Yale Class of 2029 Official RD Thread

Ok so no interview = Rejected

No interview for S25 either…
Good luck to all of you!!

3 ppl I know that got into yale early all got interviewed

No interview either. No likely letter from Yale or any Ivy. Thursday should be interesting.

Ur fine. They only interview borderline people. If youre not interviewed, they know their decision

Also - my friend didn’t get one and he’s a 2 gen legacy.

The discussion about interviews should have ran its course a while ago. I understand there’s some anxiety with decisions in 2 days, but just keep tight. Your decision has already been made, and there’s no point in stressing yourself or anyone else out. Good luck everyone!

so most ppl who arent interviewed are prob athletes, legacies, geniuses or unique background ?

No genius is not incl, my classmate who got Yale in 2023 took calc bc as an 8th grader, went to RSI etc, he had an interview. I feel like no interview, ur chances are over. Expect a rejection if youre not hooked

yea I think everyone should be expected to get rejected lowkey

Yes, clearly there is smth they saw so they interviewed those people, just move on. We didn’t get in as we didn’t pass the first stage.

why so pessimistic? be delulu like me lol

Loll I dnt want to get my hopes up unnecessarily but valid

Fact is, unless you are a recruited athlete or the kid of a big donor, or winner of some nationally recognized contest, you should never expect to get in to any school with an admissions rate of less than 10%. There are going to be thousands, tens of thousands of super qualified applicants. Everyone should shoot their shot(s), but have affordable safeties/matches in your back pocket that you would be happy to attend. Getting into a reach is just the cherry on top.

Yes, but hope for the best :grinning_face::crossed_fingers:

Does anybody know anyone who’s gotten into Yale w/o an interview? What about internationals? Just holding out for some hope

Also, is there any fun portal astrology?

About 9% of applicants get in w/o an interview. Most are legacy/athlete.

and the ones who arent legacy/athlete? are they like elite?
