Yale Class of 2020 applicants

@mindonmath123 I have Tor and there is literally no difference in the browser’s capabilities other than the scrambled I.P. address and access to hidden web pages. The portals just haven’t been updated yet; Tor doesn’t have any bearing on that.

To appease worried minds: NONE of the residential dorm buildings at Yale have air conditioning! So keep that in mind everybody. While some of us will be wolfing down ice cream in thirty minutes, at least we can console ourselves with that tidbit of information. :slight_smile:

accepted!!! now for this long wait till yale actually starts #boolaboola

@an1620 the chance of getting accepted after a deferral is so small that I would treat it the same as a rejection. I really wish I hadn’t checked the link because if it’s true, it was a terrible way to find out…

Why won’t people stop posting fake decisions?

Best of luck to all early applicants! Some dreams will soon come true :slight_smile:

Hi everyone! I’ve just been spectating for the past few weeks, but good luck to everyone! Can’t wait for life to unravel the way it’s supposed to.

Who are these people attacking our thread?! We all know the decision isn’t released until 5PM.

So this is it! I wish everyone all the best and regardless of what happens remember that you matter and that your dreams and future are still bright. We’re all in this together!

interviewer just notified me… not fake haha. But yeah, the portal is at 5 EST.

@kuriosmind Not necessarily. It depends on a lot of things. If they want to reject you and would never actually accept you, trust me, they wouldn’t defer your application.

Taking an informal poll…how many of you were interviewed?

Me! Got really lucky with my interviewer, we had a lot of the same interests and a similar personality!! Guess it paid off in the end haha :wink:

back from the run and feeling slightly less anxious! I want to ask, is it true that the site crashes or do people just say that? how long is it down for?

Don’t interviewers find out 3 days after we do…

@HopefulYaleMom I was! Pretty recently, though.

Interviewers don’t know for 3 more days.

My son’s interview went well too…they had a lot in common he said. I am totally not showing my anxiety to him BTW…

I had an interview this summer on campus (I live in southwestern CT)

Okay everyone. I’ve been depressed over the past 2 hours due to the link incident, but with 20 minutes left until we know our fate, I feel like it’s time for some positivity in our lives!

You’re all incredibly accomplished high school students and I have no doubt that if not at Yale, you will fall in love with another school and thrive there! We all gave our best in high school and in our applications. The decision is highly subjective and it depends on chance, but it doesn’t mean that we won’t be accepted at other top schools and become successful in life! You all possess important qualities that I admire: responsibility, empathy, humour, and so many more! It was a privilege getting to know you all over the past few weeks. I wish all the very best for you guys in your future! It’s been a crazy ride. Let’s get ready to find out our decisions! I love you all regardless of what lies ahead.
