Could. Would depend on the rest of the package, right? Any hooks?
My counselor striaght up told me that it does affect you, but since its holistic admissions, you could still get in
fgli, urm, underrepresented state, semi-rural area i guess
I have 1 B+ so I asked him
do u mean that 40/42 is not a competitive score
Those are excellent hooks
the rest of my app was quite good but i worried about my grades lol
Semi-Rural is great too!
I mean like it's still competitive but IB is kinda random depends on your context so
yeh fine
yeah haha but they're race blind
i mean they can probably tell im urm cause i wrote about my heritage in my essays
FR I've learned a lot of whimsical ways to calculate their IB scores for predicted grades or so just in my city...
IB in IB's shape😂
For sure. Plus FGLI is important.
yep a lot of schools overpredict as well 😭
karma karma
honestly i dont know how to feel at this point
my school way under predicted thank god i’m applying after acc doing the exams
theres no resources on my chances because im such a specific case of applicant
also doesnt help that we dont follow a standard international curriculum
why wdum
well theres like 20 people a year that apply to the us from my country
ohhhh fine
and im the only yale rea applicant in 2 years i think
good luck !
thank you
seems to me that under predicted is at least better than over predicted...
tbf i think the resources for international applicants are lacking
nah bc i couldn’t apply to uni so i had to take a gap year
we are third class citizen smh
bc i wouldn’t have got in w my predicted grades
🤞 ohhh IC. good luck then
i prefer crying alone
yh i will record too! i dont record any of my other reactions tho but this is kinda special i guess
it would be a good memory if you got in!
i cant really react to it or even turn the light on so i dont know if thered be anything for me to see
it does quite suck that itll be 11pm here when the result comes
thats well past my bedtime
!yaleea
itll come out at 6am for me so ill be able to check immediately when i wake up 😭
i doubt if you'll be able to sleep that night

SO TRUE 😔
maybe i'll stay up the night before so i can sleep for even longer HAHA
girl 😭❤️
that's a good way to handle things
manifesting we get in or at least deferred 🙏
I'm cupcake btw and we've talked lol (in case mr. luck wasn't familiar)
yeah ik!! <3
you got this ❤️
where did the name mrs. luck come from HAHA
there's a harvard kis luck on harvard thread
he suggested the change for good luck
i can say luck is with me now
if that makes sense lol
ohhhhh yeah i think ive seen them before
u prolly have
anyone wanna dm each others profile for fun lol
give me the harsh truth
I’ve expected to get deferred or rejected
hopefully they defer a lot less this yr
sure send me a dm !
im down as well
Hey guys whoever was talking about likely letters earlier I’m like pretty sure they don’t send them ea round unless ur an athlete or something
yeah they don't
the yale podcast says the same
good to know
!yaleea
!yaleea
you’ve already seen my chance me 😭
Lol
yas
guys i cant
how do u feel abt decisions coming out in 72 hours
72 hours for me to submit my rds!
for real
lol but it's crazy
bro talking facts
period trying to get some college work done before then
Yo
!yaleea
Help I accidentally pressed the withdraw my application button but closed it out before it could prompt anything
Did it go thru 😭😭
no worries -- it takes many steps to actually withdraw
no lol they'd never make it that easy
bro looked at cc
they know ppl click it out of curiosity and on accident
yeah
Yeah I was lured and entranced but snapped out of it 😅
You brave bruh
you'd be surprised how many ppl click it out of curiosity
just to see what it asks
lmao take this as a sign to get off the portal and do ur HW 😂
Yes ma’am 🫡🫡
We eat all the other ivies up with our decision release time 😋
Physics 💀
omg I have a rotational motion physics test tmrw
Im so screwed
I have my physics midterm tmrw 😔
Yeah we aren’t even there yet tbh 😭
Hey at least we have stuff to take our minds off yale 😈
fr
you got this!
also obligatory hate train on moment of inertia integrals
i found my regional AO here on linkedin 💀 i wasnt even trying to find her
woah
like someone actually reads my app
what do you mean? How do you know she is your regional AO?
i know who mine is just bc my friend met him during bulldog days and for some reason i didn’t put two and two together
mark 💀
mark dunn
it said they read apps from my state
who can find the yale regional ao for minnesota 😭
Y’all it’s too late to even care 😭 unless ur super curious
im curious
i found the one for mn lol
her name is jacqueline folmar
Isnt mark the ao in the yale admissions podcast
Or am i jst hallucinating
yea
Yup they are all on Linkedin..Not that it matters! 😄
omg mark went to vandy and yale my two favs
Please don’t stalk your AOs 
fr
!yaleea
!yaleea
!yaleea
😭 y’all it’s ok
The panic is setting in lmao
Sexyyy😍
!yaleea
Officially ‘next tomorrow’

I am too hyped for this ngl
cracked applicant problems ig
🥲 i wish
it's my first college decision so I wanna see what it feels like
by like sheer numbers / statistics alone my chance is abyssmal, but still I can't wait uk
!yaleea
Y’all I took ashwagandha and I’m so numb 😭 I feel like if I get rejected I fr wouldn’t care
What is ashwagandha and where can we get some
is deferral or straight rejection more likely at yale?
reject ofc
ok phew so when im straight rejected i'll be in the majority
this is oddly comforting
bro ur not losing 80$ for nothing
wasnt it 10 accept, 70 reject and 20 deferred - or something close to that in last years EA?
!yaleea
2 days is crazy
im so happy i got the fee waived
cant imagine paying for a rejection
i keep seeing this, honestly you do you but like guys just chill out and wait for decisions
yea
yeah i wouldn't personally because it brings more stress to your decision
Wait it out
i'd only apply to like 3 schools if i had to pay app fees 💀
cus how tf do ppl afford to shotgun
without waivers
ik right! i would apply to a few as well, because i dont see how anyone would ever work to afford extreme amounts of app fees
common app fee waiver is the best
real
oh and good luck for harvard!
u too for yale 
we are potentially rivals in 2 days 
what’s the income max for fee waivers? would ~100k qualify?
yeowch ok nvm
or u can have a counselor or official write a letter saying you need the waiver, or get an sat waiver
super easy
dont say this ;-;
I don’t think I qualify which is fine ig
same prolly ngl
I wonder how much selection there is in here -- are the folks most interested and the most likely to get in logging on here? Or the opposite
Probably somewhere in the upper-mid level of competitiveness
Does anyone know when Harvard, Stanford and Princeton results come out?
I'm gonna guess its a fair spread
Just sayin cos there are a lot of students here w great stats
no, just from folks informally sharing stuff
ah valid valid
!yaleea
Okay so I'm thinking of applying on a kind of whim...
wait what yale waived u? how long did it take
yeah, it wasnt yale its a common app fee waiver which means all college fees are waived
isnt it always supposed to be there
damn fr?
for what its worth yale waived my css profile
my bad
Yeah
so dramatic
wait have they made a decision on everyone
id assume so but its just so surreal
id imagine yea by now
no no i didnt click
lmao imma check
rn they're prob just wrapping packages for admitted students
wait can we click on it safely?
hope they spell my name right frfr
Yeah its really hard to actually withdraw

u have to enter text n studf
show usss
click submit
good idea!
well whether this is a sign or not (i think its at least edging towards portal astrology), it does help lower my expectations
this might sound really dumb but i have an irrational hatred for these checkmarks on their webpage
just follow the rest of the design language smh
No portal astrology thanks
this is so real
well well well
honestly i think all of you should go ahead and hit it
it shows balls and thats what yale wants
But this isnt portal astrology. Just something Yale does once decisions are entered
anyway
i can just picture my AO flipping a coin at this point
the yale admissions podcast is great
They have an episode on what they do in the final weeks
showing a financial aid page and having someone say, "for what its worth, every accepted person ive seen online had gotten it" is portal astrology
hope that helps
oh u mean that, ok that ill take lol
oh rip
patience befall you guys in these trying times
i didnt do these EA and even I want the time to move faster
!yaleea
woah
Not sure I follow..did you have "admissions O had made a decision on you" once you clicked withdraw??
nope
ok
its just what it says normally
yeah, mine too
portal astrology tho
LMAO guys dont play around with the withdraw button
we can't talk about this
LOL whoops
true
who are you to stop me from shooting myself in the foot
it isnt that easy to withdraw..multiple steps after clicking that button!
do demonstrate
exactly
nope..it just withdraws
This was trippy to read
JHU
lmao yeah
you?
nu doesn’t do ed2 💔
honestly im torn between bowdoin and washu
both are imo better than yale at specific things but not better as an overall package
To be completely honest the only reason why I didn’t ed vandy rice or nu was bc of prestige 😭
But I’d def be happy going to any one of those
vandy and rice are also up there for me
though theyre a step down because of location
is not getting an interview a bad sign???
No
Nope lol
!yaleea
!!!!
Could mean a quick (auto) reject, could mean a clear enough application that no additional info was needed for the committee to proceed w their discussion.
ahh ok ty
But either way don’t worry right now
also just out of curiosity how many of y'all are stem majors
Visited both. Nashville is one of America’s best cities. Houston is a little empty but the campus is great
haha tyyy
Yale is better tho location wise imo
im humanities
Also humanities but my second choice major was kinda stem (history of science med and public health)
Humanities here 😄
Guys today is very special for me
One month of not having my tax returns uploaded even tho my css is complete 🥹
happy anniversary
Same, none of my stuff is even processed besides the css
oo nice ncie
are you?
Oh sorry i just meant it'd be too far from home and the flight costs would rack up. I do love nashville though
Math major here
I applied mcdb
if E stands for econ i’m a stem major 💪
!yaleea
I'm a cs major
enviro studies 🌳
W love enviro sci although for yale i went with epe
but im doing enviro sci for brown
I applied as Biochem and biophysics
oo same!
what if my state's free lunch is for everyone 😭
ED Brown?
yeah
Cool! Good luck
tysm
!yaleea
Brown Open Curriculum is great. I wish I had Ed'd there instead of REA Yale.
yale is great i was gonna rea
Are you QB?
true story
Was
yep
ooh im planning a big event in your hood for the spring
U are?
Maybe
I know so many people (including me ngl) that regret applying REA and wish they did ED
TBH, I didn't realize how much of the REA admit rate bump over RD was likely to be just Athletes/Legacies etc. After you take that out, there is very little advantage over RD. Maybe even negative considering that REA is a stronger pool compared to RD pool for just about any school
Yeah it’s like we applied rd but earlier. Ugh and stronger applicants has me stressed
rea is wasteful unless hooked
good way to put
i think the best ed schools (t20 wise) are cornell penn duke
penn in particular bc they dont consider legacy
Wish I applied ED to Penn, idk why I wasted my rea when it’s so competitive
Yeah Penn is great
ikr
yeah i would have ed penn or cornell but every business kid does ed wharton
and only kirk is getting in
and my rea app wasnt even that great
Mine was ok but I didn’t spend months on my essays (had them done in 1 week but then rewrote them days before the deadline). My common app was fine, my app was okish I guess? I would’ve submitted something similar in rd
Yeah it’s really weird because everyone tells u that u have a better chance at getting in if u do rea and that’s why I did it
But now I kinda just feel a little like
Scammed??? I guess lol
Would’ve definitely just did Ed if I could go back in time
Yeah I thought I did too lol then I saw the amount of athletes and legacies that got in and I feel scammed too!!
Like def would’ve done Ed
Or maybe even ea
but honestly I’m done caring, I just want my decision so I can move on and do the rest of my apps 🤣
We got this y’all!
if I get deferred can I withdraw my app and submit a new one ? I feel like my entire activities section needs revamping bc I rushed thru it
we got this indeed
No
That’s what I thought 🥲 probably shouldn’t have REAd
i’m getting in
y’all are too
confidence is key
y’all need to have more confidence in your profiles, if your meant to get in you’ll get in
if not then they don’t deserve you and then when you go to a diff school and become rich and famous they’re gonna be jealous
!yaleea
its joever
No
You can do an update
u cant withdraw tho and resubmit
True
isnt this the same with ED too?
u cant withdraw at all if u apply ed/rea since its binding right
Rea is nonbinding which is why there is no advantage
i can’t believe the next class is aboutta get admitted alr 💀
hey sorry just wanted to say i ❤️ schubert’s wanderer fantasy
Speaking of Schubert, I'd recommend the arpeggione sonata forever
🫡 it's pretty fun to play
although i gave up halfway to try mendelssohn trio with a couple of friends LMAO
Wait that’s so good to hear bc I rly want to keep doing chamber music in college even as a nonmusic major
But i have to say shosty trio > mendelssohn…
if i'm being honest i only started listening to chamber this semester
but yeah for sure you should continue chamber
there's plenty of opportunities with friends, we also offer classes
https://youtu.be/os4N-dR7CuY?si=cIDG3fgxsUuEtvhI listen to the fourth mvmt if u haven’t already! it goes so hard at the climax 😋
"The Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, for violin, cello and piano, Op. 67, by Dmitri Shostakovich was written in 1944, during World War II. The composition was dedicated to Shostakovich's good friend, Ivan Sollertinsky, a Russian polymath and avid musician, who had recently died aged 41. The work received its premiere in Leningrad on 14 November 194...
What a weird time
2 pm is crazy for the west coast. Imagine seeing you got rejected from Yale in the middle of English
i end school at 11:30 lol
Tf
How’s that work
yh i am not even in school that day
8:30 to 11:30 on thursdays and fridays 8:30 to 12:00 on m-w
i like that mines at 4 bc i can walk out of school, pick a good tree to sit under, and open my portal
wtf do you do for 3 hours
Are half ur classes virtual or something
Place of work (former, if retired or deceased)
does this mean the city or like the workplace name or something
the workplace name
Shouldn’t you still have like way more school
oki thanks!
idk lol
On the block day where I only have two classes I still go from 10:15 to 2:15 or something like that
i took seven classes for two years and took a de class so this year i’m kinda free
How many are you taking
boarding school is nice bc i go back to my room free periods and just nap lmao
4
How should I comfort my gf who will be deferred or rejected from Yale? Any advice?
ig 5 but my de class ended today
??? how do you know she won’t get in LOL
😭
Because it’s Yale
Maybe get her a little gift basket or smthng
If she gets in, use it to celebrate
If she doesn’t, it’ll help cheer her up
I like that
:))
Thank you, actually.
Np!
such kind souls out there 
hope she gets in btw!
I hope she gets in too but we both think she won’t (but I’ve been very supportive lol)
is she single?


yeah keep supporting her
Lets get on vc and do it together
guys ive heard that if you go through with the withdrawal, you get a definitive decision on your portal!!!
trust me, early decision certainty hack^^
Yale's rejection letter is downright sweet and I want to frame it
guyssss have any of you applied for waiver yett
!yaleea
have they released some decisions already ?
No😂
They just edited it to class of 2028
oh
Now that's a good pick
!yaleea
!yaleea
It’s not changing y’all dw
!yaleea
fr 😭
😄
the anxiety is nibbling me up I can barely write anyting else
Yknow I'm telling myself I already got rejected and I'm getting my letter tomorrow
If anything changes that's doubly shocking
If I do get rejected fr I've already started coping
indeed
I've written most of my RDs in prep alr
I'm gonna be mad surprised if im even deferred ngl
ok no fedex or usps discussion !
tf did fedex do 😭
is there a website that will tell me my chances of getting in
sounds stupid but i’m STRESSED
The CC website folks from 2023 were talking about how there was literally NOTHING on the Yale website that would give you an indication of your outcome in advance. So, no point doom clicking on the site I suppose -- but I still cannot stop!
you have my attention 👁️ 👁️
just wanna find out already 😭not emotionally prepared for a rejection
what did u guys write ur short supps on
Me too
wait I’m not condoning that but how is being sent a package from yale to ur address not allowed ?
It gets people unnecessarily anxious, looking to see if they’re getting a package so
Resembles the effects of portal astrology even tho it’s not the same thing
makes sense, I’m guessing this won’t apply after decisions
y’all think the acceptance rate will lower this year or nah
does anyone else see that the fin aid portal says you can check it aft dec 15
mine says that
yeah a bit lower maybe but still around 10 percent?
I’m guessing 9.652%
Random decision: I'll check the result with London bridge is falling down playing
also the last time that yale had ~7,900 applicants, they accepted about 840 people
2 years ago I think
About half that for non legacy non athlete
And another half for intl
I remember reading about campus overcrowding bc of students deferring and coming to campus later after COVID. They may be trying to work the numbers down.
Not all intl takes place in REA though.
Yeah but I heard the rea acceptance rate is lower for intl than domestic
I worded it wrong
dang
Ah, good point
would you say that there would be around like 300 spots for domestic non hooked applicants
🥲
Non Athlete, Non Legacy, Non Intl = 300 is my guess
what’s the income cut off for financial aid
Minus URM -- which I am not sure about
also how many internationals r accepted ea
Wait only 300? 😭😭
Give or take 50
So like 400+ are athlete legacy and intl
I think it’s probably a bit lower than that
Athletes are about 250 a year and legacies are 150 (including some in RD -- although most are EA).
rip bad time to be bad at sports
gl ya all
Are urms more likely to get in?
I should’ve just ed somewhere
In terms of acceptance rates yes, but in terms of access to ecs, good hs, etc, no
but probabloy the same "true" rate given that the EA pool is definitely stronger than the RD
what’s an urm
Minority-racial minority
does that count religion or no
No
urm won't matter anymore
I think it will
Yeah you can still write about experiences
Funding for URM related groups in schools won’t change, there’s a diversity essay opportunity, diversity is still advantageous to schools, etc.
!yaleea

what was the diversity essay
The emoji though 🥲
When 8 minutes pass in real life,… we get 8 minutes closer to Yale ea,… scary
!yaleea
yale can acc piss off making the ea decision release so late in the day
i’m gonna be stressing all day
just wanna wake up and find out 😭
The 400 word one
i have clemson at 6 and duke at 7...
i am
It was just an opportunity not obligated
i tjink international tend to apply early to rea rather than ed
bc otherwise we can’t apply to local unis
I swear I’ve seen more intl than domestic applicants
Dw me neither
who else is intl
You mean here ?
yeah like here and reddit
I’ve seen a lot
Just wondering how many intls in the early pool
makes sense
did u guys submit sat scores ?
Intl numbers have grown quiet a lot over the years. Almost 15 percent last year.
*quite
15 percent overall (REA + ED)
How would more intls applying affect domestics?
Not a lot..
i dont tjink it would change much
The numbers change very little from year to year anyway
bc they have a pretty consistent percentage of intl in the cohort
so it just makes it more competitive for intls
That percentage has been growing over time (from 3.5 percent in 1975 to 14.5 last year), but yes, year to year it is not a big change
They may hit 15 percent this year and keep it at that
do they do it country to country basis
like do they have a quota/cap for brits or aussies etc
Probably - yeah. Just like they do state by state in the US
I submitted
do u think i’m at a serious disadvantage bc i didn’t
I actually have no idea lmao
I submitted a score below the 25th percentile though
We'll just have to see tomorrow! 
Dw won't hurt u
Depends on whether you are URM or not -- I think. If you are ORM and didn't submit or Intl and didn't submit, they may assuem you have a low score
you guys wanna be roomates when we get in
if ur urm and didn't submit?
😄
Under Rep Minority in the US = URM
i know, but what if ur an urm and didn't submit test scores?
Wouldnt hurt if the rest of the package looks good.
If you had a high score, you should have put it in, of course.
yeh my english was above 75 but maths below 25 and i didn’t submit and now i kinda regret 😭
How close to the 25
mine was the exact opposite 💀
but I also submitted my act to make up for it
exact same situation but i submitted😭
I dont think we should necessarily regret it
roughly how much would that be
i only checked that my total was average
Let’s just say I got a 790 math and my total score was around the 25th percentile 🫥..
700
and english was 780
so i didn’t submit
which i so regret now 😭
yeah like my total is within the middle 50 but my english and math scores are so polarized 😭
i ran out of time 😭
I ran out of time on reading section all the time 😭
i’m acc gonna scream if i don’t get into yale bc the sat was 5 mins too short
did u guys do digital sat ?
it’s ok they’ll divert more attention to the rest of your app! people get in test optional every year
I hope they look at both my act and sat sections individually 💀
oh fine yes the normal reading is a bitch but digital say reading section is soooo much easier
Esp cos so many kids figure out how to get extra time w accomodations.
they made intl students the guinea pigs for digital sat
Ohh dang I wish I tried it once lol
i dont thjnk it was available unless u were international
Ohh ok
ABC: Ar eyou international or domestic?
Yea they are
a kid in my school faked a doctors note saying he had some neurological condition 💀
and he cheats on everything
lots of kids fake that
hes applying yale rea
applying in STEM or non-STEM?
thing is i acc have adhd but i didn’t know how to apply for extra time so i just left it and now i regret it 😭
i feel like im taking crazy pills with the sat
everyone keeps telling me the english section is the harder one and i dont get it at all
i tjink i put history and politics as interested majors
wbu ?
diagnosed?
yeh
i wasnt able to get a diagnosis myself so i had to go without
i thoight test optional acc meant test optional so i went all summer thinking i didn’t have to do it and then i realised people still submit so i had to prep for the sat in under a week 😭
and it was the last one available before the yale deadline so i couldn’t even redo it
damn
does it actually matter for yale?
i thought they didnt pay attention to the actual majors as long as you showed enthusiasm and drive
I think they are looking for STEM kids - it won’t play a major role i assume
i wouldve thought the opposite from internationals
took hl maths aa in ib and now i am forever put off stem
For non-STEM it should matetr less
*matter
DW
Anyway, it is done. Decisions have been loaded up already.
think they're still making decisions?
Admissions Website looks diffeernt
do you think yale will look at both my ACT and SAT sections individually? I have high scores in sat math and high scores in act english and reading
They look at everything. Why not?
how did that happen
because act reading, english, and science were p easy for me but act math was bad
and I did a lot better on sat math
💀
too late to worry they may have made decisions
at least this decision will lmk if i should reuse essays or not
wait wouldnt it tell you not to reuse essays anyway
if you dont get in theyre bad essays and if you get in youre done right
deferral is an option
fr, not limited to Yale, and in a sense I shouldn't put it this way but do you think a diagnosed mental health history will negatively affect the chance or is it on the contrary?
and you probably had decent essays if you get deferred
oh i was planning on scrapping them in that case
Deferral means u r somewhat admitable but unclear compared to yd the obviously more competitive ones
Given that the rest of the profile is decent
id wager theyre trying to minimise liabilities, so i think unless its rather benign or clearly caused by an external factor that has since passed they wouldnt like it
huh?
Nevermind we settled it
it was like 56 percent the year before, who knows it cld be like 70 percent
so ! scared !
i am too im just waiting for thursday like im so stressed
probably wouldve but im sure youll be ok
I thought only 4 percent of deferred candidates were admitted in RD. Is this correct? Or was it 4 percent of the total pool of admits came from those deferred in REA?
is that data released?
I definitely saw it somewhere. It is a small number
this sucks
if i get rejected w no interview
cuz i doubt im an auto reject
hopefully it was js cuz of availability
but we’ll see
auto reject is those whose files teh committee didnt even look at
you could have a solid file that got into committee and was then rejected, just liks those w interviews
All files are reviewed by committtee
^per their podcast
Not any more
oh right initial review
They do a pre-read and reject a bunch
I think they still talk about them in comm? Just very briefly
Maybe
Either way they’re still rejected so nbd lol 😅
yeah
Hey y’all do they release everyone’s decisions at the same time? Or do i have to wait for email notif
Quarter*
are y’all gonna check decisions immediately after they are posted
Yes
Are y’all gonna open with family
just reading that gave me butterflies in my stomach
just get it over with so you get the motivation to do rds
Bro test optional IS test options
^^
No💀
Depends on which time zone ur in
Rllyyy 😭
Alone?
my family shall be asleep by then
i would go to sleep too as always but i dont think i could fall asleep so why bother
not waiting a second
4pm in my timezone! thankful its earlier
Sameee
but that half hour will mess me up for days
Yes
And I’m gonna sleep after the deferral and just tell everyone the next morning😭
same! I’m gonna be in my german class 💀
Sameeee
😭 I’m freaked out cause p much everyone at my school knows I rea’d Yale 💀
mine comes out during nap time so i might open it like 3 hours late
Nap timeee
dude everyone on my country knows
Nothing to worry!!!
‘Hey, did you get into Yale’
‘Yes I did’
i dont think i could deal with having to tell 80 different people the bad news for the next few weeks
Bro real
i’m going out for sushi like 2 hours after
ENERGYYYY
since we're all obviously getting in, how are we celebrating
sushi
lowkey though i feel at this point im like dissociated so ill probably just open it then go back to bed
I’m going to a party like less than an hour after 🎉
what are those
im going to be at my job 💀
honestly i really wanna play it cool
i might buy myself a monster energy to celebrate idk
like if i get accepted i wanna read it, have no visible reaction and then immediately fall asleep
i fluctuate wildly
And I can then actually enjoy Christmas break
yale comes out 2 hours before most other schools so i’ll have like 2 hours of chill before i have to deal with fallout from my friends
Lmao fr
fax
i know im gonna be too shocked to really react properly or grasp it entirely in the moment if i get in, but then i have weeks to let it wash over me
i know so many people who applied to stanford from my school
ik stanford ea will be bad
lot of my friends ED to cornell
Im getting hotpot after decisions r released 🙏
Bruh
listen its extremely important to me that i quote backstreet boys as little as possible, but im gonna need you to quit playing games with my heart
theyre just built different fr
Anyone click on the 'Withdraw" button today?
bro u can get in big trouble for doing that
yeah im still getting the form
built diff
given that were going about this in a very scientific and measured manner, i vote we call it portal astronomy and establish it as a real science
ill start the journal
I'm joining in
no i meant they do not give a hoot whether u submit or not but it’s more complex than that
absolutely not
im opening it w/my sibling via a zoom meeting lol
Honestly I don't see why I would open it with my family. At best they're happy a bit earlier and at worst they have to see me in that state
I live in a boarding school so imma open it on my own
I m opening it on my own
I wonder if any of us will get in
I mean there's over a hundred of us here
Statistically at least 6 will get in
Assuming we're all reaing
I know a2c folks are usually above average in stats but I feel like it doesn't matter as much for rea right
Hard to say..
but realisticlly most rea applicants are doing so cuz theyre above average too, no?
besides its prolly less than a percent difference
!yaleea
yeah thats what i mean
the REA pool is above average, just like the A2C pool, so it cancels out
!yaleea
well it seems to have a lot of overlap with the chanceme folks and they are really something else (assuming the profiles are real, which i doubt)
in any case, just being this in tune with the admissions process and following it this closely already puts the average person here above the average person applying
i seriously doubt there are many auto rejects here for example, and i know several irl that have applied REA to Harvard
too soon
where do you see the chanceme folks?
yeah i know my chanceme was full of lies
honestly though im rather glad i didnt find out they were heavily exaggerating until very late
i think it kinda pushed me
Haha. Just looked. I c what you mean!
!yaleea
gl everyone!!!
24 hour mark is approaching ☹️
!yaleea
am I the only one who is only now realizing that the yale admissions office podcast is a thing🥲
I FEEL SO STUPID THEY LITERALLY HAVE SO MUCH GOOD STUFF ON HERE THAT I LIKE
COULDVE USED
especially there episode on the committees
that was genuinely so interesting
They had like 200 episodes tho
I really wish I could like be in the room as they talked about my application
yeah it is kinda a lot
and the rules kept changing over the life of teh podcast
how they pre-read etc
Anyway, you domestic? Intl?
how are the people in this thread so nice lol
the other threads are meaner
yale people are nicer
can't be measured so subjective obvi
w yale
it was always there
the reference id
reference id was always there for everything i think
Bulldog bulldog bow wow wow
yeah thats what im refering to it was on top but also in the info tab
I thought it wasl always there twice
Les portales astrologia
no?
Des portales astronomía*
oh im domestic lol
Pretty sure it was there before.
I didn’t see it
👍
però posso parlare un po italiano
No we made a journal and everything
Yes, unfortunately due to the three body problem predicting the state of admissions decisions even days in advance is a fools errand
Omg people on cc said that under that there’s a student id
I didn’t get it but did you guys? Hope it doesn’t mean anything
however if all of you email me your locations and mass I could give a rough estimate
stop astrologying or listening to CC
I know but I heard that student ids are for matriculated students
They wouldn't be that obvious
Honestly it would be best if we all just collectively fainted until decisions are released
Nothing we can do here does anything but increase anxiety
yes just slept until decisions released or smth 😭
Just checked CC. The guy posting about this started his/her account 8 mins ago..I think they are just pranking the group!
Cruel!!
damn
This was like the ea likely letter thing 🤣
I'll make an alt and say that yale told me I was the only admitted student this time round
sucks that people do that :(
yeah
Ap phsyics c mechanics exam scarred me
Hope I am not misreading..but that is what it looks like to me. New member
are you the 🐝 on cc
There was more than 1 person who said
no
i got a 5 doe so its alright but lol i dislike astronomy now
Just reading..
nope
sorry i didn't mean to reply to you
i just meant in general
if anyone here was
Oh ok
The other guy joined 20 mins ago
Now they’re asking for screenshots lol

Yeah this is a prank
I just look around on cc
