<p>Hi,
I'm a senior who applied to Yale SCEA and waiting for decisions (a month!). This past week, I had a verbal fight with one of my friends (who's not applying to Yale), and he got so angry that he threatened to send a letter to Yale, attacking my application. (Among other stuff, writing that I'm not the president of X club, although I am) Should I be worried about this? What would Yale do when such a letter (anonymous or not) comes in?</p>
<p>It is up to the college whether they want to investigate claims made in anonymous letters. This is actually a bit more common with parents trying to pull down their child's peers and whether or not the college investigates depends on what kinds of things the accusations are.</p>
<p>President of X club seems pretty silly to me since a quick 2 minute call to your guidance counselor can take care of that. But if it's like cheating, underage drinking, drugs, etc etc obviously there will be a little bit more thought. I wouldn't worry too much tho since it seems you are innocent.</p>
<p>they might be worried, especially if they mention your name, so yeah, be aware; first of all, dont try to get in that kind of situation</p>
<p>omg. your friend is such an ignorant jerk. threatening someone's future over a verbal fight?!?!?!?! i think you should threaten him/her back!</p>
<p>First, the credibility is questionable if it's anonymous and none of the information is verifiable.</p>
<p>Second, if the information is readily accessible, you shouldn't have a problem. You may want to bring it up with your GC LATER, not now, if for some reason you honestly think he's serious or whatever. I wouldn't worry too much.</p>
<p>Please do yourself a favor though: Don't tell anyone where you're applying from now on.</p>
<p>Don't worry. I know a guy who got into a fight with one of his peers. The angry student sent a letter to every graduate school the guy was applying to stating that he was unqualified, a liar, etc. </p>
<p>The guy got into one of Harvard's graduate schools. No one takes this kind of information seriously.</p>
<p>Are you serious?</p>
<p>Unless there is a clear reason why the person doesn't have a bias, I don't see why the colleges would take this seriously.</p>
<p>and even if the letter is sent... you can prove your innocence. So no harm there. And make sure you break his nose in if he ever does.</p>
