Any Yale Applicants here?
I applied RD…
ACT: 35
SAT 2: Phy 700; Math 2 790
5 APs - 11th Grade (5s & 4s)
4 APs; 2 Honor Courses - 12th Grade
EC: volunteer work (founded an NGO), MUNs, some local & school competitions, no international/national achievements 
financial aid requested
Essays were pretty neat 
No idea of recoms, my teachers like me as a student but hate me as a schoolboy 
What are my chances?
Fellow applicant to Yale here.
Can’t really say honestly. You have good stats so definitely a chance, but with the competition nowadays you can’t really say.
Anybody got Interview email yet?
From which college?
Did anyone from Pakistan get an interview email from Dartmouth or Harvard? Do you know of any applicants who got it? I’m asking because Harvard and Dartmouth interviews are supposed to be selective for Pakistani students.
@ADP2322 what do you mean by selective?
@AltoDuke If you select the 20% to 40% acceptance rate options the universities that pop up don’t give financial aid.
Do I get several copies of my official certificates for colleges? or will they be okay with transcripts
@namelessmonster Only shortlisted people get the interview.
Still a month to go till my first college decision. Can’t wait!
The Dartmouth interview has nothing to do with the shortlist. @ADP2322
“Interviews are not required and in many cases not available. While our alumni work hard to offer as many interviews as possible, we are not able to offer interviews to all applicants.
Not having an interview will not put you at a disadvantage in the admissions process. However, if you are offered an interview, it can help you learn something new about Dartmouth and allow you to add a little more of your own voice to your application.”
^ @ADP2322 I think that’s the case.
I applied to both Dartmouth and Harvard 
so hopes high
Hope you get in! @namelessmonster
@LisaMK THANKS LISA, MEANS ALOT!
@LisaMK I know that is what the website says, but that’s not the case for Pakistan. Since last year, Dartmouth has only been offering interviews to shortlisted candidates. My Dartmouth interviewer himself told me that. And as far as Harvard is concerned, its a known fact in Pakistan that only shortlisted applicants get a Harvard interview (4-5 applicants from the entire country), as that has been the case for many years now in Pakistan. Yes, the website does not mention this, but this is the case for Harvard and Dartmouth. For the rest of the 6 ivies, this is not the case.
This isn’t good news for me then, I didn’t get offered an interview from Dartmouth.
How did your interview go? @ADP2322
Congratulations on making it to the shortlist though
ADP2322 is right. I don’t quite know about Dartmouth, however, Harvard only offers to interview candidates that are likely to be admitted.
I emailed Dartmouth. They denied having such system in place.
But whatever the case it really doesn’t matter. Nobody applies to an ivy with high hopes anyways.
@LisaMK Thanks! My interview was good, I guess.
