@TheGuy1 I am not fear lmao, cuz at the time I applied to Yale I knew it’s very very likely for me to get rejected. I am not expecting for an acceptance.
@yaluyalu But you didnt send the CSS right?
Theres a Deadline for CSS for yale, and they expect you to follow that regardless. it isnt their responsibility to tell you anything regarding the documents theyve given you submissions dates for.
Since they are need blind, you can apply after you are admitted. That’s how need blind school works. When I asked MIT if they can provide me with a CSS fee waiver code, they suggested me sending the CSS Profile if I get in so I can save the fee.
@yaluyalu Ah. Makes sense, but then I dont get why they’d have deadlines for these things.
But in that case the fact that they didnt contact you reinforces that no FA email doesnt = immediate rejection.
The deadline can make them have enough time calculating FA package and sending them together with the acceptance letter
Okay. BUt dont worry. Maybe you get in and then they ask you for sending it. Provided you didnt already provide them with this data, i guess that speaks negatively on some fronts.
Note: Generally FA’s come later, after the Dec. Day
@TheGuy1 Thanks! It’s sweet for you to say that.
THanks. I’m still trying to speak from a logical standpoint, and from something based off what ive seen and heard.
That’s true at most colleges, but NOT at Yale.
If you HAVE submitted your CSS Profile and IDOC by Yale’s deadline and are accepted, the financial aid office will snail mail you your financial aid package with your acceptance materials.
If you HAVE NOT submitted your CSS Profile and IDOC to Yale and are accepted – no worries, as Yale has one of the largest endowments of any college in the country. In that case, the financial aid office will snail mail you your acceptance materials, but note you applied for FA, but those FA documents are missing. The admitted student then has roughly until mid August (when the first tuition payment is due) to file the CSS Profile and IDOC to receive FA for your freshman year.
FWIW: At most other colleges, if you miss the Financial Aid deadline, you cannot receive FA for the upcoming year. So this DOES NOT apply to any other colleges except HYP.
@gibby Oh. I did not know this. Thanks for clarifying.
Im also glad that there hope for people who didnt submit finaid info but get in. The age old battle of not getting FA mail=not getting in is proven false.
At 29 billion, Yale has the second largest endowment not only the country, but the world.
im getting so nervous… just got a nice rejection from MIT so feeling super good about the rest of this ?
I have to question the authenticity of Yale’s Admission process. Yale does not validate if you select First Generation on your Application. In light of the College Admission Fraud case how many people are fraudulently being accepted by Yale by lying about First Generation status. Directly from a Yale Admissions officer if a prospective students application raises questions then we will ask they validate First generation status but we do not overall check the status of each applicant.
Its an honor system, there is no way to authenticate, just like there is no way to prove a negative----how do you show that you have no college degree to show?
But if the parents professions—which are listed in common app—typically require college degrees then claiming first gen will raise red flags.
@Parentof2019grad, being a first generation applicant isnt really much of a hook.
@Illuminate27 It is.
All top schools have a quota for 1st gens for obvious reasons. Idk how you declare/figure that status out to them tho.
Hmmm, ok. I didn’t realize it was that big of a factor, I stand corrected, @TheGuy1!
@Illuminate27 Its okay. Especially for ivies, they want to host people who are the 1st to attend college in their family as it looks good. Also its a very +ve motive.
Source please??? Unless you can site a link to a top college saying they have a quota for first gens, what you are posting is a personal opinion and not a fact. And it should be stated as such.
As far as I’m aware, not one ivy league school or top college have acknowledged they have quotas for any sub-category of applicant – that includes international students, URM’s, legacies, and first gens.
@gibby Very weird considering how the percent of admits by race stays more or less the same across many years.
https://oir.yale.edu/sites/default/files/cds_yale_2018-2019.pdf First Gen is considered in the process like Race. Hence a race and 1st gen status definitely helps an app to get in.
https://yalealumnimagazine.com/articles/4800-first
18% of the Yale class of '22 is 1st Gen. And thats only a rise from the 12% of the 1st Gen class from Last Year. You think those numbers are rising just as a coincidence? Definitely not. Given its a positive outlook, its whats happening anyways.
Of course they wont acknowledge quotas in the admission criteria, but they do it anyways. Why would they want to acknowledge or display something that outright offends/demoralizes the non-1st Gen’s? They’ll want to maximize their pool to keep 'em in the headlines, and generate revenue. There are many things that they dont talk about, happening behind the closed doors. Race shouldnt be a factor in admissions (as per the adcom itself) right? Yet it determines the class structure for diversity’s sake.
A given rule of thumb ive come to learn is that if the school doesnt speak about something outright and ll the stats/actions tend toward it, its for good reason and they’re doing it.
