Yale University (2023-2024)

[rose vale]

IDK we just have to wait!

Not sure

tbh

it was sent out today at 8 AM.

Wait how

I don't think I have perms to send a photo

Bro dw

my friend got anlikely last year

And no interview

!!!

So MAYBE likely who knows

whenever possible I think

This week

To next week

[spice willow]

thinking about likelies are a waste of ur time !!!

[rose vale]

i mean no time is wasted

[noble steppe]

most of yall r not getting likelies simply do not think about them

[worthy bolt]

Right 😭😭

[noble steppe]

go enjoy high school nerds

[spice willow]

FA has no tie with admissions

[worthy bolt]

Y’all 200/50k is crazy

[noble steppe]

go to parties play league idk what yall do

[spice willow]

that just means you submitted all your FA documents, which is a good thing ;lol

[radiant harbor]

Same

[atomic crystal]

i love the dichotomy between parties and league lmao

[spice willow]

still no tie with admissions

[noble steppe]

yale is not secretly sending signals about your admissions status in emails.

[noble steppe]

i realised out after saying 'go to parties' that this is the wrong audience

[atomic crystal]

💀 truuuuu

[rose vale]

JUST WAIT

[radiant harbor]

Well I got deffered so Im def not getting a likely lmao

[noble steppe]

maybe, who knows, but i can tell you they don't email for likelies

it's a call

[rose vale]

And a email

[topaz creek]

[noble steppe]

a while after they call you

[rose vale]

ya

[noble steppe]

like if it was a likely i am not too sure they'd say email

[topaz creek]

what if they call and im like unable to pick up since middle of test or sth

[noble steppe]

they will find you

[topaz creek]

is this a threat

[noble steppe]

have you seen Taken?

[topaz creek]

pls

[rose vale]

I think

In past they call when ur out of school

[atomic crystal]

yea i'd like to think they take into account timezones lol

[worthy bolt]

I’m so delusional what if i get a likely and they say my deferral was the worst mistake they’ve made

[rose vale]

Bro that means a AO has to work overtime

for west coast

[noble steppe]

you think they don't normally lol

[rose vale]

ya I don’t think AO’s work overtime

[atomic crystal]

wait so you can't even see missed calls?

[rose vale]

They reply to emails only till 5

[zealous jolt]

omg its so yale over

they dont want me

[unborn fractal]

interview assignment deadline is 2/14

[zealous jolt]

its still yale over

thats 9 days from now

and most likely letters are stem so that aint happenin

[unborn fractal]

only half!

[zealous jolt]

yeah but like per capita dont more stem people get them than humanities

i dont remember but i feel like there are less STEM than humanities

[unborn fractal]

well yes

like none of us r getting a likely

no pt in thinking

[zealous jolt]

its all yale over anyways

no likely, no interview, no admit

rip

lowkey didnt realize my app was so mid i couldnt even pull an interview

crazy

[noble steppe]

i know people here who did not get an interview

i know people who got multiple

ymmv

[whole pier]

i submitted my yale app 3 hours late 😺

[worthy bolt]

I submitted all of my apps late lol i couldn’t care less 😭

[noble steppe]

ehh i doubt it matters

just pretend u are here!

[whole pier]

so real

i will keep on pretending

[kindred topaz]

so beautiful 🥹

[noble steppe]

btw if you get this tattoo you are guaranteed a likely letter

[weak root]

Why is that kinda hard

[rose vale]

No

It’s 50/50

[bleak prism]

I think they mean an email saying your checklist is complete

10 percent of admitted students can you imagine

[radiant harbor]

on my mid year update should i say i made districts chorus and were two spots away from making regionals or just say i made districts chorus
it goes districts regionals and then states

[bleak prism]

I would just say you made districts

[grim blaze]

not true

[bleak prism]

yale fin aid is mean

dang

i asked about my non costodial waiver and why even tho it took several months to approve my documents

why there was a red x on my checklist for non costodial waiver

and the lady said well first, you're deferred and not accepted

and second what if they place you on the waiting list

she said you shouldn't expect such a rushed decision and you need to be patient

I JUST ASKED WHEN MY WAIVER WOULD BE APPROVED

AND ONE PERSON HERE ACTUALLY GOT THEIR WAIVER APPROVED AND THEY DID RD SO

😭

sheesh

[unborn fractal]

oh do you have a source

[bronze steeple]

😭 they probably get so many calls like that and thinks everyone wants to know if fin aid SID = admitted

[bleak prism]

uh i didnt ask about an SID

i asked about why my non costodial waiver wasnt processed

[digital surge]

when are likely letters sent

[bronze steeple]

ohh did u say u got an email?

[bleak prism]

no?

i said that my portal keeps showing an x and process required for the non custodial waiver

[grim blaze]

Last year got requests in March

[bronze steeple]

oh lol their response was so out of pocket 🤣

[bleak prism]

very..

[neon sedge]

WDYM?

[tired flint]

Has anyone gotten likely letters

[rose vale]

Ya DEZ got one

[unborn fractal]

No he didnt

[rose vale]

ya dez nuts

[raw ravine]

YALL I GOT AN INTERVIEW

[hexed folio]

W

[visual glen]

W

Me next plz

[bleak prism]

GL!!

[worthy bolt]

Yeowch…

[raw ravine]

THXX

[bleak prism]

You got this don’t be nervous I hope it goes well

[unborn fractal]

I heard all of y’all are getting likelies tmr

The Lord sent me a vision

[fallow lance]

LOL

im p sure likelies come out in March for 99% of schools

[rose vale]

For yale it’s early feb

[fallow lance]

ohh rllt

thats soosososo early!

[pale rain]

ik this has probably been asked a bunch, but how much do yale interviews matter? is there data correlation between getting in and having an interview? my friend got one and she’s rly excited

[weak root]

they matter more than other ivies

i think there's a light prescreen

[bleak prism]

Yeah

[weak root]

means you haven't been rejected yet lmao

[bleak prism]

But don’t worry if you didn’t get one

[regal plaza]

Did anyone get a likely letter here?

[unborn fractal]

they came out this week on a wednesday last year

[north current]

no yale interview lol its joever

[unborn fractal]

same

[north current]

got one from every ivy besides yale and penn (and columbia cuz i didnt apply)

[unborn fractal]

columbia doesnt do interviews

[hexed folio]

same

[zealous jolt]

omg got an unlikely letter

[fallen moon]

no interview moment

[remote vortex]

Basically what no interview means

[shadow kayak]

I was talking to someone who got in rea without one

[north current]

harvard is more availability based but yale is supposedly a prescreen thing

[neon sedge]

@cobalt rampart @gloomy sorrel any interviews yet?

[cobalt rampart]

nope :/

[neon sedge]

me neither…

[pale rain]

i guess in that case if they know theyre gonna admit the kid why interview them??? maybe idk

[unborn fractal]

Not you @ing the coke finalists

[neon sedge]

not Coke just people in FL/Miami area (worried about interviews)

[unborn fractal]

Ohhh

Ok

[sonic zinc]

In Miami area and didn’t get an interview

They all went to sas/ransom/American heritage/pinecrest probably 😭

[rugged chasm]

heritage fs

[cobalt rampart]

fr

nkt even goleman got thats crazy

[noble steppe]

hey at least they haven't (accidentally) nearly forced you into a leave of absence

[neon sedge]

No! they haven’t interviewed Ransom or Pinecrest. Idk about American Heritage. Palmetto got Harvard interviews

[bleak prism]

do they do this too 🤡

[neon sedge]

We, the Miami crowd should do a side chat to keep updates… @cobalt rampart @sonic zinc @gloomy sorrel and all the others from our area

[pale rain]

i got an interview!!

[rose vale]

OMG CONGRATS!

[fluid ember]

WOOHOO!!!

[valid compass]

yaayyy!!

[blissful lynx]

Is Yale pre-selective on their interviews like harvard

[fluid ember]

Receiving a Yale interview is only indicative of not being rejected at that point... they say they reserve for interviews for applicants from whom they "need more information."

Don't think too much about it! :)

[blissful lynx]

Damn so if you don't get one

close to just being rejected?

[fluid ember]

no not at all!!

people get in without interviews

[blissful lynx]

Oh fr?

So it's not entirely like harvard

[fluid ember]

i mean harvard is known for not letting many people in without interviews, but they interview well into march and people have gotten in w/out interviews

yale doesn't tell us how many people get in without interviews, but from r/collegeresults and A2C, it surely isn't 0

then again an admission to yale is difficult regardless of your interview

[blissful lynx]

Huh, that's good to hear

[blissful lynx]

Yeah I figured lol

[neon sedge]

Congratulations!!!

[bleak prism]

i love how everyone is congratulating each other when they get an interview 😂

[sonic zinc]

I think heritage pissed off some schools because of a lot of students supposedly breaking Ed agreements last year

So one of their really cracked kids got rejected straight up rea and overall ea/Ed was rough for them

[whole pier]

Didnt get an interview either

[whole pier]

i hate them the little scammers

like 5 of them get coke every year 🙄

[cobalt rampart]

doral academy too

These rich kids .....

[cobalt rampart]

YES we should

[whole pier]

yess agree

[neon sedge]

I don’t know how to create one so I am in if someone does

[neon sedge]

wow I didn’t know…

[cobalt rampart]

we can make a gc

cuz i also dont know sidecbat💀

[neon sedge]

I sent a link by direct message… Lol I’m just experimenting

[sonic zinc]

Send me the gc link

[pale rain]

what type of things are asked at yale interviews?? like normal interview questions or something special/specific

[rose vale]

Normally interview

But it was weird they didn’t ask much about why yale

[bleak prism]

normal interview

[bleak prism]

i wasnt asked either

[spice willow]

You could always create a thread in general

If that’s easier

[neon sedge]

Thank You

[slow copper]

did anyone get likelies yet

[kindred topaz]

I saw an a2c reddit post and they got a call from yale

[unborn fractal]

Today?

[kindred topaz]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1aldb2n/yale_admissions_officer_reached_out_for_a_call/

[unborn fractal]

Interesting

Not sure how true it is, but nice!

[kindred topaz]

😂

[unborn fractal]

Mainly because I just scoured through her post history and she got a 29 on the ACT… hard time believing that but I could be wrong

[kindred topaz]

Oh wait rlly?

Yeah ok I see ur point then

Coz I also heard yale is more strict abt test opt policies

And explicitly mentioned in their podcast that they would prefer scores or smth

[unborn fractal]

Yes exactly

Well who knows

[kindred topaz]

Yeahhh

[worthy bolt]

She later got a 32 and was prepping to take it again

Idk i believe it tbh

[prime briar]

had a qb post too, so maybe LI at least

[bleak prism]

Congrats to her

[rose vale]

YEP

[gloomy sorrel]

Nope

Does anyone know how much interviews rly matter tho

Bc I’m hearing mixed opinions

[digital surge]

anyone know when likely letters are sent

[unborn fractal]

Rolling over the next few weeks

[teal tusk]

2 of my friends got asked to chat with yale ao of our region

[rose vale]

OOOOO

which region

[teal tusk]

VA

[rose vale]

OMG

i am from Va too

Nova?

Or

[digital surge]

is that what a likely call is

[teal tusk]

yes

[sage pasture]

did they have interviews beforehand?

[atomic crystal]

Oooo when did this happen :00

[spice willow]

shouldnt be

in a likely call it's explicit

[digital surge]

Can people that got deferred get likely calls?

[teal tusk]

both had interviews

both got it around 4 pm

[rose vale]

What were their majors?

[atomic crystal]

congrats to them! (If it's a likely lol)

[sage pasture]

Any international students with Yale interview?

[radiant harbor]

i think its a likely

[digital surge]

?

[spice willow]

why would u

get a likely call if you were deferred

[radiant harbor]

i don’t think

so

[bleak prism]

i agree

[radiant harbor]

i think they’re likelies

[spice willow]

there's no spec about likely calls imo, if you get a call and its a likely you'll know

[bleak prism]

idt so bc you didnt get in early??

lol

[bleak prism]

yeah haha

[radiant harbor]

if we were able to get likelies we wouldn’t have gotten deferred in the first place

[spice willow]

icuz theyre like good news !

[bleak prism]

fr 😭

[spice willow]

likely discussion destroying the yale chat

[bleak prism]

time to ban people

/j

[atomic crystal]

Oop

[spice willow]

likelies arent a banned topic to discuss dw

imo a waste of time but whatevs

[radiant harbor]

on my mid year update is it crazy to include that i made it past the first stage of becoming the 22nd commissioner of a commission made by the governer?

it’s a decent chance i get selected

but i wouldn’t know 100% untill like late feb march

[bleak prism]

what are you saying i dont understand this

oooh

ok

nvm

[radiant harbor]

yeah

it’s pretty big just not concrete yet

[bleak prism]

if you have nothing else to add sure!

gl, governors comissions are great ec's. even tho im on one and we dont really do much besides meet with officials its still really cool

[radiant harbor]

but the executive director gave me a ✅ and said most likely i’ll be selected but it needs to go to the governer first

[bleak prism]

so i called yale fin aid bc of a separate issue and the lady was super mean and said no action has been taking on my file

[radiant harbor]

it’d be probably one of the bigger sounding things on my app but not one of the most impactful 😭

[bleak prism]

what does this mean?

[bleak prism]

i acc agree

same for me

[cobalt rampart]

why tf r they so mean

[bleak prism]

this is what they said: i asked about my non costodial waiver and why even tho it took several months to approve my documents
why there was a red x on my checklist for non costodial waiver
and the lady said well first, you're deferred and not accepted
and second what if they place you on the waiting list
she said you shouldn't expect such a rushed decision and you need to be patient
I JUST ASKED WHEN MY WAIVER WOULD BE APPROVED

she also called me impatient for asking a question

[cobalt rampart]

nah this is crazy???

[bleak prism]

i get they deferred me but man 😔

[rose vale]

When I called they were nice

[bleak prism]

they have always been nice

[rose vale]

she told me she will call me back

[bleak prism]

a normal associate couldnt answer my question so i think she got her supervisor to

[worthy bolt]

this is just my unqualified take on this, but you haven’t done anything yet in that commission so I don’t think it’s worth putting on

[slow copper]

4pm est?

ok so all of us thinking we might get a likely can stop being delusional now lol

[fallen blade]

So real

the emails seem to be at 4 based on regional ao timezone

[slow copper]

are they calls or emails

also they wouldnt try to call during school hours right

[fallen blade]

It's an email asking when u can schedule a call later this week

Nah they ask for ur availability

[slow copper]

if anyone has a screenshot of what an email like that looks like drop it plz

what other colleges do likely letters around this time?

[fallen blade]

There's a guy here who got duke

[fallen blade]

Honestly u'll prob realize what it is if u get it lol

Also no one really knows what the emails are for

[slow copper]

no, i definitely wont get one and am just curious what they look like

[slow copper]

i’m pretty sure we all know its a likely

theyve all come around now historically

[spice willow]

just pretend likelies dont exist

[fallen blade]

Yea who knows

The emails might still be rolling so idk

[shadow kayak]

if anyone from nj gets one pls @ me

[unborn fractal]

Tx has not got one yet

[bleak prism]

can u like make it prohibited to talk ab it

[vague oxide]

why? just curious

nobody gets them like most admitted students don't get them or most applicants don't get them

ok thanks

[teal tusk]

I think yale is just sending out ao interviews not likely letters

[rose vale]

No in waves

[brisk oar]

yes; a few mods have deliberated this is too close to "speculation" and shouldnt be discussed here

[rose vale]

Wait I never knew yale does AO interviews

[brisk oar]

i think if yale hasnt sent out any official likely letters, we shouldnt be paranoid, and it does seem to be clogging the thread

[pine latch]

There’s almost zero chance you’re getting a likely anyways tbh

[brisk oar]

thanks friends!

[pine latch]

No use worrying

[brisk oar]

agreed @pine latch

[visual crypt]

that’s real

[teal tusk]

but they already had interviews

[pine latch]

Interviews can go really late

And I’ve heard of doubles before

[teal tusk]

i will confirm tmrw since they are calling tmrw

[pine latch]

Yeah you’re free to let us know the end result once it actually happens

[teal tusk]

yea ik of two girls who just had their interviews and got yale ao interviews right after

but thats not a likely

[brisk oar]

just be careful not to spread misinformation/speculate too far!! it causes unnecessary worry in the thread and we know a2c has enough of that already <3

i was rereading and it IS crazy

[worn folio]

Link me to the craziest quotes

[fallen blade]

Wdym quotes

[astral rock]

don’t ask questions it makes you look secure and confident

[atomic crystal]

I mean it prob depends

I just asked my interviewer more about yale's stem program and support and she seemed happy to answer

[worn folio]

I mean like what were people saying here that were making them delulu

[fallen blade]

I think the mods want us to move past that before confirmation lol

[teal tusk]

update: i thought these requested calls were ao interviews but we don't know yet. my friend scheduled hers tomorrow so we can come to a conclusion then but i wouldn't jump the gun that they're likely letters rn

[neon dune]

thank you sir

[rose vale]

Oh favorite book

Was asked for me

[worthy bolt]

y’all.. just listen to the podcast. they’re likelies bc that’s what theyve said on their likelies episode

[rose vale]

prob but we can wait till tomorrow

[teal tusk]

we don't know if it's exactly that though

some years they apparently just called them up on random

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/786573863361839115/1204946860675170394/image.png?ex=65d69536&is=65c42036&hm=d9fb6609839a18e10049fc187f15a79f19ddd74eaab66038e7728f61d220ea64&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

plus theres also people like this

[atomic crystal]

damn, random calls is crazy

[teal tusk]

its best to just wait till tomorrow

either way if you guys didnt get one it doesnt matter lmao

[crisp oyster]

I’d take the opportunity and ask if you have time

[bleak prism]

just chill

no one knows

[crisp oyster]

i asked about programs and their experience with it if they had any

[fallen blade]

Just don't worry about it, no one really knows how they work

[prime sedge]

pretty sure it's regional AOs

who do it

so people from some regions might be getting them

dunno

either way allegedly only like 3-4% of admitted students get likelies

[cobalt rampart]

i highly doubt they can scehdule 200-300 calls for tmrw

the week is ending

[teal tusk]

we don't know if its a likely

[cobalt rampart]

so theyre still gonna be rolling out

bur yall chill

[teal tusk]

plus rarely any of the accepted applicants get likely

[unique plank]

yes guys

and i’m sure these aren’t the only ones rolling rn

don’t get too down

[prime sedge]

yeah this is also a valid point on them not all coming out at once

[fluid ember]

guys don't worry about likelies!! it'll work out regardless

[rose vale]

Ya!

[fluid ember]

and like they said, less than 10% of admitted students get likelies, so you still (DEFINITElY) have a shot!!

enjoy frebruary and march!!

[rose vale]

Not sure but they do waves

[chilly thunder]

let's not speculate about htis

speculation benefits no one

[fluid ember]

just try to enjoy your weeks and don't think about/expect likelies!!

[chilly thunder]

ong

[fluid ember]

enjoy senior year!!

you only get one of them

[chilly thunder]

you only have like 80 springs max left to experience

[fluid ember]

oh!

[chilly thunder]

nah think about it

[fallen moon]

that turned dark

[dusky tusk]

Thats hella

Also not all of us will live till 98

So more like 40-80

[fallen moon]

that turned even darker

[spice willow]

im getting a 120 more springs, i dunno about you tho, stay safe

[dusky tusk]

I admire your confidence!

[rugged chasm]

also @neon sedge congrats on coke scholar

but they r genuinely more cracked then anyone in the server

one is an sts finalist

[worthy bolt]

HELPP

[teal tusk]

why is everything being deleted

[chilly thunder]

cuz i dont want pepole to worry

[worthy bolt]

The snap of a2c

[chilly thunder]

lol

dawg we probably shouldnt discuss until theyre officially out yet

and by probably shouldnt

i mean like

mod orders

💀

[brisk oar]

nobody is even sure who got a likely letter or not, because interviews are still going on, and emails are worded differently!! so let's avoid discussion of likelies from now on #1135710137986846730

[chilly thunder]

rn its just a request to call right

oh i see

[worthy bolt]

Zamn congrats!

[chilly thunder]

oh i see

congrats dude!

probably for the best

again congratulations

i dont wanna worry people about the calls rn

[atomic crystal]

yippeeee for u!

[brisk oar]

congratulations bart!! it's amazing. just that not everyone's emails were as specific as yours

thank you for sharing so we're more aware!!

[potent peak]

how about the people who turned off the phone call authorization option on common app

lol

[brisk oar]

and again congrats! 🐶

[atomic crystal]

they email first to schedule the call so you can let em know lol

[chilly thunder]

huge congrats dude

[potent peak]

ok that makes sense

congrats bart!!!

[worthy bolt]

@pulsar pine were u deferred?

[neon sedge]

Thank You!

[spice willow]

Gucci

[rose vale]

CONRGATS!

What is ur intended major at yale?

[unborn fractal]

Bart didn't you apply last year...

[chilly thunder]

how do you know

[weak root]

LFGGG CONGRATS 🔥

[chilly thunder]

ye probably for the best

[weak root]

It lowk doesnt make sense for deferred ppl to get likelies cuz like

[unborn fractal]

message hsit

[weak root]

Why wouldnt you have gotten in originally lmao

[worthy bolt]

yale sends out likelies to RD applicants bc most REA ppl have Yale as their top choice and wouldn’t need a likely to be convinced to attend

i think it’s best if we delete these messages 😭

[north current]

sometimes they defer because they like you but need to guage the overall applicant pool to create a balanced class

[brisk oar]

yup, billert is currently cleaning the thread out :))

[rose vale]

Wait

Bart applied last year no

[weak root]

But a likely candidate from my knowledge is someone who they think would b a candidate at other top schools as well

[rose vale]

?

[north current]

yeah exactly

[potent peak]

maybe bart's on a gap year

[weak root]

So i dont think they would need to second guess whether the person would fit into their class

[north current]

youre good enough for top schools but institutional priorities make you hesitant to accept them right away

[weak root]

I still doubt they'd send a likely

Plus like

If you rea they know ur prob their first choice

No need to send a likely

[neon sedge]

Congratulations!!! 🎊🎊

[prime briar]

i think cracked STEM kids often get poached by MIT and the like so yale sends some likelies to them

[weak root]

Agree

[potent peak]

lmaoo

[weak root]

If they think you'd get into stanford/harvard/mit they wanna recruit you as early as possible

[potent peak]

true though

[atomic crystal]

bro opened the floodgates 😭 godspeed bud

[prime briar]

they also say on their website taht its sometimes for athletes and music/arts spikes

[fluid ember]

this is crazy. elite admissions makes people crazy.

[unborn fractal]

it's 100% for athletes, like they send them to athletes

uhh

ok

[rugged loom]

Were they cracked?

They must be tho 😭

[noble steppe]

dub for them tho !!

massive dub

[weak root]

Im honestly j curious what region lol

[prime sedge]

idk i've seen some posts from people online who got likelies and didn't have any "spikes"

[noble steppe]

i dont have any spikes

[spice willow]

No more likely talk guys

[noble steppe]

i also didnt get a likely

[spice willow]

You don’t get it !

[prime sedge]

i think it's just people who are exceptional applicants

[dusky tusk]

Guys i didnt get a likely

Im cooked

[rugged loom]

Lmao hardly anyone does

[prime sedge]

bro already got poached

[rose vale]

GUYS we know if likelys are are sent out when Yale posts a post about it so we should stop

[noble steppe]

i went to haven hot chicken for dinner today

[rose vale]

[north current]

MOST PEOPLE DONT GET LIKELIES MOVE ON

[noble steppe]

shit was so fire

[rugged loom]

Fr?

[rose vale]

Ya

[unborn fractal]

they post?

[prime sedge]

also they're not all out yet

[rose vale]

Last year was the feb 17th

[noble steppe]

i should feel bad for spending $19 on 3 tendies but ike

[rose vale]

They posted

[potent peak]

I think we should all touch grass

[rugged loom]

😭😭😭

[hollow agate]

my friend told me yale likelies might have come out so my first instinct was "omg everyone on a2c is gonna be pissed they didnt get a likely"

[prime briar]

2 ppl from my school got them today so lowk dont like my chances lol

[prime sedge]

it's over the course of a couple days i'm pretty sure

[spice willow]

?

[rose vale]

^

[dusky tusk]

Wait actually

[weak root]

What region r u from

[rugged loom]

It’s seems ur lying now 🤔

[north current]

either way please move on from this topic

[spice willow]

Ok

[weak root]

2 from same school is crazy lmao

[spice willow]

No more likely talk

[prime briar]

aight

[prime sedge]

a2cs survive purely on speculation and adrenaline

[prime sedge]

(me too)

[sage pasture]

any internationals with Yale interview?

[chilly thunder]

GOOD LUCK

[chilly thunder]

im actually so washed at physics

[prime sedge]

heathcliff was not selfish

[chilly thunder]

i might not qualify this year 💀

even though i got a usapho medal last year

[prime sedge]

• my essay

[noble steppe]

i have like 250 pages of reading to do for a 9am seminar

i am not doing them

[rose vale]

wait guys

[prime sedge]

the one thing i have been super curious about with yale is senior interviews vs alumni interviews

[rugged loom]

Are u gonna say something about the L word?

Lol

[rose vale]

no

[worthy bolt]

Dawg

[prime sedge]

i've seen so much speculation abt this online but idek

[rugged loom]

Honestly I don’t think there’s any difference. It seems to be just about availability

[chilly thunder]

its availability i think

i did some reddit analysis

[prime sedge]

yeah the weird thing is

on their website they say

"Also, a small group of Yale seniors serve as Senior Interviewers and conduct virtual interviews with selected applicants, regardless of location. "

[rugged loom]

Are u making this up too?

[subtle python]

anecdotally, two of my friends had senior interviewers. they were much more intense or rather, like really ec focused and grillin what u did and why u think you would be a great fit

so

i def think it is a bit higher stakes just intuitively

[prime sedge]

this was my exact experience

i had a senior interview and it was nothing like alumni interviews

[subtle python]

oh when did u have this interview

[prime sedge]

she had a list of questions and was literally grilling me

[subtle python]

did u do good

[prime sedge]

i would like

[atomic crystal]

really? my senior interviewer was very chill

[prime sedge]

take a breath to keep going

and she would shove a question

in between

while i was taking a breath

[rugged loom]

Wdym by this then 🥲

[subtle python]

my friend who did poor was WL and my friend who did solid got in

[subtle python]

u had one in REA?

interesting

[prime sedge]

not sure

[atomic crystal]

Nah this is RD lol

[prime sedge]

i mean

[subtle python]

o it said pre frosh

that's why i thought

[prime sedge]

she said my why yale answer was "a good answer"

[subtle python]

u committed

[subtle python]

gotchu i think ur probs fine

[prime sedge]

but another than that i couldn't tell anything

[subtle python]

when did u hev a senior interview

[atomic crystal]

Oh lol moving myself back to senior then thought it meant something else oops

[prime sedge]

she had the craziest poker face

she did not smile

or frown

it was just rapid fire questions

[subtle python]

ye they like that

[prime sedge]

january 16th ish

midway through january

[subtle python]

gotchu

yea my friend had it around the 20th

[prime sedge]

yeah i don't know it was a really weird interview experience

like i've done 5 so far and it just stands out as the weirdest of my interviews

also some of the questions were wack as hell like "why do you do leadership"

[potent peak]

um

because I like to lead

ok that's weird

[prime sedge]

yeah i just talked about being able to make change and realize visions or something like that

at least i hope i talked about that

and didn't just waffle for 2 minutes straight

you know how most interviewers nod when you're talking

[pale rain]

what other qs did you have

[atomic crystal]

valid

[prime sedge]

like to acknowledge what you're saying/encourage you

her face did not move

[prime sedge]

she asked a ton of why questions

like i was telling her abt this event i do for scioly

and she was like

[rose vale]

I am procrastinating mit fun form

[prime sedge]

"why do you do it"

[rose vale]

[prime briar]

seniors are not as experienced

[prime sedge]

no but it came off as my most disciplined interview

which is weird as hell

[rose vale]

my mit interview was like that

[fallen blade]

U guys will be fineeee, friend said she had a bad rea interview and got in anyways

[rose vale]

2 hours of questions after questions

[prime sedge]

yea i don't think it was a bad interview

like i think it went fine

it was just really really wack

[fallen blade]

That's gud then

[prime briar]

i wonder if the senior interviews are if no one is available but they still rly want to interview you

[prime sedge]

pretty sure for yale it does

dunno about others

[prime sedge]

dunno

[subtle python]

i know for harvard the process is a bit diff

idk

all of my friends who had yale senior interviewers were pretty damn good applicants

[fallen blade]

From some of the admissions file review videos I've seen they do make note of the interview report, but it's not quite an end all be all it seems

[subtle python]

and in their years

had really good resutls

[prime sedge]

lmao

ig we'll see then

[subtle python]

my g cracked

gl gl

[prime sedge]

i don't think im a good enough applicant to get a likely

[subtle python]

bulldog '28

🙏

[prime sedge]

but maybe in march

[sonic zinc]

The yale club of south Florida is not cooking

Yalover

[fallen blade]

What they doin

[fallen moon]

not giving interviews apparently

[sonic zinc]

Not giving interviews to any one

[prime sedge]

the only selfish reason i wanted a likely is cause i'm going to yale this weekend for a comp and i dont want to admire the beautiful campus just to get rejected

[fallen blade]

Big oof

[fallen blade]

Tis always March to

[prime sedge]

yeah but like i either want to go there and find reasons to love it or go there and find reasons to hate it

also lmao the other kids in my club have taken the yale memes so seriously that they are implementing a buddy system for walking around new haven

[sonic zinc]

New Haven is not Baghdad

[prime sedge]

fr

[sonic zinc]

💀

[void slate]

haven’t gotten yale interview. am i cooked?

[prime sedge]

i've seen a2c posts of people getting yale interviews in march

[prime briar]

scioly?

[weak steeple]

whats ur team 👀

im going

[prime sedge]

yes??

[chilly thunder]

goddamnit i just mocked the 2020 f=ma part A and got a 21 because im actually throwing

what is wrong with me

i got question 3 wrong because i dont know how to actually read properly

i need reading comprehension skills

praying i qual tmrw

[fallen moon]

no offense but shut up billert thats literally 4 questions from a perfect 25/25 and a solid 3-4 questions above the cutoff, chill bro you're gonna do fine tmrw

[chilly thunder]

Slightly stressed for no reason

I usually do worse under pressure

[fallen moon]

it's gonna be okay i believe in u <3

good luck tmrw!!

lmao i remember taking the f=ma last year for funsies and i got a 13 💀

[chilly thunder]

Rip

I started studying physics last year and i think i had some genuine talent inside me for like 5 solid months

Then i pulled a couple all nighters in a row and ive never been the same 💀

Prioritize ur health

[noble steppe]

nah it was just a skill issue

sleep is for the weak

[fallen moon]

how do i still not have perms

smh

how much do i need to talk in here bruh

[chilly thunder]

U needa talk for like 30 min or smth

[fallen moon]

how tf do they quantify talking

or messaging

in terms of time

[chilly thunder]

You get one point if u send a message in a minute

[fallen moon]

oh cool

ok 😄 👍

[weak steeple]

wait arent u usapho medalist

[noble steppe]

nerd

[weak steeple]

fr

[clear pond]

does it come in waves?

[fallen blade]

U mean interviews?

[clear pond]

ya and likely

[fallen blade]

Interviews I think so second one idj

Idk*

[slow copper]

lol yall need to chill for not getting likelies

they've barely started doing committees now

their podcast said they spend 6 weeks on committee

[vague oxide]

...so you're saying theres a chance

😈

[prime sedge]

im fairly sure likelies come over multiple days either way

probably ~200 to 300 people get them and they cant schedule all of those calls in one day

[valid compass]

the amount of times i read 'likelies' or 'likely' in this chat today is insane lmao

[worthy bolt]

interview to likely pipeline

paradigm shift

[vague oxide]

I mean if you tell a2c that there exists a magical email that guarantees your acceptance to Yale they are gonna be curious, especially those who didn't get one

[worthy bolt]

That applies if you tell a2c anything

[tall mortar]

Any1 who still didn't get interview ?

Will they still be coming out

[bleak prism]

Fr u right

[bleak prism]

@wary star sent in my loci 😭😭

[fallow lance]

sooo… yea didn’t get the email requesting a phone call tomo 😭😭

[young brook]

hey maybe you just entered your email address wrong 😍 (i am delusional)

[indigo kayak]

doesn't it come out in waves and usually at like 3-4 pm?

[bleak prism]

..mods why can’t you just ban discussion of this

[near geode]

it's interesting

[bleak prism]

its annoying

[pine latch]

We can’t ban discussion of everything

We don’t allow theorizing

But plain discussion is fine

[near geode]

at least chat is lively for once

📈

[wary star]

any answer to the question provides little to no utility

so I presume that there’s no effectiveness in banning the topic

[prime sedge]

i mean it's totally possible they sent them all out yesterday

but also totally possible they come out during this week

and who knows

[delicate jolt]

I mean we have 0 information other than some ppl got it yesterday

Maybe they’ve all been sent

Also why would we ban talking abt likely letters

[rose vale]

cuz it’s like not factual

[prime sedge]

this is true

[mint temple]

Would be so funny if the emails were made up and A2C got memed for having thousands of messages sent over this topic

[near geode]

even so, we know that yale likelies come out first 2 weeks of feb and typically people get them on a wednesday based on past years

[unique plank]

oh i was seeing thursday from past years

[rose vale]

It’s traditionally anytime these 2 weeks but we shoudlNtm think too much about it

[mint temple]

Fair enough but there’s a possibility that they were made up - all we can do is speculate

[fallen blade]

Tis is as speculated

[gusty kernel]

are yale likelys all released at once or do they come in waves?

[rose vale]

AHHHH GOOD LUCK

[rose vale]

Waves

[fallen blade]

Le calls are indeed likelies idk if their all stem specific but mine was

[rose vale]

CONGRATS!

Wait what is ur intended major?

[fallen blade]

CS + psych

[rose vale]

Ooooioo

[near geode]

congrats, what time zone if I may ask

wondering if its time zone specific or based on est calls

[kindred topaz]

HEY CONGRATS OMG

🔥🔥

[unique plank]

CONGRATULATIONS

[fallen blade]

Mst

[bleak prism]

Congrats!!!

[hasty pumice]

My friend just got a likely call from Yale

[prime sedge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1am7uoz/email_from_yale_ao/

[hasty pumice]

After getting a likely from Harvard

[prime sedge]

okay so they do come in waves

[chilly thunder]

hi puddles

[unique plank]

wow they’re cracked!!!

[bleak prism]

Those came out????

[cobalt rampart]

ok this one idk

they barelt even have a post history

[gusty kernel]

:o

[cobalt rampart]

they dont have one at all

[prime sedge]

maybe not

idk

why would someone just lie about it

[cobalt rampart]

ppl like to troll

and like attention

[prime sedge]

fair enough

[fallen blade]

I'm in AZ

[teal tusk]

yoo mst representation

[hasty pumice]

Got an REA likely

[atomic crystal]

Danggg congrats to them

They are crazy

[weak root]

P sure they dont send those

[hasty pumice]

I saw it in person! Pretty rare.

Was only the day before keep in mind

[weak root]

Why would they send those

[hasty pumice]

To show interest because its not binding

[weak root]

Cuz its obv that theyre prob ur first choice

[atomic crystal]

Tru but prob just means they really wanted them

[bleak prism]

IDT they have those

REA is already early

[hasty pumice]

They called him the day before and sent him a letter idk

[weak root]

Yeah but like they send likelies two months before rd decisions so they have time to recruit

Rea is alr like five months before

[hasty pumice]

No idea why

[weak root]

Theres no point in buying one day

[hasty pumice]

I dont work for harvard idk

[teal tusk]

yale emails about calls are probably likely letters

[spice willow]

Wish this bum school would man up and give me an interview

[teal tusk]

i mean wbk but its confirmed now (by me)

[hasty pumice]

If harvard hadnt and yale did ll, maybe he leans yale. Shows interest because he wasnt set on harvard it was just his rea pick

[bleak prism]

Man UP lol

[spice willow]

Seeing people speculate over likelies makes me miss the its yaleover no interview phase of this chat

[bleak prism]

yes I missed the wailing hope it comes back

I don’t wanna hear more discussion about likelies

[spice willow]

[bleak prism]

every time I look at smth about it I’m transported to when ea decisions came out

[teal tusk]

im definitely worried about ot getting an interview too

but i heard yale cares a lot about gpa so idt i stand that much of a shot in that regard

[bleak prism]

right???

[spice willow]

No because my top choice changes each time

[north current]

im still mentally stuck in that phase

[prime sedge]

whoops

[bleak prism]

I simply have no top choices. I’ll go to whoever takes me

[spice willow]

And rn it was yale

[prime sedge]

was that not allowed

[spice willow]

But this no interview thing isnt helping my delusions

[north current]

yeah i still remember the ao that came to my school being very blunt about it

[spice willow]

So not happy

[bleak prism]

I get this, even including the fact that we have a month ish until decisions release

[prime sedge]

you guys have AOs at your schools??

damn wtf

i have never seen an AO in real life

[teal tusk]

the yale ao at my college access program prescreened my transcript before talking to me lmfaoo

[north current]

no like they come to visit

[prime sedge]

not my school

tbf i live in nowhere, new york

[north current]

the vistiting ao literally said if your gpa is usually under a 3.7ish they tend to not even bother reading it 💀

[north current]

i live in nyc so probs why

[spice willow]

That yale podcast gave me delusions

[prime briar]

did anyone do the call today? is it a likely?

[spice willow]

Calls are likelies yes

[prime sedge]

they're likelies yeah

[teal tusk]

ok wait im above a 3.7

[spice willow]

Bitch ass school !

[teal tusk]

yes i have solid confirmation now

[prime briar]

alr

[north current]

yeah im in the 3.8 range but TO so i have no hope

[prime sedge]

i wonder if they send out all the likelies on one day

[spice willow]

Also fuck the pre college programs that are emailing me rn

[prime briar]

fr, tufts be like

[bleak prism]

no lol

[bleak prism]

FR LIKE WHY NOW

[spice willow]

Can’t be because mine is coming still

[slow copper]

so by them “caring a lot about gpa” it means they just dont read if you’re under 3.7?

[prime sedge]

real

[spice willow]

Interview smh !

[bleak prism]

I mean even tho I got an interview in EA I doubt it meant anything in a pool of 8k applicants only

[prime sedge]

i got a senior interview so i was like maybe a chance but then i saw some people online saying that's actually delusional and senior interviews don't mean anything

[spice willow]

When

[slow copper]

was the person who got a yale likely here a top stem person

[bleak prism]

DW Bertha ur so good that they don’t need an interview to admit you

[teal tusk]

my friend was to and got a likely

[bleak prism]

The defer-reject pipeline at this school is crazy

[north current]

yeah im just gonna assume the worst for now lmaoo

better to expect rejection than to anticipate an acceptance

[bleak prism]

Agreed

[teal tusk]

im definitely screwed

[prime sedge]

in theory yeah but how do you convince yourself that you're gonna be rejected

[fallen blade]

It probably depends but I had a senior interview and it went well

[prime sedge]

😭 dont say things like that

[bleak prism]

But this is the time where you guys forget about Yale and think about the millions of other schools you applied to RD that you would happily go to over Yale

[prime sedge]

you're getting my hopes up

it's gonna crush me

[remote vortex]

anybody here get a likely

[teal tusk]

not only did i apply to the wrong major entirely but i wrote an essay about a major i didnt list and then my gpa is also mid asf and mid sat (i submitted)

[prime sedge]

when was ur senior interview

[fallen blade]

😭 you'll be fineeee the senior interviewer was professional but also chill

[prime sedge]

@fallen blade

[fallen blade]

Jan 27th

[prime sedge]

was it more of a "why u should go to yale" or evaluative

[fallen blade]

Mmm she did ask me evaluative things

Like why I wanted to go to Yale, questions about my ecs, etc

[prime sedge]

yeah

same

i thought that for likelies the interviews might be more skewed towards convincing u to go to yale

[north current]

oh nah

[teal tusk]

my friend got a likely but wasnt a yes scholar

[north current]

i applied for an extremely competitive major and i am not cracked lol

[fallen blade]

Ehhh she did mention she thought I would be a good fit for Yale and I'm personally not sure lol

[teal tusk]

which

[prime sedge]

yeah mine said that too

idk

i might be drawing too much from it though

[north current]

epe

[fallen blade]

It sounds like urs went well thou so that's always good

[north current]

ethics politics economics

[bleak prism]

oh same dang gl Abe

[prime sedge]

true

i guess we'll see

or i mean

that depends if they're even still sending out likelies

otherwise i'll see in march ig

[teal tusk]

and i meant to click bme

[north current]

you too

[remote vortex]

is there a possibility i receive an interview after this

[north current]

i mean i think its kinda in the same interest field so you might be alright

[fallen blade]

U got this

[spice willow]

No I put my ass into the yale essays

Mfw when ivy is selective

[prime sedge]

thanks haha

congrats to u

[teal tusk]

hopefully i just get into stanford and dont have to worry

[bleak prism]

ask them to switch

[teal tusk]

i send an app update

[bleak prism]

Friend did it with Cornell and the team for my area reached out to them and said sure bc their essay had nothing to do with it

[spice willow]

I forgot I applied to stanny

Or well I haven’t thought about it much

It was my top choice in junior year

Right now yale is circulating in my mind

Just because interviews are “selective “

[teal tusk]

i always neglect the fact i applied brown

[spice willow]

Something something ego desth

[spice willow]

I love it but there’s nothing to freak out about unlike Yale interviews

So lowkey why

[prime sedge]

yale should just tell us how they pick interviewees

[fallen blade]

Brown doesn't interview?

[prime sedge]

someone should sue them so they have to publish it

[spice willow]

No

[fallen blade]

icic

[bleak prism]

Alumni of the school

[slow copper]

how did yale prescreen me so fast they gave me one january 8th

[spice willow]

They do have a video portfolio tho

Maybe I should start scouring the internet for Cornell likelies

[teal tusk]

yales my 2nd choice besides stanford tbh

[bleak prism]

I didn’t do any video portfolio are they that important

[teal tusk]

for brown? yes

[spice willow]

I’m sure some people have gotten in without them but uh

[teal tusk]

they're helpful

[prime sedge]

no interviewees

not interviewers

like the candidates who do

[bleak prism]

oh

[north current]

youll prob get it as a deferee or at least another t20

[spice willow]

Bdon ivy sweep in coming

Yale give me my interview !

Can’t wait to spread negative propaganda against any school that rejects me

[prime sedge]

i bet my friend 30 bucks i'd sweep the ivies for shits and giggles

[spice willow]

#hater

[bleak prism]

fr bad talk them

Everywhere

[spice willow]

FuckSC

[prime sedge]

probably a bad decision in retrospect

[north current]

me fr

im very petty lol

[bleak prism]

at least I didn’t pay anything for these rejections 🤷🏽‍♀️

[spice willow]

Fuck Bronny James

[fallen moon]

real asf

[spice willow]

you post on CC ?

Stg I saw u

[bleak prism]

yeah 😭😭😭😭

[teal tusk]

did you have a 4.0 or something america

[bleak prism]

Back when I was paranoid thinking I wouldn’t afford college

[spice willow]

America gives 3.9 vibes ngl

Or 3.8

[bleak prism]

But now I update the cc girlies about my decisions cause they’re so lovely

[teal tusk]

i feel like if you had a 3.8 they might've deferred you to see your senior grades or something

[bleak prism]

no, I have a 3.9 but my school does grading differently so I had a few b’s and many a-‘s

[teal tusk]

ohh

[bleak prism]

And abandoned AP which might’ve raised a flag

[teal tusk]

do you think it was that

[bleak prism]

yeah 😭😭

And bc the people who get in from my area take lots of AP classes but I took DE instead

and my circumstances were quite weird

[teal tusk]

why'd you take de instead?

i mean valid choice

[bleak prism]

AP sucks I hate taking the exams and I was realistic too bc I thought I’d go to my state school so all of my DE credits transfer and I got to take classes that I like

[teal tusk]

thats fair

[bleak prism]

yeah

I am ngl I knew I’d be deferred, an acceptance seemed unexpected

[teal tusk]

same ik i was getting deferred at best

[spice willow]

Lowkey same

[teal tusk]

theres no way they wouldnt wanna see my midyear report

[spice willow]

So I didn’t apply early to a reach LOL

Except USC nvm

And see how that turned out ☠️

[bleak prism]

FR 😂😂

[spice willow]

But on the plus side I was no longer test optional for RD

Thx december SAT

[bleak prism]

oh congrats!!!

[teal tusk]

what did u get

[north current]

i feel like brown did this but im lowkey prob just speculating since they had a pretty low deferral rate this year and i just want to know why i got deferred 💀

[bleak prism]

I think that also was a low point in my app lmao

[spice willow]

1510

Superscore teehee

[teal tusk]

i feel like all the questies ik who didnt get in got deferred

[bleak prism]

Fire, amazing

[teal tusk]

niceeee W

what was ur math?

[spice willow]

Brown hates wuestion

Qu’estimes

[spice willow]

740

Brown and USC hate questies

[teal tusk]

holy english bro

780 english is crazy

[north current]

yeah thats what i think

[north current]

no fr

[spice willow]

USC when people financially struggling try to apply 😡 /j

[spice willow]

English clutched

[north current]

brown probably said they took enough questies alr 😭

[teal tusk]

which is crazy imo

[spice willow]

For what ?

[teal tusk]

in math
