New Dealine for SCEA?

<p>i just went to my common app account online, and i noticed that they changed my deadline for the Yale SCEA app. Is it a mistake, or could it be that they're giving me an extension cause i live in florida and didn't get power until yesterday cause of Wilma. It's crazy down here. 98% of south florida didnt have power on monday and we havent had school for a week. maybe that's why, or did everyone else's change too?</p>

<p>Hmm, says the same thing for me, though I'm not sure why they would choose to do that. A cursory glance at the website also didn't reveal any indication that they'd changed the date--wouldn't a change like that be pretty widely publicized?</p>

<p>Perhaps it's a commonapp.org glitch. Who knows?</p>

<p>Edit: Mine "says the same thing" as the original poster saw--11/15.</p>

<p>Mine says 11/15...</p>

<p>11/15 too...</p>

<p>mine also says 11/15! sweet mother of god, it would be amazing if this is an actual extension!</p>

<p>mine says it too. but on the application they REQUEST that early action candidates submit by october 15.</p>

<p>Has there been any formal saying that the new deadline is 11/15 on the yale website or any where else?</p>

<p>hmm not that I know of, but the common app definitely says 11/15. but I think until I see hard evidence from Yale, I'm still going to send by 11/1</p>

<p>oh man, this could be bad. i hope that they havent extended teh notification date (if it's true the application date is extended). i sent mine, but now i wish i could have it back so i could change things (post-sendin freakout, if you will)</p>

<p>check again guys. common app has changed it back to the first.</p>

<p>We are posting to this discussion thread and others that there is an error on the Common App site as of yesterday afternoon (10/28) with respect to Yale's SCEA deadline. The deadline is still November 1, and Yale's web site still says November 1, though in one place on the Common App site, a mistaken deadline appeared yesterday. The mistake apparently occurred due to an effort we are making to provide a time extension for Early Action applicants from the hurricane-affected areas of the Gulf Coast and Florida. Unfortunately, this effort on our part triggered a change -- without our knowledge -- to a date in Yale's information box pop-up on the Common App web site. If you are not being schooled in the affected areas, your Early Action deadline has not changed. It is still 11/1. We are attempting to have the Common App web site corrected today (10/29), and to put a clarifying notice about an extension for hurricane-affected areas as soon as possible on the front page of the Yale admissions Web site. If you are being schooled in the hurricane-affected areas, please check <a href="http://www.yale.edu/admit%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.yale.edu/admit&lt;/a> tomorrow morning (10/30) for an update.</p>

<p>I guess that's Jeff Brenzel, the new admissions dean. We should all feel special now.</p>

<p>now that's what I call personal attention! proof as well that admcoms patrol these boards.</p>

<p>Don't everyone try to suck up at once.</p>

<p>When I saw that I was like, "OMG! Yale adcoms come here!" Then I realized they probably don't read anything on here; they're just posting out of courtesy. Honestly, petty SAT concerns of Eli-wannabes would not be captivating reading.</p>

<p>OMG Jeffrey Benzel was here!!</p>

<p>don't be surprised if this is the only post that he makes.</p>

<p>It's so unfortunate that you guys have a 11/15 deadline while stanford has 11/1 deadline boo!!</p>

<p>yale's deadline is 11/1</p>
