Official Fall 2017 Yale Transfer Thread

Nice job! Congratulations!! @milkshakezzz

@acardenas Thank you! I’m excited, wherever I end up will be awesome. A very tenured professor at Yale Med said he would be willing to collaborate with me on a research project. Might turn this project into my senior thesis!

Where have you applied?

The portal appearance changed today–my materials checklist is gone! Does anyone else see this?

@milkshakezzz just Yale! I studied there two summers ago, (couple of credits) and that experience led me to apply to American colleges. (International student). However, I’m having a hard time socially at my current school! (I’m studying engineering, so I focused on applying to top engineering schools). I would much rather go back to Yale than staying, even if my program is better on paper (for engineering majors). I miss the environment every day! I guess a liberal arts school compliments my intellectual pursuits best, and I didn’t realize it until now haha. (As in, I love engineering, but I need my humanities to live.) Hopefully this makes sense! I’m not just trying to leave my current school, I want to attend Yale specifically.

Is anybody interested in exchanging essays? I know I asked this before, but I genuinely love hearing people’s perspectives on other people’s writing. If not, that’s fine.

Where else did you apply? @milkshakezzz

@milkshakezzz congrats on Wesleyan! i found out from them today too, but was sadly waitlisted :frowning: hopefully a spot opens up for me!

Best of luck, @tc20498! According to its common data set, Wesleyan took in about 28% of transfer applicants last fall, so hopefully, they’ll admit you as well!

Does anybody know if Yale has already made its transfer decisions? Or are they still waiting to finalize their decisions?

.

@dulais my checklist disappeared as well

@XCX0501 thank you!! on one hand i’m glad i wasn’t rejected, but on the other, now i have to wait even longer to see if anything opens up. fingers crossed!

because the checklist disappeared, i’m under the impression that final decisions have already been made… but that’s just a hunch!

@tc20498 At the same time, I don’t see why they would wait until the end of the week to release decisions if that were the case. Hmm.

@milkshakezzz congrats on Wesleyan. What were your other college decisions?

God Yale is so selective I am low-key just expecting a rejection

Honestly, the best mentality is to be pleasantly surprised if you do get in, rather than getting your hopes up beforehand. :confused:

is it confirmed that decisions come out tomorrow?

Yes! Called the admissions office earlier today.

I hope it’s through the portal and not email

Typically there’s an email notification that directs you to the portal itself. Why do you prefer email? lol

Cause I saw on past threads some people got emails like in the morning with acceptances
