<p>does Yale usually give an email heads up for its notification date?</p>
<p>Ages ago, when you submitted your complete EA application, you should have received an email with Subject: “Yale - Important Application Information”.</p>
<p>Within is the following:
</p>
<p>You should already have this email…
MANY other threads have asked exactly the same question…</p>
<p>sure, but dartmouth had stuff like that too and bumped it a week early. columbia as well had that in their original email and sent out a confirmation tonight. does yale usually do the same thing? the reason i ask is that in earlier threads, it seems like a bunch of people alluded to them possibly bumping up the notification date.</p>
<p>I think I read somewhere (in another one of these topics), that Yale rarely, if ever, bumps its notification date forward. It might not even be at 5pm EST, but sometime that evening.</p>
<p>The one thing I’m wondering is if they e-mail you on the 15th, either saying your decision is out or telling you your results.</p>
<p>I don’t think Yale ever officially bumps forward its notification date; just some of the results are up on the server earlier so people can find out a bit earlier.
I’m not sure about the email confirmation, but I do know they do not email you your result unless you don’t check the server in the first 72 hours of official release. They might email to tell you it’s up though, I dunno…</p>
<p>^^Cornell bumped theirs up to THIS THURSDAY
lucky ducks</p>
<p>I don’t believe that Yale “officially” moves the notification date, but I know (from people who have applied SCEA) that they often post the results on the site a day or two (or a couple of hours) early, as EphemeralEternal stated.</p>
<p>^^ =O crap why did I read that!? Now I’m going to be compulsively checking from the 13th onward …</p>
<p>^Haha; Yale might certainly have decisions up a bit earlier. I read on another thread virtually all decisions are made (except for those on the cusp of admit/defer and defer/reject), so they would have most in their server…I don’t really know why they don’t just release them as soon as they are finished processing them, rather than waiting to a semi-arbitrary date…</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there is an official time on the 15th that the results are available?</p>
<p>Official time is 5 PM Eastern</p>
<p>The official time is 5 pm EST, as far as I’m aware. Someone correct me if that’s changed.
Oops, bluescreen beat me to it, although that question has been asked/answered far too many times on various threads…</p>
<p>It looks like the decisions ended up coming out around 6:15 last year judging by the results thread.</p>
<p>I highly doubt decisions will come out before 5 pm. only because I heard from other CCers that the system crashes sometimes with all 5000+ applicants checking at the same time. I don’t think they send an email either unless maybe you haven’t checked your status for a while.</p>
<p>^No, they definitely send an email. My understanding is that the email doesn’t contain your actual decision, but that it directs you to a page that will tell you. </p>
<p>Could any 2013ers give some input?</p>
<p>Yale hasn’t listed an official time so just trying to figure out how it all unfolds. D has a rehearsal at 6 pm; am trying to convince her best to wait until she comes home to check for results…
So rockermcr how do you know they definitely send an email?</p>
<p>and why do some posters think you can get a decision early?</p>
<p>I have a question, do they let you know for early decision ON the 15th december, or BY the 15th december? Because for regular decision I know that although the official deadline is sometime in March, most people who get in find out before then and it’s the rejections that come through on the official date. So does everybody find out on the 15th or thereabouts?</p>
<p>knowing ppl that were accepted EA last year, all decisions are out on the 15th</p>
<p>Yale stated on its website that results will come out around evening on the 15th.</p>
<p>Some posters are thinking you can get a decision early because:
- their counsellors were called for further info and the adcoms gave away a favourable tone
- Questbridge results were out over a week ago or so
- Places like Stanford and Swarthmore announced their EA/ED decisions earlier this year</p>
