Yale University (2023-2024)

[spice willow]

They’re smoking NGL

[bleak prism]

hahaha

Crazy

[spice willow]

It does sound crazy

[bleak prism]

They told me to not apply to Wharton w/out calc

[teal tusk]

so did you take calc?

[bleak prism]

CAS it is

Nope I take precalc rn

[teal tusk]

de?

[spice willow]

That calc grade gave me a headache during USC apps

FuckSC

New cope found for if I get rejected

[teal tusk]

they also said they wanted to see 2 year of physics up to e&m or 2

if possible

[bleak prism]

Yeah, couldn’t take it in the fall due to schedule conflicts and course availability

[teal tusk]

deleting that to not make people freak out

[teal tusk]

damn

if you could've taken it fall would you have taken it and calc?

[spice willow]

💀 … lmao I’m cooked

[bleak prism]

Ikr I can actually count on one hand the amount of issues with my app

[raw ravine]

CONGRATS

[teal tusk]

i mean just take the highest physics class and u should be fine

[bleak prism]

Probably then but as the year progressed I kept thinking about how much I hated math

Like beyond calc I would never touch math

[spice willow]

True

God I feel like I’ve been having prophetic visions lately

Like déjà vu

[teal tusk]

did you take physics?

[spice willow]

Yeah

[teal tusk]

which one

[spice willow]

I wasnt super happy post March

My school doesn’t have AP physics

But I have 2 years of it

[teal tusk]

oh ur chillin then

[teal tusk]

oh does ur school have freshman physics too?

[spice willow]

Yeah

Sort of

[teal tusk]

at my school you can only take honors physics or ap physics they dont recommend you take both

its kinda mid tho cuz juniors are rushed into e&m

[cobalt rampart]

same

i was yapping abt sociology and realized that had nothing to do w sociology

[dusky tusk]

Yuck fale

[spice willow]

No interview either ?

[bleak prism]

will not taking precalc until now impact me negatively when I explained in my app that my district doesn’t have any programs in place meant to accelerate students from their math track and that they were determined in MIDDLE SCHOOL

[dusky tusk]

No jester

[bleak prism]

Plus cc courses in math in my area are extremely extremely expensive

[spice willow]

It’s out of your control

[teal tusk]

wtf???

[spice willow]

And UNC didn’t care so…

[teal tusk]

you cant go from algebra 1 to geometry fresh year or take them at the same time?

[spice willow]

🤷‍♀️

[spice willow]

Rip ! Us

[bleak prism]

you can’t skip any math level but yeah you can go from alg 1 to geo

[teal tusk]

bruh

thats fucked

[bleak prism]

I took honors algebra 1 as a freshman 😭😭

[teal tusk]

full ride moment

[dusky tusk]

Nah i been doing some college research and realized i wouldnt even enjoy yale and i applied only bc its an ivy

Sadly lots of my list is looking like that

[spice willow]

Saving that college research for April because

[teal tusk]

my old school was like that

they hated kids accelerating

[bleak prism]

still in shock and what’s so funny was I got rejected from assured enrollment for my major (health care policy)

[dusky tusk]

Im bored 😑

[spice willow]

Waste of time to be like omg tufts is so my vibe and then get rejected 💀

[bleak prism]

even tho my essays were on health policy 💀💀

[spice willow]

Rooting for you !

[dusky tusk]

I alr know i aint getting in but why not research just cuz

[spice willow]

Il sure you’ll still be able to declare the major easy peasy

[bleak prism]

thank you !! Rooting for you toooo

[teal tusk]

im currently procastinating my stanford essays

[spice willow]

Because that’s how I fall in love with new schools

[cobalt rampart]

in my school if you werent hete since middle forget about taking any accelerated math

[visual crypt]

nah real asf, going in with no expectations

[spice willow]

And not needed rn !

[cobalt rampart]

so im here w my dual math for liberal arts

[spice willow]

Oh no I have expectations

[visual crypt]

oh😭

[spice willow]

Sweeping all my decisions with an acceptance

Teehee

[cobalt rampart]

And oossible dyscalculia

[teal tusk]

mine was like "if ur not in honors math ur stuck" pretty much

[dusky tusk]

I admire your confidence! (part 4)

[cobalt rampart]

heah mine too

[visual crypt]

good luck😭😭

[spice willow]

H8r

[cobalt rampart]

i wanted to take algebra 2 over the summer and they didnt let me

[teal tusk]

but the normal track at my old school was ap calculus so

we still got calculus 😭

[dusky tusk]

What EAs did u do other than usc

Ur part of the non ed gang right bertha

[teal tusk]

safeties i think

[spice willow]

Commitment issues

[dusky tusk]

Non ed gang on top

[bleak prism]

yeah!!!! Mine did this too so all of the kids who paid their way in middle school and took a few acceleration tests are now in calc 3

[teal tusk]

not eding was the best choice i ever made

[dusky tusk]

Ok non ed and non rea gang on top

!!!

[cobalt rampart]

this is literally my problem too omfg

[bleak prism]

nah I regret not ed ing bc of rea

[spice willow]

Lol I’m remembering your ED Columbia phase

[teal tusk]

alr realistically i lost out on nothing

[cobalt rampart]

they have kids take

[visual crypt]

nah fr

[teal tusk]

i wasnt eaing uchicago or mit

[spice willow]

Would you have done Penn ?

[cobalt rampart]

2 math classes a year

[bleak prism]

100 percent 😭😭😭

[cobalt rampart]

sinc e6th grade

starting w pre algebra

[bleak prism]

now nothing is guaranteed in RD

[cobalt rampart]

so by the tike theyre a junior/senior theyre forced to take ap calc

or have no math

[teal tusk]

i think i would've been deferred columbia tbh

it would've been a risky move on their part to not see my midyr report

[cobalt rampart]

and then they dont gaf if they fail the tests

[teal tusk]

lmao thats what happened at my old one

they finished precalc sophomore year and had to take calc 1 junior year

[dusky tusk]

Columbia?

[bleak prism]

UPenn actually told me that my grades or math level wasn’t bad for their school which was comforting

[teal tusk]

no

[dusky tusk]

You kinda kid

Did

[teal tusk]

like i said i wouldn't have gotten in anywhere early

[dusky tusk]

I mean unless u dont like it

Why do u believe that

[teal tusk]

^

[dusky tusk]

You have a strong app

[teal tusk]

not in terms of grades

plus im skeptical about columbia rn

[visual crypt]

was it ever?

[teal tusk]

she was PEEP so she would've had a stronger chance at penn ed

[visual crypt]

oh sorry i thought she was talking about rd apps in general

[teal tusk]

oh lol

[visual crypt]

that’s my bad

[teal tusk]

ur good

[zealous jolt]

its all over.

[bleak prism]

but it never started

[zealous jolt]

yale didnt even want to interview me this is so tragic

[visual crypt]

BRO CHILL

your interviewer could be slacking fr

my mentor started doing interviews for dartmouth and he was assigned these students

and he said he never checked and emailed them like 1-2 weeks late

[warm musk]

is there any evidence of likelies all coming out on one day or is it in waves?

looks like my chances went from near zero to zero 😭

[delicate jolt]

p sure it's in waves

[teal tusk]

most of the admitted class doesnt get a likley

i wouldnt worry

[delicate jolt]

I'd say if you don't get one by end of next week, you won't be getting a likely. Though as many people have said ^ more people get accepted without a likely than those with

They only give out around 150

maybe a lil more

[gusty kernel]

is it usually in waves? if so, how many waves do they come in?

[delicate jolt]

Nobody knows, it largely just depends on your regional AO/when the likely committee decides to give you a likely

Like whoevery our regional AO is maybe they have more than one likely and just havent' been able to schedule you yet or sum

[visual crypt]

facts like 90% right?

[warm musk]

Did national merit finalists come out today?

[fallen blade]

Did they? I never got a notif

[delicate jolt]

don't think so

[warm musk]

dang idk why I had 2/8 written down as the decision date 😭 I swear they said today or something

[valid compass]

fr? from yale?

[topaz creek]

oi chat

[neon sedge]

Wow! you received a Likely call… amazing, congratulations!

[teal tusk]

yes

[valid compass]

aren't they like super serious about test scores?

[dusky tusk]

Yea but all the top colleges love diversity and most likelies tend to go to diverse applicants that they want to attract and make them feel special

[pale rain]

what other AOs have visited?? what do they talk abt when they come

[valid compass]

aww i did not know that. that's really sweet of them 🤧

[valid compass]

but like did ur friend have something unique or what?

[north current]

a bunch of them visit but they usually just give a rundown of the school and answer questions

[pale rain]

oh that’s cool

[spice willow]

the gist about likelies is poaching -- colleges like yale are guessing which applicants theyre admitting that might be high in demand, and sending them likelies to endear them to the school

sometimes theyre right that the applicant is highly sought after, sometimes theyre wrong

[valid compass]

hmm makes sense actually

[spice willow]

paraphrashing from yale's podcast if you'd like the link to read the transcript of their words

[valid compass]

lol i have listened to that podcast episode so nw

but i just think that the process and criteria also varies from one school to another

[valid compass]

even though this one makes the most sense

[spice willow]

true, but that's the general idea for likelies imo

what might differ is how each school defines highly sought out applicant

[valid compass]

college fit i think?

that's probably why a single peron doesn't get liklies from every school

[spice willow]

combined with institutional priorities, it should be yeah

[valid compass]

at most ive seen cases where a single person got 2-3 liklies

[valid compass]

like if just one criteria was used then the person should've been flooded with liklies

but that's almost never the case

so yeah institutional priorities should be pretty big in this

[rose vale]

Have you guys seen any non-stem likely’s yet?

From last years yale post it’s suppose to be 50/50

[unborn fractal]

someone last year got 5

and got in all ivies + MIT + duke

[valid compass]

oh mb

[valid compass]

is it like a youtuber/reddit post or u just know the person?

[slow copper]

person was probably hella hooked but also hella cracked

[valid compass]

isn't it so cool for the people who get likelies without an interview

they're probably expecting an interview

but end up getting a literal golden ticket to yale

[topaz creek]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

gib interview pls

show some signal of my application not being thrown into a shredder

[cloud totem]

Is Yale really calling engineering and science people up 😭😭

[topaz creek]

we re done for

[rustic silo]

i don’t mean to stir the pot but likelies have at least begun to come out

we asked some student RCs in the yale admit server

[valid compass]

what's RC?

[rustic silo]

recruitment coordinator? i’m not entirely sure. they’re current yale students that work with admissions

[clever cave]

AYY

me deffo not getting one

saw a post about a likly call

this week over on r/a2c

[topaz creek]

i dont expect a likely

the only thing that is likely abt my app

is that its likely in the shredder

[valid compass]

damn i relate so much with this

[clever cave]

SAMEE man

[unborn fractal]

no someone on a2c

[valid compass]

damn

[fallow ember]

i did not get from harrvard

goys im not gettin an interview should i give up hope alr

[topaz creek]

real

[valid compass]

don't

don't be like me

[topaz creek]

what is hope

baby dont hurt me

dont hurt me

no more

[fallow ember]

i just saw someone fr my school filled out css profile saying their annual fam income was 3k

( priv school )

she got in dartmouth how tf

[valid compass]

life is unfair buddy

that's how it all works

[topaz creek]

my fam is like 5k alr and we poor asf

higher bounds tho

like 5.8 5.9

[fallow ember]

no way cause the maximum pkage yale gave intl so far is 4k/year

how u gonna survive

[topaz creek]

why does that bum consulting service brag abt their 400k aid package

😭

[near geode]

they want you

[fallow ember]

but they r not gonnagive u all ight💀

[topaz creek]

too bad my fam poor 🔥🔥🔥

[fallow ember]

rob the bank

[topaz creek]

and im not getting in anyways so why bother 🔥🔥🔥

[fallow ember]

44 until lny n we broke af

angel number thi

[topaz creek]

real

why the tv yapping "tet is hope"

bitch i got no hope

i feel like a desparate bf

the way i beg this entity to call me

[raw ravine]

guys my interviewer hasn't emailed me back in 3 days should i email to nudge?

[remote vortex]

yea just be polite

[topaz creek]

he is so me fr

[limber magnet]

dr ratio 😍

[topaz creek]

dr ratio 😎

[remote vortex]

Has anybody ever gotten a likely and not gotten in

[warm musk]

Did all likelies come out yesterday

[rustic silo]

they send you an invite to bulldog days and a link to the admit discord along with the likely letter. i highly doubt this means you will get rejected

[tired flint]

That’s funny that yale has an official discord meanwhile us Stanford kids had to make one ourselves 💀

And there’s no official Instagram or portal to connect either

[spice willow]

stanford kids are innovative 😂

[noble steppe]

Yale having an official discord is fairly new

2025 and 26 are student run, it started with 27

anyway no one uses them like two weeks after you get here lol

[warm musk]

?? Has anyone gotten likely email after yesterday?

[rose vale]

No Reddit post

today so

Maybe not

But they come in waves so just wait!

[neon sedge]

I think the STEM likely email/phone call comes first (YES people) and maybe next Wednesday… 🤞🏼the other majors???

[remote vortex]

Idk if that’s true

Because I saw someone get one as a music major

This year

[slow copper]

yeah they do say they give likelies to people they want in the arts

like on the arts portfolio if you get a high rating they'd probably wanna recruit you

[remote vortex]

Yea

for STEM I think they mostly give them to people who they think are a good fit for mit Stanford etc

In an attempt to attract them to Yale

[slow copper]

yes thats true for yes scholars

i doubt it works though

an article says the yield is still 30 something percent

[shadow kayak]

Lol tiktok

I j saw tht

[slow copper]

i doubt any olympiad/research kid is picking yale over stanford/harvard/mit because of a likely

[shadow kayak]

I would…😅

Tht grade inflation 🤤

[slow copper]

stanford and harvard have that same grade inflation too

[rose vale]

Wait can u send me link

[rose vale]

HOPEFUKLY AHHH

There wasn’t much post aboutnlikely’s in 2023 and 2022, but in 2021 they sent Stem likely’s first around end of Jan to early feb and then non-stem the following week.

[noble steppe]

clearly some do lol

[teal tusk]

my friend got a likely but not YES

[noble steppe]

tbh the policy probably works a bit, because it seems like yale/harvard double admits pick yale at a 30-40% rate, and getting similar numbers for the elite STEM admits (where yale lacks most acutely) is quite impressive

that guaranteed research money go brrrr (the best part is that no one has ever really struggled getting funding it purely is a marketing tactic)

[noble steppe]

huh what major

[teal tusk]

stem

engineering

but she didnt get yes scholar

[noble steppe]

hmm odd

im surprised, given there are like ~100 YES scholars so I just assumed all STEM likelies get it

cus how many likelies do yale give out? cant be that much more

[spice willow]

roughly 200

[noble steppe]

source (out of interest)?

[spice willow]

gimme a sec

[teal tusk]

do you go to yale?

[noble steppe]

yes, i attend yale university in the state of connecituct

[spice willow]

"[Mark] And in the name of transparency, we’ll say there’s no set number of these that we give out in any given year, but it tends to be around 200 or so of the 2,300 or so total offers of admission that we will send out in a given year" -- yale admission podcast, episode Likely Letters
https://admissions.yale.edu/podcast-transcripts

[noble steppe]

ok huh tysm <3

[noble steppe]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_College,_Wrexham (not this yale to be clear)

[fallen blade]

Oh that's kinda funny then

[noble steppe]

fun fact: elihu yale is buried in wrexham, wales, and there is a pub (a wetherspoons, specifically) named after him

wetherspoons is like the mcdonalds of pubs

[teal tusk]

were you a YES scholar?

[bronze steeple]

hmm idk about that tbh

cuz none of the other t5s care about olympiads that much anymore (even mit)

[noble steppe]

no, got in REA

[bronze steeple]

maybe except princeton unless ur top 50 in any of the olympiads

tbf even yale hasn't been taking that many olympiad kids as yes scholars in recent years too

[noble steppe]

im fairly certain they are trying to attract people they are certain will get into (and would generally attend) mit/stanford/etc, so it makes sense given those schools are also caring less abt olys

tbh i think capital is the biggest problem, they need to get cooking on the new engineering buildings

[bronze steeple]

yeah the thing with olys isnt that they're inherently bad.. it's just that most of the kids that do olys tend to be less skilled writers and don't have time for other things so their app is boring overall, so if they pour all that time and they're still not that good then autoadmit is very questionable 🤔

[bronze steeple]

yeah even then it'll take a few decades for their rep in stem to go up

i was on some threads a while back from the late 2000s and early 2010s and people said MIT (literally a school made for engineering) is at the same tier as cornell for STEM so yale has a ways to go

[noble steppe]

it will, but when you have that kinda money they can sorta will things into existence

sure, it takes time, but for example: SOM went from being (relatively) irrelevant as a business 15 years ago to being consistently ranked amongst the M7s

[noble steppe]

it isn't that they aren't willing to put up the money (they are), it's just that actually building so much shit takes time lol, way more than for a business school

[bronze steeple]

for sure i think their first step for now would be to recruit more kids for yes weekend that way they can have more than 30-40 top stem commits/year (~30% yield according to them)

cuz the more commits see/know ppl also doing stem @ yale the more likely they would pick yale over other t5s

[remote vortex]

Yea I feel like mit Stanford attracts way more stem kids

[topaz creek]

yale attract me cuz i got no shot at m/s

[potent peak]

it's yoever

[rugged chasm]

yale isnt a t10 stem school

so they just want cracked stem students for likely

mostly ppl w a proven track record and the most convenient metric is notable research

[noble steppe]

this argument only works if you define stem as engineering and cs lol

[topaz creek]

its yalever

[hollow light]

Did anyone get yale interview from india?

[topaz creek]

same but for vietnam

[valid compass]

im sure ppl did

[radiant harbor]

when is too late to send my app update?

[valid compass]

feb end id assume

[bleak prism]

Lock?

loci?

They wanted it submitted by early-mid Feb

So I would do it now

I submitted mine recently

[valid compass]

oh if it's loci

[valid compass]

definitely this

[radiant harbor]

i was gonna submit an update but not a full loci cause they said they didn’t really care for them like that on their website

ima just send what i’ve been doing since rea and throw a hashtag go yale or sum at the end

😭😭

thanks

[bleak prism]

loll

I did that too

My loci had a few updates about school and scholarships

Then at the end I said Yale is my top choice

But idk if it is honestly lol it was never that deep

I didn’t really talk about why I wanted to go to Yale

[valid compass]

i think for yale, updates do well

[bleak prism]

Bc they already know why

[valid compass]

they actually want minimum info

so a full-fledged loci wouldn't be any better then just your updates in pointers

but yeah don't go over mid-feb

[radiant harbor]

yeah they said it on their site and podcast

which i’m glad

cause i didn’t want to write a full letter

“your my top choice because your the only t20 with the major i want” the end

[valid compass]

lol

[fallen moon]

so i guess my delusional clown ahh 🤡 is not gonna get a likely 💀

[valid compass]

stop worrying about that buddy 🤧

u don't even need a likely to get in

[radiant harbor]

only time will tell

[fallen moon]

wouldve been nice to have a nonsafety acceptance 😭

[radiant harbor]

control what u can control lololo

[fallen moon]

i'm the king of deferral land rn

[topaz creek]

fuck likelies im just better

[fallen moon]

real

[topaz creek]

i will get in here

[warm musk]

so no more likelies are being sent anymore 😭

is there a Yale ao for each state?

[fallen blade]

Mmmm some of them cover for multiple states

[gloomy sorrel]

Just got a Yale interview

[fallen moon]

woah

[gloomy sorrel]

Don’t know if it’s a bad or good thing😬

[fallen moon]

for when?

[fallen blade]

Its probably a good thing!

[fallen moon]

like what date did your interviewer give you

[fallen moon]

^^ def! esp this close to the end of the interviewing cycle

[gloomy sorrel]

I just got the email like 20 mins ago

So I have to schedule it still

[fallen moon]

ah okay

did your interviewer give a date range?

[gloomy sorrel]

Um lemme check

“Kindly provide some times over the next couple of weeks.”

[fallen moon]

oh okay

yo does anyone have a photo of/link to the colorful admissions timeline thingy with the interview assignment deadline

[fallen blade]

https://asc.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/ASCOrientation_2021_2_0.pdf

This thing?

I think you need to scroll down a little

[fallen moon]

yeah that thanks!!

[spice thorn]

Anyone from the Middle East got an interview ?

[cloud totem]

it’s the end of the cycle?? 😭😭😭

[fallen moon]

yeah apparently interviews stop going out after feb 14th

[topaz creek]

its yalever

no email no LL no interview

[naive blaze]

I am so dead
i though i could still hope for something but now...

[fallen moon]

😔

guys be delusional we're just autoadmits

[warm musk]

One more week of likelies coming out?

[delicate jolt]

Yuh

[fallen moon]

how do yk

don't likelies continue into march

[rose vale]

For yale it’s first 2 weeks of feb normally

[dusky tusk]

No interview and no likely

Looks like im an autoreject

[fluid ember]

They definitely accept more applicants who had no interview than applicants who receive likelies.

They don't just send out likelies to everyone.

It will be fine regardless of what happens!! I pinky swear.

[teal tusk]

i got neither either

[weak root]

Actually nobody gets likelies

The frequency of who gets them j gets amplified cuz we're in a2c

Just chill y'all 💀

[bronze steeple]

guys don't worry about an getting an interview

ik someone who got a yale interview but got rejected everywhere they applied

[worthy bolt]

that makes me worry more

the thought of getting rejected everywhere 😭

[delicate jolt]

LMAOOOOO

THATS WILD

[native crystal]

are there no more stem likelies

[remote vortex]

makes me feel better

[weak root]

bruh what

[worthy bolt]

was this before the addtl info policy

[potent peak]

I got an interview offer with a senior

RAAHHH

[near geode]

Congrats!

Good luck with ur interview 🙏

[bronze steeple]

no it was last cycle lol

[bronze steeple]

‼️ congrats

[neon sedge]

Amazing! GL with the interview

[potent peak]

Thanks guys

Hopefully i dont mess it up

[neon sedge]

Yei! GL

[fallen moon]

WOAH

good luck!!!!!

wait is a senior interview special

what does it mean to get a senior interview

is a senior a old person or a senior currently at yale

[potent peak]

a senior at yale

[potent peak]

it means there's no one from my country available to interview me lol

and yale is asking me to do the interview in the next 12 hrs

shit

[fallen moon]

omg

good luck u got thissss :D

wait arent u alr accepted at princeton

[potent peak]

yea

[fallen moon]

bruh so ur chilling 😭

it's so yaleover for me

[near geode]

yaleover for all of us

[topaz creek]

[potent peak]

I wonder when the interview deadline is

Bcs they force me to take it today

And today I’m full with lunar new year activities

[crisp oyster]

https://asc.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/ASC Orientation 2324(1).pdf

its somewhere on here

and good luck with ur interview!

[potent peak]

Thanks!

[rose vale]

I had my yale interview 2 weeks ago, and my interviewer made me do it the very next day she sent the email.

She said if I can’t someone else will contact me

[potent peak]

Did the slots they provide you only show the next day

[rose vale]

No she stated in her email she wants it next day

No other slots

it was something like Yale Alumi interview- tomorrow in the subject

[potent peak]

Hmm

[rose vale]

But doesn’t mean anything just alumi schedule

[potent peak]

For me the slots they provide online only indicate the next 12 hrs

I’m not sure i can make it

[rose vale]

I mean

[potent peak]

Yeah probably

[rose vale]

Chinese New Years u could try to slip away for

1hr

[worthy bolt]

nah… those aunties will hunt u down

[potent peak]

Im goin to other ppl’s houses tho

[potent peak]

So true LMAO

[worthy bolt]

longest conversations ever 😭😭

[rose vale]

HMMM

[potent peak]

Sometimes its not even useful

It’s just repeating the same points over and over

For the sake of speaking

[worthy bolt]

“When do u find out about college”

[potent peak]

[bleak prism]

if i was deferred and my gpa was lower than what it is now will yale note that when they review my file again

[potent peak]

I think it depends on the drop

Like how far it is

[bleak prism]

it went up by .02

😂

[worthy bolt]

..

i think u answered ur own question 😭

congrats tho

[bleak prism]

haha ok

[near geode]

online or in person?

assuming online cuz senior?

[potent peak]

Yah

[near geode]

hide in bathroom 😭

[potent peak]

Good idea ngl HAHA

[radiant harbor]

lunar new year is pretty important

right?

[topaz creek]

yuh

[valid compass]

Yale would never want me

[topaz creek]

same

i am not kenuff

i will never be yalenuff

[valid compass]

[dusky tusk]

Its yalover

[topaz creek]

yale channel is the negativest channel

and i love-hate it

[valid compass]

I so hope we could track our applications like we track online orders

"Your application is currently under review in the subcommittee"

[valid compass]

"The application has now been processed to the final stage"

[topaz creek]

I think im kinda super spiked in one particular field lmao

(delulu me wants to know)

[kindred topaz]

garv tbh

harv

prob mit

[valid compass]

oh thanks! im getting into harvard guys!

(please help me stay delulu everyone)

[neon sedge]

I haven’t gotten an interview, hopefully it doesn’t mean they shredded my application… Lol

[potent peak]

My interview is in 30 minutes

[neon sedge]

Good Luck! I am sure the interviewer will love you

[potent peak]

I hope so!

Fingers crossed

[rose vale]

GOOD LUCK

one of the question asked

[naive blaze]

https://asc.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/ASC Orientation 2324(1).pdf

[rose vale]

Was what is ur favorite book

[potent peak]

imma go with the Bible

i legit dont have any fav books

shit

[neon sedge]

think about a good movie that came from a book… something history related is safe

[potent peak]

Argylle 💀

Nah that’s bad

[potent peak]

I’m just praying that I wont get that Q bcs I dont read non academic books that often

[neon sedge]

not bad I think it is safe… he can’t judge you based on that… Lol

[potent peak]

Lol

[neon sedge]

maybe the interviewer will only ask questions about your EC your friends what you do for fun… not books and movies

[potent peak]

Hopefully

I’ve never stumbled upon anyone asking for a fav book before

[potent peak]

the swiftest interview I had

lmao

the interviewer was talking in 1.5x speed

and funnily I followed along

didn't ask me about anything outside of what I said abt myself at first

[valid compass]

Damn

Time to prepare a 3 minute intro ig

[bleak prism]

3 MIN??

it took me maybe 45 secs-min to introduce myself

[worthy bolt]

my spiel is around 3-5 minutes 😭

[autumn kiln]

Same I’m not trying to yap for too long 😭

[dusky tusk]

Wtf d1 yapper

💀💀

Mine is like 90 seconds on the extreme high end

Usually 45-60

[autumn kiln]

^

[dusky tusk]

Elevator pitch is called as such for a reason lol

No one is listening to such yapping

In the real world

Conciseness matters

[autumn kiln]

People have short attention spans

[dusky tusk]

Time is money

For those billionaires

[worthy bolt]

ok

[spice willow]

Lmao great answer 😂

[bleak prism]

this yeah

i know my attention span is short

[dusky tusk]

5 mins is straight up diabolical

Thats a whole final presentation

For a class

[bleak prism]

thats a whole speech

[worthy bolt]

y’all r literally yapping rn /j

[dusky tusk]

Ok pookie

[rose vale]

My intro is 10 minutes

[raw ravine]

same but usually they eat it up

bc there is a lot of stuff to build off of

[unborn fractal]

i think for a college interview 3-5 is fine

you want them to know your whole story not the elevator pitch version

What drives and motivates you yk

@worthy bolt probably did all that

[worthy bolt]

🙏

yeah i just tell a story about why im interested in my intended majors/activities

[dusky tusk]

Nah i disagree

They wont be able to fully comprehend everything if you say it all in one spiel

I think introducing 1-3 important things abt urself allows for a more natural conversation and flow

And its not an information overload

It allows for them to converse more freely with you

Like if some high schooler gave a 5 min convo about themselves without break i dont think many would even remember half of that

[rose vale]

Ya I think a longer intro makes the interview go better

Like they have a starting point to ask questions

And you basically answered all the questions they had and the remaining time is just telling more about u

[worthy bolt]

that should take 2-3 minutes, no? i honestly just tell my "origin story" for my interests and that takes up the time

[dusky tusk]

2 mins max

5 is absurd

[worthy bolt]

it's an interesting story imo so they dont get bored

[dusky tusk]

Thats 300 seconds

[worthy bolt]

true, i was just estimating

[dusky tusk]

Yea bro even if u say fuck u to the interviewer ur ass still getting in

Youre cracked ash

💀

[worthy bolt]

😭 nah im cooked for most of my schools

[neon sedge]

amazing! No book recommendations needed. I am happy for you

[near geode]

did the toilet method work 🤍

[potent peak]

I went to my aunt’s laundry area

[potent peak]

Thank you!

[autumn kiln]

What’s this

[steep scaffold]

just got a yale interview request

[bleak prism]

woo

gl my dude

take it easy

[steep scaffold]

i think ive done interviews for all 6 ivy's 💀 (that offer interviews)

yale being the last

its been crazy

[topaz creek]

hot damn

gl my g

[steep scaffold]

trust bro i got it

[dusky tusk]

Ive got 3/6 ivy interviews. Didnt get penn harv or yale

[steep scaffold]

(coping with the fact that its really hard to fail an interview and in the grand scheme of things this all doesnt matter)

[steep scaffold]

i think living near an urban area helps with alumni 🧑‍🎓

but idrk

[dusky tusk]

I live inthe suburbs

[rose vale]

GOOD LUCK

[dusky tusk]

Honestly idrc

Fuck the ivies

(Pre-coping bc i applied to all 8)

[wild dove]

that’s so real

[steep scaffold]

I really like Yale pre med

[dusky tusk]

Nah but fr tho im really blessed with how my EA round went to even if i dont get any RDs ill be completely fine with it

[autumn kiln]

They don’t want us 😔

[wild dove]

same here, holding out for RD but am very grateful as well abt EA

[dusky tusk]

Fs

I narrowed down my EAs to my top 2 if i dont get any RDs

Just to make the decision easier

[autumn kiln]

Can’t relate 😭

[neat token]

How should I send Yale my loci. Through the portal or email?

[valid compass]

I'd say portal

Easiest way to include new info to your file

[neat token]

Alright bet

[fallen moon]

i read somewhere that you should email the admissions officers if you upload anything into the portal, is that really necessary tho?

[worthy bolt]

no

[valid compass]

Nope

[neon sedge]

Interview request at 9:00 pm on a Sunday?…

[quaint sigil]

No interview for Yale = reject??

[teal tusk]

[neon sedge]

[spice willow]

Yale playing with the mods why

[crisp oyster]

i had my email on a sunday 10pm

[fallen moon]

:o

[crisp oyster]

[crisp oyster]

[neon sedge]

[unborn fractal]

Ms. Coke Scholar need not worry

[neon sedge]

thank u lol… hopefully 🤞🏼

[remote vortex]

Is it over if I still didn’t get an interview

[near geode]

nah

honestly I wouldnt want an interview anymore

[remote vortex]

Yea for any other school

But Yale is evaluate

Evaluative

And I’m deffo not auto admit

[near geode]

it was like interview in the bathroom lmfao cuz they were outside for cny

[near geode]

didnt they change it so its usually only if they need more info from you

u can flop the interview and still get in so dont see much evaluation from it

[crisp oyster]

it's over when you see the decisions in march

[autumn kiln]

?

[topaz creek]

im turning into the anger stage of grief

yuck fail

yale more like

Laye

[potent peak]

It do feel like that

My interview is like an interrogation with a nice smiley 1.5x speed talking policewoman

[autumn kiln]

Real!

[near geode]

😭 my interview conversation gonna be awkward if it was like that

[steep scaffold]

he sent it like an hour or so before i read it

[neon sedge]

GL with your interviewer, thanks for responding

[steep scaffold]

but i 100% wouldn’t say it was anything insane at all

[rose vale]

like the research i initially wanted to do it for college apps but i ended up loving it

[bleak prism]

ahhh nursing assistant is amazing!

how many hrs a week do u work there? like a rough estimate

[visual crypt]

like i got to look at bees and insects under a microscope it was sooo cool

i miss it so much i had to leave bc of school

[visual crypt]

on average i did 20-25+ hrs a week over the summer!!

[autumn kiln]

Omg I went to boys and girls state represent (party secretary, newspaper editor, and senator!!)

[bleak prism]
