@Printing Bear in mind %ages differ by colleges that arent in CA.
Also, Race is considered, not given precedence over other admission factors, but definitely cutting ties between 2 “equally thriving apps” of different races, however racist that may sound.
my checklist is gone, anyone else?
@dairyqueen Yeah mine is gone too
Mine too lol
3 more days…
This might be a little bit late but in late Jan, a Yale alum emailed me about an interview. I replied the next day but she never communicated with me again. What exactly does this mean?
(I’m from Zimbabwe btw)
@popeyes653 , my guess is that most deferred REA candidates have gone through 2 readers and in many cases the REA Committee. I assume this because because around 55% are deferred in the early round and 30% are rejected so there obviously was some significant evaluative work. I have not worked in the AO office and my knowledge is limited to discussions I have had with the regional AO who meets with the Alumni interviewers when they visit my city or from direct or group conversations with senior AO’s. The regional AO has the ability to ding an applicant on the first read. They may also have some discretion in putting an applicant up for final Committee, but more likely they pass the file on to a second reader to see if there is concurrence on furthering the application to Committee, rejecting the applicant, and perhaps in the REA round, deferring without going to Committee. I suspect that the vast majority of applicants who get to the REA Committee are either accepted or deferred. A first reader cannot unilaterally accept a student.
Hey, y’all. Quick question: I realize admissions decisions are very close to coming out and nearly finalized, but over the weekend I was granted two very prestigious awards that I feel are significant enough to share with the AdCom. As many of you know, I was also granted an AO interview a few weeks back, so I don’t want to jeopardize the likelihood of the AdCom’s informed opinion of me thus far. One award was a State Finalist award in Debate, which was the first time anyone from my school or district earned such an award, and I was also awarded the most prestigious award for graduating seniors from the National Speech and Debate Association. Should I submit an update and also add a few sentences or so explaining why I felt it was significant enough to share, or should I abstain? Thanks.
@jordanheston i think you should add it. I also received a huge award, but I was wondering if it would be better to email it to them or upload on the portal because at this late a date, I am wondering if they’re even going to see it if I don’t email and just upload.
I’d upload. Decisions are likely already made but I don’t see any downside.
pls dont hate me for not wanting to sift through previous comments but are decisions coming out on the 28th?
Yes, 28th at 7 pm EST.
it literally says so on the portal…
My checklist disappeared too, yikes
No checklist either - we’re getting close now
Now… to check the source code or to not check the source code… that is the question
@prospie2023 what’s the source code?
Source code??
you’ll find nothing in the source code…
and if you do, well: https://www.computerworld.com/article/2568748/harvard-rejects-business-school-applicants-who-hacked-site.html
That article brings me back to when people accused me of hacking into Cornell’s website. Ah, memories
