Yale University (2023-2024)

[cosmic geyser]

its pretty good

[plucky lake]

Yeah, you'll be studying political science and humanities in digital architecture class!!!

[plucky lake]

Yeah but defo not T10

[cosmic geyser]

the confidence is there

[cosmic geyser]

idk enough ab purdue cs/eng but i've heard great things

[plucky lake]

Not strong enough natural sciences for T10

Engineering/CS is great tho

But for STEM overall

[cosmic geyser]

u could say its a t20 cs department without everyone arguing tbh

[plucky lake]

Not T10

[spice willow]

No instigation, no fighting !

[cosmic geyser]

can i just say that seeing my messages deleted in real time is a MOOD😂

[valid compass]

i actually loved it

i was spreading peace

[cosmic geyser]

luck was caught in the crossfire

[valid compass]

and stuff gets deleted lol

[bleak prism]

are they a troll?

cause

[plucky lake]

To restore global peace let's celebrate pigs

[bleak prism]

?? what is this lol

[valid compass]

oh that wasn't a pig mb

[bleak prism]

i bet these messages will be deleted for spam

[plucky lake]

Hmm

Idk they were cute

But yeah might get deleted

[rustic silo]

i heard yale cs was just strange not bad

[noble steppe]

athletes dont really get likelies

they nearly always apply REA and there are no likelies in that round

generally they get verbal confirmation beforehand

so cracked, quantum computing stuff is rly rly good

one of my friends who does research in that field just bagged stanford PhD 🔛🔝

[noble steppe]

cs intro courses are kinda mid (esp 201) but the department has been hiring like crazy so there's a good range of electives

[spice pine]

How is mech e

[visual crypt]

💀💀

did u come here just to shit talk😭😭

[delicate jolt]

bitch tf

[valid compass]

im pretty sure they were just trolling lmao

[delicate jolt]

bro is feeding off of my anxiety

[visual crypt]

oh my bad then

sorry

[noble steppe]

it's fine, mech e has an ABET option which is nice. the department is pretty small though so you won't have as many research/class options than at big state™️

as with many fields it is not where yale is best, if you just wanna grind mech e yale probably isn't the place for u

[spice pine]

Good insight thnx

[rustic silo]

shouldn’t you be in the yale admit discord 🫢

[unborn fractal]

yeah call the liars out 🙏🙏

[weak steeple]

yeah call the liars out fr

[marble pier]

Likelys don’t get discord access yet

[rustic silo]

yeah they do lol

@visual crypt is in it with me

[marble pier]

Cap because I haven’t gotten a email address

[rustic silo]

[marble pier]

Lemme check den

[neon sedge]

He did we all saw it 👀

[rustic silo]

[marble pier]

Email to schedule call

[rustic silo]

[marble pier]

Oh yeah I gotta verify

[marble pier]

Cs + psych

[rustic silo]

[weak root]

Def got u the likely lol

[bleak prism]

Fr

[rustic silo]

one of my friends is an IMO kid last year who mopped

he’s at mit now

[weak root]

Being an imo kid more impressive than mopping tho😭

Imo is crazy

All imoers mop but not all moppers imo

[dusky tusk]

Most likely reject at both

[weak root]

LMFAO

[rustic silo]

why bro 😭

[dusky tusk]

No one sweeps hyp most dont even get 1

[rustic silo]

well i’m 1/3 so far. hoping for 2/3 lol

[dusky tusk]

Keep hoping

[rustic silo]

and i know many kids who sweep 2

[rose vale]

💀

[teal tusk]

[dusky tusk]

Dawg 💀

[teal tusk]

joking

[dusky tusk]

[dusky tusk]

You over mrs mason

[rose vale]

Ya

[rustic silo]

[dusky tusk]

Yea lmao thats a very very small pop

[dusky tusk]

Being too fucking successful

Shits pissing me off

[rose vale]

Most don’t even get 1/3

[dusky tusk]

Exactly

[rose vale]

Or 1/8

[dusky tusk]

Exactly

Even getting into a t20

[teal tusk]

i think the only hypsm i have a chance at is stanford

[dusky tusk]

Nah ur confirmed mit

[rose vale]

and dez

[rustic silo]

i saw 8 essays and didn’t apply LMAO

[teal tusk]

and idt that chance is high

[dusky tusk]

5 were short answer

[teal tusk]

didnt apply 😭

[dusky tusk]

3 were reusable for harvard and duke

Also stanford is my #2

Would be a dream to get in

[rustic silo]

according to my dad duke is mid unfortunately

[dusky tusk]

Your dad is drunk and high

[rose vale]

Duke is amazing

[rustic silo]

nah he just doesn’t care abt anything other than hypsm

[rose vale]

It’s like UvA but better

[dusky tusk]

I would go to duke over yale

Duke better for ib

[rose vale]

did u guys apply to northwestern

[rustic silo]

no

[teal tusk]

whats 1

[rose vale]

I feel like harvard

[dusky tusk]

Guess

[rose vale]

Harvard

[teal tusk]

harvard

[dusky tusk]

No harvard is 3

[teal tusk]

penn

[rose vale]

[rustic silo]

upenn is also mid for my parents 😭

[dusky tusk]

Wtf is a coloring sheet 🔥🔥🔥

[dusky tusk]

Yo parents lowk need an eye opening

[rose vale]

[dusky tusk]

Who tf they think they are 💀

[rustic silo]

[dusky tusk]

[teal tusk]

my parents want me to go to columbia

[rustic silo]

[rose vale]

[teal tusk]

[rose vale]

OOOO

MY MOM wants me to pick everything over Columbia

[teal tusk]

my dad doesnt think i like stanford and only wanna go bc he did

[rustic silo]

my mom said she would force me to go to harvard if i got in LMAO

[rose vale]

DO U LIKE STANFORD

if u do then good

[rustic silo]

“it sounds better” bruh

[rose vale]

ya

it does

harvard

[dusky tusk]

Forgot ur a legacy

[rose vale]

So rich

[teal tusk]

idk if its a huge like but i dont wanan go to the east

[rose vale]

East coast best coast

[dusky tusk]

R ur parents ivy league admit

[rose vale]

AHHHH

[teal tusk]

tbh idt legacy did much 😭😭

[rose vale]

i didn’t apply to nyu

I forgot

[rose vale]

Wait where else are u legacy at

Beside stanford

[teal tusk]

bris decision was a tragedy

[dusky tusk]

Diversity?

[teal tusk]

nowhere

[weak root]

Legacy deadass doesnt do anything unless ur donating heaps or u have a current sib there

[rose vale]

Legacy helps

Actually

[weak root]

Cuz if u have a sib who got in during recent years, high chance readers could recognize u

[dusky tusk]

Nah legacy does wonders

[teal tusk]

they have a rating system for legacy

[weak root]

It does but like not in comparison to the people who donate heaps

[dusky tusk]

Stanford just blacklisted bri family

[teal tusk]

1-5 apparently

[rose vale]

Actually a lot of legacy who donmt donate

Get in

[teal tusk]

at least according to some rando who dmed me

[weak root]

Yeah but thats prob cuz they were qualified otherwise

[rose vale]

ahhhh

bro

i should apply to scholarships

And chill until then

[weak root]

If ur leg and dont donate it helps cuz third reader but u have to pull ur own weight more than ppl who donate massive amts

[teal tusk]

no idea

[rustic silo]

no they went to NYU 😝

[bleak prism]

Why if you won’t even go?

Didn’t you commit

[bleak prism]

this is me rn

The only results I’ve been getting are scholarships

[rustic silo]

no

[bleak prism]

Why are you a prefrosh then

[rustic silo]

idk i’m evil

[frosty current]

i just had my interview

bro was so awkward 😭

he said cool! after every answer i gave and like thats it, i got one "great example" but i actually dont know if my answers were shit or if he was just awkward

[uneven crag]

how did bro get a yale likely when he cant comprehend basic sarcasm

[bleak prism]

uh

[bleak prism]

my interview for Yale was also pretty awkward, dw

it shouldn’t hold too much weight

[frosty current]

yeah im not too worried it was just a little jarring

[cosmic geyser]

💀

[cosmic geyser]

i didnt even bother applying to any

[spice willow]

no ivies?

oh you mean hypsm

[dusky tusk]

Ye im prolly sweeping that shit on the dl

Didnt bother applying mit

Shit aint good enough for a guy like me

🥱

[worthy bolt]

deferred from umich right? 😉

[marble pier]

getting IMO and not getting mit would be the outliar lol

i think every IMO kid has gotten MIT in the past 5 years except one that had a 2.9 gpa

[marble pier]

the most impressive kid ik got HYSM, he won ISEF

how a junior in high school discovres things in quantam physics i dont know

[rustic silo]

i know a 7/8 ivy sweeper

brown was tweaking

[dusky tusk]

Yield protect

[autumn kiln]

This chat reminds me everyday I don’t have a Yale interview 😭

[neon sedge]

This chat keeps us hopeful and humble

[rose vale]

AND STRESSED

[neon sedge]

Fr.., 🤣

[autumn kiln]

Idk about the first 😭

[neon sedge]

Hopeful until the End… 💪🏼 (1 month + 14 days more)

[autumn kiln]

Jesus Christ not a countdown alr 😭

[marble pier]

i didnt have one either

[autumn kiln]

Congrats on getting in!

[bleak prism]

Ahhh

Couldn’t come fast enough

[spice willow]

real

@bleak prism im probably going to nap before it comes out so that i wake up at like 4:05 pm for it LMAO

[bleak prism]

That sounds so much better than what I’m probably doing 😭😭

I like the napping idea cause you wake up in the middle of the chaos

[spice willow]

Ooh but it might also be bad 4 u

imagine waking up and seeing everyone celebrating in disc

[bleak prism]

I’ll be at work that day but I wanna open it with my twin and fam

😭😭😭

[spice willow]

and u cant go back to sleep because youve slept for a hot minute

[bleak prism]

I think I’ll skip work for ivy day…

[spice willow]

might as well

[bleak prism]

cause I worked when rea decisions came out and I legit couldn’t function

[spice willow]

you'll be too jittery

[bleak prism]

I was so stressed out

[spice willow]

although i am thinking of what my results will be rn

i get extremely stressed day of

[bleak prism]

yeah 😭😭

[spice willow]

like heart in your throat type beat

[bleak prism]

I do too…but legit I am too optimistic. My dreams will be crushed

[autumn kiln]

I get really really stressed the days leading up to it

[bleak prism]

like I need to stop being optimistic

[autumn kiln]

So I wish I didn’t know any decision dates

[autumn kiln]

I need to be more optimistic bro

[rose vale]

BRO

INAM SO SCARED

for Gates scholarship

[spice willow]

im optimistic

[bleak prism]

But yeah I agree it’s such a nasty feeling when ur heart is in your throat

[spice willow]

day of is when the sinking feeling hits

[bleak prism]

You have it good if you aren’t optimistic cause then the acceptance would make you really happy

[spice willow]

most of my decisions are on spring break so 🤡 💀

[autumn kiln]

Aww I get really optimistic day of

[autumn kiln]

Yeah true but I’m depressed asf the days leading up to it

[autumn kiln]

Lucky

[spice willow]

oh im not pessimisitc, the nerves start kicking in

[rose vale]

Wait same

[spice willow]

no it sucks

[north current]

when does it come out again?

[spice willow]

with school i can distract myself

[autumn kiln]

My spring break is in April

[rose vale]

March 1st

[bleak prism]

I was optimistic when I applied but now I’m depressed

[rose vale]

atleast finalists

Come out March 1st

then there are interviews

[bleak prism]

what percentage of finalists are recipients

[north current]

lowkey forgot about gates

[rose vale]

Depends

[autumn kiln]

Ohh

[rose vale]

I think there are 2k semi-finalists rn

So around 700 get finalists

[autumn kiln]

Aww I’m sorry 🫂

[north current]

after submitting the fafsa portion i forgot i even did it

[rose vale]

And 350

Get it

[bleak prism]

😭 it’s ok

[rose vale]

but idk since last year there were 750 gates scholarship

[bleak prism]

I’ll live

[rose vale]

So hopefully!!!

[bleak prism]

dang

But the odds are better than nothing

GL

[rose vale]

ya

Ty

[spice willow]

real

[rose vale]

It’s like getting into a ivy

[spice willow]

likely season doused my fuse BWAHAHA

[rose vale]

35.5k people apply

700 get it

[spice willow]

thank god it's nearing the end

[rose vale]

[bleak prism]

fr 😭😭

and we’re still in likely season

So when those Columbia and Cornell likelies come out

😭😭

[rose vale]

Columbia comes on a single day

[bleak prism]

Happy for you outside crying inside

[rose vale]

last year was March 9tj

[bleak prism]

My app was terrible

I had so many spelling errors 😭😭

[north current]

likely season just confirmed that i was being delulu this whole time

[bleak prism]

Legit ruined my chances

[bleak prism]

Fr

[rose vale]

bro

I switched two Supplementals

[bleak prism]

It took me out of the delusion

[rose vale]

i emailed my AO

[bleak prism]

You’re good as long as they are aware

[rose vale]

and he fixed it

[bleak prism]

Did they respond??

[rose vale]

ya

both AO’s responded

[bronze steeple]

they let people change their supps? 👀

this could be a new strat for turning in essays late

[spice willow]

no

trashywords pasted the wrong supps in the wrong area

so they asked for them to be switched

[uneven crag]

its not over until its over (im going insane)

[bronze steeple]

ohh

[worthy bolt]

Believe me, I tried 😭

[bleak prism]

Why? If you got deferred that’s unnecessary…

[rose vale]

Ya, but they uploaded my pdf of fixed essays

[worthy bolt]

for other schools I uploaded a diff version of a supp

[bronze steeple]

honestly i feel like they might accept it if its within a week of submission but if its a week before decisions ehhh

[worthy bolt]

I emailed them the day after I submitted unfortunately

🤷‍♂️ it’s alright tho, the other version wasn’t horrible

[bronze steeple]

oh really wow i mean that makes sense

[rose vale]

OKAY

[worthy bolt]

I agree, I wasn’t mad

[rose vale]

wait what internships are there

I needa save before college

[bronze steeple]

prob 500-1000 ppl update their essays per cycle so they cant manually change essays for that many ig

[rose vale]

Wait which school

Did y want to change?

[bronze steeple]

oh no we're seeing if they let u change essays after submission (they dont)

[fallen moon]

wait does sibling legacy actually matter

[bronze steeple]

rip possible deadline extension hack 😭

[rose vale]

oh y can’t but they add

[rose vale]

No

[neon sedge]

me too, insane fr… but hopeful

[fallen moon]

rip there goes my chance

[uneven crag]

at some schools it only matters if u apply early

[rose vale]

^

But it’s considered 2nd legacy

[uneven crag]

yeah

[bronze steeple]

i feel like it might (but not by much) because if ur sibling goes to a school theyd wanna accept u for yield

[uneven crag]

its not straight up legacy but itll help a tiny bit

[rose vale]

AHHH

I wanted to see a Reddit post about a humanities likely

this year

[uneven crag]

frick likelys ( i didnt get any )

[fallen moon]

wait y'all think about it like this:

if you get an interview NOW

[uneven crag]

ive been trying not to think ab it bc only the top 10% get those so its not worth worrying

[fallen moon]

you have a good chance

[rose vale]

No

[fallen moon]

because the "deadline" passed

[uneven crag]

meh

[rose vale]

no

[fallen moon]

yes.

[rose vale]

okay so basically

[fallen moon]

trust my delulu words.

[rose vale]

they assign interviews

By the 14

[bronze steeple]

after march 10 yeah otherwise no

[rose vale]

It doesn’t matter if interviewers contact u by the 14th or not

They can contact u feb 28tj

And get in the form by March 1st

That could be a possibility

[fallen moon]

oh okay rip its yaleover guys

[uneven crag]

ohhh assign is like the interviewer gets assigned to you and gets ur email

its not US getting the email

interesting

[fallen moon]

thats what i said like 3 days ago but i got ghosted so i thought i was probs wrong 😭

[uneven crag]

oh i dont think i saw that lmao im not too active

[fallen moon]

nono ur all good

[uneven crag]

yeah that kinda makes sense

kinda eases the anxiety too win win

[rose vale]

Ya

[bronze steeple]

yeah some r lazy or have a bunch so u might not get it until weeks after ur assigned

[rose vale]

ya

[neon sedge]

so it is not Yaleover until March…

[rose vale]

Basically

Until March 1st

[uneven crag]

ITS NOT OVER UNTIL YOU GET YOUR LETTER

someone pin that shit fr

[rose vale]

But ANOTHER THING!!

They try to pair u up by major

[uneven crag]

oh no

[bronze steeple]

i meaaaannn they can request one mid march (ive seen some as late as march 15)

[rose vale]

I applied as economic, politics and ethics all in 1 major and my interviewer somehow had the exact major and was same race as me

And same background

[bronze steeple]

but after the 15th yeah its prolly over

[rose vale]

Ya

Those are if

The AO’s really want it

Like they think ur interesting

[bleak prism]

i need to take a break from this discord

It seems like everyone keeps asking the same questions

And panics over likelies

And not having an interview

[rose vale]

DEF TAKE A BREAK

[neon sedge]

100% redundant

[rose vale]

BUT WETE ALL PANICKING

ABOUT SAME THING

[uneven crag]

yeah i wouldnt blame anyone its a stressful time

these have been the worst weeks of my life just waiting

and theres STILL a month+ left

[bronze steeple]

the same two questions that are asked in this server every day 😂

[worthy bolt]

it’s insane.. the likelies aren’t helping bc im p sure that means they’ve read thru all of our apps alr

[spice willow]

Not possible

Or well

[rose vale]

No

[worthy bolt]

committees ik

[spice willow]

They haven’t done a final decision on most

[rose vale]

no

[worthy bolt]

yeah ik y’all 😭 but like a first read

[rose vale]

likely’s are when a AO nominates a application for a likely

It goes to the dean

[pale rain]

should I email my interviewer again? We were supposed to do the 8th but she cancelled on the 7th. I responded an hour later offering the 20th but she didn’t respond. I sent her a follow up this Monday but still nothing

[rose vale]

to determine if they get one

[worthy bolt]

no I think a likely committee

[uneven crag]

I LOST MY BREATH like my princeton application said my optional uploads were processed last week and im like AAAA THEYRE READING

[rose vale]

no yale said it’s the dean

Search ur up

It*

dean of admissions

[bronze steeple]

also if ur from a really big city (pop. density wise) with lots of competitive applicants u prolly wont get an interview or just get one late

[bleak prism]

Fr

[bleak prism]

Really

[bleak prism]

I might

But legit my schoolwork is so light I have nothing to do

Like life sucks rn

Just waiting for decisions

Not know where you want to go

Or where to go

[bleak prism]

bro deep dived

[worthy bolt]

throwback to my delusional yale era 2023

[worthy bolt]

wait y’all I lied, likelies are for people “who have received an early review”

[rose vale]

GMMM OKAY

[worthy bolt]

so like they might not have gotten to u yet 💀

[rose vale]

idk

I HAVEN’t seen any humaities

[worthy bolt]

more reason not to stress over these

[rose vale]

Like only 2

[marble pier]

i believe how it goes now is your regional AO looks at your app, then nominates you for likely

or move onto next round

[autumn kiln]

I just want an interview 🙏

F tufts too they made me approve myself from my dad’s emails to not give me an interview like hello??

[neon sedge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/I8lICuKnli

[north current]

no fr like just let me interview at least

[spice willow]

Bwahah I had to do the same thing

[visual crypt]

LMFAO I DID

[visual crypt]

<33

[visual crypt]

huh 😭

[visual crypt]

oh but they didn't send me my email the discord is actually public (kinda) 😭

[autumn kiln]

THEY DIDNT GIVE ME ONE THOUGH

[visual crypt]

https://admissions.yale.edu/admits

the discord is actually public 😭

but they take 3 days to verify...

[atomic crystal]

The email also just takes a bit to come so ur fine

Mine got verified pretty fast

[visual crypt]

it didn't take 3 days for you?

[atomic crystal]

Nah

[visual crypt]

should I dm them or something

bro 💀

my boy thinks he got rejected bc he "messed up" his ec hours

college decisions are so random it could be anything

[atomic crystal]

Nah don't worry the mods might just be taking a bit

[visual crypt]

why they trollin 😭

[atomic crystal]

💀 oop the last person they verified was 4 days ago so dwdw

[visual crypt]

ohh okay okay

[worthy bolt]

what does that mean

[visual crypt]

no idea

he said something like it doesn't add up?

i checked it and saw no problem

[worthy bolt]

my hours total to like 45…

[sonic zinc]

Yeah

[pale rain]

anyone? 😭

[visual crypt]

/week?

[pine latch]

That says the 13th and 3 business days

Today is the 15th

That equals 2

[visual crypt]

i know 😭

[worthy bolt]

yes

[visual crypt]

Sona said they received their earlier

[pine latch]

They probably check once or twice a week

And you likely barely missed their last check

[visual crypt]

valid

all good

i'm just happy to be there :>

[pine latch]

I think MIT bots their verification

Idk the exact way it works but I feel like I heard that

I’d assume you just use a discord bot

But most schools don’t care to do that

[visual crypt]

MIT just smarter

(sorry Yale)

[crisp oyster]

feel free to email admissions tbh

[bleak prism]

Mine’s maybe 70

[crisp oyster]

personally i’d wait to see if she gets back to u either the 19th or 20th first

but emailing to get peace of mind is a good idea

i’m curious how come u rescheduled 13 days apart 😭

[worthy bolt]

😭😭

[crisp oyster]

12*

[worthy bolt]

I’m assuming it’s spread out thru the year or it includes fam/work responsibilities

[weak steeple]

where is my yale interview blud

[crisp oyster]

ooo yea i get that

[crisp oyster]

this reminds me, mine was a neuro+poli sci major and never attended an art gallery during his time at yale…

[rose vale]

Really

[crisp oyster]

and i’m an arch+visual arts

YEA

[rose vale]

Dang

I heard they atleast try too

If there are alumi in ur region

[crisp oyster]

i wanted to geek about the exhibits and the british museum

[rose vale]

dang

[crisp oyster]

and he was like i don’t think any of my friends were art majors either

[rose vale]

Okay so

[crisp oyster]

😭

[rose vale]

Like

The person from my school applied rea

And had a last minute interview

Like Dec 3rd

and got in

[crisp oyster]

yea it’s nice if they do

[rose vale]

her interviewer was the exact same major as her

[crisp oyster]

i might’ve set myself up for it tbh with one of my supps

[rose vale]

Oooo

Ya maybe

[crisp oyster]

damn that’s nice

[bleak prism]

Mine was too. But none of my other ones were like that.

But it contributed nothing to the discussion.

[rose vale]

Dang

[bleak prism]

Oh wait

[crisp oyster]

yea i don’t think mine affected much discussions either

[bleak prism]

If you count Cornell

Mine was a public health major

[rose vale]

Ooooo

My stanford was a econ/law same as me

and northwestern too

[bleak prism]

oh that’s so cool!

[rose vale]

i think Econ is just common

Lol

[bleak prism]

My NU interviewer was a grandma who graduated from the school of education

Which was super cool

[rose vale]

OOOOO

A GRANDMA

[bleak prism]

Yeah! She was so so nice

[rose vale]

YA I BET

[cobalt rampart]

i havent bad an interviewer w the same major

i got a math professor

a markerter

and an endicrinologist

and im public policy/sociology

[rose vale]

OOOO

[bleak prism]

My Harvard one was an ex math professor current consulting person

[visual crypt]

i wouldn't email again

honestly you might just have to wait

but it's not your fault

[pale rain]

ok thanks

[delicate jolt]

Definitely not this week. I'd follow up about mid-week next week just to check in.

[plucky lake]

Y'all South Asian folks who are wondering, I got an interview request as an int'l from India

And my interviewer is from India as well

So I guess it really IS based on alumni availability, you don't need to sweat too much

[spice willow]

EA ?

[plucky lake]

Nope

RD

Got it today

[valid compass]

from yale?

[valid compass]

what's that now?

[plucky lake]

Yup

Probably assigned before Feb 14

But my interviewer reached out to me today

Isn't the identity of the interviewer supposed to be confidential?

[signal sand]

bro guessed it correctly

[plucky lake]

Nah

It isn't Shumita

But it's a guy from India

[signal sand]

is it me

[plucky lake]

Maybe

Tbf one of my cousins has a goldendoodle called Theo

[signal sand]

oh yeah thats me!

[plucky lake]

Oh I see

Is your pfp a chinchilla

[signal sand]

no its a rat lol i match it with my GF

[plucky lake]

I see

[signal sand]

but its suppose to be a marmot but i couldnt find a unique gi

gif

[plucky lake]

Have you applied all 24 RD or what mate

[plucky lake]

Aha

[valid compass]

wth is happening here

[valid compass]

nice u lucky man

[signal sand]

im joking lol

[valid compass]

are u from north or south?

[signal sand]

i applied 4 EA's

[valid compass]

oh mb

[signal sand]

UF, MIT, UChicago, UPenn

deferred all of them but i was rejected M&T (UF comes out later)

and then i applied to 17 more RD via common app

and 3 via coalition

so its 17 RD + 3 EA converted to RD + MIT + 3 coalition @plucky lake

decision season might actually be hell

[plucky lake]

I see

Law of averages will catch up for RD 🤞

[spice thorn]

[noble steppe]

interviews are mostly based on availability

however an AO interview is a really strong sign

[bronze steeple]

if ur city has low interviewer to applicant ratio no otherwise somewhat

[cosmic geyser]

did u get a likely???

[delicate jolt]

No

[marble pier]

where are people getting all likelys got an interview

[visual crypt]

[marble pier]

I believe alex is also plat but he won IMO lol

[rugged chasm]

alex wang is incomparable

[remote vortex]

shi bruh still no interview

[pale rain]

if Yale sent out an interview cause they need additional info do they tell the interviewer what to ask about?? ik the interviewers dont get access to your app but can yale be like oh ask abt their awards or something??

[worthy bolt]

no

[noble steppe]

congrats :)

out of interest did u get YES?

[slow copper]

did getting a likely actually make you choose yale over other top schools

like mop is generally mit autoadmit afaik

[whole pier]

Nope my friend got a likely with no interview

[visual crypt]

what is mop 😭

[weak steeple]

mop the floor

jk its math olympiad training camp

[visual crypt]

ohh ok ty

[marble pier]

i didnt choose a school yet so no, but it's not going to be a deciding factor just a cool flex

i didnt get my mit app out early enough for ea

[visual crypt]

[slow copper]

trust mop is auto admit for mit. usamo probably isnt anymore if you’re in a bad demographic

[marble pier]

USAMO hasn't been enough for a while

[slow copper]

yeah it alone not enough for asian males

but for girls i’ve seen usajmo is enough

or even a high aime score

but lets not go deeper in that discussion lol

[shadow kayak]

What do non Olympiad grinders do to get into mit?

Or research

[marble pier]

grind olympiads

[red prawn]

Vibe

[noble steppe]

honestly no clue tbh

[rugged chasm]

write p good essays like Oats or apply sideways

[marble pier]

i have a friend that got back 2 back perfect AIME scores

we'll see how he does

[graceful sparrow]

if i havent gotten interview yet does that mean i wont get one at all

[spice willow]

There’s no definitive answer

[remote vortex]

[cobalt rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/rip-juice-cry-cat-kitten-tears-gif-15751834

[remote vortex]

i may have some bad news

[cobalt rampart]

WHAT

[remote vortex]

it says the last assignments are made by feb 14

soo

and its feb 18

[unborn fractal]

senior interviews could still come out

[cobalt rampart]

yeaaa

[remote vortex]

yea but rare right

[dusky tusk]

Delulu is not the solulu

Also im p sure many if not most get in w/o interview

So chill

[remote vortex]

yea ig

didnt get cornell either lmao

only RD i got is princeton

[unborn fractal]

real

[bronze steeple]

@unborn fractal did u get ur likely yet

[unborn fractal]

sadly not

[noble steppe]

that's also predicated on ur interview emailing you

they can be quite slow

but tbh definitely slim chances

[remote vortex]

yea

i mean i think they would have emailed by now

its been 5 days

4*

[dusky tusk]

You opted out of cornell brhh 💀

[unborn fractal]

yeah i could not be bothered

[rose vale]

WAIT U GOT A YALE LIKELY?

Congrats

[spice willow]

Read again

[unborn fractal]

i did not 😭😭

[spice willow]

😂

[rose vale]

dang

Misread

oops

[unborn fractal]

no worries

[quaint thicket]

got one today

[fallen moon]

:O

[manic rapids]

people who got into yale have u guys committed yet ?

[bleak prism]

thats not always true

[dusky tusk]

Did u commit

[manic rapids]

no not yet

[dusky tusk]

Any rd

[manic rapids]

i did princeton bc that was the only one that i had written supplementals for before yale decision 😭

[dusky tusk]

Oh ok

Would u consider pton

[manic rapids]

idkkk

it’s more yale or england tbh

[sonic zinc]

Build houses with the us urban development department

That’s what my friend who got in for urban planning did

[bronze steeple]

trust him bro

that's the source

[fervent remnant]

@dusky tusk R we gonna see eachother at Gtown.

[bronze steeple]

but jokes aside i would say many get in w/o interview (definitely not most...)

[fervent remnant]

idt most either

just bc no interview means they don't need much information (could be good or bad)

interview is teetered on that in between

[bronze steeple]

yeah i think they've said before that if ur in a small area were there r enough alum to interview everyone then the interview is just based on availability

[fervent remnant]

that too

[bronze steeple]

if ur from a bigger city only then is it selective

[fervent remnant]

just could be theres no availability

anyways guys don't think too much into it!

: D

[bronze steeple]

^ even out of those that get interviews only 1 in 6 get in (prob another 1 in 6 waitlisted and the rest rejected)

[fervent remnant]

even 1 in 6 sounds very high

[bronze steeple]

yeah its just an estimate tbh cuz only 10k get an interview and prob ~2k/2.3k get in without one so ~1 in 6 being a bit conservative

[cobalt rampart]

i Hope they give me an interview to add more points agter my midyear report

[rose vale]

Have u guys submitted mid-year reports

My counselor said she can’t submit for another week atleast

[inner thorn]

I have predicted grades so idk how my mid year report works

[dusky tusk]

Depends on 5 ivies, stanny, duke and whether i like ut bhp more lol. Did u get an official offer yet? Also join the gtown thread bruh its dead asf.

[cobalt rampart]

[fervent remnant]

wait check lounge

this is yale forum lemme get outta here.

[light yacht]

Does a no Yale interview + no likely email mean it’s over for an International

[worthy bolt]

no

[uneven crag]

You know what

It was over before it started

It IS over yale has a <5% acceptance rate

To think it’s over NOW means I thought I had a chance in the first place

Which i didn’t

I’ve reached the point of clarity where I’ve given up thinking about ivies

It’s peaceful ngl

[worthy bolt]

whenever I reach this point, I go back to stressing the day after 😭

[spice willow]

[remote vortex]

Bet

May I ask what area ur from

[quaint thicket]

near nyc jersey

[remote vortex]

Oh okay

Did the email say anything about a deadline

[quaint thicket]

no my interviewer just asked to give a date regarding what date/time works best

[remote vortex]

Oh ok

Ig that means they still have time

[topaz creek]

[junior osprey]

I wish I got a Duke

[hollow light]

i hate this sm why can't they just tell us results now

[valid compass]

my duke interview was so weird

[hollow light]

i wish there were like a second stage or something so we get to know sooner if we've advanced

or not

[topaz creek]

my mentality is degrading by the day

[valid compass]

where did u ea/ed?

[hollow light]

Harvard deferred :(((

[topaz creek]

like i got banned twice for being too unhinged alr

[junior osprey]

Blud I got rejected Brown and CMU

[potent peak]

[topaz creek]

i got rejected from fucking jhu

[valid compass]

[hollow light]

[valid compass]

SHOULDN'T!!!

[topaz creek]

guess who made it 66%

[potent peak]

it's a bad strategy actually unless you're insanely strong

[valid compass]

fr? from where?

[potent peak]

it's not fair

sample size of 3

[hollow light]

india only i think

[junior osprey]

I’d rather be deferred into RD than rejected from more competitive pools from other schools like Brown or CMU

[topaz creek]

tbf they are full pay and im a bum

[hollow light]

ill have to double check and ask

[valid compass]

how do uk?

[potent peak]

but i beg you don't do harvard rea

[junior osprey]

Ok fair

[potent peak]

like maybe try something else

[hollow light]

i think from the harvard server during rea

they told?

[potent peak]

or just don't use the rea strategy

[junior osprey]

This rd season gonna be goofy

[potent peak]

just ea or ed to lots of schools

[junior osprey]

Wait ur right I couldn’t have applied ea anywhere

[valid compass]

why did i not see any message of that sort

[junior osprey]

If I did rea

[potent peak]

yeah

[junior osprey]

That’s mid

[potent peak]

bad decision

[topaz creek]

[potent peak]

literally days fly so quick

[junior osprey]

When u wake up, u gotta look in the mirror and firmly lie to urself, “ur fucking HYPSM material bitch boy”

[topaz creek]

i dont lie i

i only cry

[potent peak]

honestly this will impose a lot of pressure to yourself

[topaz creek]

also i dont even apply to hpsm

y or die

[junior osprey]

(It’s sarcasm)

I genuinely don’t have the energy to think about it so I’m not stressed

[potent peak]
