Fall 2020 Yale Transfer Thread

@cusnew - errr lemme check but im sure it just says submitted but it really made me a bit…annoyed. technical difficulties are never fun.

also why do i think we had different questions o.o??? i dont remember much of mine but i dont think i had distributional requirements

It’s probably random @heyigotnoclue

@cusnew ai ya. any good news so far? from other schools? how ya doing?

@heyigotnoclue Nothing yet unfortunately. Fingers crossed! I’m hoping for the best.

@cusnew Thank you so much for posting about the interview! Two quick questions: what does “trouble engaging” mean? I also saw on this thread that someone else has gotten a question about diversity but not sure what that means.

@Pink20 I am not sure but I believe trouble engaging will be something related to how you showcase group work or your ability to connect with people.

@Pink20 @Guru123 It actually was trouble engaging with any of the courses. For example if you have experience with humanities/social sciences and have had trouble. That’s what the context was, I believe. I’m pretty sure it was Yale specific question so just know some specifics about their curriculum. Also, you will have time to come up with something before each question so don’t worry too much!

@cusnew - LOL awkward cuz i think i spoke about how i knew it was the end of my chemistry career when i accidentally made a stink bomb in class…

in all fairness, I DID NOT KNOW VINEGAR CAN DO THAT.

hey where does it actually say to create the interview because mine just shows does not have a button where it says create the interview like it does on the practice tab

wait nevermind I found it lol

Are we allowed to do the StandOut Interview on Wednesday?

@10Paulo_Dybala10 Since it says by Wednesday I believe that means Wednesday at 11:59 PM. I have not done mine yet either, but I will probably do it tomorrow just to be safe. If you can’t do it today or tomorrow maybe email admissions to make sure they mean by the end of Wednesday.

In terms of the practice questions… it says you can have unlimited chances to practice, and it allows you to redo immediately after recording, but it won’t let you play back and review your videos until after you click “Finish.” If I click “finish,” can I review my recordings AND still record a new version, or does that close you out of practicing?

You can record a new version @ch1ckenwings

Does Yale send out invites for interviews with AOs all at the same time? Or do they send out live interview invites over a period of time?

@maliciouspdf that’s the million dollar question isn’t it :frowning:

If anyone does receive an invite, please let us know.

how does everyone feel about "overall comprehension score’ during the interviews, cos i have to tell you. I am NOT a fan

nvm it was just for the practise… i still didnt like it though

Thank you so much!

Does anyone know if we CAN submit tomorrow by the end of the day?

does anyone know if practice questions come out in the real one too? Thanks!
