Official Yale 2015 SCEA Pledge Thread

Jersey13 · December 6, 2010, 8:04pm

^ Yeah, but the legacy admit rate is ~30%.

Madshock · December 6, 2010, 8:11pm

Huh, darn those lucky sons of guns/Yale graduates.
Yeah the non-hooked average is much lower isn’t it…though I guess its true with RD to a lower degree if you sort through all the hooks and all?

arwenevenstar · December 6, 2010, 8:14pm

yeah, sucks that the one top tier school I have a legacy at doesn’t really care at all about legacies… :/

Owlehn · December 6, 2010, 8:14pm

I’m just hoping they’ll like my uniqueness!
Did you guys go for “strong and solid” essays, or “how about I take a chance” essays?
I think I went for the second… my essays are kind of odd. Lol.

alisa530 · December 6, 2010, 8:36pm

yeah i guess there are just more qualified or delusional girls applying for Yale than boys…

quomodo · December 6, 2010, 9:27pm

I’d say #100 should be auto-admit, not auto-reject.

I wish we found out earlier, like those other schools. :(

I guess it’ll sort of dull the shock, though, if my friends have already found out about stuff. Like for example, if people already have been deferred/rejected from Columbia and then Yale gives me the axe, it’s not quite as big of a deal… Maybe…???

CC rate around 20%… (where did you find this? I couldn’t find it anywhere…)
Around 14 hooked students…

Umm. Good. That leaves a lot of room for the rest of us.

Madshock · December 6, 2010, 9:39pm

My common app is a “strong and solid,” but both of my supplementary ones are “take a chance”-ish. Figures, as I did the supplements a few days before Nov. 1
That’s what I remember from looking at past pledge threads…

ccuser18 · December 6, 2010, 9:40pm

That’s seriously depressing haha. I’m not completely convinced, however, that 2/3 of the people admitted on CC were hooked students last year. So who knows, maybe more than 20 from this pledge thread can get in.

Madshock · December 6, 2010, 10:13pm

Yeah it really makes it hit home, how slight the chances really are. I think the eventual acceptance rate from the deferral rate was abysmal as well - same percent as RD for the non-deferred, though please feel free to correct me if this is wrong.

jgraider · December 6, 2010, 10:24pm

I think like 2 people got accepted after being deferred on CC last year

Owlehn · December 6, 2010, 10:26pm

^
Yeah… :(

I just looked back on my app, and a few words on my ECs were cut off. D:
How will Yale look at this??

silverturtle · December 6, 2010, 10:31pm

With inference (as to the words) and understanding, I imagine.

Owlehn · December 6, 2010, 10:38pm

Eh, it only cut off like 5 words… no big deal.
Yeah… that’s what I’ll tell myself…
I’m good now.

youngjustice · December 7, 2010, 12:00am

Y’all are scaring me with this truncated ECs business. My friend just told me she got into Columbia through QB and it’s not making the wait any easier : (((

Chaospreferable - (hooked - URM, legacy)

If I forget to post, please don’t hate me ;P

Charleh · December 7, 2010, 5:07pm

^ URM AND Legacy? Damn, couldn’t you leave some stuff for other people who don’t have any hooks? :D
