Official 2008 Yale Transfer Thread

<p>bad news. :(</p>

<p>Why is it bad news? I saw PierreMarie's post about this earlier and it just seems to say that the matriculation rate is pretty on par with last year. So it's not like we're worse off than the 07ers.</p>

<p>well i mean, when they accept 25 kids last year and the yield is the same, it's bad news. if the yield was lower, then they might have accepted more transfers.</p>

<p>I believe they've already come out and said they were accepting 30 transfers this year. </p>

<p>Was last year an especially low year for transfer admits?</p>

<p>oh they did? 30 kids? hmmm</p>

<p>How did you hear this undisclosed?</p>

<p>i believe they accepted 28 transfers last year, and 24 matriculated. frrrph, please correct me if i'm wrong.</p>

<p>I suppose it would be better if enrollment were much lower, but it's actually a slight improvement over last year (how many transferred that year, btw?).</p>

<p>Edit: Whoops, looks like it's all been said above.</p>

<p>I dare someone to call the admissions office and ask if they have out sent out letters yet.</p>

<p>Marianneeeeee</p>

<p>I'm so tempted to call. </p>

<p>SO tempted.</p>

<p>Well its a bit impossible at the moment but nothing stops you from calling tomorrow (and then sharing the findings with your CC pals :) ). </p>

<p>I may be a masochist but I don't mind the waiting all that much. As long as it lasts I'm a Yale applicant, and not a rejected file number (It makes sense in my head).</p>

<p>Interesting logic. I think I get it :-P
I should have requested earlier notification or something... I have a school whose deposit deadline is Monday. BUT it's much more exciting to get mail. Even if it's bad mail. Plus I'm probably not going to that school. MEHHHH.</p>

<p>be aware of Marianne Arrigone's wrath...</p>

<p>haha I was SO tempted to reply to her e-mail (the one that said my application file was complete) because there were typos (tranfer instead of tranSfer)... but I figured that it was probably better to leave it alone.</p>

<p>Marianne told me good luck the other day on the phone...I felt tears coming to my eyes</p>

<p>i think marianne is among us. now wouldn't that be something hahah</p>

<p>FiREFLY9,</p>

<p>I exchanged a few emails with her (becuz i sent her my new updated accomplishments) and I had a few MAJOR typos too but she seemed not to care much. her replies were also the most positive out of all the colleges i have applied to.</p>

<p>go marianne!</p>

<p>I should have updated my accomplishments so that she would know that I saved the world. Then I'd stand a chance at being accepted ;-)</p>

<p>The wait is annoying... yet somehow exhilarating.<br>
except not because this is my ridiculously super crazy dream school. [a girl can dream though, can't she?!]</p>

<p>i like how pro-marianne emerges after my comment =P</p>
