Yale University (2023-2024)

[cobalt rampart]

real

[near geode]

yea

[cobalt rampart]

i loce my only option rn

but i would go into sk debt if i conmitted

[north current]

my best choice rn is union college which is like 5k/yr

not bad tbh

[cobalt rampart]

wtf thats amazing

[near geode]

got my estimated aid from umich today went from 75k/yr to 36k/yr

[cobalt rampart]

mine is 20k/yr if they give me merit

if not its like 30k

[near geode]

havent gotten any merit or anything yet

[cobalt rampart]

so expensive

but they halved it

[near geode]

yea idk why publics gotta be as expensive as privates

[cobalt rampart]

they are if ur instate

i shouldve applies to florida schools

[near geode]

u didnt apply uf?

[cobalt rampart]

ya but its a reach

[dusky tusk]

is that affordable

[cobalt rampart]

i havent applied anywhere else

[dusky tusk]

not instate

[near geode]

im waiting on scholarships

it might be soon

[cobalt rampart]

apparentlt someone said that theres no instate boost for uf

idk how true that is

[dusky tusk]

there def is

[cobalt rampart]

i rly hope so

[dusky tusk]

instate uf is a safety/target

mainly target

[near geode]

yea

[dusky tusk]

*not for everyone i mean the super cracked ppl

[cobalt rampart]

most top 10% in my school get into uf/um

[dusky tusk]

most with a good SAT get it

[near geode]

30% uf is like ut austin

[cobalt rampart]

but im still scared af

[cobalt rampart]

YEAH

[near geode]

but ut austin is like more chance

[dusky tusk]

ut is a lot harder non auto

[near geode]

uf I can see something

[dusky tusk]

ut auto is auto admit lol really easy

[autumn kiln]

Are you joking

[dusky tusk]

but non auto is ☠️

[autumn kiln]

Lowkey I thought this too

[dusky tusk]

no....maybe exagerrating with the safety

[autumn kiln]

But that’s definitely not true

[dusky tusk]

but its 100% a target

[autumn kiln]

Even w the target

[dusky tusk]

it def is true lmao

[autumn kiln]

If you’re super cracked

[dusky tusk]

its a target

[autumn kiln]

No bc I went to Florida

[near geode]

uf is like a lil higher than ucsd

[dusky tusk]

every florida kid considers it one

?

[autumn kiln]

My cousin is cracked asf

[autumn kiln]

No 💀

[uneven crag]

holy shit, yale likely AND met?

[dusky tusk]

nah not likely scroll down

2nd interview

[uneven crag]

ohh

[near geode]

yield?

[dusky tusk]

well most do

gracie does i think

[near geode]

do they yield

[dusky tusk]

they might yield protect

[autumn kiln]

She said that every single person worships Uf and that even the cracked people don’t think they’ll get in

[autumn kiln]

Idts

[autumn kiln]

I don’t think so

[dusky tusk]

that basically sounds like how we see UT

[near geode]

das like everyone for state schools no kap

[uneven crag]

did you apply uw madison

[autumn kiln]

Uf and fsu have gotten increasingly competitive

[near geode]

everyone says for ucsd and like half of them gets in

[dusky tusk]

i only did umich oos public bc ut lol

[uneven crag]

oh nvm

[dusky tusk]

maybe im just delusional then? i considered ut non auto a target from the start and its like 8% AR

[autumn kiln]

UCSD has gotten super competitive too

[autumn kiln]

Probably delulu

[dusky tusk]

tbf we always get 3-4 non autos every yea

[near geode]

thats delulu

[dusky tusk]

and most of them tend to be the top of the class

[near geode]

but uf stats was 37% no?

[dusky tusk]

and considering im right below the autos

[near geode]

thats like target range or hard target max

[dusky tusk]

i just assumed i would get in

[autumn kiln]

I’m pretty sure it’s gone down

[dusky tusk]

@autumn kiln 3 of the 4 non autos that got in from my school this year were tied for rank 3

[near geode]

and if ur cracked im sure it can be close to 60%

[autumn kiln]

Makes sense then

[autumn kiln]

Dang

[haughty crest]

how small is your school wtf

isnt it top 6% for UT

[near geode]

rank 3 and not top 6%?

[autumn kiln]

I used to be confident I’d get into ucla/berk bc of previous people but idts anymore

[haughty crest]

also hi kvd

[dusky tusk]

last year when they did the rankings like 1,1,1, 4 rather than 1,1,1, 2,2, 3 which they do now, the person who was rank 4 (salutatorian) got capped

[haughty crest]

nah manifest

[near geode]

i remember seeing some vids on yt where their school doesnt really do rank

and the counselor just said if u got 4.0 ur rank 1

[dusky tusk]

class size <45

[autumn kiln]

Oh wow

[haughty crest]

holy shit

[near geode]

everyone put rank 1 on their common app and got in

[autumn kiln]

Nah bc even last year

[dusky tusk]

sal fr went to utd

[autumn kiln]

We had a girl get into ucla w a 3.4 and a guy with a 3.0

And a bunch of 4.0+ got rejected/wl

[uneven crag]

where did val go

[dusky tusk]

tf

[autumn kiln]

Dang really???

[near geode]

my school has 2.3 gpa 1100 sat ucla

like 2 years ago

[autumn kiln]

Athlete

[haughty crest]

wtf

that's crazy

[dusky tusk]

we had 3 tied vals during app time lol but then it became 2 by graduation. one went mcgill, one went ut the one that dropped went to ut

[plucky lake]

That's what we do at our school since we don't do weighted

[autumn kiln]

Idt they want just 4.0+ people anymore 😭

[dusky tusk]

we had good acceptances last year but the only t20 that someone actually ended up choosing was berkeley met

[near geode]

my school doesnt do weighted either but putting rank 1 is crazy for 4.0

[dusky tusk]

all the other t20/t30 admits went to UT

[uneven crag]

how many t20 admits does your school have tf

[haughty crest]

</3

[dusky tusk]

i sent this years acceptance profile for only the EA round so far

scroll up a lil

[haughty crest]

manifesting for you tho queen

[plucky lake]

Well I've studied in two high schools and in the former I was indeed rank 1

But my counselor said it's alright

[uneven crag]

too lazy

[plucky lake]

So I just went ahead

[haughty crest]

goddamn

[near geode]

grats to you

[dusky tusk]

here u go

@uneven crag

[uneven crag]

thanks!

[autumn kiln]

Ty 🫶 I’m really manifesting Penn bc I want to get my teacher a Penn flag since he’s from Philly 😭

[plucky lake]

Aww

[haughty crest]

future penn girlie

[dusky tusk]

wearing my penn shirt rn

[haughty crest]

they want you

[uneven crag]

are you the only gtown

[autumn kiln]

Hoping I love them sm

[autumn kiln]

Wharton will be begging dw

[plucky lake]

Also what do you guys think is the worst ivy academically

[chilly thunder]

what'd u apply as

[dusky tusk]

first in the schools history 😤

[haughty crest]

we up !!

[dusky tusk]

ill be begging them

[uneven crag]

him

[chilly thunder]

ball state?

idk

[haughty crest]

my teacher shits on cornell so much

[chilly thunder]

grade-wise it's def probably princeton

[cobalt rampart]

yes there was a yr in my sciool where not a single person got into fsu

[haughty crest]

he was scolding people for applying

(he went there)

[autumn kiln]

Cas

[dusky tusk]

(its not impressive when only like 30 total applicants)

[plucky lake]

Darty or Harvard??? (Harv cuz grade inflation)

[chilly thunder]

i think it would be princeton cuz of deflation

[dusky tusk]

brown

[chilly thunder]

lmao

[uneven crag]

gtown still rlly hard to get into bruh

[autumn kiln]

Yeah I heard fsu is getting really hard

[uneven crag]

dartmouth

[chilly thunder]

if we measure academics by gpa

[plucky lake]

Isn't the inflation at Harvard much worse than deflation at Pton

[chilly thunder]

which is really what employers and future phd programs care about

[dusky tusk]

harvard inflation is absurd

[chilly thunder]

then like

deflation is worse than inflation

[dusky tusk]

getting into harvard is the insanely hard part. once ur in they make sure u do well and graduate

[cobalt rampart]

a bunch of ppl gor deferred this time in my school

[autumn kiln]

Same thing happened to my cousin

[uneven crag]

im literally gonna get into harvard

[chilly thunder]

cuz a harvard 4.0 is probably better than a princeton 2.9

lmao

[plucky lake]

Idk why Columbia is never brought up in this convo

[uneven crag]

princeton deflation isnt THAT bad and its gotten much better recently

[chilly thunder]

idk anything about columbia inflation/deflation

[dusky tusk]

my goal is to have a 3.8+ anywhere but if its harvard then prob even higher bc harvard grade inflation is insane

[plucky lake]

Afaik a sizeable portion of Columbia's student body has problems with the Core and scheduling

[chilly thunder]

i just know princeton deflation is insane

[dusky tusk]

is 3.8 reasonable?

i know stanford goes up to 4.2 or sum lmao

[plucky lake]

But Princeton has this really cool precept system

Obvi other schools have it

[chilly thunder]

the average gpa there is like 3.6

[plucky lake]

But Princeton has a really good one

So you can somewhat(at least partially) combat the deflation?

[chilly thunder]

the average at uh harvard is like

3.85 i wanna say?

from what i remember

not 100% sure

[uneven crag]

hm

[chilly thunder]

its increased since 2022

[autumn kiln]

If you’re aiming for grad schools, a lot account for the grade deflation

[uneven crag]

idk i just rmr princeton students telling me historically deflation was bad but its not AS bad anymore but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist

[plucky lake]

What ivies did y'all not apply to and why?

Like some peeps really seem to hate Pton and some really hate harv

[uneven crag]

dartmouth cuz my dad said i needed more safeties

[plucky lake]

Aha

[haughty crest]

dartmouth, cornell, columbia, penn

not particularly good chem programs :p

like compared to UT at least

[plucky lake]

I didn't apply to
Columbia because core curriculum, middle of nyc, and small and scattered campus

Cornell because I went for Duke instead(ran out of CA slots). And also the location isn't ideal, didn't like the general vibe
But they have really good particle physics so wish I did apply

[autumn kiln]

Cornell (Ithaca - my dad said he wouldn’t pay for me at all), Princeton (not ideal for premed), Columbia (not an nyc person and I didn’t like the core)

[haughty crest]

SO REAL

[plucky lake]

Hmm pretty similar reasons as mine

[haughty crest]

i think penn is a bit too compeeitive altho good chem

[pale rain]

dart cause too far and my school doesn't want us applying to all 8 ivies

[haughty crest]

the not nyc person part is so real

[pale rain]

oh im applying for chem too!

[autumn kiln]

I was overwhelmed asf

[haughty crest]

AYEEEEE

im biochem :D

[pale rain]

oh im just regular chem haha

[haughty crest]

but chem where they dont have it

[autumn kiln]

Same!

[haughty crest]

OMGGGG

IVE FOUND MY PEOPLE

[plucky lake]

The only thing I liked abt columbia is their library

[pale rain]

i dont like bio 💀

[plucky lake]

And maybe their color

[haughty crest]

LOL fair

[autumn kiln]

I love bio and chem sm so Biochem!!

[haughty crest]

i like chem more than bio but like both

[pale rain]

im more of a chem and physics person so i just went with chem

[haughty crest]

oohhh fair

mad respect for physics/chem people

props

[pale rain]

i think bio is cool i just dont think i had the best teacher plus i took it during covid year

so maybe ill try again in college lol

[visual crypt]

[plucky lake]

The only thing unique abt mine is that I didn't apply to Caltech MIT or Cornell being a Physics major and rather applied to Vandy and Rice

[worthy bolt]

I misjudged rice

I didn’t know it was so stem heavy

[unborn fractal]

Mich, USC, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, NYU, Princeton, Stanford, UNC, Penn, Yale

[near geode]

my school got 1 rice admit out of 100

[dusky tusk]

Hi Yalies

[uneven crag]

[worn folio]

[plucky lake]

Rice has surprisingly good social sciences iirc
And it's one of the only schools to have a great sports analytics major

[unborn fractal]

Oh

[near geode]

prospective yalies

[unborn fractal]

nah stop its all random

[plucky lake]

But yeah it is stem heavy

[pale rain]

[near geode]

[pale rain]

uhh let me check

[pale rain]

me

[uneven crag]

me

[dusky tusk]

I think UT has some sports program

[plucky lake]

me

[worn folio]

Oh damn

If you don’t mind, can I ask for the outcomes results that already happened?

[dusky tusk]

One of my majors was

[plucky lake]

Yeah but rice's one is top notch

[dusky tusk]

I kinda hinted at a double major

[potent peak]

u haven't committed and got this alr

[plucky lake]

Someone tell Rutgers to give their portal an icon

[potent peak]

princeton preview where

[plucky lake]

How many of you use dark mode on pc

[worn folio]

Man so many rd apps bro

I only applied to four rd’s and none of them are ivies frfr

[worn folio]

I dark mode everywhere

[gloomy sorrel]

anyone here get a likely?

[visual crypt]

yes sir

[plucky lake]

Yeah about 4 peeps

[visual crypt]

i dont think I can commit yet>

?

[plucky lake]

Or more

[pale rain]

i dont know where im supposed to be looking but no and also would it give me that option even though i havent committed???

[gloomy sorrel]

damnn

[visual crypt]

can you even commit to a likely?

[potent peak]

i mean like

they're so assuring

I hear 0 word from Princeton preview

dafuq

[visual crypt]

ohh

thats mad weird

[uneven crag]

idk for some reason i can

idk a lot of ppl that applied

[visual crypt]

you committed and they being stingy : (

[potent peak]

i haven't committed

i'm still beefing with their fin aid department

[pale rain]

huh weird but i might also just be looking at the wrong place

[uneven crag]

they said registration opens in the spring

[potent peak]

yeah and that's it

[visual crypt]

ohh

its bad?

[potent peak]

not really

[uneven crag]

yale and princeton prob dont have the same timeline

[potent peak]

just not what I expected

[visual crypt]

hmmm

interesting

[uneven crag]

like ive heard no one getting a princeton likely yet but a bunch got yale likelies

[visual crypt]

how far off was it from your net price calculator

[visual crypt]

princeton does likelies?

[potent peak]

i can't rely on it since im intl

[visual crypt]

ohh valid

damn intl bagging princeton good shit!!!

[uneven crag]

last year they did

[weak root]

i dont think pton sends out likelies but thats j anecdotal

[uneven crag]

last year they did idk ab this year

[near geode]

i recently found out uva did likelies back in 2005

[willow fiber]

my loci is 570 words, should i cut it down even more

[worthy bolt]

mine was 200

[autumn kiln]

Yale please give me an interview 🙏

[rose vale]

What state are y

U*

Maybe they don’t need additonal in for for u

[autumn kiln]

Ca

[rose vale]

Info*

Oh…

[autumn kiln]

Yeah idt they want me 💀

[rose vale]

did u get interview

For other schools?

[autumn kiln]

Someone in the town 20 mins from me got one

[autumn kiln]

Yeah

[rose vale]

then u should be good

[autumn kiln]

We haven’t had a Yale acceptance ever…

[rose vale]

Ya

Neither my school

🦫

[autumn kiln]

Gg for me 😭 did you get an interview

[rose vale]

Ya

[autumn kiln]

W

[near geode]

we both in cali, we both have no interviews 😭

norcal or socal

[wind pagoda]

how important are yale interviews

i got one from all of hypsm except yale

[weak root]

anyone wanna essay trade
j bored and curious to see what ppl wrote

[weak root]

they only interview ppl they need more info from

[autumn kiln]

NorCal

[near geode]

norcal is tough, all the cracked bay kids 😭

im in socal havent heard anyone getting one

[crisp oyster]

i got one and ik one other

[near geode]

woohoo congrats to you and the other person! which region Im curious - orange county, la county or sd?

[crisp oyster]

i dont know about celebrations yet 😭 we're both here after our ed deferrals

feel like oc prob has had some interviews too

[near geode]

did you feel the interview had major impact on ur app or was it something else

[near geode]

yep, that makes sense

im guessing todays last day to get interview, wish all of us luck 🙏

[crisp oyster]

its supposedly last day for assignments

interviews can still go on

till march

[near geode]

chances would be slim

[crisp oyster]

depends on ur regional alumni prob

[near geode]

unless its one of them whos lazy and send out like 5 days before

[crisp oyster]

i cant tell yet

my ed was brown and there was no interview

as for the alumni i got for the yale interview he was really sweet

[near geode]

good stuff

do hear most of them are sweet which is nice

[crisp oyster]

but i think unless u get unlucky or irk ur interviewer, reports should be neutral at worst, mainly positive ?

i hope

i do think long term interviewers who constantly write positive reports might hold less weight

[crisp oyster]

LOL i believe it can happen

[near geode]

me here looking at yt vids and seeing ppl read their admissions file where there interviewer said no interest whatever in school or major...

i think my lors are the weakest

[crisp oyster]

my interviewer had something come up the first time we were supposed to meet

but didnt notify me

abt it

they have lives so

fingers crossed i hope u get one

[crisp oyster]

💀 oh shoot really

UHM

[near geode]

ty, hope you get into one of ur top choices

[near geode]

wel they did get in so maybe its like neutral like you said

[crisp oyster]

i believe in my interviewer

my own writing and stats less so

[crisp oyster]

aww thank u

u too!

[near geode]

trust 🙏

[crisp oyster]

what's ur top choice or choices?

[near geode]

nyu, cmu, yale

have quite a bit but maybe yale is like top top in past week

[crisp oyster]

👀 stem?

[near geode]

yep cs

wbu

[crisp oyster]

woah

architecture + visual arts

[near geode]

oo architecture

[crisp oyster]

idk about bach in arts for architecture yet tho

[near geode]

seems cool

[crisp oyster]

so i'll prob explore a bit

mhm

tbh 💀it made the most sense for my portfolio

that was all

[near geode]

portfolio is interesting

because i dont remember do they admit by major or no?

[crisp oyster]

supposedly no

but they prob do lean stem

a bit to strengthen

their department

[near geode]

yea that makes most sense

[crisp oyster]

but i heard a quarter or so of yale graduates end up in finance/consulting anyways

[near geode]

since yale is like top for business is it possible to transfer in there?

[crisp oyster]

possible to transfer yea ofc

might be a bit hard tho

wait yale's a top for business?

in new haven 😭

[near geode]

is it not 😭

[crisp oyster]

i believe it

i just never thought that before

i've always heard stanny berk wharton and mit

r u looking into business?

[near geode]

ok maybe business isnt as high as I thought

[near geode]

maybe if I struggle in cs

ok its #1 for econ

[crisp oyster]

i like how u're making plan b already

[near geode]

which I completely hate right now

[near geode]

i dont wanna be an uber driver in 2025

😭

ig reels scare me

[crisp oyster]

😭

i always see reels of drivers filming themselves picking up orders

or bicyclist for this one case

that reminds me of the harvard essay about a conversation with an uber driver

[near geode]

cant relate didnt apply harvard :(

[crisp oyster]

twins!!

[near geode]

🤍

[crisp oyster]

i only applied brown risd and yale for oos

[spice thorn]

Did anyone from the Middle East and North Africa get an interview for Harvard or Yale yet?

[frosty parcel]

Anyone get one from South Asia?

[plucky lake]

Nope

[bleak prism]

Nah I give all of mine funny nicknames

[spice thorn]

why isnt yale assigining intervviews to middle eastern applicants this is such bs

[bleak prism]

just chill

dont worry

what happens happens its out of your hands

[spice thorn]

yale usually only admits people who they interviewed and i personally know 8 qualified people from my hs who applied and 0 got an interview which is scary

ik its based on availability but yale pre screens like crazy and no interview is a rejection in most cases

[bleak prism]

just chill

people get in without one

you cant stress over this lol

[teal tusk]

why so? dartmouth is t5 in undergrad teaching rankings

[worthy bolt]

this isn’t true at all dw

[teal tusk]

^

[spice thorn]

People say it might be a 50/50 thing for Harvard but apparently everyone says that Yale pre screens and they don’t hide it so I got scared

[teal tusk]

if yale needs more information about you they will send an interviewer to you any time before ivy day

[bleak prism]

Anyone see that Reddit post that someone made talking about how crap they feel being deferred from Yale

[teal tusk]

thats all getting an interview means... they just need more info on ur app

[teal tusk]

no

[bleak prism]

their whole post history talked about that deferral

😭 it’s not that deep

especially wanting to withdraw your app is not a good move

you just gotta move on

[spice thorn]

Usually they reserve interviews for top 20-30% of applicants according to some posts I’ve seen.

[bleak prism]

They prob need more info but I imagine the pre screening is a basic screen for grades

[teal tusk]

theres literally no reliable source saying that whatsoever

[spice thorn]

ahh okay ty guys

[visual crypt]

nah thats so fr tho

life goes on

all you can do is your best

[low condor]

Oh excuse me it's like a bit late for me to ask but can I take a look at some of your essays pls?

[visual crypt]

yeah of course! :)

[low condor]

Tsymm!!!

[bleak prism]

Yeah like I’m not going to lie seeing the deferral was hard for me but you gotta move on. Hopefully it doesn’t mean it’s over.

Btw what are your remaining decisions?

[visual crypt]

it's not over until it's over

[visual crypt]

omg so many

[bleak prism]

oh which ones?

[visual crypt]

sorry I was pulling up my list then I got sidetracked

ready

BU, cwru (deferred EA), brandeis, washu in st louis, emory, NYU, tulane (deferred EA), tufts, harvard, northwestern, JHU, cornell, duke, and princeton

if I'm being honest I regret applying to so many at times...

but then again I really wanted to get good financial aid so I applied broadly

and most my places meet 100% of need

except BU which doesn't give aid to undocumented students 😭

I should withdraw but I have a sliver of hope they might? give me something

[halcyon hull]

Do not doubt yourself! You are fantastic, Yale wont gave stupid ppl any likely letters! trust yourself and trust the committee!

Be confident!!! You deserve the acceptance!!!

[rose vale]

[warm musk]

Do they normally send it in the morning or is there not a trend

Maybe during office hours of the admission office?

[visual crypt]

yeah I think office hours

I received mine at 11am

[warm musk]

Looks like my chances are dwindling from near zero to zero

😭

[visual crypt]

CHILL

over 90% of those who get in don't get a likely

[cobalt rampart]

Meee

[bleak prism]

i wasn’t supposed to open until after ivy day on april 1st

but i couldnt resist after this decision😭

[surreal merlin]

Does Yale show how many ppl it has accepted from each country

[near geode]

Wish I wrote one at start of college apps too

do have one my teachers gonna email to me during graduation from 8th grade 😭

where do you see yourself in 5 years hittin hard

[surreal merlin]

nope only princeton

[dusky tusk]

I did a futurme send from like august

Shit was not wholesome at all

It was just my college list

And i asked myself for updated results and if i got into an ivy 💀

[bleak prism]

i wrote one in 9th grade for my college access program 💀

[tidal cedar]

Its 14 percent

Ivy spinner wheel type beat

[bleak prism]

I read it and man it reminded me of so much

[rugged chasm]

weird

[bleak prism]

what I loved about the letter was that younger me had the exact same goal: to do as well as she could in hs and go to a good school. But at the same time a lot of the letter focused on not being discouraged by decisions

Definitely think people should do smth like this

felt like a time capsule

[dusky tusk]

i kinda forgot what else i wrote in mine

ig we will see in april

[potent peak]

This is oot but did you get paid to go to bulldog days?

[visual crypt]

hmm they’ll pay for transportation if you need it

but you don’t get like money money for it

[noble steppe]

bro thinks it a job

[noble steppe]

only for domestic students (intls on finaid don't get anything)

[visual crypt]

ohh that sucks

[potent peak]

Shit that’s what’s going on for princeton preview as well

I thought yale would do better

[visual crypt]

unfortunately not

sorry intl yalies

[fallen moon]

its yaleover guys i got no interview

[autumn kiln]

Same :(

[white dagger]

its not joever yet!

u may get late interviews

[fallen moon]

which is good?

or does it not matter

[signal sand]

theyre still sending them out btw

[fallen moon]

omg how do you knoow

[signal sand]

i had a friend who got one yesterday

like the email

and a friend of a friend like three days ago

[fallen moon]

uh yeah

but the deadline was today

so we probably aren't gonna get requests now

[signal sand]

wait does harvard have a deadline

[fallen moon]

idk

but yale's is this

[signal sand]

oh thats makes sense my friend who got hte email got it at like 11:20 PM

maybe ur alumni got like

procrastinated and hes working it out

[weak root]

this happened to me lmao

i got a request like jan 27 but my interviewer procastinated until last week

[signal sand]

yeah exactly keep ur head up fr

[fallen moon]

hey but if i suddenly get an interview now i'm gonna be so happy

because i've generally heard late interviews are a good sign

and i genuinely don't think i was bad enough to just not get one (delulu)

[signal sand]

wait why

[signal sand]

yeah my friend who got into harvard didnt get his interview until like start of december end of novemeber

[fallen moon]

i dont actually know but i'd guess because they're last minute it means that the AOs went out of their way to get you one which means they're pretty interested

[signal sand]

ah ok

thats interesting

[fallen moon]

idk though thats just my logic

[signal sand]

i know a guy who got 2 harvard interviews and hes stressing bc like

[fallen moon]

i have no real reason

oh thats like

he's in or something

was the 2nd person an AO

[signal sand]

that means they liked him enough for the first but didnt like him bc of the first so now theyre using the interview to decide whether or not to keep him

[signal sand]

at least thats what i read

[signal sand]

siuuuu

[halcyon hull]

omg is Yale going to test required next year?

[signal sand]

do you pay for bloom berg

bloomberg

i pay for WSJ but im thinking of switching

[halcyon hull]

Nooo, this screenshot is from my school teacher

Lol

[signal sand]

oh ok

[low condor]

I DO THESE FUTURE LETTERS TOOOO

There's a website called futureme and I've been sending myself letters ever since 10th grade

[noble steppe]

ehh tbf international flights r mad expensive

[potent peak]

ik

it costs 1k for me to fly to the US

[noble steppe]

should move to the uk fr like half price

[potent peak]

If only i could 😭

[visual glen]

Its Yalover

[valid compass]

could i dm you once

[hollow light]

Do likelies go out to non-STEM people too?

[rose vale]

Yes

[hollow light]

Ah okay

Anyone on server got interviews from south asia for yale?

[signal sand]

I think all likelies already went out

[rose vale]

ya I think so too

[potent peak]

Why are we putting our hopes so up

[sly lake]

didnt get one, is it over guys?

[rose vale]

actually I haven’t seen much non-stem likely

[cobalt rampart]

dame

[potent peak]

I’m grateful for even getting a waitlist

[cobalt rampart]

thatsbwhy im like ?

[rose vale]

idk

People would have posted if they got one yeserday

[cobalt rampart]

well ig non stem are less likely to be on reddit

[rose vale]

in the past they had always posted

[cobalt rampart]

true

[sly lake]

is waitlist like a lottery or is it ranked

[rose vale]

wait where did u see it was Thursday

[hollow light]

I thought they send throughout feb?

[cobalt rampart]

just historically

[rose vale]

but where

[cobalt rampart]

like usually ive seen that its batches only 1 day 1 wk apart

[hollow light]

and that it was mainly aimed at recruited athletes + STEM students from the yale podcast

[cobalt rampart]

past reddit/cc threads

but this time it was weird

bc it was rolling

[rose vale]

Send link!!!

I wannna see too

[frosty parcel]

Not yet

[cosmic geyser]

yall.

stop worrying about likelies

if u get one, good for u! its a great surprise. if u dont, STOP WORRYING LITERALLY NOBODY GETS ONE

mods should sticky this message

[noble steppe]

fwiw yale does YES likelies earlier

[plucky lake]

(1) wright lab! omg imagine having a dark matter research center open to undergrads like fr it's everything I've been obsessed with abt astrophysics (2) residential colleges and tyng cup: gives me Hogwarts vibes ngl. (3) handsome Dan! Such a cute guy (4) how academically diverse the student body is. for real, I come from a school that's entirely STEM(zero humanities or social sciences courses. yup, you heard me right) so this is so so cool abt yale (5) yale's campus facilities, clubs, and orgs give me the feeling that there's something to cater to every niche interest of every single student... and that's great

[marble pier]

i got one

[bleak prism]

ok

[potent peak]

[valid compass]

hi newbie!

[marble pier]

Dont say nobody gets them, when clearly people get them as thats why people talk about them

[valid compass]

[valid compass]

that was a hyperbole 💀

it's just rare uc

[bleak prism]

do you not see what she is saying

they're rare

she didnt mean no one gets them

[marble pier]

"STOP WORRYING LITERALLY NOBODY GETS ONE"

[potent peak]

bro u got in

[bleak prism]

🙄

[potent peak]

why u beefin with this one sentence

[bleak prism]

my goodness

[valid compass]

[potent peak]

stfu and take the W

[bleak prism]

it doesnt take much to realize what she was saying

[cosmic geyser]

its an exaggeration

[valid compass]

this person joined and chose violence bahaha

[potent peak]

[bleak prism]

[cosmic geyser]

must be hard to understand basic sentences huh

[potent peak]

and get into Yale

[cosmic geyser]

[marble pier]

literally nobody is not an ambigous sentence.

[cosmic geyser]

bro got shot 3 times.

cmon JOSHUA

[potent peak]

there's many things to do other than confronting ppl who are really waiting for likelies

like touching grass

[valid compass]

congratulations btw!!

big W

[bleak prism]

its like waiting to win the lottery

😂

[valid compass]

fr

[potent peak]

[cosmic geyser]

[bleak prism]

[marble pier]

[bleak prism]

good luck with life

[potent peak]

are u intl or domestic?

[marble pier]

domestic

[potent peak]

mm

ok

cool

[raw ravine]

Ok but people are so worried over getting one like it's gonna define their chances of getting in and it's not, we recognize your achievement but for others it shouldn't make them feel discouraged

[cosmic geyser]

thanks for backing me bestie

[valid compass]

oh also stem major?

[cosmic geyser]

ok

[marble pier]

CS

[valid compass]

nice

[marble pier]

+psychology

one of the. two in one majors

[potent peak]

still stem

[valid compass]

nah when did this happen? oxford is way different than us colleges buddy

in terms of admissions

[cosmic geyser]

ohhh.

[marble pier]

dont they only send out stem likelys

or atheletes

[potent peak]

um

[spice willow]

No

[potent peak]

according to ppl here no

[cosmic geyser]

still think you're cracked though

[cosmic geyser]

no.

[spice willow]

Stem, athletes, non stem

[marble pier]

stem and athletes

they dont send many non stem

[visual glen]

Ya

[spice willow]

Non stem

[cosmic geyser]

they have stem (YES), athletes and non stem/athletes

[marble pier]

they probably send single digit non stem ones

[spice willow]

I mean they don’t send many likely letters in general, but they do send non stem

[valid compass]

good enough! wait for the rd decision and see the truth unfold

[potent peak]

i'm waiting for an athlete likely bcs I am a keyboard athlete

[spice willow]

Some STEM don’t get YES as well

[marble pier]

they send about 200 STEM I believe

[cosmic geyser]

bertha i am scared

[spice willow]

No

[potent peak]

are u guys related

the obamas

[cosmic geyser]

i think mosaic (vandy) is coming out today

[spice willow]

That’s the number of likelies they send in total @marble pier

Not specifically STEM

[marble pier]

I dont think so

[bleak prism]

they are related to me

[spice willow]

That’s what they said in the podcast

They send roughly 200 likelies

[potent peak]

yall related irl?

[bleak prism]

no im jokin

idk

[marble pier]

they have over 200 athletes a year, so that doesn't make sense ❓

[potent peak]

didn't some like

get in early

idk

[cosmic geyser]

no

[bleak prism]

just be happy you got one

[cosmic geyser]

i didnt think my message was hard to understand america 😭

[spice willow]

This episode was about the non athletic ones btw

[potent peak]

hm

[spice willow]

They said they weren’t taking about the athletic ones

Be nice

Just talk about something rlse

[cosmic geyser]

sorry bertha

[spice willow]

Godbless

[visual glen]

Chill guys

[spice willow]

Athletes aren’t in the same category do you get me

They weren’t discussing them in that episode because it’s a different process

[potent peak]

he just joined and started beefin with the community

[marble pier]

oh then yeah that makes sense

[cosmic geyser]

so how has your day been

[marble pier]

i believe YES is about 100 or so people

[valid compass]

btw im a little curious about your early decisions?

just wondering

[marble pier]

i got into mich, gtech and uiuc (cs+x), got straight rejected from unc

Gotta love the yale stem pipepline

[valid compass]

oh interesting

so is yale the first choice?

[marble pier]

i think i can land MIT or stanford, but other than those yeah

[valid compass]

cool

[cosmic geyser]

i wonder how yale is for stem

i only rlly hear ab their humanities majors tbh, maybe their stem programs are hidden gems

[visual glen]

I heard theyre good ngl

Not sure about the cs

But should be fine

[spice willow]

Despite what a2c says they’re not ass at STEM

Then again STEM for a2c = engineering and comp sci lmao

[cosmic geyser]

yeah a2c is wrong about a LOT of things

[spice willow]

Justice for bio majors

[plucky lake]

Why is this so accurate

[cosmic geyser]

yale bio is killer

[plucky lake]

Yale physics is cracked too

Great profs

[spice willow]

One person said yale was so and so and then everyone regurgitated it like a dying fish

[plucky lake]

Maybe not as cracked as the big 7 for physics

[spice willow]

Those are fake stem you don’t get it

!!!

[plucky lake]

But definitely a strong number 8

[marble pier]

You wont get resume rejected because yales on ur resume lol

[spice willow]

No you don’t get it, do CS at Yale and you’ll be a broke bum smh 🤦‍♂️ !!!

[valid compass]

all ik is that they send these stem liklies to kinda strengthen their stem depts

[plucky lake]

Like someone said Purdue was T10 STEM the other day

[cosmic geyser]
