[thin mortar]

😭😭

f my chungus life

[pseudo moat]

this why i need to get off social media

[frosty skiff]

got deferred 😔

anyone in the defer gang?

[hard wind]

i got in, but the financial aid offer is so terrible it's unlikely that i will be able to go. does anyone know if there is an effective way to appeal their financial aid decision?

[thin mortar]

yale tends to give generous financial aid so u should ask from what i recall a few years ago my friend was able to appeal

i think she or the school counselor sent an email

[hard wind]

thank you so much!

[native smelt]

wait yes you can appeal!

email the financial aid office

[hard wind]

i fear i straight up don't qualify for aid though 💀

does that change things

[frail vessel]

i didnt receive a package yet

[native smelt]

did you apply for aid?

[hard wind]

ahh alright, what do i say?

[frail vessel]

bc i had one missing doc

i submitted it tho, should i expect to receive one soon?

[hard wind]

yes, their letter said they've reviewed and can't offer me aid

i should hear back from my state flagship in a couple of days and am expecting at least decent aid from them, should i wait before sending?

[native smelt]

yes but yale wont match any merit aid

theyll only match need-based aid

[hard wind]

oohh, i see okay

god now i have to get into princeton 💀

[frail vessel]

if im in the negatives for SAI can i expect to get a lot 😭

[native smelt]

this is unironically what a lot of people do

[native smelt]

yes

[hard wind]

do they tend to match? or is it a tossup

i have not started princeton app.....

[native smelt]

they do

[void lichen]

Congratulations on getting in! I'd say give yourself like a day to process everything before you make any moves.

[native smelt]

they matchh all other ivy offers

[hard wind]

omg, okay thanks so much!!!! time to lock in then

[hard wind]

gotchu okay

[native smelt]

but also

[hard wind]

dang it i was lowkey about to cut two of the three ivies i was gonna apply to

[native smelt]

dont try and bank on getting into princeton

lol

[frail vessel]

sorry a lot of questions, should i just call their office tmr then?

[hard wind]

oh yeah ik 💀

[native smelt]

appeal your aid offer

[native smelt]

sure

[hard wind]

i am so, so lucky just to get in

[native smelt]

you can also email your personal financial aid counselor

[hard wind]

how do i do this without another offer to match?

[hard wind]

my what

[native smelt]

i dont know if you guys have been assigned them yet? but everyone has one depending on your last name

[hard wind]

oh, i see!

[native smelt]

lemme go find the likn

[hard wind]

i'm planning on speaking with my school counselor tomorrow

hopefully she'll know what to do

[void lichen]

I can only see my AO

[native smelt]

https://finaid.yale.edu/appointment

[hard wind]

whoa where is this

[void lichen]

I got Hannah! Which is funny because I almost name dropped her in my "why yale" when talking about the podcast 😭

[hard wind]

thank you so much

[void lichen]

If you scroll down on your portal you should see their picture and email

[hard wind]

ohhh omg i see

dang the portal completely changed lol i didn't look at that yet

thanks

[hard wind]

oops i missed this but thank you!! and congrats to you too

gosh wow everything still feels so surreal but seeing the estimated family contribution certainly sent me in the right direction lmao

[native smelt]

yeah its a lot to process

[frail vessel]

ohh okay, thank you!

[native smelt]

But scheduling a meeting with the fin aid counselor can help!

[hard wind]

what should one bring to that meeting?

[native smelt]

If u guys have any questions about yale reach out whenever!! i love answering questions about my school

[native smelt]

Hmm let me look into this

[hard wind]

thank you sm omg you are a lifesaver

bro i was only gonna apply to princeton of the other ivies but maybe i should shotgun just to see if any would have a better finaid 😭

[arctic moss]

Guys my friend got into Yale and I’m so proud of her

[hard wind]

congrats to her!!!!

[vagrant sage]

theres no way

i swear this year they focusing on people who need aid

like not strictly but ykwim more than previous years

[void lichen]

Our school* now big dawg😝😝😝

[cedar crag]

r u valedictorian of yale

[native smelt]

This just isnt true

Its just they give aid to a lot of people? Lmfao

The cutoff here is pretty high

[native smelt]

For sure not

[void lichen]

they've been pretty clear about strengthening diversity so you're not completely wrong but I dont think it disadvantaged wealthier students at all...everyone is reviewed in context

[native smelt]

Type shit boola boola!

[charred helm]

@native smelt tell your admission office to hurry up

[native smelt]

Lol when do grad apps come back

[void lichen]

There were 7140 REA apps this year...which is crazy. I for sure thought the downward trend from last year would continue

[charred helm]

Late January to April 15

I love Yale

[native smelt]

Wait remind me were u SEAS or GSAS

ECE in seas right?

[charred helm]

SEAS

[void lichen]

That one guy who said there was 112 QB admits wasn't wrong btw. According to the math, they admitted 118 Questies this cycle

[frail vessel]

is that an increase?

[solemn leaf]

gg guys imma work on my rd now 😭

[brittle forge]

maurie mccinnis. flip it around...wicked witch

[native smelt]

ive only ever seen her twice

And she was the reason we had to take out JE LUX from OC

😭

[brittle forge]

her sending that email first day of finals period and dipping had me GAGGED

ur ass did nothing wdym happy holidays

[native smelt]

chatgpt ahh email 🥀

[brittle forge]

Dear Members of the Yale Community,

When I reflect on 2025, I am grateful for all that we have accomplished together. I look forward to continuing this work in 2026. In the meantime, I wish you a holiday season filled with rest, warmth, and connection. shi was not real

[vagrant sage]

oh wtf i js found out someone from my old school in china got yale

[solemn leaf]

can I request the admission evaluation after getting rejected?

[native smelt]

to read your app file? no

[willow hill]

welp

wraps

see if u can argue for aid tho

[gray scroll]

Oh....

[lavish jolt]

Was this one brutal

[cunning flume]

Check pins for poll

[hard wind]

lmaoo yea turns out my dad may have messed up our fafsa a bit so we'll see

[unreal meteor]

ion even want to go to yale anyway 💔

[native smelt]

how’d ur exam go

[unreal meteor]

i lowk did so good

[native smelt]

period

[last elk]

Hey for y'alls why yale how are u finding info? (Applying neuroscience major possibly something with music as well)

I keep trying to look on their website and it's old or just hard to find stuff

[thin mortar]

the switchup is insane 😭

[native smelt]

well what info r u trying to find

[last elk]

Clubs id be interested in like theatre, specific labs or programs for neuro and music

[native smelt]

in terms of theater check out yale dramat!

https://www.yaledramat.org/

Theres also an abundance of acapella groups but ig thats true of all schools

For neuro labs lowk just go look through research that yale students are doing (or programs through the grad schools)

[unreal meteor]

💔

[native smelt]

Theres also the wu tsai fellowship which is specificallt for interdisciplinary neuroscience research https://wti.yale.edu/initiatives/undergraduate

[frail vessel]

check instas!

[last elk]

Thanks bro I appreciate ur help

[native smelt]

Ofc!

If u have any other questions lmk :)

[last elk]

Hope i'll get to meet u next fall

[native smelt]

Hopefully!

Believe in u

[willow hill]

are there baddies at yale

[native smelt]

yeah

Here and there

I dont think its appropriate for me to answer that question

[gray scroll]

Oh dang

[hard wind]

I found insta profiles of ppl (from my hs) who go there and see what they’re up to

and I wrote about handsome Dan their living mascot!

[pseudo moat]

what the flip

[willow hill]

my stupid question gets deleted but this doesnt 💔 make this server make sense

[vapid canyon]

i was asleep how did rea go

[native smelt]

3 ppl

oh 6 ig

[vapid canyon]

ooo

[feral cave]

Hey guyssss
What does Yale look for?

Looking to apply for RD

[native smelt]

like what do you mean specifically

[feral cave]

I meant the essence
What type of people

Nerdy or quirky or any other type of people

[feral cave]

Are you in Yale?

[native smelt]

yes

[native smelt]

like the guy before i would recommend the podcast

i think from what ive seen on campus though some shared traits are kindness, willingness to help others (not competitive) while also wanting the best for themselves, artsy

[feral cave]

I see

Would you be willing to review my supplements?(I haven't written it yet, but I will In 1-2 days)

[feral cave]

Where can I find this?

[void lichen]

They answer this really well on their website. The kingman brewster quote guided my entire application. But from how I understood, Yale feels like a very "people first" enviroment. Everything is heavily community oriented and there's a real appreciation for service and leadership in the name of doing good for others. But maybe the same could be said about other places...it just feels especially evident at Yale. "Chill but serious" very "And."

[void lichen]

Spotify!! It helped me a ton

[feral cave]

this feels like a big fit for me man

thanks

[white bane]

Hi y'all

Didn't apply to Yale, but I'm curious ab the results

[void lichen]

7140 applied. (Increase from last year)
779 accepted.
18% deferred.
118 Questbridge acceptances.

[white bane]

≈1285 deferred wow

[mellow imp]

yale

[gray scroll]

were the 779 accepted include questies?

[real spruce]

no — 897 including qb

[gray scroll]

Ok

[native smelt]

Have u taken stats 242

[real spruce]

no, but i was going to do 230 since im epe but ended up doing econometrics

[native smelt]

have u taken 242

[native smelt]

Ic

I’m doing 230 and 242 next sem i feel like 230 is chill but im scared for 242

[dull ginkgo]

This is CRAZY

[dull ginkgo]

Stats that got him rejected from Yale rea this cycle^

Grade check tease+LOR reach out for a reject is diabolical

[gray scroll]

Damn

Maybe it was the essays

[dull ginkgo]

I doubt it tbh

If they took the time to msg his LOR writers and ask counselors for grades he probably made it to committee with decent essays

[vapid canyon]

LMFAOO

how many bonks do u have bro

in that case its a guy you met on swiftplay therefore conditions are not met

[void lichen]

this is how I know God worked overtime for me fr because my stats look nothing close to that

[dull ginkgo]

😭😭

Being fgli homeless trans valedictorian with an associated degree and cracked ECs and getting flat out rejected is just nutssss

[midnight dock]

what do these colleges want man

this year has to be the hardest year by far to get into a top college

[dull ginkgo]

No deadass

[midnight dock]

oh yea idk

wackiest admission cycle by far?!

[dull ginkgo]

yea idk wtf is going on

the legacy valedictorian at my school got wailisted (IB btw) and she has hundreds of hours of community service

[gray scroll]

What county?

[hard wind]

my school in NC is quite competitive and small and i think UNC quite literally has a quota on us

nobody from my school got honors college that i know of also, despite multiple t20 acceptances so far

it’s just wacky

[midnight dock]

ncssm?

[hard wind]

nah

got lots of friends there tho

[dull ginkgo]

Meck

[gray scroll]

Ah I see

[mellow imp]

sounds woke

[mellow imp]

nah, only 230

too dumb for 242

[native smelt]

230 is light right

That’s the only reason i’m taking it

I don’t even think they’ll count it for the stats major cuz i alr took 241

😭😭😭

[past sable]

i went to yale for 4 yrs then i got a yob

https://tenor.com/view/ohio-laugh-speed-ohio-speed-ishowspeed-i-show-speed-gif-2460442527340250612

[past sable]

qro pls dont say this

i rebuke ts happening to me

also what if he lied

[dull ginkgo]

I doubt it

I msg’d him in dms

He seemed sincere

[rich dock]

like 100ish

but it can ALWAYS be more

🙏

[past sable]

he couldve exaggerated

[dull ginkgo]

Ur coping

[past sable]

i am but its still like a possibility

[vapid canyon]

it could also be that they had some sort of red flag in their app somewhere else e.g. LORs or essays

but it’s also possible that they just weren’t a good fit

[past sable]

if their stats r acc those they r insanely cracked and yale denying them mightve just been the outlier who knoqs

theyll be successful anyway

[willow hill]

yo youll be fine king 😭 yale is not allat

[midnight dock]

fr like

new haven

so bummy

[drowsy saddle]

yea ed2 nyu it sigma college

[frosty goblet]

@native smelt Do u think for the new why yale essay it would be wise to discuss how a convresation I had in the davenport courtyard led me to appreciate the value of intimatcy in ideas and being in a constant conversation in in-between spaces and how this made me wanna apply to Yale?

like I feel like they put a big emphasis on res colleges and intimate learning environment but any thoughts?

[hard wind]

unsolicited but this sounds amazing! i spoke about meeting handsome dan and seeing yale's sense of community which i think is similar (and yours is stronger lmao) but this seems really strong to my untrained eyes lol

[frosty goblet]

omg no feel free to chime in and thank you so so much!

I love handsome dan lol

[native smelt]

yes i like it

[frosty goblet]

such a cutie pie

[native smelt]

hes lowk chopped i fear

[hard wind]

yess he is just adorable

[native smelt]

oh

LMFAO

[frosty goblet]

chopped cheese but how can we hate

[hard wind]

🥀

both yale people i've talked to have beef with him

[frosty goblet]

LOL

[frosty goblet]

I just think its crazy to bring him to literally every single event lol

hes so busy

[hard wind]

but every applicant and admit i've seen love him

[frosty goblet]

I keep up with him like religiously on social media

[hard wind]

ikr bro has more social life than i do

[frosty goblet]

way more lol

[hard wind]

SAME

[frosty goblet]

did u do YYGS?

[hard wind]

nope

[frosty goblet]

I think his name is Kingsman btw lol

like his actual name

[hard wind]

yess kingman!!

[frosty goblet]

LOL

Princeton fox vs handsome dan

[hard wind]

dude he had the cutest little rainbow sweater on

ugh

[frosty goblet]

they should have a scurmish in Manhattan or something

meet halfway

[hard wind]

"In April, I had the privilege of meeting Handsome Dan XIX, who strutted around campus bundled in an elegant rainbow sweater." me when

[hard wind]

yess

[frosty goblet]

oh yes ur getting in

100%

I love that sentence

[hard wind]

[frosty goblet]

OH!

WAIT

[hard wind]

rea 💪

thank you!!!!

[frosty goblet]

HOLY CONGRATS

[hard wind]

you will too!!!!!!!!!!

[frosty goblet]

are u committing??

[frosty goblet]

Thanks!!

[frosty goblet]

this is the most aura line drop I've ever witnessed lol

"what like its hard?!"

[hard wind]

maybeeeeee!!! i think i will apply rd and look at financial aid but yale is most definitely a top choice

LMAOOO

[frosty goblet]

If I got into Yale I would only do Princeton and Harvard lol

and then just be done with it

[hard wind]

that about sums it up

columbia and princeton 🙏

[frosty goblet]

I should've done EA to yale 😭

why did I do uchicago

[hard wind]

but it's very unlikely i'd choose either over yale

[hard wind]

waitwaittt this is out tomorrow isn't it

[native smelt]

lowk if i was rea i wouldve just applied to stanford

[frosty goblet]

I'd choose pton over Yale but like its so so close

[native smelt]

i didnt apply to stanford i lowk wish i did

[frosty goblet]

really?

why so

[hard wind]

i was vacillating between the two

[frosty goblet]

I dont get the stanford hype like maybe a hot take but

[meager bloom]

omg congrats ezze!

[frosty goblet]

yeah ezze is cracked

[hard wind]

😭 thank youuuuuu

[frosty goblet]

number 1 handome dan glazer here

[hard wind]

impossible not to glaze him

he's just perfect

[native smelt]

i feel like i didnt apply js bc i didnt think i would get in

[frosty goblet]

a face only a mother could love!

[hard wind]

dude stanford is the school i keep adding and then dropping and then putting back and then removing again........

[native smelt]

idk what it is about stanford but like i feel like i wouldve liked in

[hard wind]

maybe this is my sign

[native smelt]

just apply

[frosty goblet]

I hear this alot but ur at Yale so ur definitely had a very very good shot

[hard wind]

no time tho 😔🥀

[meager bloom]

i ultimately do not care where i end up and im just more excited to put out options for myself

[native smelt]

worst case scenario u dont get in

[frosty goblet]

100% apply

[hard wind]

oh the horror

[native smelt]

oops

[meager bloom]

columbia is definitely my top choice though

[hard wind]

LMAOO

[native smelt]

and if u dont get in its not like ur going somewhere bad

LMFAO

[hard wind]

i was like oh if that's the worst case lmaoooo

[frosty goblet]

i wsa just working on thier supps today LOl

[native smelt]

and then if u get in u just make the deicision

[hard wind]

i did adore stanford's supps

[frosty goblet]

bro has options!! 😭

[hard wind]

not that i've written anything but a single fifty-word

but

😃

[frosty goblet]

I honestly think Stanford campus is ugly asf dont hate!

[native smelt]

i miss yale

[hard wind]

it's definitely unique lmao

[frosty goblet]

"what historical event..." nahhh wrap it up

[meager bloom]

la quinta

[frosty goblet]

very and not in a good way LOL

[meager bloom]

the historical event i wanted to put it is too recent

[frosty goblet]

HAHA

[hard wind]

bro my friend wrote about hawking's time traveler party and it was the most glorious thing i've ever read and he still got rejected

[meager bloom]

like 2024 recent

[frosty goblet]

LOL so real

[hard wind]

i have beef with stanford now

[frosty goblet]

omg wtf

[meager bloom]

and idt a 2024 event is a good pick for historical

[frosty goblet]

I was gonna say some basic ahh shit

[meager bloom]

though it was so monumental

[hard wind]

dude same

[frosty goblet]

"constitutional convention signing!!" instant admit

[hard wind]

i was like hm i would want to meet x author while they were alive

hm i would want to see x famous person's x monumental life event

[frosty goblet]

I think I said I wanted to see Pablo Picasso paint 😭

[hard wind]

yooo that's sick tho

[frosty goblet]

yeah this is what I was gonna do LOL

[hard wind]

it depends idk i feel like could work

[meager bloom]

its like

wait let me dm you what i wrote

[frosty goblet]

the only thing i would caution is it says "you wish you could be ALIVE to see"

or whatveer

[hard wind]

hm this is true

What historical moment or event do you wish you could have witnessed?

ig if you were alive during it that's sorta beside the point? but it depends idk

[shy zinc]

yeah

[frosty goblet]

Ik like colleges dont particularly like it when students dont answer the actual question correctly

so even if ur 2024 thing is probably good

I'd recommend against it

bc it kinda might feel like u copied and pasted from another college

or rushed it

or didn't care enough type thing

[shy zinc]

the questions are vaguely supposed to be thought provoking. almost universally, an event farther from one’s existence in either time or space requires a little more inspiration, a brighter flicker of imagination

[terse kestrel]

yeah my friends at stanford say the same ab yale

[shy zinc]

yeah i think it’s supposed to make you think a little

[meager bloom]

oh ur so right

my mind blanked on that

wait i dont think it says alive

but regardless thanks

[shy zinc]

it does not

i do think that general principle holds true though

[meager bloom]

yeah i do now as well

i think i have a stronger idea though of where to go!

[frosty goblet]

Oh my bad but something along those lines lol

[void lichen]

very crucial note: the "why yale" essay is meant to be about you in relation to yale. that conversation is a perfect example of that. they changed the question this year for the exact reason that they were tired of hearing about Yale and not enough about the applicant. listen to "application update 25-26" Mark goes really in-depth on what works. I didnt talk about yale that much, didn't name-drop any professors or anything...just what about me could I find in Yale

[frosty goblet]

Yes thank you so much for bringing this up. I listened to that episode a few months ago and I am so glad I did!

[frosty goblet]

Hey you still got into Yale man CONGRATS

im so jealous lol

[void lichen]

I recommend listening to all them and taking it all to heart, because that advice was genuinely so helpful

[frosty goblet]

I've listended to like almost all of them....

😭

I really really love that resource lol

[void lichen]

Real. Hannah actually turned to be my AO!

[void lichen]

Thank you! Goodluck with your application.💕

[frosty goblet]

OMG!

Did u meet her???

I love Mark lol hes so funny

I lowk hope hes my AO but idk how I would know that

[void lichen]

Well no...I'll only be on campus next fall. I sent her an email this morning though, excited to hear back

[void lichen]

He's openly said which regions he reads for i think, somewhere in the midwest

[frosty goblet]

oh did they tell you like after you got in that it was hanah or something lol 😭

my bad I forgot you're not on campus 😭

[frosty goblet]

wait which episode is this... Im in the midwest....

[hard wind]

yess i so agree! it’s such a short essay really… but i spent the vast majority of it speaking about handsome Dan representing the community i could see myself fitting into, and only devoted like 1.5 sentences to briefly stating some of the clubs and programs i’d be interested in

[frosty goblet]

I think this is rlly good advice for colleges in general

like they want to know about YOU, not the 30 programs they already know about you said you'd do

[sharp flume]

some wants to know about your research of the college

all of it depends on the prompt

[frosty goblet]

ahh good point

[hard wind]

yeahh Princeton’s asks why does princetons specific programs suit you

so that makes me think they really do want extensive research

[frosty goblet]

its the way I was just typing this exact statement out before you sent it...

[frosty goblet]

ya thats why i love princeton lol

[hard wind]

lmaooo

[sharp flume]

yep and for my ed college i did very very extensive research and mentioned some events even the current studs got surprised lol

[hard wind]

but also, they still wanna see genuine interest and some less quantifiable traits too

[sharp flume]

still rejected

[hard wind]

noooo

[sharp flume]

lol

[frosty goblet]

I feel like for those short takes like you 100% should just be fully human

[sharp flume]

just be quirky for short takes

[frosty goblet]

like absolutely no like trying to relate back to school (unless it just works like very very well)

[frosty goblet]

my thoughts exactly lol

[hard wind]

yea fs

[frosty goblet]

quirky = admissions! (jk)

but it def makes u more human

as long as ur not faking it

[hard wind]

yessss

[frosty goblet]

wait ezze can i DM you

[hard wind]

yea ofc

i highkey gotta go in a sec im gonna be late for work lmaooo

but feel free!!!

[frosty goblet]

no worries lol Ill I was just gonna ask about some of my essays to yale lol

[sharp flume]

lol ezze would you like to criticize my ps

[hard wind]

yeaa go for it! I’ll respond when i can lol

[hard wind]

sure😭

[frosty goblet]

lets keep ezze busy LOL 😭

[sharp flume]

yeah with great schools comes great responsibilities

xD

[frosty goblet]

if I got in I'd be helping everyone lol 😭

[hard wind]

lmaoooo

[void lichen]

Yess they put in your portal and give you their email address

[void lichen]

I cant remember but logically it would be something that talks about the reading process I think

So maybe reading, reading reloaded or committee

[frosty goblet]

Ah okay yeah thank you!

[void lichen]

My entire application felt very deep and I used the short takes to just be an idiot

[void lichen]

Doing that rn!! Like I hated the process but helping others? Too fun

[frosty goblet]

Why is this exactly the Strat I’m doing 😭😭

It MUST be the method lol

I think the yalies might like to see this

[void lichen]

I didn't want to go harvard so bad bro. The thought of having to apply there made me cry😭😭😭

Huck farvard fr

[frosty goblet]

Lmao 😭😭

Their supplements are not super fun

[void lichen]

It feels like...idk man it doesn't feel like you can find a home there

[frosty goblet]

Yales I loved I breezed through them

[frosty goblet]

No I 150% get this lol

[void lichen]

like no fun AT all. so terrible

[frosty goblet]

Like the people you talk to at Princeton and Yale glaze it so hard

Harvard it seems a bit different

[frosty goblet]

What do you wanna do in the future? Get out

[void lichen]

It works fr. As long as you're being authentic

[gray scroll]

This is so helpful tysm

[void lichen]

its not even that fr. yale lowkey gives you an opportunity to do the same thing, its just that harvard doesnt seem very interested in actually knowing what makes me tick or something

[gray scroll]

So when u say th3 essay is supposed to be about you. You mean like personally giving the aos an insight as to why yale is thr college for me

But not including things they alr know like classes, clubs, or sports they offer

[frosty goblet]

Ah yes I get what you’re saying

Like Yale really wants to know you as a person

[void lichen]

Yes...it's a tricky balance but yes. I can give you mine as an example?

[gray scroll]

Yes please!

[frosty goblet]

Harvard (besides roommate essay) is very interested in your future

[gray scroll]

;0

They want to see how we'll thrive on the college campus and what we'll contribute to it there

[frosty goblet]

It’s tricky bc you don’t wanna sound like you just like the “vibes” of Yale

[gray scroll]

Okay I see

[frosty goblet]

But also you don’t wanna sound like brochure

So it’s that balance

Like just writing about the Yaffle is not gonna be good

[gray scroll]

Lmaoo

[frosty goblet]

But maybe writing about how the dining hall makes you feel will be much better lol

[gray scroll]

LOLL

[frosty goblet]

SEE where that’s going lol

[gray scroll]

There dining hall really is good

[frosty goblet]

Okay I did YYGS and i was lowk disappointed

[gray scroll]

Whatt

[frosty goblet]

Idk if they give us the worse food (probably)

LOL

no bc I still see TikTok’s and it looks so good…

Like I’m rlly confused

[gray scroll]

I think its cause it was a summer program

That happened at unc with me

[frosty goblet]

Yeah I 100% agree

Bc they can get away with worse food

As it’s summer

[gray scroll]

Thats disappointing to hear

Always in the summer the foods change

[void lichen]

Mine was actually very vibes heavy😭

[frosty goblet]

LOVELY

I love that essay

[void lichen]

just as a warning to the general public, plagiarism could really backfire since the Admissions Office has already seen this 😭

[frosty goblet]

Also yeah love to see the YYGS/YYAS representation 🥹🥹

[gray scroll]

This is tea

Whats yyas?

[frosty goblet]

Oh yeah not copying it has too much aura for me to copy lol

[gray scroll]

No one would be stupid enough to do this

[frosty goblet]

Yale young African scholars

[frosty goblet]

You’d be surprised… lol

[gray scroll]

Why did i think iron man was white girl ToT

Whats the jackson school and ymau

[void lichen]

Thank youuu. It took so many revisions 😭😭😭 I am extremely proud of it fr

[void lichen]

Ppl are actually unbelievable hey. You would think so 😭

[frosty goblet]

See like you said it’s vibes based, it is, but in a grounded way

[void lichen]

I'm crying😭 why did you actually??????

[sharp flume]

yale loves africa

fr

[frosty goblet]

Like when I said vibes based I meant like “I can see myself walking to get a Yaffle and taking handsome Dan to the library with me”

[void lichen]

Changed myyyy lifffeeee. That's genuinely the only reason i applied. My yyas advisor is my favourite person on earth

[gray scroll]

I'm not sure 😓

[sharp flume]

yaffle is common

[void lichen]

Terrible

[frosty goblet]

YYGS literally changed me like those were the best 2 weeks of my life

[gray scroll]

What is yaffle

All this yale lingo ToT

[frosty goblet]

It’s a waffle with a Yale Y in it lol

[gray scroll]

Lmfaoo

[gray scroll]

I wanted to do that so bad

My parents refused to let me apply

[frosty goblet]

They had very good aid which is why I did it

And I didn’t even apply for it at first

[gray scroll]

I told them that and they didn't care

They thiught it was worthless

💔

[frosty goblet]

I mean in terms of chances it’s not gonna do much but just in a personal life it was profound

At least in my opinion

I’ve never had that level of freedom before

[gray scroll]

I wanted to do it to experience life at Yale, meet new people, and have freedom

I wasn't planning on relying it to get into yale

[void lichen]

I tried to write a "why yale" like this. I actually loved the concept so much but I couldn't fit it into the word count and show enough of myself. But it was something along the lines of
"Yaffle. Yague. Yuttle.
At Yale, even waffles, a cold or a shuttle take on new meaning once claimed by the community."

[gray scroll]

So poetic ToT

[void lichen]

I wanted to do YYGS so bad next year but I already graduated highschool 😔

[void lichen]

Huge reason I applied

[gray scroll]

All this talk is making me smile about yale 🐶

I planned on saving them last to work on but I have a better insight on how to write there why us essay

[sharp flume]

am I cooked if I havent started my yale supps yet

[void lichen]

I would say yale Supps are genuinely the easiest to write if its the right fit for you. They're really fun and you should enjoy answering them

[gray scroll]

That's how I felt with ncsu

[gray scroll]

I havent either

[sharp flume]

i also decided to rewrite my PS lol

so cooked

[gray scroll]

Ngl ive been thinking abt this

[sharp flume]

should we trade twin

lol

[gray scroll]

I worry it's too much diversity and maybe that's why Ive been getting deffered

LMFAOOO

[sharp flume]

deferred from where

lol

[gray scroll]

Clemson and yesterday waitlisted from unc

[sharp flume]

oof i am sorry

[gray scroll]

Its fine it's just a shock

These next months are gonna be rough

[sharp flume]

i just gaslighted myself that i got rejected for asking aid

LMFAO

[gray scroll]

LMFAOO

They didn't have enough money to give out

[sharp flume]

i am intl

so yeah

sucks

[gray scroll]

Oh

Yeah it's definitely harder

[mellow imp]

personal favourite is the yale hub

which is officially the "yub"

like the website is yub.yale.edu lmfao

[elder barn]

ooo yyas which country are you from?

[gray scroll]

Ooh

[willow hill]

“reading applications we liked” ur gonna be on there

[runic rover]

how do u see ur AO

[vapid canyon]

based on your region you may be able to find the regional AO

ik for princeton and columbia they had a site/pdf that showed who the ao was and for which regions

if you mean like AO on the main committee then i dont know if you are assigned one/can see who it is until you get in

[runic rover]

wait pton link ???

[frosty goblet]

Was it a mistake for me to not apply REA?

im lowk like regretting not doing that

bc its my top choice and I did YYGS (not bc that helps but bc it signals interest/fit) idk

like are my chances worse in RD?

[vapid canyon]

honestly it doesn’t really make a difference

only difference is you find out earlier/later

[vapid canyon]

i’ll ping u in the pton thread

[elder barn]

My interviewer bless her soul 🥲

[elder barn]

naw they explicitly mentioned that rea does not provide a boost in odds

[hard wind]

harvard people are snobbish bro

anyways if anybody needs help with supps or anything i gotchu, I’m doing anything i can to avoid RD supps

[shy zinc]

because nobody actually really wants to go to harvard, they just apply because it's #1. there's a lot more value and a lot more character in going to the #2 school.

[hard wind]

weird question how do you say ur name bc every time i see it i only think of donuts

[shy zinc]

i am not sure if you were deferred or rejected, however, if you were deferred, it is possible to turn your interviewer into a champion. there have been cases where the interviewer either writes to the office or calls the office using their position as an alumni interviewer to advocate for a student they particularly enjoyed (e.g. "best in my career after interviewing yale applicants for 20 years"). if you believe that your interviewer can be someone who can go to bat for you, i would encourage you to invite her onto team kaz.

[shy zinc]

yo as in yo what's up
tiao as in tea-ow (tea for cup, first part of ouch) said really quickly

[hard wind]

no wait yes like what’s the intonation

[shy zinc]

it's the chinese fried dough stick thing

[hard wind]

OHHH IT IS

okay omg

that’s what i was thinking

[shy zinc]

Yóutiáo
油条

[shy zinc]

yes you would be correct

[hard wind]

THANK YOU

I wasn’t sure if it was ur actual name or smth and I was just thinking of the food💀

[shy zinc]

LMAO

[shy zinc]

my name is yuntiao but everybody misread it so now it's become youtiao

😭

[hard wind]

ohhh omg😭😭😭

that’s funny

[vapid canyon]

fried dough stick

i guess some people think of youtiao as chinese donuts

so maybe

[hard wind]

yess ik what it is!

[shy zinc]

ehh no

[hard wind]

it was js easier to say donut lol

[vapid canyon]

LOL

bro im lowkey craving youtiao now

elite breakfast

[hard wind]

REA acceptance rate is higher but there are more strong applicants in the pool not to mention athletes and such

[hard wind]

REAL

[shy zinc]

if you are meant to get in you will get in. not because of fate or anything weird like that, but because the entire situation is so out of your control once the application leaves your hands that it's easier to designate the wildly unpredictable nature of decisions as a luck-based process where the outcome is decided by an anonymous, omniscient third party entity, which, in a way, it is.

[elder barn]

I was deferred, but I don't think I want to put her in that position (feels awkward to ask asw 😭) She is a senior interviewer, so I'm not sure if that even works in my case haha. Thanks for the advice and insight though!! :)

[elder barn]

youtiao + congee is so peak

[vapid canyon]

bro not to self glaze but sweet doujiang 🤤

[shy zinc]

the best things hide behind a few awkward conversations... with that being said, if she's a senior interviewer then i don't believe this applies.

[elder barn]

wise words!! But yeah i thought so, its basically asking her to talk to her bosses about making mistakes

now its all up to fate, not gonna dwell too much on it gotta lock in to finalize my rd supps

[native smelt]

Who has taken phil 175

[gray scroll]

Can u do thr same for me

[frosty goblet]

My friends who I did this like known competitive internship with like 10 of them (there were like 20 of us) applied to Harvard Rea and all got in

So I was like shit maybe I could’ve done REA but who knows 🤷‍♂️

I always thought that RD would give me a better shot but I like just wanna be done with college apps and know where I’m going I’m so sick hs lol

[willow hill]

stacked friend group

[frosty goblet]

Ikr 😭😭

He was like “me, him, him, her, her, and him” got in

Like okay damn

Didn’t know I was walking amongst the power elite just a few months ago 😭😭

[willow hill]

in terms of time to write ur app ig

[willow hill]

LMAO

[void lichen]

Yabbreviations are so elite😭😭

[void lichen]

South Africa! (Coolest on the planet)

[void lichen]

Something my friend said always stuck with me. "It doesn't matter if you apply early. If they don't want you, they don't want you." I think for certain schools, if you stand out in early you stand out in RD tbh. That's why people get deferred, because AOs need to figure out if they'll still stand out in RD. Take this with a grain of salt though, as some schools do clearly give an advantage to ED apps

[native smelt]

first year dinner was just a little overstimulating

[frosty goblet]

I wanna hear about the world's most controversial dinner lol

[native smelt]

but it was fun

[frosty goblet]

it looks that way

[native smelt]

i mean i just showed up a lil drunk and took pictures with my friends

[frosty goblet]

lol

[native smelt]

if i was sober the whole time i would’ve just been stressed lol

it’s like 1600 ppl in one room

[frosty goblet]

not commons being overstimulating lol

[frosty goblet]

oh wow

[native smelt]

LMFAO

and then there’s like not enough food

it’s a lot of mini plates

[frosty goblet]

1600 people in the room with 1600s on their SAT

[frosty goblet]

WHAt 😭

[native smelt]

and then they have the parade but the sushi ran out in like 3 mins

[frosty goblet]

oh see tiktokt didnt tell me that

every year i see the same thing and its like "while peopel are starving yale kids are taking all the food!"

[native smelt]

well this is also true

[frosty goblet]

what do you think about that

[native smelt]

but they give all the food to new haven food shelters after

[lapis silo]

I'm mentioning the dining hall in the 100 why us I have to do now

[native smelt]

people are being dramatic but it’s not false

[frosty goblet]

guys the northeast is also 10000x times better than the midwest

so dont woory about chicago

[native smelt]

but like out of everything to complain about yales relationship to new haven

that’s an interesting one to nitpick lol

[frosty goblet]

do you think Yale like their relationbship with new haven is still kinda bad?

[frosty goblet]

I thought so too lol

[native smelt]

yes but it’s getting better

[frosty goblet]

I just think the optics of how that looks especially since it seems like a lot of the hospitality workers are POC like it raises a lot of eyebrows

[native smelt]

yeah

[frosty goblet]

since its so well captured on social media

but I think isnt Yale like the number 1 employer in NH?

[native smelt]

yes

[frosty goblet]

and im assuming there is a large POC population in NH but I could be wrong

[white bane]

Chappell roan reference

[native smelt]

so it’s complicated

[frosty goblet]

wait really?? what song

[frosty goblet]

very complicated. I air on the side of thinking Yale is trying to do the right thing. They've just had a very deep history with NH

which is very tough

[native smelt]

yeah

[white bane]

The album titled The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess

[white bane]

LOL

[frosty goblet]

she moved to LA though lol

but the midwest is horrible imo (lifelong resident!)

[frosty goblet]

oh whats ur opinion on harvard btw

compared to princeton

[white bane]

Why (i haven't touched the US)

[native smelt]

i dont fw harvard but i also have yale in my blood

[white bane]

Am i the only one currently texting who isn't American

[native smelt]

i have some friends at pton an they think it’s really hard

i think she needs to give it some time tho

[white bane]

Because i really need to sleep... 02:20...

[frosty goblet]

super boring, absolutely no cultural trends (every single major trend reaches like 5 years later and its watered down and not good), cities are very meh (chicago is fine but thats literally it lol)

[frosty goblet]

probably not as terrible as chciago 😭

college of doom and despair ig

[frosty goblet]

for some reason I dont hear a lot of love for H

like often

I usually always hear it for Y and P

but then H it seems like idk

[gray scroll]

Wait wdym

Curriculum wise?

[frosty goblet]

They have very aggressive grade deflation

Yale has quite a decent amt of grade inflation I’ve heard

So it’s not as challenging to do well academically

[sweet basalt]

Will yale throw up at the sight of the 3 on my ap lang exam

💀

[spice eagle]

u could always not report it

[sweet basalt]

well I’m submitting that instead of my sat score 😭😭

they’ll definitely throw up at my ap world score

[native smelt]

this is a lie

[frosty goblet]

Oops

[native smelt]

Grade inflation doesn’t mean it’s easy lol

It just means it’s hard to fail

[frosty goblet]

No no not easy by any means but not as like hard to get a bad grade

It’s very hard

It’s Yale lol

[native smelt]

It’s hard to get below b-

[frosty goblet]

I didn’t mean for it to come off that way at all

[native smelt]

Oh ic

No it’s just so often ppl
will be like yeah yale is so easy

but it’s like

Hard af lol

[sweet basalt]

I still can’t believe I scored a 2 on the ap world exam

💀💀

[frosty goblet]

No way this is crazy

There’s no way an ivy is easy 💀💀

[void lichen]

We are living in the real hunger games. Do you fear you'll get drafted for the patriotic games

[shy zinc]

uni would win

[gray scroll]

Yes pton does unfortunately

[gray scroll]

LMFAOO

[still plinth]

am i cooked if yale already took 2 from REA from my school

[native smelt]

no

[elder barn]

goated, I’m in Cape Town rn can I dm you??

[sharp flume]

@hard wind i had dm'ed the caps

[sharp flume]

i heard they got baddies

[elder barn]

I like guys but they do fr

[sharp flume]

wait oh

[void lichen]

Oh shoot, of course

[white bane]

My mom doesn’t want me applying to Chicago lmao

[shy zinc]

no

[frosty goblet]

yeah I mean like the campus is beautiful but the city imo is meh

maybe its bc I've grown up going to it and gotten bored

but like idk

theres some good restaurants

but I mean not too much to do

and uchicago is pretty far from most of the "exciting" things

in that regard Northwestern is definitely in a better physical location

but northwestern's campus is meh to me lol

[white bane]

No she says it’s because of the pewpew

[night briar]

this is why i'm still hesitant about applying to WashU

like what is it out there in Missouri 😭

[native smelt]

No wonder everyone’s gpa is so high

Why are we credit d failing a b+ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[frosty goblet]

a lot of kisd from my school like that school or apply to it

but its bc they dont want to leave the midwest

WashU to me is like idk whats so special abt it

like I've ehard the premed was good

but one of my friends literally only wanted to apply bc their dorms are good

💀

and missouri......

I've never even been there

[sharp flume]

WashU food is good

[frosty goblet]

bowdoin, yale, princeton, etc probably all better lol

[night briar]

yeah i read about that

[frosty goblet]

Harvard's food though what is going on.....

that looks inedible

[sharp flume]

no but washU has it’s own vibe

[frosty goblet]

oh really/?

[sharp flume]

and it’s not as selective as Princeton or yale

[night briar]

i was considering it bcz they give good aid for internationals but i was like Missouri? 😭 idk i was afraid the vibe is gonna be too 'American' and midwest-y

[frosty goblet]

I shouldn't be hating lowk I haven't done my reserarch

[frosty goblet]

for some reason I thought it was like right up there with them but this makes sense

[sharp flume]

yeah it’s almost similar to yale but they are not generous with aid

WashU is extremely stingy

[frosty goblet]

ohh ur international ok

so missouri yes

[night briar]

yes

[frosty goblet]

its not gonna be the idealized america lol

if u want that u have to go to the coasts

[sharp flume]

best is boston

College city

[frosty goblet]

however, if u watch some American movies that are in the midwest it might give those vibes

which are not good imo LOL

[sharp flume]

New haven kinda

Ah

[frosty goblet]

I agree boston is amazing

esp for a history kid omg

[night briar]

at least the ivies are close to nyc which i LOVE and ig they're in states that are more culturally diverse (i might be wrong)

[frosty goblet]

New Haven is lowk like their pizza is simply amazing (way better than NY lol)

[sharp flume]

trust nyc is not as good as pictures

[night briar]

i love the vibe in Oregon but idk if they have good colleges

[frosty goblet]

but city is kinda meh

[frosty goblet]

depends where u go and how much money one has Hhahha

[sharp flume]

I think i love connecticut

[night briar]

i've been there and i loved it. yeah it sucks at some aspects but for me it's worth it

[sharp flume]

For sm reason

[native smelt]

new haven is actually really close to nyc

[frosty goblet]

CT is great

[native smelt]

my friend goes to nyu she visits me all the time

[frosty goblet]

a lot of my fam lives there

[night briar]

nothing beats nyc's cultural & ethnic diversity

[native smelt]

like a 90 minute train ride

[frosty goblet]

does she hang out with Barron a lot

[night briar]

yeah! when i was there i took an Amtrak

it's so convenient

[native smelt]

and it’s max 20 dollars

[native smelt]

LMFAO

he has too much security

[frosty goblet]

Metro North saving the day again 😭

[sharp flume]

does barron even do classes

[frosty goblet]

his life at NYU looks miserable lol

[native smelt]

lowk new haven is the best central location

close to providence close to nyc close to boston

[frosty goblet]

he does but with 20 Secret service officers lol

[native smelt]

so it’s easy for everyone to come to me

[frosty goblet]

yeah 2 hours to both boston and nyc about

[native smelt]

and for me to go to ppl

[native smelt]

bostons a little longer

the bus is usually cheaper but train is faster

[sharp flume]

I mean as intls who cares about locations

[frosty goblet]

How is it with the Acela??

[native smelt]

but if u buy in advance boston isn’t too bad

[sharp flume]

All of those will be new and enriching for me

[native smelt]

oh thé acela is quick

[frosty goblet]

my number 1 goal is to ride the new acela

[night briar]

you don't? 😭

[native smelt]

but y have to buy in advance

[night briar]

it's a priority for me

[frosty goblet]

as it should be lol

[night briar]

exactly

the more diverse the environment is the better

[sharp flume]

yeah I don’t lol because all of those will be new for me and every college has their own community to vibe with so location almost doesn’t matter to me 😭

[frosty goblet]

usually the coasts are the best part of the US thats where all of the cultural acitvity happens (the middle of American, which is like 90% of it) has not much going on tbh lol

they are called fly over states 😭

[sharp flume]

Best state is MA

[frosty goblet]

bro are we the same person lol

MA is the absolute best

[sharp flume]

hell yeah

[frosty goblet]

no other state even comes close

"The Spirit of America"

MA I love them bc of how good their public services are

amazing education

amazing healthcare for everyone

not to get political but I think they do a good job

[night briar]

this is true but you'll most likely find a group of ppl to belong to and resonate with in schools that have a more diverse student body. also the location is important bcz what if you wanna go out on the weekends. like i wanna live in a place where the cultural and art scene are active. it's all abt preference

[night briar]

oh 😭 makes sense

[frosty goblet]

definitely do not apply to WashU then

[night briar]

yeah no 😭

[sharp flume]

yep true but as I am an intl seeking aid, I don’t think I can afford those preferences 😭😭😭

[frosty goblet]

You're gonna 100% like the coasts (mainly the Northeast Corridor which has almost every ivy league and runs from Washington to Boston)

and then California

(Bay Area and LA)

that is where pretty much any and all of the culture comes from lol

like every place has its culture but if u want like global culture

those areas 100%

[mellow imp]

yale

[frosty goblet]

yale is great bc its directly on the northeast corridor

[sharp flume]

yale is the most nonchalant ivy

and the coolest

And with most baddies

[mellow imp]

MA is truly the most competent state

[night briar]

fair enough but you should look more into it bcz such activities outside of college are as important (at least in my opinion) and they'll help you cope with academic stress and burnout

[mellow imp]

this is not true

[mellow imp]

hate to disappoint but the SEC has us beat

[sharp flume]

i have seen some pretty ppl😭

not some

[frosty goblet]

also idk ur political views but just for your info (if you care), the vast majority of interior states are more conservative and pretty much every single coastal state is liberal

[sharp flume]

But a lot

[frosty goblet]

just for information

[night briar]

cool thanks for directing me!

[frosty goblet]

I genuinely love them so much

[night briar]

i'm SOO liberal LMAO

i mean obviously

[frosty goblet]

of course please ask more questions as they arise lol Im obsessed with talking ab this stuff lol

[sharp flume]

Whats SEC

[night briar]

thanks!

[frosty goblet]

oh yeah same and thats why I like the coasts a lot too lol

[night briar]

what do you think of Emory?

[frosty goblet]

im gonna be honest like the US is not that liberal as a whole (look at our president) but like the coasts are very liberal

and they are jam pakced with people

which is why it can seem liberal

[mellow imp]

its all the big southern schools lol

[frosty goblet]

but the mass majority is not

[frosty goblet]

this is a good school too

[mellow imp]

ASU too

[native smelt]

lol

I hate yale men

[mellow imp]

you heard abt the ASU effect

shi is real

[sharp flume]

I love yale women

[frosty goblet]

I hate SEC schools lol

[night briar]

yeah. honestly i'm only concerned about finding ppl that i'm gonna vibe with which i think i will find in areas you mentioned

[frosty goblet]

@night briar I wouldn't reccommend SEC schools lol

[sharp flume]

how can they be good at everything stats+aura+facecard

[mellow imp]

i was born to attend a big football school with tailgating but i had to go to yale

sad

[sharp flume]

bruh

[night briar]

what are those

[mellow imp]

you wouldnt get it

[native smelt]

u didn’t fw harvard finals club tailgate

[frosty goblet]

based on what you've said I think 100% stick to the coasts (especially northeast) or California

[native smelt]

💀💀💀

[frosty goblet]

they are huge huge party state schools in the south lol

very focused on sports,etc

[mellow imp]

nah and once a year is NOT the same

[sharp flume]

we need ualabama

[night briar]

great! do you think i'd like Bowdoin? i'm applying there but it's a bit isolated right?

[native smelt]

next sem im gonna pre all the basketball games

i WILL be at yale pton

[night briar]

i do like the Maine nature vibe tho but idk

[night briar]
