Yale University (2025-2026)

[meager bloom]

not the best tho

[worldly holly]

i had to turn it into a whole coming to terms with my masculinity sort of thing

[meager bloom]

were u drinking on campus

[worldly holly]

it was super self-aware and all

[proud garnet]

did you write it abt it for ur essay

[worldly holly]

nah public bus

[meager bloom]

school bus or a public bus

[worldly holly]

theres a section where you get like 400 words or so to explain what happened and what you learnt

[worldly holly]

public

[meager bloom]

so why the hell 😭

[worldly holly]

catholic school and whatnot

such is life

dont even drink asw

[worldly holly]

i think it'll be one of those things where a more laid back ao might like it

but a super strict one would js auto reject

[meager bloom]

well

if anything itll be like

if candidate x is close to u comparably and its between u two

u have a suspension for drinking, they dont

if u get to committee

[worldly holly]

yeah makes sense

i think my application is definitely unique, not in the sense that im better but i dont feel like my ecs or story is all that common amongst ppl applying to schools like yale

but tbf theres like a million people applying so theres probably a couple

[meager bloom]

are you international?

[worldly holly]

yhyh

[meager bloom]

oh so that may make it harder

both to get an interview + with ur suspension

[worldly holly]

basically the main reason i applied was cuz i got into some like 7% acceptance rate programme that pretty much acts as ur counselor since u wouldnt have one as an intl right

and in that i put down my suspension , and so did a good portion of others who got in

[meager bloom]

that doesnt mean anything when it comes to yale

[worldly holly]

so i was js like its not ideal but its obvs not bad enough that it isnt worth it to apply

[meager bloom]

u getting accepted to a low acceptance rate program has no correlation with ur yale decision

[worldly holly]

yea ik im not saying that

3 ppl on that programme applied yale last year none got in

[gray scroll]

Real except no one else ik applied ed

[rich grotto]

Is it true to Handsome Dan is slightly inbred 😭 @native smelt

Jokes aside I met my undergrad person! She’s so nice omg 😭

[native smelt]

yeah he’s lowk chopped as fuck

[native smelt]

wait yay who was it

is it a first year

[rich grotto]

nopee she's a junior! Her name is Adalen and she was so nice 😭

[rich grotto]

noo help 😭 not-so-handsome dan 💔

[native smelt]

wait

don’t doxx

but i follow her on instagram lol

idt i’ve ever met her tho

[broken python]

not always, mine wasn't structured at all lol

[static grove]

no interview but I submitted w/ the extension so that's not surprising

lwk it's sad b/c I've actually started to really like yale

but like i'm def not getting in

so...

[meager bloom]

thats not how that works 😭

[static grove]

really? I thought inthe yale podcast they say they send regional alum groups lists of people once they process them

so they can start organizing interviews

[meager bloom]

yale admissions office pre screens ur app > decide they want more info from u > name is sent to regional asc > interview is conducted if applicant wants

[static grove]

wait no yale's is different why am i geeked

[meager bloom]

lol js relax

[static grove]

i mean I'm not really geeked abt the interview

i'm totally zen and shizzle

[upbeat portal]

I didn’t get one too which is disappointing 😭😭

[meager bloom]

also remember that yale lost a ton of alumni interviewers this year

[static grove]

you don't know why you didn't get one, so there'sno point in speculating

maybe there weren't enough local alumni

maybe they decided they don't need extra info on your personality/character

[upbeat portal]

I live in a very big city there is def enough alumni + ppl in my city got one

[static grove]

maybe they remember your name as the man who killed their father years ago, adnd they've begun plotting revenge...

[upbeat portal]

And my friend got a likely letter already

[static grove]

yes but being in a big city also means there's more people who need to be iunterviewed

[upbeat portal]

Yea true

[static grove]

especially if you live in cali/the northeast where LOTof people apply

[upbeat portal]

I live in tezas

Texas

[static grove]

don't stress abt it b/c you can't really control it

[static grove]

also a lot of applicants

[meager bloom]

not necessarily

[somber talon]

True

What's done is done

[meager bloom]

amen

[static grove]

i mean sure, i'm sure there's exceptions

but you would expect that ceteris paribus (holy buzzword) moreppl in an area means more yale applicants from that area

[somber talon]

But idk anything can happen. I live in rural upstate ny and i was really happy to get an interviewer who lived 30 minutes away from me

[static grove]

it doesn't need to be 100% true every time to be a good rule of thumb

[meager bloom]

im from a rural part of colorado and i drove 2 hours to an interview

so lowk yale makes it work if they want an interview out of u

#anya and i r #proof

[static grove]

https://klipy.com/gifs/ishowspeed-meme

[somber talon]

they work u like a dog...or should i say...bulldog...

[meager bloom]

now thats boola

[somber talon]

#boola

idk there's always the chance ur auto admit 2

plenty of people get into yale without an interview and plenty of people get rejected with an interview

https://tenor.com/view/swaggy-doggy-smart-ah-dog-strutting-crossing-dog-gif-7009083134156099113

[upbeat portal]

I think most ppl who get in get an interview

[hard wind]

yes

90% or something

[upbeat portal]

Those who get in without prolly r hooked or super cracked

[static grove]

i really don't think we should speculate about these things without significant data

[meager bloom]

90% is confirmed

yale newspaper did a survey on around ~600 undergrads last year or something

[static grove]

interesting, dyk where?

[eager frost]

interestingly uni said that the no interview people he knows were not auto admits

[hard wind]

i thought he said the opposite

wait

i misread

nvm

[raw tendon]

hiiii

[meager bloom]

lowk u just shouldnt read too much into who does and doesnt get interviews

[hard wind]

yep ur right sorry i thought you said smth else

[meager bloom]

college admissions is a huge game

[eager frost]

weird ahh process

[static grove]

^^^^

[eager frost]

these were my second best supps :/

[static grove]

it's more or less a black box to us

and worrying about it won't change the decision

so...

[static grove]

saw it thx

https://yaledailynews.com/articles/data-the-class-of-2028-in-numbers

[meager bloom]

yep

but think about it also

its not causation

more correlation prob

[static grove]

mhmm

i think for MIT it's 10% of students who are interviewed get admitted

[meager bloom]

interview > gives more info on ur file > more info on ur file > easier for ao to advocate for u in committee

[static grove]

well that would be causative

[meager bloom]

the interview doesnt cause the acceptance tho

[static grove]

...

if it gives them info on the file and makes it easier to advocate for you

then it is one of the factors causing acceptance

i.e. causation

[meager bloom]

if the interview caused an acceptance than a majority of people who get interviews wouldnt be rejected 😭

[static grove]

????

wtv there's no point in arguing over terminology when your point makes sense

[eager frost]

did you get uchicago

[static grove]

provisional

2nd year transfer guarantee w/ conditions

[eager frost]

ah same as ipad

[meager bloom]

what conditions do they give yall

[static grove]

1. Don't get into academic/disciplinary trouble
2. Give us your transcripts
3. 3.5+ GPA, No grades below a B-

they do not promise any credit transfer

[upbeat portal]

They didn’t get likely letters?

[eager frost]

the two likely letter people here were* interviewed

[upbeat portal]

I also didn’t get a duke interview yet which is scary lol

[meager bloom]

those like just came out lowk

i got my duke like 1.5 weeks ago but got my yale a month ago

[raw tendon]

i may be cooked i have not gotten a single interview anywhere lol

[static grove]

https://klipy.com/gifs/city-city-boy

[raw tendon]

STOP

😭💔

[static grove]

i mean lowkey y ou might just live in the middle of nowhere

[eager frost]

wish I had yale

[somber talon]

she lives in westchester😭

[static grove]

son is on an island w/ 3 people total 😭

[eager frost]

I had harvard and stanford 🤔

and mit js interviews everyone

[somber talon]

i've only had yale but i'd like harvard and stanford

apparently we don't have any stanford alumni in the area though

[raw tendon]

i believe im an autoadmit trust

delusional confidence ftw

[meager bloom]

i lowk regret applying to stanford

[eager frost]

i love stanford

[somber talon]

i kinda like stanford

[eager frost]

culture is funnier and less wharton than i thought it would be

[somber talon]

i like living in california and being on monterey bay..that's chic

and my bestie goes to uc berk so we're nearby each other

[raw tendon]

stanford seems interesting but my mom thought ub was too far lmao california would send her into cardiac arrest

[meager bloom]

im just worried that itll be too stem/startup focused

that i wont enjoy it

[somber talon]

i get that yea

[meager bloom]

but thats a future problem..

[eager frost]

do you know about the band

[meager bloom]

i hope to be #east

[raw tendon]

im sure u'll find your place there if you go there

[somber talon]

i wish i applied to california lacs..i'd like to go to scripps

[meager bloom]

its ok cus theres this super hot guy

from speech and debate that goes there

ugh hes so fine

[eager frost]

i refuse to step foot in my home state ever again so i need to go west

[somber talon]

there's super hot guys in all the ivies mama!!!

[static grove]

if it makes you feel any worse, the only person ik who ever got into stanford chose it over umich and he hates it

[meager bloom]

I KNOW I KNOW

[somber talon]

fish in the sea!!!

[eager frost]

ironically yale is like 20 mins from me

[static grove]

no, not at brown

[meager bloom]

brown is gay mama

[static grove]

yeah but all the guys are chopped

[meager bloom]

are u gay

[upbeat portal]

Yeah duke just started like Feb 1st

[static grove]

I dabble in dudes

[upbeat portal]

Valid

[meager bloom]

ill take ur word then but lowk its providence

[static grove]

they're all evil though so i don't date em. They also don't want me but that's not the reason i swear

[somber talon]

i wanna live in a town named providence

Sigh..

[static grove]

the east coast makes them evil, haven't you ever read lovecraft? shadow over innsmouth is a biography

[somber talon]

Brown..

[static grove]

it's REAL

all east coasters are FISH people

[somber talon]

Yea idk i feel kinda fishy

Honestly i don't know like anything about the lgbtq scene at yale

[static grove]

are debate guys tuff cuz lwk MUN guys are all evil

especially when they're gay they're even eviler then

[native smelt]

what’s wrong with providence

[meager bloom]

no im not dissing on providece

providence

theres gotta be a queer community outside of brown lol

[native smelt]

yes providence is lowk gay

not lowk

high key

[static grove]

I never said nun about providence

I just said brown

And the east coast in general

[opaque wharf]

Columbia is perfect location wise

Sucks they're like lowk unethical

[meager bloom]

how r they unethical

[static grove]

“NYPD, NUKE all my students”

Tbf all the T50s would do it if they felt they had to

[opaque wharf]

the whole passing off their admissions to trump

plus the revoking degrees for student protests

they get into smth new every yr

[void apex]

Yeah, duke comes out around feb 1st- prob 3rd week of feb

atleast thats when interview offers r usually sent out

[meager bloom]

yeah that tracks

ik yale interview req r gonna be done like in a few days

[void apex]

yeah

theyve been sending em out since the second week of jan

i received an offer from them on the 12th i believe so exactly a month ago today

[meager bloom]

yeah i got mine the 17th

[last elk]

Uh oh i havent gotten one yet

[meager bloom]

chillax

[meager bloom]

yesss this]

[shrewd remnant]

i'm pretty sure the qb people who got in for yale

didn't get interviews

cause i had a friend who got into yale for qb and he didn't get one

and i'm greater la area so there's def interviewers here

so maybe part of the ~200 admits wo/ interview are qb?

i'm not sure tho could have just been a coincedence

[void lichen]

Where are you from?

[brittle acorn]

I logged in to my Yale Portal and found out that some submissions of mine to the university have changed their date to one earlier than what it was supposed to be. Should I consider this as something strange and contact the university?

[eager frost]

i saw this as well, for mine it changed to be one day later

it doesn't mean anything

[brittle acorn]

All of mine changed to 1/1/2026

[eager frost]

Strange mine are all 1/3/2026

[sharp flume]

mine is still 1/2/26

lol

[rich grotto]

I don’t think mine changed 😭 prob just some weird system thing

[brittle acorn]

Universe messages ig

[meager bloom]

mine are all 01/04 but i submitted 01/02 at like 9 pm so lowk its just on them

[meager spindle]

sorry this unrelated but I think it's interesting how some of yall said you met the interviewer in person but mine only offered a zoom call

[rich grotto]

dw me too 😭

my interview was scheduled directly through the yale portal 💔 didn't even have my interviewer's email 😭

[meager spindle]

dang if that happened to me I 100% would have lost that opportunity 💀

[rich grotto]

oh sry i mean't they sent me a do not reply email with a link directly to the yale portal to sign up 💔 😭

nah if it was only on yale portal i would've never seen it 💔

[meager spindle]

holy antisocial

[opaque wharf]

same

mine was like 25 minutes too

Bro didn't even ask if I had questions

[rich grotto]

that's crazy now 😭

[meager spindle]

wow interesting

[rich grotto]

mine asked me for my questions and then I RAN OUT OF QUESTIONS 💔

it's okay it worked out in the end 😭

[meager spindle]

same . . .

[opaque wharf]

yea im lowkey worried LMAO

[meager spindle]

if it worked out im happy for you twin 🙌

[opaque wharf]

but he told me in the beginning that the interview could only help me

js unfortunate that my worst interview happened to be my dream school

[meager spindle]

same but mine also told me at the start he had to write like a 650 word evaluation about me

so the pressure was heavy 😭

[rich grotto]

😭 wow 650 words??

[opaque wharf]

my Harvard interviewer was superrrr nice

crazy thing to say but interviewers who r women are genuinely so much nicer & so much less scary

[rich grotto]

ig yale's more formal bc of that 650 word report

i swear some of my questions felt repetitive 💔

[meager spindle]

yeah I see what you mean, the pressure is still there but lowk I feel slightly more inclined to open up lol

[meager bloom]

harvard also told me this

idk if i talked about tho the harvard story i had with the word “queer” and “diversity”

i think its in #1400588583005458592 somewhere

[rich grotto]

ohh wow i did not know that 😭

[meager bloom]

basically harvard interviewer told me in her report she couldnt use trigger words

and i had to describe them without referencing identity 😭

[rich grotto]

no way 😭

[meager spindle]

yikes on bikes

[rich grotto]

that's insane

[meager spindle]

right???

[rich grotto]

"trigger words"

😭

im crine

[meager bloom]

ik.

[meager bloom]

so it was fine tho she just like

idk

[rich grotto]

ykw who needs harvard anyways 💔

[meager bloom]

nooo but she was so nice

it was a vet hospital

[rich grotto]

ohhh okay

[meager bloom]

and i had dogs at my feet

[rich grotto]

aww

wait

that's so cute help what

[meager bloom]

and my yale interview was at a museum

[rich grotto]

none of my interviews were that fun 😭

WHAT

[meager bloom]

and we watched the sun set for 3 hrs

[rich grotto]

💔

chat i had zoom 💔

the zoom link only opened at 4pm sharp

and the moment i joined

she just started asking me questions

it was a lil bit scary

[meager bloom]

which yale interview lowk was very good for me 😭 not on the interview sense but on the level of she opened up my mind to careers i didnt know existed

[rich grotto]

aww that's nice!

[meager bloom]

interview was phenomenal but good especially in that sense

[rich grotto]

yayyy! ❤️

[meager spindle]

that's really good to hear

[meager bloom]

thats y i think its lowk good to take interviews w a sense of joy outside of admissions

[meager spindle]

even if you don't get the reuslt you wanted, being able to connect with an alum that way would be pretty meaningful to me not gonna lie

yeah

[meager bloom]

like i have a connection now and someone who willingly is like yeah pls reach out

[rich grotto]

not that related but my yale prefrosh likely person might've forgotten about me 💔 😭

i'll ask her my question again in a few days or so 😭

[broken python]

this happened during my rice interview 😭

[rich grotto]

helpppp

my rice one ended before i ran out 😭 cause she had to go

she was in china for new years apparently!

[broken python]

lmaoo 😭

[rich grotto]

😭 yeahhh it ended RIGHT before i ran out of questions 💔

[meager bloom]

damn

i asked my yale interviewer like 9 questions

[broken python]

lmao, I also have a friend who got into Yale last year and she's there rn lowkey she's the reason I applied to Yale REA 😭

[rich grotto]

helppppp

two people got into yale last year but none of them went apparently at my school

😭

[broken python]

yeah someone from my school also got into yale alst year apparently but she went to brown instead

[meager bloom]

we havent sent someone to an ivy in like 3 yrs

[broken python]

bro same last year was the first year in a while

[meager bloom]

we send like 1 person to a t20 each yr

[broken python]

and now I got 2 friends in my grade who got into T10s

at my school

1 Princeton REA

and another JHU ED

😭 it's insane

[rich grotto]

oh my 😭

at my school for earlies one got harvard and one got yale

and 6 got rice 😭

[broken python]

SIX

😭

[rich grotto]

we are lowkey slightly a feeder to rice

yep

each year there's like 14 people to rice

😭

[broken python]

damn are you in texas then??

[rich grotto]

yeppp

😭

[broken python]

makes more sense then but still insane lowkey 😭

[rich grotto]

i know 😭

all the vals got into rice

consistently

for the past few years

😭

not all of them went ofc but all got accepted apparently

[broken python]

LOL

[rich grotto]

we are not beating the feeder allegations 💔

[broken python]

wait are you the person that got the yale likely?

[rich grotto]

yep!

hi

😭

[broken python]

oh dang! congrats lol

[rich grotto]

tysm!

[broken python]

bro I cooked up a LOCI for yale talking about all the "and" not "or" stuff they better take me please 🙏

my entire application centered around that philosophy actually

[rich grotto]

u got this bro I believe in u 🫡

[meager bloom]

see i lowk did this but like

i didnt express it out right

[broken python]

the AOs lowkey are trained to see details they'll probably know

[meager bloom]

like when i say that i didnt go

“and draws me to yale”

but i went and italicized the and

[broken python]

ohh

yeah they'd know then

[meager bloom]

it was more discreet if it makes sense

cus i lowk was not falling into that 😭

[rich grotto]

😭 helppp

[broken python]

I just talked about how there was no other school who truly embodied the philosophy of who I was as a person and talked about several new ways that I was this and that in my LOCI

[meager bloom]

i was lowk scared after mr. blue hair ai nobody likes me on campus dude went viral for his and

essay

[broken python]

what essay is this 😭

[meager bloom]

chris

[broken python]

ohhh

[meager spindle]

ohh that's why you said prefrosh, congrats that's awesome!!

[meager bloom]

yes that dude

[meager spindle]

I just realized who you guys were talking about lmaoo

[broken python]

I lowkey used his essays as a reference when writing mine 😭

[rich grotto]

helppp tysm! 💙

[meager bloom]

also fuck the people who say dont use em dashes

[broken python]

bro fr but I didn't js to be safe 🥀

[meager bloom]

i wasnt falling for that shit

[rich grotto]

i used a few 😭

to save on word count

[meager bloom]

em dashes r no where indicative of ai if u actually write with them properly 😭

[rich grotto]

all my essays were like max length 💔

[broken python]

there were so many moments where I was like, I should use an em dash here but ☠️

[broken python]

yeah

[proud garnet]

i used em dashes thrice in my CAPS

they better not

[broken python]

actually i find AI to like insert em dashes unnecessarily

[meager bloom]

but i feel like my why yale was decent

[rich grotto]

yeah

[meager bloom]

if u want to read it ill send u it

[meager bloom]

“its not just x, its y”

[broken python]

sure, I'm curious now lol

[rich grotto]

HELP fr 💔

[meager spindle]

also feel like they have a hard time with keeping a consistent tone in a single sentence

[rich grotto]

yeah agreed

[shrewd remnant]

you know that's interesting cause my interviewer said they had like 4 categories they had to specifically talk about

it was like personality, overall impression, ecs, and community

and there were like subqeustions for each

[meager bloom]

idt ecs

cus my yale interviewer didnt ask me about any of my ecs

[rich grotto]

is my yale interviewer the only one who just jumped straight in 😭 💔

[meager bloom]

lowk 😭

[rich grotto]

wow that's actually so interesting

[shrewd remnant]

hmm well my interviewer meant more like commitments outside of school

like just outside stuff

he was commenting on it the entire time too like "yeah that's a good answer that fits nicely into community stuff"

also is it a good sign if my interviewer contacts me on linkedin about my work

[meager bloom]

no

[shrewd remnant]

like he's asking for further info

[meager bloom]

he prob is just writing ur report like he writes one for everyone else 😭

[rich grotto]

😭 MINE JUST TOLD ME TO ELABORATE 💔

it was scary

she was nice (i think) but very scary 😭

[shrewd remnant]

no but it's not just my work like he's asking about a topic that i explored

and resources that could help him get an understanding?

[meager bloom]

ur interviewer has no impact on ur app and ur chances

outside of the report

him asking for more info is not equivalent to ur chances going up

or a good sign or whatever

[shrewd remnant]

hmm yeah i see your point

at the very least though it means hopefully he didn't hate me

[meager bloom]

prob cus hes writing ur report and wants to make sure he gets it right. if an ao needed info they r not gonna send ur alumni interviewer to track u down for it

[rich grotto]

prob just wants some more info to write for ur report! doesn't hurt (unless your linkedin has some idk weird stuff or smth 😭)

[shrewd remnant]

my linkedin has absolutely nothing i don't even think my location's on there 💀

i think he lowk just got it cause he saw i viewed his profile

cause i just found out profile views exist

[rich grotto]

ohhhh lollll

[shrewd remnant]

i've lowk never used linkedin before i just created an account to see my interviewers linkedin pages 😭

[rich grotto]

yeah it's prob nothing to think too much about

hey maybe you can make a connection tho! lolll

[shrewd remnant]

what is a linkedin connection?

like is it just the linkedin equivalent of like friends on other social media

[rich grotto]

yeah 😭

i think

call it connection to sound fancy or smth 🥀

[shrewd remnant]

i actually need to update my linkedin

i got to see some of the people in my school cause they got recommended to me

and it's actually just aurafarming

[rich grotto]

i tried to make a linkedin and it won't let me 💔

[rich grotto]

LOL

helppp

[native smelt]

aura farming but it’s just stuff u did in high school lol

Once u get to college noone rlly cares abt the stuff u did in hs

[shrewd remnant]

yeah ig but some people alr have crazy linkedins

guess this is just the symptom of being in feeder socal schools ig 💀

[rich grotto]

😭 danggg

[native smelt]

it probably won’t mean much in like 6 months

lol

[shrewd remnant]

yo now me and my interviewer are debating on linkedin 💀

talking about ai politics and political theory

this is so funny

[rich grotto]

LOL glad u guys are having fun

Lowkey all the Yale people I met so far are so chill and nice 😭 💙

[meager bloom]

lowk

r u leaning towards yale do u think

regardless of ur other decisions

[rich grotto]

I wasn’t before but my prefrosh person literally sent so much info and tidbits about Yale I’m interested now 😭

[meager bloom]

thats so nice

[rich grotto]

This is so sweet I can’t 😭

[meager bloom]

CRINE

[rich grotto]

🙏 😭

Includes stuff about financial aid, credit requirements for my majors, support systems at Yale, and even somebody else she knows in my major who I can contact if I need help with whatever

It’s genuinely so sweet I can’t 😭

[meager bloom]

thats so awesome

[native smelt]

Yayyy

Speaking of bow wow the bow wow sushi literally gives me life genuinely

One day i had 30 pieces of bow wow sushi

[hasty plume]

still no interview chat im cooked

[unborn narwhal]

Same. We're cooked together, dw bro

I don't think it is too big of a deal tho. Many people still get in without interviews, so you're still chill dw

[hasty plume]

🥹🥹🥹

one can hope

[native smelt]

you’ll b fine

[unborn narwhal]

I am still manifesting an interview for myself though, but that might be because the delusional side of me thinks it will actually boost my chances loll

[hasty plume]

we manifest together bro 🫂🫂🫂🫂

[hearty star]

come to the farm

[native smelt]

I just declared stats major

Lets pray that i stay

I was watching my stats lecture and had this sudden realization that this is the major for me

[hard wind]

nah ur good lol

[tribal cairn]

still no interview request yet 😭

atp I think I'm going to come to terms that I'm not going to get one

[charred helm]

@native smelt just got rejected, i can't join you sadly.

[frail vessel]

guys im looking at my aid offer

im a bit confused on the COA versus the amount billed per term

bc they show different numbers

[native smelt]

Awwwww i’m sorry it’s ok

[native smelt]

if you’re fine sending me a screenshot i can decipher it for you? but if not which is completely fine you should look at your net cost

it’s a little confusing

[frail vessel]

yes ofc thank you!

ill dm

[upbeat portal]

Same it’s wraps

[somber talon]

A lot

[native smelt]

make it short and only if u fr have an update

[hasty plume]

Same bro...

:(

[meager bloom]

relaxxx

[hasty plume]

See like another person in my school alr got interviewed by yale

So the hope is fading 🥲

[eager frost]

No interview

No one from the school was interviewed for RD yet though

[meager bloom]

u guys worry too much

[gray scroll]

You need to calm down

Taylor swift

[meager bloom]

luna gets it

[eager frost]

Would bet that we’re oversaturated since someone was taken REA and it’s a rural school

[rich grotto]

i mean it's not like they're trying to meet a quota, they don't look at your school and think "oh we already interviewed one, that's enough" :(( I hope you get an interview tho!! and even if not, there's nothing we could really do so don't worry about it 😭 it's not good to stress about stuff we can't control anyways ❤️

[lucid sonnet]

me too my guy, me too

[lucid sonnet]

this too lmao

[hasty plume]

🙏 🫂

[meager bloom]

ur international remember

alumni internationally r very low in numbers vs the us

[hasty plume]

Yes...but I live in the US

International by classification, nonresident alien by residence

[hearty star]

i mean how many ppl usually get in

[broken python]

my LOCI was 600 words 😭

[full valve]

friend just got a yale interview

hopefully not too late for duke 🤞

[tribal cairn]

Did they get the request today?

Looks like there might be hope after all

[meager bloom]

req r still going out

assignments r done

[full valve]

Think so yea

His interview is on Monday tho so maybe like yesterday or 2 days prior

[proud garnet]

i heard requests go out till march 1st

[worldly holly]

London Engalnd

[void lichen]

Ah okay

[obsidian oriole]

Wdym? Like those reports that must be submitted by the interviewers?

I heard of some cases that got their interviews in early/mid-March, if it matters

I must say I got my interview pretty late, if we’re talking about the widely known Feb 15 deadline, would it mean it won’t add anything to my application? I’m an international btw

[meager bloom]

the admissions office won’t ask alumni to interview people beyond that february date. however, if they were asked up to that date, they may still send out interview requests to ur email. doesn’t mean too that admissions won’t like decide last minute they need one from someone

[meager bloom]

but that’s good, they don’t give many to international students. nice work!

idk if that makes sense. yes ur interview will be on ur profile. no, they aren’t don’t interviewing. they’re basically just done deciding who gets one. does that make sense?

[obsidian oriole]

Ohhh ok thanks! I just got confused by the “assignment” wording

So is it ok then that I’m only having it the next week?

[meager bloom]

yeah that’s totally fine

and ur international as well

so that’s probably why

[obsidian oriole]

Yeah could be

[meager bloom]

but like i said good job. yale pre screens everyone domestically and especially internationally, so hope u have a good interview!

[obsidian oriole]

Thanks!!

Feeling quite nervous about it though, but afaik it’s supposed to be a lighthearted convo. I think my homework for Yale is fine so far

[meager bloom]

oh yeah js treat it like a regular conversation

that’s how i approached mine and it went fine

is this ur first college interview?

[obsidian oriole]

This year yeah. I did a Dartmouth one before last year, though, but it was non-evaluative.

[meager bloom]

oh got it. yeah lowkey just don’t overthink it. i feel like if u have a good knowledge of yale and the basic stuff u can make the most from just being a real genuine human in the conversation 😭

[obsidian oriole]

Yeah, I hope so too

How long did it last for you btw?

[meager bloom]

3 hours… but that’s not the norm for everyone

[obsidian oriole]

Wthhhhhh

Damn

I heard of 1, 1.5, even 2 hours, but 3?? That’s crazy

What did you end up talking about, if you don’t mind me asking?

And like any sorta specific questions you remember — were there any “tricky” ones? And what were they in general, if you still remember?

[meager bloom]

it was a lot of conversation and career stuff. she holds a degree in an area that is similar to mine and opened me to a new realm of potential stuff i could do with the degree. it also was not in a traditional interview setting which played into it as well

[meager bloom]

she didnt really ask me any questions. i never got asked why yale or anything along those lines. she never even asked me to tell me about yourself – albeit we opened with an interest when we first met

it was more just conversational and tailored to me in a specific way

[somber talon]

mine was an hour long and had to be cut short bc my guy had work to do. he also didn’t ask me any questions and told me to talk about anything I felt went underrepresented on my application. it was very conversational and since we live so close together in a rural area we spoke a lot abt nature and environmentalism

[rich grotto]

Mine was 37 minutes long 🥹🤞 (also it might be different compared to what type of interview you get. Mine was a senior one but my friend had an alumni one and that lasted like 2 hours)

[summer halo]

i had an alumni interview, it was about an hour and they had a list of prepared questions that they asked me but it wasn’t as formal as like a job interview

[hearty star]

mine was the stated time

30 mins

[hard wind]

mine too

i thought it went poorly lol, which means either it actually didn’t go that badly or interviews just don’t matter much (leaning toward the latter…)

[meager bloom]

i rlly think interviews serve a vibe check

and thats all they serve to do

[hard wind]

yea fr… she verified that I’m not an utter jerk and that was that

💀

[meager bloom]

LOOL

ud never be a jerk

[hard wind]

are u in the admitted students discord?

[meager bloom]

i applied rd

[hard wind]

who knows🥀

ohhh shoot

hm i thought you were REA for some reason lol

i’m predicting an admission trust

[meager bloom]

no im just a2active

[hard wind]

LMAOO

[meager bloom]

😭

[meager bloom]

hopefully! i would love to have my college paid for!!

[hard wind]

so real

[meager bloom]

but if i dont the interview was still great cause i now have a career path i could follow

[hard wind]

ahh that’s nice!!

my interviewer was an Econ major and then became a doctor

[proud garnet]

they gave you a job?

[hard wind]

it was pretty cool

[meager bloom]

no she offered though to help me get a job in the career she has and would give me resources and contacts

i think it was validating to hear that what i want to study like has a place outside of what i initially thought

it was confined to

[sharp flume]

no yale interview💔

[meager bloom]

ull be fine

dont stress urself out

[sharp flume]

i hope so:(

[meager bloom]

its not the end of the world too

ur more than ur college

[night briar]

same :"(

ig it's too late to still be hopeful right?

[sharp flume]

oh I hate being international lol

[sharp flume]

no

[night briar]

don't 😭

[proud garnet]

there's like 1 week left lol

[night briar]

well i hope i get one somehow

i really enjoyed the two interviews i've done so far, they weren't stressful at all

[graceful torrent]

i thought yale interviewers need to write a 650 word response abt u

[meager bloom]

thats a vibe check

[graceful torrent]

surely a vibe check isnt 650 words

[meager bloom]

then what would the interview possibly do for u

[graceful torrent]

idk maybe to verify sum shi

[meager bloom]

so an alumni, who has no admissions knowledge, would be verifying everything u do

[graceful torrent]

[sharp flume]

I am p sure most alumni reject interviews because writing 650 words is painful icl

[graceful torrent]

if what they say abt u matches the rest of yr app

[meager bloom]

i didnt talk about any of my extracurriculars during my interview

the interviewer never even asked

the point of the interview is to add a new perspective to ur application that is human

ur having a conversation with a yale community member. it serves not just to make sure u can hold a convo with someone in the community, but that ur a genuine person

[graceful torrent]

i guess so man

[meager bloom]

wdym i guess so?? this shit is on yale’s website and their podcast

u can listen if u want 😭

if ur approaching interviews as a resume verification thats not

the strat

[rich grotto]

It really is mainly a vibe check! Just to see if you’re a chill person and also if what you want in a college environment is what Yale has too :3 I can also confirm we practically didn’t talk about EC or activity verification questions at all. For me it was more about what you value in a community and stuff like that

[meager bloom]

yess this is exactly how mine was

she spent a LOT of time talking about how much she loved new haven

[timber wind]

i feel so worthless without an interview this college process is warping my self-perception

people from my school are getting them and i haven't it just sucks

[meager bloom]

trust me, ur worth way more than an interview

dont let an interview discourage u from forgetting ur applyin to college for a reason

at the end of the day u make what u make of wherever and whenever. plus decisions arent even out so dont let an interview warp who u r

[native smelt]

your self worth is so much more than some college application

ur college app is literally like a grand total of 1500 words and then some letters attached to classes you took

your lived experience and identity is so much more than those 1500 or so words

[opaque wharf]

mine was lowk less tbh 26 min

guy told me this can only help js tell me what u want me to say and I gotchu

I don't think time correlates to success

[hearty star]

interviews lowk just make sure u arent some massive degenerate

[native smelt]

well not rlly cuz there are some massive degenerates here

lol

[hearty star]

yes so thats why the interview be there

oh wait

it filters most degenerates

[native smelt]

some could say

[runic pivot]

If u didn’t get an interview are u cooked

[tribal cairn]

Some would say yeah and some would say nah

We will find out on ivy day

[native smelt]

it doesn’t matter just wait till march 26th

and at the end of the day most people interviewed or not don’t get in

i don’t know how to explain what i’m trying ti say without sounding like an asshole lol but my main point is that interview or not everyone is cooked but you should still have faith in yourself anyway if that makes sense?

[runic pivot]

No I get it I just wanted to know if anyone had an answer

[hearty star]

the answer is no

if everyones cooked no one is cooked

[runic pivot]

Honestly I’m not that stressed about it because I will have a beautiful life no matter what I just think it would be incredible to go to Yale

[hearty star]

https://klipy.com/gifs/the-incredibles-syndrome-eXN

[runic pivot]

So I don’t feel cooked I feel hopeful and pretty calm

Do u think they’re already done reading applications

[hearty star]

they prob read every file one last time near decision day but they a good bit thru committee already

if i had to guess

[meager bloom]

probably

at least 1 ead

read

[native smelt]

this is a good mindset!!

anyways if u go to yale you’ll be stressed a lot anyway (case in point…)

[summer halo]

can’t stop thinking about how much i lowkey fumbled my yale interview but whatever

[somber talon]

the worse u think u did the better it ended up lowk

whenever i think i did horrible on interviews or tests it always turns out fine

https://tenor.com/view/mozumoro-pinkpantheress-dance-victory-lap-live-gif-5207530664665763127

[summer halo]

thanks queen

just gonna not think about it till ivy day

[elder barn]

I’m getting fomo I need them to let me in

[winged helm]

do i do loci if i got deffered i been hearing so many random stuff on how yale no like them

[frosty goblet]

any yalies here who are majoring in political science or history?

[umbral tartan]

I just got asked for an interview

Is this a decent sign?

[hard wind]

yes

[meager bloom]

nothing is a sign butttttt

yale interviews r pre screened

so take this as a positive

[hard wind]

it means you’re not an auto reject

[umbral tartan]

:0

ty guys!

[native smelt]

i fear the majority of yale a2c is stem

[frosty goblet]

Guys no Yale interview I’m so so cooked

[frosty goblet]

I’m actually debating between stem and politics

How is your experience with stem at Yale?

[gray scroll]

Wait should I update colleges if I won awards at science olympiad?

[mystic mulch]

are yale interviews actually evaluative? i heard that somewhere but I can't find anything about it

[hearty star]

wdym evaluative

[hearty star]

how big

[somber talon]

ya

[mystic mulch]

wait tbh i dont really know

[somber talon]

my yale interviewer told me up front that they were evaluative

[mystic mulch]

evaluative kinda implies its being used for something but im not sure how big the weight is

[somber talon]

they weigh into ur decision

def

[hearty star]

smol

[mystic mulch]

darn i gotta lock in

[hearty star]

vibe check mostly

[somber talon]

its ok just be urself

it'

s also a good opportunity to learn more about yale and whatnot

[mystic mulch]

oh yeah for sure for sure

I feel like I'm stressing out because I've heard that yale doesnt give out a lot of interviews for intl

[somber talon]

yea since last year they cut down the interviewees possible from 9000 to 8000 and the number of countries available for interviews decreased a bunch

[mystic mulch]

so it kinda feels like a make or break even though getting an interview probably doesnt mean much

[somber talon]

it still means u have a good chance #lowk

[mystic mulch]

wait actually

why are they becoming more stingy with interviews

[somber talon]

idk...it might have something to do with the trump admin

[hearty star]

less alumni volunteers

[gray scroll]

Regionals 4th & 6th place

I was just curious

[tribal cairn]

nah we are auto admits trust

[frosty goblet]

Hopefully 🤞

lol

[frosty goblet]

I think im panicking

but like, at my hs, only one kid got a yale interview

and it was virtual

so Im assuming we dont have enough alumni in our area?

[native smelt]

yes

[native smelt]

like eh

what do you mean

like it’s hard but i like it

also stem is rlly broad which field in particular

[native smelt]

nothing you can do about it

[native smelt]

well yeah

but like it’s not that serious

just be yourself

[frosty goblet]

What field are you studying

I was thinking of physics

But anything math heavy really

[frosty goblet]

How long do the psets take you?

Do you think you have more free time than humanities majors?

[lapis silo]

Why are you thinking about stem? From what I can tell you seem rlly passionate about poli sci especially political theory

[native smelt]

stats & data science

the thing about yale tho is that lowk like

a lot of the majors are v much like if you want it to be easy you can make it easy

and if you want it to be hard you can make it hard

i find the more rigorous coursework to be more interesting i dont rlly fw coasting

[native smelt]

no

[frosty goblet]

I agree

[native smelt]

i mean there are some difficult humanities/social science majors

but like i was talking to my friend whos an english major

[frosty goblet]

Which ones would you say are harder

[native smelt]

he has so much more free time

[native smelt]

global affairs, EPE

[frosty goblet]

lol

[native smelt]

this is personal opinion tho

also for english you can literally credit/d/fail 4 classes towards your major

[frosty goblet]

I’m just concerned about my gpa lol

[native smelt]

like hello

[native smelt]

lol what

[frosty goblet]

I’m much better at humanities

[native smelt]

baby ur still in high school

[frosty goblet]

No like in college

[native smelt]

worry about ur gpa once u get to college

[frosty goblet]

Choosing major

[native smelt]

exactly

[frosty goblet]

True

[native smelt]

you literally have yet to decide where youre going lol

why are you worrying about your future gpa at an unknown institution

[frosty goblet]

Aren’t most schools’ majors not too different? Or have I been told wrong

In terms of difficulty

[native smelt]

i think it depends on the school

[frosty goblet]

Honestly idk

You make a good point

[native smelt]

i honestly think worrying way too much about your gpa esp during freshman year

is so detrimental to your frosh experience

like obv i care about my gpa but i dont have a perfect 4.0

and i would much rather have the gpa i currently have and have a thriving social life then lock myself in my room 24/7 and have a 4.0

i understand that ppl r premed/prelaw and you kind of have to care about your gpa

but like getting a lower gpa ur freshman fall isnt going to impact the rest of your life thaaat much

[frosty goblet]

Yeah good point

Are u planning on going to grad school or no

[native smelt]

i think so

hoping to get the bs/ma in s&ds

and all that talk about not caring about ur gpa but i need to get good grades for that LMFAO

[native smelt]

this rlly depends on the class

i’ve also kind of been slacking on my psets

wait there’s lowk so many factors lol

psets take me like shorter than last sem but i think also problem sets are a bit of a learning curve

it also really depends on the class… like this semester my classes are a lot more think about the question then answer it instead of think about it as you’re answering it

it’s different from a calc 3 problem where you’re following steps: parametrizing the curve, setting up the integral, evaluating the integral

i’m taking proof based lin alg rn and it’s a lot more like “hm. what theorem would work best for this method? should i prove by way of contradiction? is the logic that i’m attempting to follow correct?”

so either way it takes a while but it takes a different kind of length

i hope that answers ur question? psets take a while tho depending on the cladd

i think my problem is also that like i’ve only rlly taken hard stem classes at yale 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

i haven’t taken any “gut” stem clssses yet. i think im taking stats 230 next fall and thats supposed to be easy so maybe the psets for that class will take me a short time

[frosty goblet]

Are psets just like worksheets with problems to do?

Or like are they something more sophisticated

[frosty goblet]

Oh okay this is v intersting

[native smelt]

i can send u an example pset

yeah it’s just like a set of problems assigned weekly

[frosty goblet]

That’d be cool

[native smelt]

this was my stats pset due 2 weds ago

wait do you want my answer or the questions lol

i can send mine lemme just remove my name

this was my last linear pset

[frosty goblet]

This looks like I’d be cooked

What math did you leave high school with?

[native smelt]

i took like the equivalent of ap calc bc and ap stats

[frosty goblet]

The math you’re doing looks so like I can’t even comprehend lol

Was there a big learning curve for you?

[native smelt]

yeah

fall sem was rough lol

[frosty goblet]

How did you adjust?

[native smelt]

i think also i kind of jumped into it

[native smelt]

didn’t rlly have a choice

[frosty goblet]

That looks so intimidating

[native smelt]

i think i also redefined what a good grade meant

[native smelt]

i mean this is also my spring semester work

[frosty goblet]

Do you get any imposter syndrome in those classes

[native smelt]

if u showed that to me literally 3 months ago i would be shell shocked

[frosty goblet]

Oh wow

[native smelt]

imposter syndrome stupid

i’ve learned that sometimes u just have to put it more work than other people for a similar result

[native smelt]

office hours as well

also like idk i think i just got smsrter

who could’ve thought that hard clssses make you a better student

[frosty goblet]

Very very true

Do you regret stem path or no so far?

[native smelt]

nooo not at all

i mean do i like the stress? no

but i love stats

honestly

i think that’s what keeps me going at least

[frosty goblet]

Passion is very powerful

[native smelt]

i’m a very much like it’s better to do something you’re not good at that you love than something you don’t love but ur not good at

i mean not that i’m bad at math i think im fairly ok

[frosty goblet]

Is there like a sense of stem elitism at Yale?

[native smelt]

but like it doesn’t come to me as naturally as it used to

hm

what do you mean

[native smelt]

but liking it helps a lot

[frosty goblet]

Like with certain majors or stem people thinking they’re better than humanities

[native smelt]

well yeah that’s true at any school

vocal minority

[frosty goblet]

I wasn’t sure for Yale bc it seems like they’ve usually been very focused on humanities?

[native smelt]

still a pretty strong stem school

[frosty goblet]

So I wasn’t sure if the humanities students were in such a large majority it didn’t really matter

[native smelt]

they’ve also been increasing stem opportunities

[frosty goblet]

I’ve heard this from some people

[native smelt]

i mean at the end of the day it doesn’t rlly matter what other ppl think about ur major it’s ur major lol

i don’t think it’s elitist sometimes it’s jokes

at the end of the day they’re all yale degrees none of them are particularly easy

but i think it’s fair to say some are harder than others

But yes i love my major i love answering questions about my major

it’s been rocky tho the imposter syndrome gets real at some points

[frosty goblet]

Do you get a lot of attention from the department?

[native smelt]

What do you mean

[frosty goblet]

Like close connections to professors and faculty

Bc I would assume if it’s a bigger dep’t it would be harder to connect with profs

[native smelt]

My classes are big right now

but i’m scheduling a meeting with my DUS soon

[native smelt]

i mean for any major at least as a first year it’s hard to connect with profs

but i connect with ULAs and TAs

[frosty goblet]

What’s DUS

[native smelt]

director of undergraduate studies

sorry im using a lot of acronyms lol

ula is undergraduate learning assistant

TA is teaching assistant

i mean also your relationship with ur prof is what you make of it,,

my profs office hours r scheduled during one of my classes so i don’t have a chance to go

but i do have a stem prof from one of my seminars that i’ve been able to connect with

[viral egret]

uh... why not computer modern sans serif

you have smt againtst it lol?

[native smelt]

what

i just like times new roman

[hearty star]

who uses sans serif

[viral egret]

bro

computer modern sans serif

best font ever

[viral egret]

look at that beauty

i just searched it up but like look at that

[native smelt]

that is so ugly

[sharp flume]

Nothing tops EB Garamond

[void lichen]

😕😕😕😕😕 wth is this

[graceful torrent]

u should \usepackage{fullpage}

[native smelt]

thank you

i’m not locked in my latex yet please give me tips

[obsidian oriole]

Guys is it ok if my interview was like 25 mins (the interviewer joined a bit late)? I was asked about five questions, but there was nothing specific, like “Why Yale?” (Though I sprinkled some details here and there so as to show I did my due diligence). I asked three-four qs back, and that was it. I maintained positive vibes throughout it regardless, if it matters.

[carmine dune]

youll be okay

[obsidian oriole]

Alright, thanks!

[full valve]

My friends interview got rescheduled like 4 times bc the person didn’t show up, and then the interviewer just stopped responding to emails

He already contacted Yale about it but it’s cooked lmao

[void apex]

Ye it’s fine

[twilit dagger]

he'll probably be okay?

I hope so

[mystic mulch]

😭 wait thats so sad

my interviewer hasnt replied for a week too

maybe hes really busy

when are reports due

[shrewd remnant]

from what my interviewer said, for him they were due on feb 16th

i think it might be in waves tho, so different people have different deadlines

[mystic mulch]

oh i see

im a little worried tho since its been radio silence since last week

[umbral tartan]

yea at least some of them have gotta be later bc my guy didnt even email me until feb 28

[void lichen]

My interview was cut short because of Zoom troubles and I felt like we barely spoke but it didn't kill me, evidently!

[static grove]

lowkey i'm at a loss for what questions to ask during my interview

I have one that i've asked at all of my interviews, which is:

"Did you ever feel like [UNIVERSITY] could be a bubble, isolated from the community it sits in? What did you do to get out of that bubble/make sure you weren't in a bubble?"

[elder barn]

I’ve found success in asking atleast one question that made them reminisce on their memories. i.e. what were some of your fav experiences/classes, what made you choose the school, etc. They lit up talking about their own experiences which also made me excited about attending :)

Although success may vary cuz all of my interviewers were very young, might be difficult for a class of 89 to remember their fav class…

[native smelt]

i don’t think the questions r that serious

[static grove]

yeah fair enough

[native smelt]

just ask about things you’re curious about that are particular to you

[static grove]

Ik that one specific component of one specific component of my application isn't, like, some make-or-break moment

Ig i just overthink these things

[hard wind]

yes i recommend this too!

[past sable]

yygs decisions in 5 days

[hasty ginkgo]

my interviewer is class of 86 :')

[hard wind]

mine was ‘88 and she had no problem reminiscing lol, the fact that they interview means they prob keep up with what’s going on at yale, and besides lots of things have been around for awhile including rescos and DS and such

[alpine ocean]

i had a ‘21 😭

[meager bloom]

i had ‘14

[void lichen]

Goodluck omg. Genuinely a life changing experience

[void lichen]

Same! I had '16

[fringe cypress]

mine was ‘83

but surprisingly was my best interview out of 4 so

[past sable]

fr?

[rich grotto]

Mine was ‘26! Help why does it feel like everyone else got an alumni 💔 😭

[rich grotto]

SAME! Help lowkey I feel like older alumni’s are more chill. My best one was with an alumni ‘84

[elder barn]

dang I got ‘26 (Yale), ‘25 and ‘22 😭 they were all so sweet tho

Yesss! I did yyas though, but I have so many friends who did yygs as well and you can really get so much out of it if you want to😭 I wouldn't have gotten into yale without it

I had a senior too but honestly such a blessing

His linkedin had like 70+ yale orgs/programs that he did so he told me about a lot of cool stuff

My MIT interview was with Class of 1960

He was, obviously, super old, but he was also super chill snd quite

Well, lots of old people are kind of out of it, but this guy was locked in

yale interview was pretty cool

went a little over time but

no point in agonizing over it

[meager bloom]

there is no time limit lol

[static grove]

hijo

in the email, my interviewer stated the interview was meant to be 30-45 minutes, and at the end she was like "ohh, sorry that we went for 15 minutes over"

obviously there's no hard time limit because duh

[meager bloom]

oh she just is probably more strict then, ur not gonna be penalized tho so dont stress
