I was deferred SCEA from Yale. What is the best way to submit an update? Can I also submit a music supplement?
There are instructions online about how to submit an update - via fax or emailing a general mailbox (not the regional counselor).
Here is what came up when I googled:
- Whenever you write to us, please be sure to include, at the beginning of your message:
Your full name
Your high school’s full name and location (city or town, state or province, and country if outside the USA)
Your telephone number
Your Yale application ID number (9xxxxxxxx), if applicable
Please do not email individual admissions officers with updates for your application. If you feel that something not included in your submitted application is critical enough that it needs to be added to your file, you should either fax it to 203.777.6120 or email it to apply.questions@yale.edu (link sends e-mail), which is monitored by our file room.
We do not record these inquiries and they do not affect our admissions decisions, so please contact staff only when necessary.
Please do not send application updates directly to your admissions officer. Information will reach your file most quickly for review if it is faxed to our file room at 203.777.6120 or emailed to apply.questions@yale.edu. *
Music supplement deadline has passed - it was 1/1 for RD.
Is it safe to assume the update I sent from the update link during SCEA got through to Yale or should I restate that information along with the rest of my new update? I’m probably just being paranoid. Thanks!
I would assume that anything you sent got to them.
If the update is a really big one, totally unique and transformative to your application, might be good for GC to touch base. Otherwise I would trust the communication chain of command as Yale defines it above.
