Official Yale SCEA Countdown Thread!

<p>Cuz black people live there. Scaaaary.</p>

<p>...duh.</p>

<p>I finally sent it in! I'm so proud of myself!</p>

<p>Now I must wait.</p>

<p>Hey you wonderful yale 2013 hopefuls!</p>

<p>I've just submitted my app :)))))))
can anyone please please set up the facebook yale 2013 group for scea hopefuls? We need the group at this point!</p>

<p>Remember what happened to the last group? Nobody got in. I am superstitious and I would be afraid to jinx it by joining this year's.</p>

<p>Got my Eli ID today!</p>

<p>Although I wouldn't count on much before December 15. They need all the time they can get with probably ~4,000 applicants to read, debate, and decide. I'm counting down the days.</p>

<p>And judging by past CC threads, anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of us should get in!</p>

<p>Do the Eli ID's only come through snail mail?</p>

<p>At my Ds info session the Admissions person said they are processed each Monday and mailed (snail), although I think they did have a different procedure for International Applicants. The letter (which peeks through the little plastic window) is blue by the way.</p>

<p>I got mine about a week or two after I submiteed my application, in all it was pretty quick. Does anyone know how we set up interviews?</p>

<p>Dbate - They will contact you if they have an interview slot available for you.</p>

<p>Wait for a phone call.</p>

<p>My Eli came about 14-15 days after I submitted. It's all snail mail, and it doesn't even let you know if school forms/teacher recs are missing until Nov 15th anyway.</p>

<p>Update: the letter which bore my Eli ID confirmed that the notification date was indeed December 15.</p>

<p>oooh yay! thanks for that snippet of information, cato!</p>

<p>I just submitted my supplement, common app, and financial aid stuff....NOW FOR THE WAIT!! :D</p>

<p>Ahhhhh!!! </p>

<p>any other international SCEAs here?? T___T I'm spazzing :(</p>

<p>Hey! I'm an int'l SCEA applicant from Hong Kong :)</p>

<p>YES!!!! APP IS IN!!!! At 1:31 in the morning!!!! Now the waiting game... then UC apps... then other Common App school apps... sigh...</p>

<p>.....sent it last night in the wee hours. it's a weird feeling.</p>

<p>oh, when is fin. aid stuff due? how intensive is it to apply? i went on the PROFILE site for a few minutes and it seemed intimidating...maybe because I've never filed taxes?</p>

<p>From the College Board Profile site:</p>

<p>Yale University deadlines
Early Filing: 03-Nov-2008
Priority Filing: 02-Mar-2009</p>

<p>I suggest you have all relevant tax forms (parents' and applicant's), current pay stubs, bank and mortgage statements, account summaries, and investment inventories at hand. Be prepared to project income and taxes for this year, too. (Three cheers for Quicken for making this easier.) If your family owns its home and hasn't had a recent appraisal, try zillow.com for a rough-and-ready estimate. This will take a while...</p>

<p>How does Yale know whether you are early filing or priority filing?</p>
