<p>Is it fine if I submit my entire Application on October 31st?
I have yet to do the 500 word Yale supplement essay…
I’ve already sent my letters of rec, transcripts, scores.</p>
<p>Its fine, but I would suggest doing it not last minute on october 31st,. its not as backed up as for RD on the day before, but it will prob still be a bit slower still. everyone on January 31st has trouble sending it in because of the volume of applicants online.</p>
<p>So send it Oct. 30th?</p>
<p>I’m trying to drag as long as possible so I would have more time to fix up my application…</p>
<p>Advice anyone? =D</p>
<p>haha none from me. :)</p>
<p>I’m writing both of my main essays today, and fixing up my application next weekend. I’ll hopefully have it ready by then.</p>
<p>aah I’m submitting my app tomorrow! Well, I will if the payment is processed in time. Anyone know how long it usually takes?</p>
<p>I wish you all luck! I remember how crazy it was for me. Trust me, all of this is completely worth it.</p>
<p>I am finally done with my application! There are just two things I’m not sure about that I have to add, but other than that, I think it will be ready to head out this week. I’m so excited. I’m so scared! Heh heh. Not to mention decisions will probably the same week as my birthday. Yale is my dream school, and being an immigrant, it would be such an honor to be accepted. Oh, I’m nervous already!</p>
<p>Just applied a few hours ago.</p>
<p>It is such a relief to finally send all that crap off to New Haven. Let me just say to all the procrastinators out there: you will feel MUCH BETTER when you’re done.</p>
<p>Good luck to all.</p>
<p>(Note: my sn is a inside pun, I know the spelling is ‘hopeful’ )</p>
<p>I posted my application, RD, sometime in late Sept, and was informed by email Oct 1. that my application was being “processed” which I assume means scrutinized for everything not wanted at Yale. I was recently offered an interview for Oct 29, and since I’m basically in love with Yale, I’m really considering switching to SCEA, (kicking myself for not applying as SCEA, yes).</p>
<p>I sort of want to make this a chances post, but my situation right now is, (again, I’m assuming), a little unusual and I’d much prefer to privately message anyone who’s gone to Yale, has been accepted to Yale, or has relations that are Yalies.</p>
<p>Can anyone share their Yale interview stories so I have some idea of what will happen?</p>
<p>^Hmm I haven’t had mine yet but that’s a good idea.</p>
<p>Just decided to switch to SCEA, and freaking out. Good to know a lot of people haven’t sent their app off yet. I was convinced I was almost <em>too</em> late to the party. Phew.</p>
<p>I went to all the trouble of getting an application in early for regular decision. </p>
<p>And apparently, I wasn’t as early as most of the Early applicants. Sheesh.</p>
<p>May I ask what prompted you to switch to SCEA, and how you did that?</p>
<p>Interview stories:</p>
<p>I have a few.</p>
<p>Friend #1:
“It was sort of boring, to tell you the truth, Ivy. I mean, we just talked about the school. And how much I was interested in it. Oh, and if the food was edible. That’s always fun.”
She got in on RD.</p>
<p>Cousin:
“We spent twenty minutes arguing over whether Beethoven was Classical or Romantic. In the end, we concluded that Beethoven was just Beethoven.”
Accepted EA last year</p>
<p>Friend #2:
“Don’t worry. They just ask you for your test scores to get a feel. My interviewer asked me for my GPA, but frankly we spent more time talking about how technology was affecting the world and Yale. Mostly about Yale. And me. A lot about me. And Yale. Hey, make sure you learn all the little trivia about Yale, that sure helps.”</p>
<p>Accepted </p>
<p>Friend’s Boyfriend: “It was fun. I had a good interviewer.”</p>
<p>Accepted</p>
<p>Senior Classmate (accepted last year): “I had a stomach ache in the middle and went to the restroom. When I came back we talked about the common flu. The interviewer was a little scary, but I just talked around her face.”</p>
<p>Apparently, from what I’ve concluded, it’s a pretty varied bunch.</p>
<p>^nice work!
great to see sooo many of us are applying to Yale EA</p>
<p>Anyone have any idea what the h*ll is happening with my common app? I submitted both supplement and common app yesterday, and the little indicator switched to a green arrow. But now, they’re both downloaded by Yale, and the supplement has reverted to a yellow square…</p>
<p>Has this happened to anyone else?</p>
<p>Its happened to me.</p>
<p>…and I’m now officially in the RD pool…Yale did that…</p>
<p>Since I’m getting enough PMs on this, this is the story…</p>
<p>I’m already in Law school (here we go straight to it after high school. I’m in 1st year). For that reason I cannot apply as a transfer since my courses will not transfer. So they let me apply as a freshman but my university transcript will be out in February and they cant make a decision in December without it.</p>
<p>to all EA hopefuls: if you got in everywhere you applied, where would you go?</p>
<p>My tip-top choices are Yale, Columbia, Harvard (in that order), but sometimes I wonder where I would go if I, by some lucky chance, got into all three. Yale is my best fit academically, I have a lot of friends at Harvard, and I love Columbia’s core/location. Just wondering if anyone was similarly conflicted (despite the premature nature of the conflict).</p>
<p>Oops, should’ve clarified : I hadn’t actually applied RD, just planned on doing so, took everything at a slower pace, etc., then decided, last minute, to do SCEA. I don’t know how you would go about changing an RD submission to SCEA. :</p>
<p>eating food : My top choices are, in order : Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth or Georgetown. I would definitely ditch Yale for Harvard (primarily because of location, not so much for any other reason, since both schools are amazing), but Dartmouth and Georgetown vs. Yale would be a toss-up. I like Dart’s location better than Yale’s, and GT might be better for my major. But…still. I mean, it’s kinda hard to turn down Yale. :|</p>
