Yale Class of 2017 SCEA Discussion thread

what time to decisions come out on December 14?

[Philovitist]

Pretty sure they don't have it that precise.

[CantConcentrate]

It's usually around 5PM ET, but their servers have a tendency to crash with the high volume of people loading their website at the same time.

not like I'm going to be sleeping anyhow, but that's middle of the night for me

[Kili16]

@lemming101 I have the same problem Not going to sleep, that's for sure!

[lemming101]

I'll be on here most likely, waiting for the first person to write they've heard...
Thing is you can't even predict where you'll be in the admissions pool, so I have no idea where I'll stand :S

[YaleHopeful2013]

So nervous...so many reasons the admissions would say no...
just pledged and filled out the info for the results thread already (so I don't back out in disappointment) and things just got real...

anyone from nj contacted for an interview yet?

[ceruleia]

yeah, I was contacted a few weeks ago, but still haven't had mine because it got delayed, thanks to sandy. My friend says she's been contacted about her interview too.

I'm a little worried about interviews. I'm usually really good at talking to people, but I don't know... has anyone done a college interview yet? how formal is it? I feel like I'll screw up on something really stupid and mundane, like wearing the wrong thing, or being too informal... or too formal, even if I have a lot to say.

[gg08jhu]

i havent received any email about an interview!! i really hope i get one bc thats probably my only strength!! but for the interview its not like super formal and like a casual conversation

[CantConcentrate]

Anyone from Oklahoma/Kansas/Louisiana/Mississippi/Texas/New Mexico receive an interview request yet?

[dramafox8]

How about anyone from Tennessee? If anyone else is from Tennessee

[alocik]

I'm in Canada and I did my interview already. It was pretty low-key/informal, I went to his house and we talked about a lot of different things. It was very relaxed, and half of the time it was him talking about his experience at Yale. He told me before-hand not to worry since the interview is only a small part of the application, and that he does not receive your Common App, only your contact info. Take it easy, it is nothing to worry about! Most people do well on the interview.

[cheecheelin]

just wondering...is it okay to contact the ASC of my area directly and ask if it's possible to get an interview?

[lemming101]

My Eli account says I'm missing a teacher rec but common app says everything's been downloaded. This happened to anyone else?? What should I do about it??
