[vague pecan]

Me when people with no interview get automatic rejection type shit

[timber plaza]

& all get auto admit

[vague pecan]

If you can do that, fs why not ☠️

[timber plaza]

so you really lose either way

tbf

😭

[vague pecan]

😞

[timber plaza]

u get interview + ur hopes up a bit to prolly end up w a rejection based on the odds

& same w no interview

[vague pecan]

It's like 50/50
Vs direct 0

[timber plaza]

[vague pecan]

Happened with Dartmouth

[primal needle]

😭 i have a fricking group interview tomorrow and i am scared

[zenith iron]

Pretty great

He brought up A2C once

And also said he’d be back in touch which was a little odd

[primal needle]

could ur interviewer stalk u in a2c after the interview as a "background" check

[inland ermine]

omg

wait this would be really funny ngl

[primal needle]

😂 exactly

[agile finch]

you have a crazy hook wym

[primal needle]

whats her hook

[balmy solstice]

[primal needle]

ah no worries

[agile finch]

if i was the AO id autoadmit you

ah yes theyll try to recruit me for stem 💀

HOPE HOPE HOPE

philosophy 💀

[primal needle]

😔 ubc is mid

[agile finch]

[primal needle]

[agile finch]

peta?

EXACTLY

thats why i use the sheep

chonkier and cute

🐑

[agile finch]

whyd they give the goat a goatee

[agile finch]

chonk

[primal needle]

cuz its a GOAT with a goatee

[merry pawn]

LOL I hate columbia for that, main reason why I'm not applying

LOL fair enough

I honestly didn't apply to many T20s

I just realized that looking at where everyone else is applying

Also Purude + Duke but they're in separate folders now that I've gotten decisions

Jeez

Lemme see your list

[exotic wave]

Fellow gtech applicant

[merry pawn]

I'm gonna get rejected lol

[exotic wave]

two weeks

☠️

[exotic wave]

What major

[merry pawn]

Yeah I just checked I have 5 T20s (1 rejected so far)

[exotic wave]

What a list

[merry pawn]

Jeez that's a lot

x_x

I have probably a similar amount in app fees

Wait I see you have a lot of like med related and engineering related, what do you want to do in the future?

Ooh that's cool

Become a researcher at Harvard lol

[exotic wave]

Full sweep incoming

Trust

[merry pawn]

Ooh yeah

I'm not even sure about getting a masters or phd yet

Probably not phd but I'm leaning towards masters rn

I would want Yale because I need a school better than Duke to feel better about my rejection 💔

[exotic wave]

I mean I think you’ll get all of the publics

Prolly

Except maybe mich

Cause they’re deferral merchants

[merry pawn]

Also crazy that you applied to all HYPSM

[exotic wave]

Yeah wild

I only applied to two

[merry pawn]

Lol

[exotic wave]

Princeton and harvard

[merry pawn]

I only did Yale

[exotic wave]

💀

[merry pawn]

I am NOT good enough for T5s but uh shoot my shot I guess!

LOL fair enough

[exotic wave]

I applied to all my schools for CE, EE, or ECE

[merry pawn]

My school doesn't have a good track record for HYPSM and that combined by my subpar grades and no hooks means there's no way I'm gonna get in

x_x

Don't let them choose your future

My parents have their opinions but I'm glad they aren't gonna force me to go anywhere

[exotic wave]

I don’t plan on switching into CS

I don’t wanna do CS

Not tryna be homeless

[merry pawn]

x_x

Just cause the job market is bad right now doesn't mean CS is a bad major

[exotic wave]

Yeah but like also

I want a major with more physics

[merry pawn]

I'm not gonna get in Gtech cause my major there is 50% CS soooo uhhh I've given up on them lol

[exotic wave]

CS either doesn’t have any or barely any

[merry pawn]

Yeah that makes sense

[exotic wave]

Which major tho

[merry pawn]

Computational media

I would do the people -> interaction track

[exotic wave]

Ur good

It’s not that comp

[sharp mesa]

im cooked for gtech bruh my essay was so bad

[exotic wave]

You have a good shot pal

Don’t worry about it

[merry pawn]

Yeah but it's both too artsy and too CS-y for my taste x_x

I applied cog sci and planning on doing a theme in design instead cause I really like the psych part of design

[merry pawn]

I mean it's 50% CS and my STEM grades have plenty of Bs so uhhh

And I'm oos

[exotic wave]

Oh uh

You might be cooked

☠️

[merry pawn]

Yep LOL

I wrote it in 1 day

[exotic wave]

Idk I think I have a good shot

[merry pawn]

And I'm unhooked and oos

[exotic wave]

Maybe I’m coping but

[merry pawn]

Actually to be accurate I wrote it in like a few hours x_x

[exotic wave]

CS applicants fell by like 2k this yr ur chilling

[merry pawn]

right before the nov 1st deadline I added like 3 schools to my list in 1 day lol

[exotic wave]

I did it in a few but revised it a crap ton

[merry pawn]

I'm glad I did though cause purdue clutched up

[exotic wave]

I’m glad I got into a college

I was worried one of my EC descriptions was absolute garbo

But I guess it was fine

[merry pawn]

No my EA/ED apps were so bad

[exotic wave]

Cause it was near the bototm

[merry pawn]

Like actually

Terrible

[exotic wave]

Bottom*

💀

Everything else was good tho

I spent 15 hours on princeton

I think

[merry pawn]

Jeez crazy

I redid my entire common app over winter break

Locked in fr

[sharp mesa]

i did columbia in like 9 days

[merry pawn]

I think I spent the most time rewriting my entire personal statement + activity list + additional information

Then for the rest of my RD apps I spent maybe 5 hours eaach

I filled up all 650 words for my additional information 😭

Same I feel like my entire app has no personality at all

Like even though I feel like my early apps were weaker

They had more personality

[exotic wave]

That used to be my dream lol

Now I wanna work at

Nvidia

Or do quantum computing stuff

Idk

AMD it is

Or apple

Apple would be neat

[unborn sundial]

I agree with Mg

Hardware engineering with the potential of quantum computing is where it's at

[merry pawn]

Then there's me the design major .-.

I know literally nothing about quantum computing lol

[vague pecan]

No interviews :((((

[unborn sundial]

No interview :(

[vague pecan]

We maybe cooked

I got none, Ig I have been deep fried

[timber plaza]

the time commitment horrible

[agile finch]

yours is coming'

they are hand delivering yours

[karmic rampart]

is it true that they only interview 15% of applicants?

[timber plaza]

i read in the yale ASC thingy that they interviewed like 11000 in 21-22 or smth

god knows if its changed

i doubt much

so ya

cus 50000+ apps

so around 20% max?

[agile finch]

yeah, your application is complete without an interview

[merry pawn]

Please gimme an interview 🙏

[karmic rampart]

i got one for yale, idk if that means that much tho

[agile finch]

doesnt mean that much in terms of admissions, but you should still be proud and happy that you got one

[timber plaza]

so ya idk i heard they read apps b4 interviews

and they give u one if they want more info

[karmic rampart]

yeah, and like the 15% is the middle right

[timber plaza]

tbf most of the interviewed kids will get rejected bc theodds r crazy

yuh

[karmic rampart]

below are autoreject

above is autoaccept

[timber plaza]

like auto reject doesnt get intrview nor auto admit (donor stuff)

[timber plaza]

i js heard everywhere

and they said they interview if they want more info

[karmic rampart]

[balmy solstice]

That’s so cool

USA politics is so amazing compared to the uk bro

our politicians are just posh people

yeah fr

damn

that would have been a cool supp essay

[vague pecan]

As I walked in to the room, he spoke my name softtly 's'

[balmy solstice]

yeah maybe not 😭

I have a love hate relationship with supps I’m ngl

[vague pecan]

Could have been In thank you note?

Like for Upenn

[balmy solstice]

on the one hand they are fun to write

but

[vague pecan]

FrFr

[balmy solstice]

besides that how can you know if they are even good bro

[vague pecan]

That's so subjective fr

That's why they have 2 readers

[balmy solstice]

I kept it safe, did it to my history teacher

[vague pecan]

Hopefully at least 1 of them is normal

😭

[balmy solstice]

They do?

[vague pecan]

Yeah I think so

At least for Yale I read that somewhere

[balmy solstice]

oh nice

I thought it’s only one guy

fair enough

idek a single person at uni in America

I know a guy who plays rugby at ASU that’s it

[vague pecan]

I know Anna and @marsh heart
☠️

No

Through here

☠️😭

Continuous interview simping for a week

Makes you close friends ig

😂☠️

Like
"Remember the time I met Clinton???"

☠️☠️☠️☠️

You are gonna do great in an interview if you said that to him at 9

☠️

Easy shit

GL

Had it for ED

It's very calm

I had it with someone from clas of 70

He was pretty chill

We had a lot of fun

Yeah in between sure
Like why darty
What classes professors etc
Which class es other than majors would you like

It's was honestly more of a convo

Nope

Yes

No need

It's like a good gesture but honestly wouldn't matter

[timber plaza]

no harvard interview

WTF

[vague pecan]

Just be yourself

[timber plaza]

NO DUKE

PELASE SOMEONE

[vague pecan]

NO HARVARD YAKE DUKE PRINCETON UPENN

Auto admit material fr

[timber plaza]

so im auto admit everywhee but yale

[vague pecan]

Hmmm, anomaly

Ask your counselor if you should do that

If he says yes share a polit note before

Saying that's just a quick intro for me

[vague pecan]

Email

After consulting ofc

[unborn sundial]

Ok my research prof finally uploaded his mentor

Maybe they were just waiting to give me an interview till everything was in besides my mid-year report

Definitely not coping

[vague pecan]

Def

[earnest kelp]

hello smarties 😛

[timber plaza]

dawg what do i ask my interviewer if he only went to their med school

cus that dont seem fun

😭

wtf do u even do in med school gang

[weak lotus]

wait thats lowkey weird 😭

you're interviewing for their college but they give u a med school interviewer

maybe just ask him about the overall vibe of yale without specifying med school/college

[timber plaza]

yes 😟

how am i supposed to learn ab undergrad experience

😭😭

cus bro went to princeton per the linkedin

[timber plaza]

ok ya 😭

[weak lotus]

thats crazy 😭

[agile finch]

😭

im following you around jeni.

https://tenor.com/view/dog-zoiudo-gif-20531253

you mean ur making us bacon

feeling poached rn

LMAOAO

okay i actually need to prep

ME TOO but in the mornings

*yet

*yet

:)

:)

[karmic rampart]

what did you apply for

when do likelys get sent out

[agile finch]

they literally give interviews until march bro

PUDDLED

YOU'RE NOT AN ICE CUBE

[unborn sundial]

Maybe I really will turn to glass

[weak lotus]

these schools need to be stopped 💀

[latent mulch]

tbh a lot of it is geographical availability

from what ive seen most UK applicants get interviews at a wayyy higher rate

both for yale and other colleges

[frosty swift]

wait waht

out of the 9k interviews a lot are intl?

[latent mulch]

i mean like interviews are a factor of how many alumni are in your area rather than how good your application is

if there are a ton of alumni wanting to interview and few applicants they'll just interview everyone

[frosty swift]

well yale prescreens

so it at least somewhat means something

[latent mulch]

well yeah, all i'm really saying is a lack of interview doesn't necessarily mean you're getting rejected, they just may not have enough people to interview

[frosty swift]

ofc ofc

but depending on specifics you can probably take that in many different ways

[latent mulch]

and getting an interview often isn't that strong a signal (but this may be quite uk-centric imo)

like 1.2% of YC alumni are in the UK, more than all but 7 or 8 states

[frosty swift]

keep in mind most ppl are are from the states

[latent mulch]

like yeah, what im saying in most cases the alumni/applicant ratio is not gonna be as skewed yknow

idk its not particularly important

you probably shouldn't think too much about anything

[vague pecan]

0 interview 🥺🥹🥲

[unborn sundial]

Ngl I literally dreamed that I did the interview yesterday

[timber plaza]

bro HELP?

bro im scared for mine

😢

cus bro is 70

wtf we gonna talk ab

[inland ermine]

70???!!?!!? oh my god

good luck ....

[timber plaza]

ty 😭

bro offered for us to have dinner at applebee's 💀

which is such an odd location

i js chose virtual 🙉

[sturdy needle]

humph 🤧

that's slightly unnerving 😭

we are in the same boat 🚢😭😭

none from Darty or Harvard as well 😭

sigh 😔

it's never too late I guess 😭

we could still get one 🤞🏻✌🏻

brooo 😭

i am planning on uninstalling that app soon 😭

the number of times I check it is unhealthy 😭

[tidal ferry]

Did anyone from northeast get an interview?

[timber plaza]

real

way too inconvenient tho 💔

in another life we could've had a 3 hr chat over mozz sticks

[zenith iron]

No Harv or darty here either

[sturdy needle]

sigh 😔.

[zenith iron]

Although I don’t actually remember if I clicked yes for Harvard, was there a box?

There wasn’t one for darty

[timber plaza]

no

PLEASE HARVARD

PLEASE DUKE

[zenith iron]

Okay

[timber plaza]

ANY INTERVIEW

[timber plaza]

js like a yale box or smth

PLEASE HARVARD

PLEASE DUKE

[zenith iron]

Honestly still kinda shocked that I got an interview

I wonder why I took priority even though there were no alumni available

[primal needle]

whale

no interview

no interview

[velvet field]

does yale prescreen with SAT scores or what?

[naive flame]

HOW MUCH IS MIN

[velvet field]

did yale have a question on commonapp about interviews? like yes or no

[velvet field]

idk im asking if they do

[timber plaza]

i submitted a 1480 got one 💀

but erm

idk

[velvet field]

oh I have a 1460

so its probably not SAT scores then idk hopefful ynot

[timber plaza]

no yea i doubt they would cut based on that

i think they read the whole app b4 giving u an interview

[timber plaza]

no, it was on the interview report

[naive flame]

I dont think they're gonna let anyone in with a 1300

[velvet field]

what does that mean

[timber plaza]

no it asked that u waive to see ur report

the thing the interviewer writes up ab u

[velvet field]

OHH that

where would that be

I dont see it on yale pdf

where is that

[zenith iron]

It’s said that interviews are only for borderline cases

Or are at least prioritized for that

[naive flame]

imagine he talks shit about you

[karmic rampart]

they do atleast one read before interview invites so its probably just a normal holistic screen

[velvet field]

i mean I saw people get intervviews in aweek

[zenith iron]

Last year only 15% of applicants received interviewed

[timber plaza]

i will know tmr 😿

he seems like a jolly guy okay

i watched his interviews

hes like a santa claus almost

[naive flame]

how'll you know tomorrow

[timber plaza]

**auto accept

[timber plaza]

bc the interview is tmr gang

figuring out how to suck up 2 him

[naive flame]

i want an interview

[naive flame]

just be yourself bro

[timber plaza]

yes 🤓

[velvet field]

from that whast the acceptrance rate

[timber plaza]

bro offered to do an interview @ applebees

really missed opportynity

sad i couldnt make it

cus bro gave me 4 shitty times

[timber plaza]

well like 9k-10k get interviewed

& then ofc they accept like 2k

[velvet field]

thats more than 15%

[timber plaza]

or smth

[timber plaza]

well dawg idk how many applied

[velvet field]

around 7k get interviews approx

ig

[karmic rampart]

its 9k/55kish

[naive flame]

whats wrong w apple bees

[karmic rampart]

https://asc.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/ASC Orientation 2425(1).pdf

[timber plaza]

nothing man

i js couldnt go

[velvet field]

i mean is there a correlation between intervewis and higher chance/accpetrance rate or not really?

[timber plaza]

cus its an hr away 💀 no license, no public transportation

[zenith iron]

No data

[karmic rampart]

i think anecdotally some ccs have said so

like 99% of their acceptances have had interviews

[timber plaza]

read most ppl on campus have intevriews

[zenith iron]

Interesting

Please accept me Yale I luv u

[velvet field]

frick0

[timber plaza]

ong

[velvet field]

yea its ggs

[timber plaza]

interview made me delulu type shi

[velvet field]

interveiews are sent from when to when

[timber plaza]

i thin till mar or smth

idk

if they are deicidng still

god knows

@zenith iron oh how long was ur intervieww

btw

[zenith iron]

Lowk my interview felt like a recruitment session

[timber plaza]

😿 im scared

[velvet field]

oh alright, I mean its only been 15 days since yale applicaiton so ig i gotta wait

[zenith iron]

Very strictly 30 minutes

[timber plaza]

help??

crazy

[zenith iron]

He said at the beginning it was gonna be exactly 30 minutes

[timber plaza]

oh

[naive flame]

Was he asking you to come to yale

[zenith iron]

No but it was very “is there anything we can do to help you during this process” coded

He said he was gonna reach back out which is ???

[karmic rampart]

he mighta had a time issue? their ASC guide says they can take anywhere from 30-45

[timber plaza]

man if i dont get this.

[zenith iron]

No because I had tech difficulties that lasted 15 minutes at the beginning and he said he wouldn’t penalize me for that

[karmic rampart]

ah

[zenith iron]

And it was with a senior

[karmic rampart]

wait i think they do interview requests in batches

i got mine the 13th

[zenith iron]

15th here

[naive flame]

so maybe ill have it in feb

[timber plaza]

bro my interviewer told me they could only do it in the next wk

but they have until feb??

[zenith iron]

I wonder if they release them in batches to help narrow down candidates

[steel notch]

3 days before decisions wtf is that gonna do

[velvet field]

so I should get one after jan 24th or feb 14h

[zenith iron]

Also very minor detail but he called me a candidate rather than an applicant which I found interesting

[karmic rampart]

what questions did he ask

[velvet field]

I wouldnt think that means anything but idk

[timber plaza]

well yea everyone is a candidate for admission no 💀

[zenith iron]

Nothing about my ECs, academics, or why Yale. Primarily questions like “tell me about a time when x happened and how did you respond y”

[zenith iron]

I didn’t say it meant anything

[velvet field]

ahh thats cool

[zenith iron]

I was pretty surprised

[karmic rampart]

anybody know anything about what duke prescreens? i heard somewhere duke is less strict in how they screen

[zenith iron]

It wasn’t like the other interviews I had

[tulip pecan]

one of two things

• they really wanted to admit (took a second read at his application) and needed more info
• there was no reason and he was admitted but they wanted to fill their egos by giving him an interview

[stiff merlin]

Ur a stem applicant right

[plain rover]

i don’t know bc i submitted AP in instead of SAT but maybe

do u guys know if yale will accept feb act btw?

[sturdy needle]

sure
you can always self report as long as the scores come out

when will the scores come out though

[plain rover]

i think like feb 12-15!

i’m going to try and rush it tho

[sturdy needle]

that's more than cool tbh

[sturdy needle]

if you can, that will be even more fantastic

[zenith iron]

Yes physics

[agile finch]

theres no box

[agile finch]

yep, you see here that they still give out interviews mid february too so that's good to hear

[stiff merlin]

Yea same apparently it means possibly likely

[zenith iron]

Still probably not a great chance to get in but eh whatever

Idk

[stiff merlin]

No it’s just stem r more likely to get a likely letter bc yales stem is weak

Yale rarely gives likely senior interviews to humanities cuz they know their humanities is tuff asf

But Yale can’t compete against like Stanford or mit for Cs and STEM

Like engineering

I’m engineering

[unborn sundial]

I'll take Yale in a heartbeat for stem 🙏

[zenith iron]

I’m physics

Yale physics is lowkey goated for a few specific disciplines

[unborn sundial]

Yeah it's cracked

[vague pecan]

Hi Glass

[unborn sundial]

I'm not glass yet 🙏

If I get rejected everywhere else I'll change my name to glass

[vague pecan]

😭

[ruby marten]

yes

no my friend

[rigid vault]

i submitted it on the day of and got interview request a few days later

oh nvm i got it on the same day

submitted research at 4am jan 9

interview request 3pm jan 9

[vague pecan]

So that means I should submit a research?

☠️

[rigid vault]

it was due jan 9 tho :/

yeah i was surprised ☠️

[timber plaza]

thats cus ur auto admit

.

[rigid vault]

oh rlly

intriguing

[timber plaza]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1h7q7k6/i_viewed_my_yale_admissions_file_this_week_ama/

ok wiat so they read over the whole app it looks like

erm

[tulip pecan]

This would be very annoying for someone that spent so many hours preparing an application

[steel notch]

Are Yale interviews like Harvard indicative of your competitiveness for Yale?

[tulip pecan]

Yale only gives 20% of applicants interviews

So, YES

[timber plaza]

no right help

bc they dwindle it down to #s only 😭

crazy

[timber plaza]

well if u dont get 1 u could be auto admit

[tulip pecan]

what's #s sorry

[timber plaza]

i heard most get 1 thoo on campus

[steel notch]

nice

ok time to prep

[timber plaza]

well no they js dwindle it down to numbers.. like the rating

[timber plaza]

omg did u get one

bro mine is tmr

[steel notch]

Also where is the source for 20%?

[timber plaza]

im scareddd

[steel notch]

Ye

[tulip pecan]

Oh yhhh 😭

[steel notch]

gl

[tulip pecan]

But yale stricter in rating tho

[timber plaza]

hmm so i saw on the pdf for the yale alumni schools committee (asc) that they interviewed like 11k

[tulip pecan]

Harvard's ratings are more lenient but not just for 1s

[timber plaza]

and then they take like 56k apps

so smth around that

[steel notch]

oki

Is it Yale and Harvard that is indicative

What other top schools r indicative

[timber plaza]

duke i think

[agile finch]

this is cool

[timber plaza]

no fr

[tulip pecan]

I'm gonna try seeing my admissions file if I get into a top skl fr

[steel notch]

O ok

[agile finch]

my real motivation

[vague pecan]

Step 1
Getting an interview if intl
COOKED FR FR

[inland ermine]

apparently it’s only if they want more information as in you can still be accepted without an interview

so if you get an interview it means you’re competitive but not all competitive applicants get an interview

😰

[timber plaza]

lmao idk how i get 1 cause my app was ass

[vague pecan]

Hard cope fr

☠️

[timber plaza]

lmfao i realized i wrote my essay on their poli sci + econ department

when the urban studies major makes more sense

bc i talk ab urban design

😭

bro they aint even realize ong

💯

[vague pecan]

Anna no spam?

[timber plaza]

no im becoming chill

i have done some soul searching

college ≠ everthing

[vague pecan]

Wait you didn't sell it?

Lessss go

[latent mulch]

tbh the urban studies major is super small

[timber plaza]

ok good to hear

[merry pawn]

SAME I feel like my app had no personality

[merry pawn]

What major are you?

[primal needle]

how does ur app even get personality

[merry pawn]

I mean like my essays were so boring

[primal needle]

😔 idk the waiting game is tooo much at this point

[merry pawn]

Worst part of college apps imo

[primal needle]

i am just so peak of my brain power at this point

i am getting annoyed i dont wana study i just want to skip time to decisions

and then there is this feeling of 96% chnce of getting rejected

[agile finch]

realistically there's a very specific personality you embody

its actually kind of weird

every essay that has "personality" has the same personality

[primal needle]

AY u r listning to royalty , op ngl, makes u feel like a god

[agile finch]

idk if im making any sense

[primal needle]

yeah u kind of r making sense, cuz at the end its just u

[vague pecan]

Us

Btw bro
They might be delayed extra for us
I heard they come around end of Feb mid Feb
Variable

[merry pawn]

Same

[primal needle]

😞ik I ain't getting into Yale anyone but 💀atleast I need some solid options to cope before exams...like some option where I can commit right away

[violet crown]

It’s been like three days and my interviewer hasn’t responded yet

He originally emailed me but added his phone number so I texted him

Should I follow up on email

[primal needle]

yes u should

[timber plaza]

econ + poli sci LOLL

so it mainly correlates

i guess i could've chosen urban studies tho 💀 would've made more sense

[primal needle]

i chose sustainability

cuz we sus like that

[timber plaza]

ong

what a chill guy

[real lily]

are yale interviews both offline and online?

[timber plaza]

yes

[real lily]

wait so why does it matter if there are alumni in your area if you can have an online interview?

[timber plaza]

well typically its an alum in area + they give u the option

so i guess they assume that they want to give u someone close so u can do IRL if u want

but if no alum i think they do senior interviewers or smth not sure

[merry pawn]

Ooh that's cool

[timber plaza]

tyy yes

bro im scared interview soon 💀

god help me

need to rizz up this man

[real lily]

good luck!!!

[timber plaza]

thank you HELP

erm so

he asked like my class rank, gpa, sat score, ap scores 💀

bro does not need to know allat

but anyways bro told me i'd be a good fit for yale 😍 a win is a win
