Yale University (2024-2025)

[summer girder]

If I get waitlisted…..

[covert monolith]

tbh im js gonna be attached to whichever ivy accepts me, if any of them do

[summer girder]

Pain….

[dusky bough]

lowk if columbia gave me a likely i wouldnt be considering any other ivies

lol

[covert monolith]

it's negative aura to get obsessed over a college then get rejected im ngl

[dusky bough]

before i got the yale one ofc

[marsh heart]

i actually love columbia

[summer girder]

Fr

[mental blaze]

i withdrew my application

[dusky bough]

me too bruh i love the cityyy

[summer girder]

Oh damn

Fr?

[marsh heart]

if i get cooked after the audit 😭 🙏 ♔

im gonna go cuckoo

[mental blaze]

yes

[summer girder]

A lot of ppl applied to yale only 💀

As an Ivy

[mental blaze]

i seen it work before

[summer girder]

Yeah

I only applied to two tho

[covert monolith]

i should've been one of those mfers that applies all 8 ivies even if they don't like a few of them

on god

[marsh heart]

i applied to 7 😋

[covert monolith]

i applied 4

[marsh heart]

i have 9 decisions to open on ivy day

insane

[dusky bough]

damn

i have 4

[covert monolith]

tho honestly i could've probably done 6

like i fw harvard's vibes i js didn't do it cuz didn't have time and prob wasn't worth it

[dusky bough]

my rd schedule

[summer girder]

I wouldn’t have gotten in 😀 so I onl applied to two I liked

[marsh heart]

i have one this friday, two next wednesday, and nine next thursday 😭 🙏

[dusky bough]

DAMN

let me guess

[covert monolith]

these are like my rough estimates of decision dates

[dusky bough]

JHU, nyu, USC

[summer girder]

Yale was a test for my RD schools to gauge my competitiveness

[covert monolith]

js ignore how tufts is there twice

[summer girder]

Bro u guys put decision dates on ur calendars??

[marsh heart]

close close

ucla - friday
usc vandy - wednesday
ivys + duke - berk - thursday

[honest lynx]

Didn’t tufts announce

[dusky bough]

i have it in my notion

[covert monolith]

i don't wanna get jumpscared 😭

[covert monolith]

yeah they did

[dusky bough]

ooo

[marsh heart]

yeah

[honest lynx]

You still have a copy on 4/1

[covert monolith]

that's why it's on there twice

i forgot to delete it

[dusky bough]

wait which ivies did u apply to

[covert monolith]

yeah

😭

[mental blaze]

i used to put a timer down to the second on my phone

[dusky bough]

all of them except 2?

or except 1

[marsh heart]

i scheduled a movie with my friend for right after ucla lmao

[honest lynx]

The ivies will all be at 7pm et

[covert monolith]

also btw there's no brandeis thread

[marsh heart]

all except dartmouth LOL

[covert monolith]

but brandeis confirmed their date i have email for it

[honest lynx]

Yeah j got Brandeis marked ty

[dusky bough]

fart mouth 🤢

[honest lynx]

NYU is likely 4pm et

[summer girder]

I just wait for the email to drop

😭

[marsh heart]

bro the emails come late 😭

[dusky bough]

i js put it in my notion and make a mental note

[summer girder]

Dude idk I waited for yale and had its date engraved in my mind

[marsh heart]

march 27 is engraved in my brain

[summer girder]

and the only reason why I have Ivy day engraved in my mind is bc people keep talking abt it

[covert monolith]

i have zero clue which order im gonna open my ivies in

[marsh heart]

i’m doing a wheel

[summer girder]

Brown first yale last

[dusky bough]

im doing yale last

[marsh heart]

for the purpose of entertainment

[summer girder]

(Yale hurts more h

[mental blaze]

im just going to watch people on march 27th

[dusky bough]

me and my friend are opening them together

so maybe we should sync

bc she got columbia likely

[honest lynx]

I am trying to see if we can put up a wheel on the website

For all the March 27th decisions

[marsh heart]

omg lmao

a joint wheel would be cute

[mental blaze]

curate the best order to alleviate rejection pain

[summer girder]

No I’m not letting a wheel decide my order smh

Yale is last

[dusky bough]

Penn Harvard Columbia Yale

[summer girder]

Pain is last

[dusky bough]

oh

no pain first

[covert monolith]

imma prob do columbia yale upenn princeton

[summer girder]

No pain last

[marsh heart]

cornell first

[honest lynx]

What if I made orders based on random shit

Like “ivies by hex color”

[marsh heart]

based on how many squirrels there are on campus

[summer girder]

Ion think there’s data for this

[covert monolith]

i don't like "have a chance" of getting into UPenn but of the ivies i applied to UPenn is highest cuz of legacy so if i was to get in third place would be a pretty good place to put it

[honest lynx]

After my exam I will think of order ideas and run them by yall

And then I’ll post them on one of the blogs

Idk which one

Probably my Carly from A2C one

[tidal gazelle]

Is STEM favored ?? for looking at applicants because they are uncommon or what.

[summer girder]

It’s annoying to wait until decisions day because I feel like day by day you get attached to ur top choice now and I try not to because I don’t want to feel heartbroken LMAO

[summer girder]

More humanities oriented schools like stem students

If they admit by major

[dusky bough]

they dont admit by major

they are trying to gain a well rounded class with equal amounts of stem and humanities students

[honest lynx]

I thought of these for now

I will think of more

[marsh heart]

height of tallest building

[summer girder]

Does CMU admit by major

[covert monolith]

photo of tallest building from train station

[summer girder]

I think it does right

[mental blaze]

alphabetical order

[covert monolith]

but how cool that building is

[dusky bough]

Distance from raising canes

[tidal gazelle]

When do decisions come out?

Is there a set calendar for when they come out

[summer girder]

27

[wild plinth]

does Yale contact the teachers/counselors of everyone they plan to admit or something

I've heard that happening to people so many times so I'm wondering how common this is

[devout mulch]

no, they only do it for a few people (it still is a good sign tho)

[summer girder]

its usually for ppl with inconsistencies in their app

so if u got little to none then ur good

[devout mulch]

any contact is good contact (unless its a rejection)

[summer girder]

(rejection gives closure)

[wild plinth]

alr tysm lol

have to remember that radio silence is the norm

[summer girder]

ye any contact is good contact radio silence is odd but its there

[plain rover]

do ur counselors ever tell u

cuz mine is radio silent lol

[summer girder]

some counselors do others have a more quieter codee of conduct

[frail aspen]

my brother applied to princeton rea and my counselor told him if he got rejected she’d call their admissions office and demand an answer to why they never admit people from our school/state and he was like please no LMFAO

[summer girder]

mines are radio silent 💀 they do a pretty good job of not talking to students about decisions tho i think most seniors dont talk to them a lot after apps which is kinda sad

[sharp mesa]

I’m p sure our school is blacklisted from Princeton ☠️

Or like people think it is

[violet crown]

10 😭

[stuck hollow]

bro i have 14 decesions coming in the range from march 26-28

[quartz glacier]

Good luck!

[sharp mesa]

🫡

[stable crescent]

guys

[bold current]

Si

[cerulean whale]

It's bad reaction video content if you don't end on an acceptance

Likely letters last QED (also good alliteration)

[summer girder]

im not getting accepted to any school next week either way... all of them are reaches ;-;

[silent gorge]

oh don't say that. nothing is certain atp

[summer girder]

listen im the type of person who expects the worst to not get disappointed by the outcome 😭

[mental blaze]

have you tried the rejection simulator

[frail aspen]

lmfao yes

[dark lichen]

claire danes

went to yale

damn

[tawdry viper]

omg i was just thinking about that yesterday

she dropped out after 2 years though

[desert light]

Rejection simulators are bad juju

I literally know for a fact I’m getting into Yale. I don’t need no interview, no merit, no accomplishments, none of that, my fate is determined and things always work out for me

[hallow lodge]

real

[tawdry viper]

if someone in this chat actually gets in w/o an interview it would be so amazing

[desert light]

I’ve practiced my acceptance like 20 times. The best way to get good at something (e.g. being accepted) is to do it over and over again until it’s second nature

[frail aspen]

Boola boola! 💙🐶

[formal rune]

what does the yale pre-screen consist of again

do they read the essays and do it?

[agile finch]

have you read the podcast transcripts

if you haven't and you're genuinely curious, that's where you should start because nobody here is an AO so its best to consult actual material

[formal rune]

i have not, can you link me to it

[frail aspen]

i love inside the yale admissions office

[silent gorge]

well i call this daydreaming

[summer girder]

Did anybody apply with an arts portfolio?

Can you guys still edit your questionnaire? I can

[formal rune]

same here

[vague pecan]

Yes

[formal rune]

dang

how many ppl usualyl apply with arts portfolio

[vague pecan]

Hes

Yes*

[vague pecan]

Very few ig

[summer girder]

I thought u couldn’t edit the questionnaire after

Kinda weird why they let you do that

[ebon goblet]

i checked a while ago and i don’t think i could

that’s odd

but i’d assume whatever you submitted initially is whatever they see

[formal rune]

read through this, the podcast about interviews was in 2020, before yale started to prescreen

so unfortunately it does not help at all

[formal rune]

3 in this chat already though tbh

[formal rune]

the mateirla they dont let u

after submission

the questionnaire i thkn they do

did yall get an intereview

[tawdry viper]

yes, i can edit my stem research supplement, I actually edited it on March 6th and it said it was recieved as an update (I emailed admissions to ask)

[stable crescent]

real

[stable crescent]

that’s gonna be u

[agile finch]

i did

[covert monolith]

on everybodies soul im getting in without an interview

[fading knot]

somebody last year from my school got in no interview

he applied REA deferred with no interview

accepted RD

[vague pecan]

You basically did everything, we are talking about normal ppl here

[agile finch]

HELP

😭

[tawdry viper]

that proves you don't gotta be an "auto admit" to be accepted without an interview

it's honestly ridiculous that people say that because nobody is an "auto admit" to a place like Yale

[fading knot]

ye

[agile finch]

yes

[marsh heart]

oh this is fire

[tawdry viper]

this is so stupid of me but atp why the hell not

did anyone else's financial aid documents get reordered on the checklist?

i coincentially took a SS last night and it is not in the same order anymore

they reordered once after I submitted requested additional docs and just again reordered

help im so paranoid someone just give me my decision now LMAO

[agile finch]

if you submitted additional docs it makes sense they might reorder

[tawdry viper]

that makes sense thankssss

[tidal gazelle]

So is an interview a good sign right

[agile finch]

its no sign

because nothing means anything except a decision

[summer girder]

yale interviews people who they need more information from

if u got no interview it means ur app is complete as is

[vague pecan]

Hell naw

[vague pecan]

It's good that you get it. Means you passed the pre-screen but doesn't necessarily mean you'll be accepted

[plain rover]

ur cooked either way lol

4% acc rate or wtvr

[vague pecan]

It does increase according to skieurope from CC with interview

[fading knot]

Yes

[tawdry pulsar]

Erhhmm I'll be an Aggie it's fine 😭

[devout mulch]

if i can't get into tufts, how tf am i gonna get in here😭

[dusky bough]

u got tufts syndromed dw

[devout mulch]

explain what that is

[fading knot]

They yield protect

[fading knot]

Did u get inteviewed

[quartz glacier]

Tufts looks for a very specific type of character

I think the same can be said about Yale but who knows maybe for your Yale essays you really showed that side of yourself

Don’t lose hope you’ve got this 🤞

[devout mulch]

no

[fading knot]

We just gotta pray

[willow shoal]

literally i got rejected too

[frail aspen]

everyone embrace &

[dusky bough]

yale tamu baby

[tawdry viper]

not looking great so far

[dusky bough]

i cant even see the game im js watchign straight ads

what was that pass

that one was good

[plain rover]

what doies tufts want

im curious

[dusky bough]

5 turnovers already 😭

[devout mulch]

hasn't even paid the deposit yet, and is probably a bigger fan than the average person that goes there

[dusky bough]

LMFAO

trust come march 27th i will be paying that deposit

WHY DO WE HAVE SEVEN TURNOVERS

HELLO

i cant be caught attending a school with 7 turnovers in the first 8 minutes

[tawdry viper]

yale and the other team getting flagrants in the ncaa tournament

[dusky bough]

we get 2 shots

aggressive ass push bruh

[tawdry viper]

same thing happened v auburn last year

missed both shots though...

[dusky bough]

he only missed one tho

[tawdry viper]

are u behind?

he missed both

and they didn't score when they had the ball too

wasted opportunity

[dusky bough]

wait no for the flagrant?

mbeng made one no

[tawdry viper]

nope

he missed both

[dusky bough]

FUCK

bro

and then didnt even score...

then poulakidas missed the 3...

[summer girder]

[tawdry viper]

mbeng needs to lock in

[dusky bough]

yeah

[tawdry viper]

wade taylor is really bad bruh

[dusky bough]

i swear to god

im losing faith in yale as each second passes

[fading knot]

i wanna get in so bad

[tawdry viper]

yale can't out physical texas a and m

like they did with other ivy schools

[dusky bough]

thats the biggest issue

we arent getting any rebounds because anm is just bigger

than us

and then they have a bad 3pt %

but it doesnt matter because you just shoot the 3 then get the rebound

[summer girder]

im delusional

[tawdry viper]

maybe yale has a second half comeback in them

[latent mulch]

bez mbeng

[dusky bough]

😭

why does he have NO POINTS

[tawdry viper]

wait he deadass has no points LMAO

[latent mulch]

its actually crazy

[latent mulch]

riley fox

GO GINGER GO

[dusky bough]

Yeah its over

[sharp mesa]

😭

[dusky bough]

Yale needs to stick to school because clearly basketball is not our forte

[tawdry viper]

hey they beat auburn last yr

[dusky bough]

[tawdry viper]

well u cant win em all

[dark lichen]

I'm considering doing pure ee tho

[dusky bough]

i see

[clever drum]

I lowk got cooked on my midterms

[dusky bough]

damn

[clever drum]

But that's like my fault

[dusky bough]

cs cooked u?

[clever drum]

Yeah

😭

Ee was a little cooked

[dusky bough]

i feel like ee will cook me but not cs

opposite sitch

[clever drum]

Cs test was some bs

Ngl

It's also just that I feel like I might do EE plus programming certificate

[dusky bough]

ah

[clever drum]

Cuz eecs joint is mainly cs

Not as much ee

[dusky bough]

i wanted to do eecs w data sci cert

i lowkey like that

[clever drum]

That's valid

[dusky bough]

i’m js scared to do pure cs

[clever drum]

I was considering that too

[dusky bough]

i applied as stats n ds major

[clever drum]

Eecs major is not too many requirements

[dusky bough]

but idk what i would do with that major when i grad

oo that’s nice

[clever drum]

Lol

U can do data science

Or quant

💀

[dusky bough]

idk if i wanna do quant

[clever drum]

That's a pretty popular major here

[dusky bough]

i hate econ

[clever drum]

Me to

[dusky bough]

i wanna do like swe academia or ML

[clever drum]

But quant is all math, not rlly any finance or econ knowledge needed

Mainly stats

[dusky bough]

oh interesting

what does quant even do

[clever drum]

Kind of like using math to predict markets, but you get hired purely based on your math skills

Mainly probability stuff

[tidal gazelle]

bro this late interview stuff and it being a “sign” is like subconsciously screwing with me because its like changed my outlook on this stuff and i dont know how to feel about acceptance and rejection what is this feeling bro im gonna explode

[dusky bough]

if you wait 6 days you’ll see your decision

try not to stress about the things that are out of your control

you simply cannot change the outcome, whether it’s positive or not

so in the coming times until decisions just try and do things unrelated to college-get off this discord, spend time with your friends, engage with your hobbies, just do fun things

[marsh heart]

yale is asian baddie galore

[marsh heart]

i feel u so hard 😭 inadvertently the “good signs” i’ve gotten are making me stress harder

[stable crescent]

oh

SEC baddie level tho 🙏🏼

i don’t want baddies so i can talk to them

i just don’t wanna be surrounded by uglynpeople

[agile finch]

LMAOAO

[marsh heart]

im plenty happy about the asian baddies

columbia also has a lot of asian baddies

[marsh heart]

i need to drain my brain

[meager berry]

M

[vague pecan]

I am an Asian Badass

[sharp mesa]

[fossil verge]

[dusky bough]

[vague pecan]

Bro added Yale finally

[dusky bough]

i’ve had it for a while

[crimson dagger]

[stable crescent]

yeah

mines like that too

[devout mulch]

aww man, mines just says my name

[meager berry]

@fossil verge hey you said someone from your city got into yale.. can you say which city or state if you don't mind? also did they ask for aid or not?

[fossil verge]

Jaipur, Rajasthan

I don't think they did. I don't know them personally, tbh

[unborn sundial]

Getting into Yale without an interview fr 🙏

[dusky bough]

if u can get in jhu and cmu probably

[agile hornet]

[summer girder]

[tawdry viper]

ill literally sing ken carson everyday pls pls plssss

[clever drum]

💀

[summer girder]

you got columbia ur already abg

meanwhile i need to manifest abg energy

[bold current]

Real

[ruby marten]

i want to be a yale abg

[unborn sundial]

Real

[summer girder]

one does not need yale to be an abg

one manifests from the inside

working hard throughout highschool signifies abg-ness, and studies show that 98% of applicants who have the balls to apply to ivy leagues have abg potential

(coping)

[ruby marten]

i thot liking keshi signified abg-ness

[marsh heart]

is it that bad 💔💔

[agile hornet]

that was so 2022

get on it. bixby. starfall. joon.

[ruby marten]

mb mb i'm from republican tx not cali

[agile hornet]

my deepest condolences

[ruby marten]

thank you

that's why i need to get out

[agile hornet]

could not wish such a nightmare upon anybody

[agile hornet]

i believe in you 🙏

[bold current]

Take me with youuuu

[ruby marten]

dww we always have austin if nothing else

[bold current]

True!

[dusky bough]

[tawdry viper]

sorry i’m too busy watching uconn wbb b2a

also question

[dark lichen]

real

[dusky bough]

[golden prawn]

[dark lichen]

@dusky bough

wsp

[dusky bough]

[summer girder]

its like the calm before the storm

[summer girder]

asiam baddie girl

asian

[silver osprey]

wow

what an acryonym

it seems i have misused the word acronym

[hollow oar]

Pleasee let me in

[silver osprey]

it appears this is a initialism

[devout mulch]

yea btw when i googled it using urban dictonary, the g is for gangster

[silver osprey]

asian baddie gangster?

[devout mulch]

ig, but its interchangable

[tawdry viper]

wait so how common is it to be audited

[dusky bough]

not common

like 50 ppl

[tawdry viper]

oh lol

[dusky bough]

almost as uncommon as likelies

[silver osprey]

what is the meaning of audited

[tawdry viper]

its when an ao calls to verify some things on ur app shortly before decisions

[marsh heart]

what

theres no way its that low

[dusky bough]

for audit or likely?

i was exaggerating likely is like 200

but audit seems about right

[marsh heart]

audit

maybe i just have a hard time believing because it happened to me

but like damn 😭

[tawdry viper]

wait i thought u go to ucsd?

[marsh heart]

no but i got in

i’m a hs senior

[ebon goblet]

dont worry audit is usually for like

hard to believe ecs if that makes sense

[fading knot]

Idk how one of the best applicants in my grade didn’t get an interview

[ebon goblet]

j wanna make sure youre not lying

[dusky bough]

U can get in no interview

bruh

[frail aspen]

someone from my school got in early and he’s a super nice chill guy but he said he doesn’t really want to go like 😭😭 i will GLADLY take your spot

[fading knot]

Super rare

[dusky bough]

not that rare

slightly rarer than getting into yale period

[vague pecan]

Cap
Say the likely

[dusky bough]

The likelihood of someone getting into yale is only marginally higher than getting in without an interview

[vague pecan]

😞

UNI I AM COMING MY TWINN

Just 5 days

[dusky bough]

see you soon!

mark ur calendar... april 21-23

[summer girder]

[tawdry viper]

[vague pecan]

Harvard and Yale are more possible atp than dsrty

☠️

[summer girder]

also how cracked are they

[tawdry viper]

there was this one school with a lot of yale reas

the only kid who got in was without an interview

same with stanford near me

[summer girder]

ohhhhhhhhh

[tawdry viper]

everyone with interview p much got deferred

[summer girder]

yeah same boat here except it was 50/50

[vague pecan]

Are RD interviews more important?

[summer girder]

interview 2 accepts, 3 defers, 2 rejects

1 person didnt commit yet

[tawdry viper]

well someone said in here yesterday they knew a kid who got deferred rea w/o interview and accepted rd w/o interview (same kid)\

[summer girder]

and then u have a hs just a few away from us who got like 10 in rea

[tawdry viper]

and for the kids here idk bc it's this year

[summer girder]

and then u have another private shcool that have 2 commits but its probably more accepted becuse its private

so im looking at the commits

ngl our school might get more people

because a lot of other people didnt commit

[summer girder]

o interesting

[summer girder]

man idk

last year no one from my hs got accepted REA and nobody recieved an interview

period

[tawdry viper]

i truly think interviews are just for ppl they literally need more info to make a decision

[vague pecan]

Naur

[tawdry viper]

if ur application is deemed sufficent for acceptance w/o interview they wont interview you

[summer girder]

took a bunch of kids from the private school over there even tho 2024 was so competitive

[vague pecan]

That can't be the 90 percent ppl accepted lol

Especially not intls

[tawdry viper]

most kids have a rejection worthy app w/o interview tho

[summer girder]

and we had a ton of people that class gett into princeton

so like idk man yale what are u doing

favor our hs pls we love u

[summer girder]

me too ngl

[tawdry viper]

ur trusting a student led newspaper thing instead of the admissions office

[hallow lodge]

fuck

[dusky bough]

this is a good thing

[summer girder]

like my app if you look at it as a whole there's definitely stuff aos would wanna know about so i got an interview EA

[dusky bough]

what

it means that if werent interviewed ur app was complete

[vague pecan]

I mean
They wouldn't interview intls at least without a reason
They won't do all that effort for nothin

[hallow lodge]

my yale why essay sucked

harvard? i thought id get that at least tbh

[vague pecan]

There were only 2 in my region
Very late like 9th march

The interviewer was surprised asw

[dusky bough]

harvard interview matters so much less

[tawdry viper]

its not for no reason, they interview bc they need more info to make a decision 💀

[summer girder]

harvard interviews everybody

[vague pecan]

It matters the most when intl tho 😭

[summer girder]

same with mit

lke those schools go out of their way to give an interview

[vague pecan]

Welp we all have opinions
It's okay 👍🏻

[tawdry viper]

esp bc intl's have schools/ec's that are less recognizable to AO's

[summer girder]

if you get interviewed by yale they're either on the fence abt you or they feel like you need a little more to their application but yale also prescreens iirc

(i think this was conffirmed by a podcast?)

[dusky bough]

oh i forgot sry

[vague pecan]

website***

[summer girder]

yeah it was bc of the amt of increasing applicants

[dusky bough]

idk i feel like my interview didnt add more to my app other than showcase my personality

like all the answers i gave were essentially what i wrote in my supps

[vague pecan]

That's what that is lol

[summer girder]

dude my interviewer was basically me except she did flute and was chinese ngl

[tawdry viper]

also interviews arent make or break either

u can have a mid interview and still get in

[frail aspen]

this is what i thought too like i didn’t get an interview so i guess they felt solid about what i should get

[vague pecan]

From your name I believe you are indian in ethnicity?

[tawdry viper]

theyre not gonna make a decisions abt u solely based off ur interview report

[vague pecan]

OK ELESA
MY REGION HAS TRENDS THAT PROVE OTHERWISE
You are a domestic
I am not arguing about domestics 😭

[summer girder]

like she was bio, did art, did theater (i do dance), taught chinese (i speak chinese semi ok and help people in my class and we actually spoke some so that was cool), she did sports stuff like karate i did karate

[vague pecan]

HEYAAAAA

[summer girder]

also talked a lot about chinesee movies and tv shows too she understood me to a T

[summer girder]

si

[tawdry viper]

what u getting mad for. Idk who ur arguing with 😭

[summer girder]

ethnicity but im domestic

[vague pecan]

Hello neighbor

[summer girder]

lmaooo

[vague pecan]

No I am stressed not mad

😭😭😭

[summer girder]

274837482732 indian ive met here

[vague pecan]

Yeah ikik

[summer girder]

not surprised anymore lMAO

[tawdry viper]

my intl friend got into yale last year

we went to yygs

[vague pecan]

You forgot the 1010110101010101 pakis

[tawdry viper]

she was from portugal

[summer girder]

ye felt as tho my interview was kinda mid even tho we had a lot in common

definitely things i couldve added/said that i regret not doing but eh

[vague pecan]

Every interview evern

[summer girder]

lowk havent met as many paki

s

east asians tho

[vague pecan]

@tawdry viper
Hopefully I'll prove you wrong this week
And update 😭

[tawdry viper]

my dumbass roomate somehow goes to uchicago

[vague pecan]

CRAZY
Like every 5/8 domestic applicant on A2C is east Asian

[tawdry viper]

just to be clear if u don't get an interview the most likely outcome is rejection

so idk what ur tryna prove me wrong about

what im tryna prove is not everynoe needs to be interviewed to get in

[vague pecan]

That interviews don't mean anything and the interview everyone
That's b.s

[vague pecan]

Yeah that's true

[summer girder]

i mean

[vague pecan]

But Ig that's just getting ppl's hope high 😭
They shouldn't be high even with 1
That's a separate thing

[tawdry viper]

thats not what im saying LMAO im saying theye not make or break and are considered holitically just like every other part of ur app 💀

[vague pecan]

You are not a very good explainer of your point

I GIVE YOU A C

[summer girder]

lately ive been kinda less crazy about attending yale but i keep seeing random yale stuff everywhere in the randomness of places

[vague pecan]

No good recs to colleges from me

[vague pecan]

Me when Harvard ☠️

[summer girder]

ive come to th wise conclusion that getting into yale or brown is only the icing on top and i'll be ok if i dont get in

[tawdry viper]

exactly

like life will move on

[summer girder]

only thing i kinda am sad abt tho is meeting people like uni and mud there if they decide to commit

[vague pecan]

Welp
I only have Harvard Yale Princeton brown darty UPenn Stanford left

So....
Cooked
OR A COOK

[tawdry viper]

[vague pecan]

Nope unfortunately

[summer girder]

[vague pecan]

Sad little figure

[summer girder]

[dusky bough]

Weird

[tawdry viper]

its not that deep

[plain rover]

y I had a question

[tawdry viper]

leave uni alone

[vague pecan]

You have pretty much leaked everything on A2C anyway 😭😭😭

[summer girder]

i gotta see that video now

[dusky bough]

my essays were:
Why major?
Idk
Why Yale?
Yale is awesome!!!
I forgot the 3rd one but I wrote:
Yale is awesome!!!

[plain rover]

Passionate or

What about your main

[summer girder]

woah i can really see te passion and sinceerity behind everyword in this message

[dusky bough]

I wrote "Yale should accept me. Idgaf about the other schools"

I also got into mich tho

20 generations of legacy helps

[summer girder]

just because someone leaks on a2c doesn't mean you should intentionally dig for stuff, yes uni did it of his own volition but his privacy still matters 💔

[opaque yarrow]

oh yeah i wrote about MIT in my mich essay

i got rejected for some reason

[vague pecan]

I LOVE VIOLATING STUFFF

[dusky bough]

thank you ❤️

[summer girder]

do u actually have 20 generations of legacy for umich man

[dusky bough]

Sorry guys
Ig I should sleep 😭

[summer girder]

because

[dusky bough]

in all seriousness, i wrote my common app about minecraft

[summer girder]

bro has his own eyes in front

[dusky bough]

my why yale was about community, research, and a class i was interested in taking

my why major was about using data science for social impact

and my 400 word essay was about discovering my identity

[summer girder]

ngl makes sense why uni got a likely

[dusky bough]

does that help? @plain rover

[plain rover]

What the

[summer girder]

[primal needle]

[pliant tusk]

[austere gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-suspicious-puppet-gif-2729624127692369191

[tawdry viper]

no point in stressing urself out 4 days before decisions

[ebon forum]

😐

[patent pumice]

did yale send any of ygs emails saying the rds are coming out on thursday? ik pton, brown, some other schools sent them out alr.

[scenic belfry]

They never sent for rea it was just listed on portal as it has been

[patent pumice]

okok tysm!

[tawdry viper]

there was no email sent, people on reddit are spreading rumours

[plain rover]

Hey yall I’m tryna see something
React w a checkmark if u got interview and react with an X if u got no interview

[tawdry viper]

@dusky bough why did u put the X? i thought you got an interview

[dusky bough]

i read wrong

whoops

[balmy solstice]

has anyone else’s financial aid bit disappeared

on the portal

[vague pecan]

Everyones

[sharp mesa]

yeah

[plain rover]

Yall why is majority getting interviews 😭😭😭

[dusky bough]

it’s 10 vs 9…

[vague pecan]

I mean ppl ahere are mostly cracked

[plain rover]

That’s majority y

[devout mulch]

dont worry i made it evenn

[plain rover]

Thx king

[quartz glacier]

Nonresponse bias

[silver osprey]

just found out english proficiency testing is required for non-native english speakers

common app says "none" for some reason. what a event

[latent mulch]

what language is your school in?

you don't need one if it's in english iirc

[silver osprey]

ernglish

[summer girder]

the data might be a bit skewed because ik at least two of them + me are from CT and usually ppl near Yale get interviews more bec more alumni availability

[summer girder]

talking about this

[plain rover]

yale buns

(pls take me)

[frail aspen]

yeah like idk how many alumni are available for alaska 💀

[devout mulch]

imma show this to your ao

[frail aspen]

so i think any chance i had at interviews were taken away because of my location but oh well

[plain rover]

there r seniors

[plain rover]

oh

[devout mulch]

mhm, dont disrepect my love

[marsh heart]

yale yale yale

boola boola

[marsh heart]

15 to 13 hmm inchresting

[silent gorge]

i made it even again🤣

[summer girder]

ngl sometimes i wonder if i got deferred because my dad works in a lab there 😭 like a courtesy deferral

[vague pecan]

HELL NAW ☠️

[summer girder]

i mean those do exist

my mind is psyching me out oml

[fervent locust]

omg getting deferred is a huge accomplishment and it's UR accomplishment!! there's def no way they would defer u out of courtesy when there are so many applicants

[meager mango]

Fellow defer gang we got this

[summer girder]

😭 gl to yall RD

[devout mulch]

deferral from yale is top tier, but now all that matters is that acceptance

[ashen oak]

i didnt get an interview from yale but my school's valedictorian did. am i cooked chat

[unborn sundial]

We're all cooked

[ashen oak]

"cmu/jhu accepted" aight bro

[plain rover]

Man my friend with pretty much no ECs got into yale so evb has hope

[frail aspen]

damn

did they have crazy grades and scores or what

[plain rover]

i think 3.98 with all 5s on like 4 ap classes and a 34 act

1 maybe 2 ecs

[ashen oak]

legacy?

[violet crown]

Define no ECs

[idle dragon]

No interview from Yale either but people at my school got one

[stable crescent]

is he a good essay writer u think

athelete?

and did he have an interview

[plain rover]

yes interview, no athlete

Music , but no audition

Probably a decent essay writier

[stable crescent]

no legacy?

[plain rover]

Not at all

[stable crescent]

fgli?

[plain rover]

what is that

[stable crescent]

first gen low income

[plain rover]

absolutely not

hes well off

[stable crescent]

is he white

maybe hes literally just built different

[plain rover]

hes white

[stable crescent]

do yall have a lot of ap's at ur school or did he take max amount or close to max at ur school

[plain rover]

He took near max amount probably but we have IB which he didnt do

[stable crescent]

oh interesting

what do u think made him stand out

r u from a rural or underrepresented state

[idle dragon]

Interesting

[plain rover]

ima be honest i got no clue he had a great story to tell in his essay

but other than that idk

we go to a shitty public hs

in Utah so not many high level apps from here but still

ima sound salt but all my friends and i got like 5x better apps ec wise and we cant even get into unc

[stable crescent]

oh maybe

utah most people go byu

[plain rover]

idc like im happy for him its his dream school but it just seems weird to me

or the U

[stable crescent]

oh hes class of 2025?

[plain rover]

ye

[stable crescent]

i mean thats good for him

thats kinda how i felt about my friend getting a likely

[plain rover]

to where? yale?

[stable crescent]

columbia

[stable crescent]

he had amazing stats, perfect 36 superscore, all 5's, but not as many ap's as other students, not as good extracurriculars as other people ik (just varsity 2 tennis for 2 years?), one leadership extracurricular thats pretty easy to get

and thast basically it

[plain rover]

damn

[stable crescent]

but he reads a lot, does well in classes, prob really good letters of rec so it makes sense that he'd get into columbia

but a likely is wild but ik someone w worse stats and ec's than him and got a likely from another high school in my city

good for my friend tho, he deserves it but im just surprised that other people that ik that are more qualified didnt even get in

maybe his essays were gas

[plain rover]

Ik

Like im not mad just suprised

[stable crescent]

where else did u apply

[plain rover]

me or him?

[stable crescent]

u

[plain rover]

Accepted:
CU Boulder
Santa Clara
Saint Mary's
U of U
UPS
Grinnell
Skidmore
Occidental
Nova
Rejected:
Northwestern
CMC
Waiting on:
USC
Rice
Duke
Yale
Stanford
Dartmouth

I didnt really apply to any super elite schools because I just feel like they wouldnt be the right fit for me, so my appsa to like duke yale stanford are rather rushed because I would def consider going if I got in.

Wbu

[latent mulch]

tbh i would be a little careful judging people because they can be quite good at hiding some of their ECs / whatever got them in

[stable crescent]

no like ik this guy really well

like i have him on snapchat and life360 and findmy and whatever

[latent mulch]

oh fr

[stable crescent]

and all he does is go to tennis tournaments

read books on his phone

and like

[plain rover]

same with me ive seen his app and known his since kindergarted

[stable crescent]

play video games

like he didnt even know what a likely meant

he was like

[plain rover]

u sure he didnt get recruited to columbia

[stable crescent]

r they hard to get

[stable crescent]

nope, hes not even on varsity one

[plain rover]

wtf

[latent mulch]

idek what the yale admissions department is looking for

and i go here

[latent mulch]

this is kinda based

[stable crescent]

yeah

i was dumbfounded

but also this happened last year at my friends school

for our like

city at least

columbia really only cares about stats and admits the person from ur school w the best stats

[latent mulch]

"is it hard to get a columbia likely"

[stable crescent]

we had one person get in from 2/3 high school in our city

[stable crescent]

no, columbia

[latent mulch]

yale definitely isn't doing that

[stable crescent]

yeah makes sense

columbia seems nerdy

w the core curriculum and allat

they need people who can last

ngl i need to sleep but i cant

got senior assassin

@latent mulch what major r u

[latent mulch]

like everyone here is smart but its not like they're 1600 maxxing or some shit, fairly good variety in APs / SAT / ACT / etc

[latent mulch]

cs (got in as a mathematics major tho)

[stable crescent]

yeah makes sense

i’m hoping the fact my high school had the last yalie in our city carries me

[latent mulch]

i switched because the major is full of cracked russians and i was getting kinda cooked

[meager mango]

Tbh yk what screw yale

They don’t want me, I don’t want them (anymore)
