a huge lead on 2nd place for me

#

It's not really close

#

My biggest issue right now is that everyone in my life is convinced that this is gonna be extremely easy for me

# reef geode Does Yale interview most of their applicants like Harvard??

Yale is supposedly on the need for "additional information". That could be good or bad -- this is not clear to anyone. Good bc they remain interested in you and possibly bad bc your file wasn't clear enough in the first place. If they are only interviewing to make a final "sanity" check on you before a "yes" -- that could be very good news.

Thanks. Can'r see my application being an auto accept - thats the problem! I read somewhere than less than 50/100 applications overall fall in that category!

No one can really see if their app is an auto accept

True..there is some leaked info from the BF of an admissions person online somehere

re the number of autoadmits

just cause the pool is competitive

#

Oh cool

let me find the link - one second

If the number is that small, then I’d assume its probably most/all recruited athletes

wow so it seems like being an ā€œauto-admitā€ literally means having insane accomplishments like IMO

strong steeple

#

The guy's post sounds realistic...

tidal ridge
#

By auto admit do y’all mean no interview? Or just auto admit

strong steeple
#

Likely no interview

#

Of course in 2011 they were interviewing far more people, so teh auto abmit rates have probaboy changed a lot since then

One of my friends last year didn’t have an interview and got in, but he certainly didn’t have anything crazy like imo or any other huge thing like that

East coast?

Any geography hook?

Nope

Maybe it had to do with availability

Is this the first year they changed up their interview policies?

strong steeple

Interesting..maybe some hidden ECs you wre unaware of? smile

No, they supposedly had the new policy since last year.

Uhh probably but nothing extremely spectacular
I don’t come form an crazy competitive area

But it is competitive for my region

They interviewed only 9000 candidates last year -- as compared to maybe 20000+ in the past

If you had a stellar interview but not so great recs, they can sort of balance out

Would they even bother with an interview if you had no so great recs

Which is why holistic admissions is a thing, if your overall app is strong but there may be a few pause factors then they need pieces of evidence to still back u up

How much weight does legacy hold if your parent didn’t donate much?

Ok cool

What about a letter from someone at the school, like a professor giving a letter of support?

Legacy isn’t a guarantee tho, I think 11% of legacies get admitted

Oh wow ok

# lusty obsidian Ok cool

No, 11 percent of the enrolled students are legacies. The admit rates for legacies is much higher. 20-25 percent at least.

# lusty obsidian Ok cool

Yale profs this year were specifically asked to not write letters of support by the provost (in an email sent campus wide). apparently it had become too much of a racket

They aren’t more job-based (situational or behavioural), more based on ur course/subject u applying for. For example I applied for chemistry and I had 3 interviews (organic, inorganic and physical) and they have u there actually solving questions in front of them and then they challenge u to use ur common sense and the knowledge u already have to go a step further

#

Sometimes they even ask u funny questions like ā€œwhy dont fishes freezeā€ ā€œtell me how many people are currently drinking coffee in Londonā€ and etc

Does Yale count a A- as a 3.7?

that entirely depends on what your counselor says iirc

it should be on the report

so I was wondering how yale viewed them

i think they self calculate it based on the information that your counselor provides on difficulty and whatnot

although it may be different for APs and the like

at least thats what it said on my counselor's commonapp page

Last-minute anxiety: what if I got perfect pre-IB and IB scores in every semester except for the last one of my junior year (and it was really bad in Yale standards, I believe) due to medical situations (which should have been explained in the counselor LoR).
