Fall 2020 Yale Transfer Thread

@LapisLazumarril @jazziscool

I’ve had my hs transcripts sent twice as well. It’s been almost a month altogether. Not sure what to do. Their website states the AO won’t review any incomplete applications.

Also, does your hs allow the release of your OFFICIAL transcript to you? Or do they only issue the official directly to other schools??

Mine only issues directly to other schools/ programs. Students can only obtain an unofficial copy which is super annoying.

@worksmart65 yup same with my high school, we can only receive unofficial transcripts.

@worksmart65 @jazziscool

Same, my HS doesn’t give us official copies either.

I’m getting really concerned cause the deadline to submit materials is in 4 DAYS.

@LapisLazumarril Yea ik it’s been really annoying and I am surprised that of all schools, it is Yale that has been the most unorganized so far.

hey guys! does anyone know if it shows the same questions when you try multiple times for the interview?

@J8012345. … errr u only get one shot… so im confused as to what u are asking :frowning:

for the practice, you can do as many as u would like but for the real one, one shot - 1 minute (i think i forgot) for each

Does anyone know if Yale sends out likely letters or more like, likely calls for transfer admissions?

I’m not even sure if this is still a thing for regular admissions.

@worksmart65

I haven’t heard of likelies for RD applicants so they probably don’t do it for transfers. But I’ve seen videos of Ivys who don’t send out likelies calling applicants a couple days before decisions are released to congratulate them

Question: Is Yale responding to anyone’s emails?

@LapisLazumarril nope, not for me at least. My damn high school transcript is still awaiting

do you think they’ve already started reviewing applications even though the deadline hasn’t passed for the materials/standout interview? i haven’t submitted the interview yet and i wouldn’t want my app to get reviewed before i do :((

Not sure what’s going to happen to our applications (ones w/ still awaiting for hs transcript or college report.) I fear they might not get reviewed at all.

@LapisLazumarril Yes! Yale always responds to me. Are you sure you are emailing the right address? They always respond within 24 hours, usually around midnight. They’ve even emailed me in the 2 am hour. They are very helpful and kind.

Also everyone, my college report also still says awaiting, so I just wanted to let you guys know that you are not alone! They emailed me back saying that email processing is taking longer due to the pandemic. If you know it was turned in, then we should be fine. Hoping the best for us all! <3 Also, has anyone else been on campus yet? It’s so great there :blush:

@treeslinger9

They used to reply quickly (got a response at 4am too lol), but recently it’s just been understandably taking a while.

No one is answering emails at midnight or 4am (at least I don’t think.) I have also received a response that late, however, it seems pretty clear that it is an automated response as it does not remotely address the main focus.

Does anyone remember the questions from the interview?

Can someone who has already done the interview, please, share his experience and what were the questions? Thank you.?

Did anyone get a live interview request w/ admissions today? Any idea what that might mean?

@veggiewok from previous transfer threads it seems like Eli Whitney applicants tend to get interview requests with admissions? I’m not sure if that’s your case or not… There’s a thread for Eli Whitney program and seems like people are saying they all got an email saying that there will be interview requests but I dont think Ive got that email before… so it might not be for regular transfer applicants, im not sure!
