<p>applying as a junior :)</p>
<p>Applying, but not holding my breath.</p>
<p>Although I am pretty sure I am an auto-reject, I still want to ask: how do we check if they have received our documents? </p>
<p>Can we call the office or do they not answer on calls anything to do with checking documents? I currently attend a very disorganized university so I am not sure if my documents made there yet (or if they sent it at all).</p>
<p>applying as a soph right here ivy</p>
<p>stats anyone? how do you guys feel about your decision? i for one think i'll be waitlisted, and possibly (knock on wood) admitted.</p>

<p>applying as a soph!</p>
<p>Hi guys, I applied and was accepted as a Yale transfer last year. Since the current group of transfers are some of the absolutely coolest people I've ever met, chances are you are just as awesome of a bunch - so if there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask.</p>
<p>Hey I have a question. </p>
<p>When you get accepted...do they room all the transfers on the same floor? I know that most students at harvard have their own rooms after freshman year, and then they have "block mates". So does yale assign the transfers as "block mates" or do they sort of spread them out?</p>
<p>It depends. Most of us got spread out, but I know two pairs that room together and several others that got put in the same residential college. But as a rule they won't huddle you into a separate clump, no.</p>
<p>frrrph, i know interviews are not required for transfers, but did you get one?</p>
<p>last night i dreamt that i got an acceptance letter...only to be woken up by the dorm coordinator knocking on our door at 820am -- to come check out the rat problem in our room ):</p>
<p>I applied- have no expectation of acceptance.</p>
<p>You think Yale takes people that applies just for the heck of it? (My stats are pretty solid in terms of GPA/SAT and all that...) It's my essay that I'm more concerned with. It wasn't so much precise as it was "abstract".</p>
<p>hahah i quoted a line "Yale is at once a company of scholars, and a society of friends" and basically talked about how I wanted to join Yale's unique social atmosphere.</p>
<p>truazn, believe me, i am confident in your chances of getting in.
if you don't mind me asking--by "abstract," what do you mean? :) did you write an essay with an off-the-wall-format? :) i'm just curious.</p>
<p>frrrph,</p>
<p>What were your grades and classes that you took to be accepted into Yale?</p>
<p>from the Yale Daily News (24 March 2008, in light of the Harvard transfer incident):</p>

While Yale also faces housing limitations, the admissions office has no plans to revisit its transfer-student policy, Dean of Admissions Jeff Brenzel said last week. </p>
<p>“The number of transfer students is so small that it does not significantly affect campus housing,” Brenzel wrote in an e-mail. “We are not planning any changes in the program at this time.” </p>
<p>Yale admits about 30 transfer students each year out of a pool of around 800, with the goal of matriculating about 24, Brenzel said. For the 2007-’08 academic year, 28 out of 778 applicants were admitted, for an acceptance rate of 3.6 percent.

<p>Nope, my essay was not really unique in any sense (format or content)
In fact as I looked back there were a couple of typos</p>
