Thoughts after info session

<p>Sounds like aniram and the OP spent an evening the same representative. </p>

<p>Yale’s published policy with respect to filing concurrent early apps has been basically the same since Yale instituted SCEA. It is not quite as narrow as the rep made it out to be. From this year’s Yale Admissions website: </p>

<p>

I am applying to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program. Can you explain the rules about applying to other colleges under their various early notification programs?
If you are an applicant to Yale under the Single Choice Early Action program, you may not apply to any early admissions program that notifies candidates before January 1, whether or not that program is binding. However, you may apply to another college’s early notification program under certain conditions. **First, you may apply to a public university’s “rolling” admission program if the program is non-binding (meaning that you have until May 1 to respond). **Second, you may apply to a college with an early deadline for scholarship awards, but only if the notification of admission occurs after January 1. Finally, you may apply to another college’s “Round 2 Early Decision” program, but only if notification is after January 1. If you are admitted through another college’s “Round 2 Early Decision” program, you must withdraw your application from Yale.

<p>And interviews are not even required at Yale. How can an element that’s optional be more important than one that’s required?</p>

<p>Sounds like Yale needs to prepare its road show reps a bit better.</p>
