#

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

copper elk
#

well theres like 20 people a year that apply to the us from my country

#

ohhhh fine

copper elk
#

well whether this is a sign or not (i think its at least edging towards portal astrology), it does help lower my expectations

To be completely honest the only reason why I didn’t ed vandy rice or nu was bc of prestige 😭

i think the best ed schools (t20 wise) are cornell penn duke

penn in particular bc they dont consider legacy

Yeah Penn is great

# final rapids 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

eternal osprey
#

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

bleak prism
#

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 🤣

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

"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...

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).

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

I’ve seen a lot

Just wondering how many intls in the early pool

probs bc we’re more clueless ab all this

#

so we ask more questions

#

😭

slim grove
#

makes sense

manic rapids
#

did u guys submit sat scores ?

strong steeple
#

Intl numbers have grown quiet a lot over the years. Almost 15 percent last year.

#

*quite

#

15 percent overall (REA + ED)

slim grove
#

How would more intls applying affect domestics?

strong steeple
manic rapids
#

i dont tjink it would change much

strong steeple
manic rapids
#

bc they have a pretty consistent percentage of intl in the cohort

#

so it just makes it more competitive for intls

strong steeple
#

They may hit 15 percent this year and keep it at that

manic rapids
#

do they do it country to country basis

#

like do they have a quota/cap for brits or aussies etc

strong steeple
#

Probably - yeah. Just like they do state by state in the US

do u think i’m at a serious disadvantage bc i didn’t

If you had a high score, you should have put it in, of course.

but I also submitted my act to make up for it

I didn’t submit act though

I dont think we should necessarily regret it

copper elk

i only checked that my total was average

tidal ridge
#

Let’s just say I got a 790 math and my total score was around the 25th percentile 🫥..

manic rapids
#

and english was 780

#

so i didn’t submit

#

which i so regret now 😭

sacred mantle
#

yeah like my total is within the middle 50 but my english and math scores are so polarized 😭

manic rapids
#

i ran out of time 😭

tidal ridge
#

I ran out of time on reading section all the time 😭

manic rapids
#

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 ?

tidal ridge
#

No

#

They didn’t even have that option for me lol

sacred mantle
#

it’s ok they’ll divert more attention to the rest of your app! people get in test optional every year

slim grove
#

I hope they look at both my act and sat sections individually 💀

manic rapids
#

oh fine yes the normal reading is a bitch but digital say reading section is soooo much easier

they made intl students the guinea pigs for digital sat

i wasnt able to get a diagnosis myself so i had to go without

manic rapids
#

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

slim grove
#

damn

copper elk
#

i thought they didnt pay attention to the actual majors as long as you showed enthusiasm and drive

slim grove

I think they are looking for STEM kids - it won’t play a major role i assume

i wouldve thought the opposite from internationals

too late to worry they may have made decisions

#

at least this decision will lmk if i should reuse essays or not

copper elk

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

upper orchid
#

deferral is an option

uneven widget
#

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?

upper orchid
#

and you probably had decent essays if you get deferred

copper elk
uneven widget
#

Deferral means u r somewhat admitable but unclear compared to yd the obviously more competitive ones

dry latch
#

66% get rejected

#

and it's cracked applicants

copper elk
#

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

# dry latch 66% get rejected

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?

cloud forum
#

is that data released?

strong steeple
#

I definitely saw it somewhere. It is a small number

cloud forum
#

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

strong steeple
#

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

worthy bolt

^per their podcast

strong steeple
#

Not any more

oh right initial review

strong steeple

They do a pre-read and reject a bunch

I think they still talk about them in comm? Just very briefly

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
