<p>In order to protect anonymity, I will not divulge too much information, but....</p>
<p>There is a certain accepted students message board, in which students claim to have somehow already been "accepted" to Yale. They clarify that they received likelies by other schools, but are already "in" at Yale. This is very confusing, because they applied Early to a different school, a school which would not let them apply early anywhere else...so, any ideas?</p>
<p>Has anyone else been notified early of their RD status? "Likely Letter" recipients don't count.... :confused:</p>
<p>The thing that i found unusual about the posters on this accepted students site was that they made a clear distinction about likely letters and official "admits"....I know for a fact that some who claimed they have been already "accepted" are not recruited athletes, so.... this is strange :-</p>
<p>They haven't been OFFICIALLY accepted, but Yale is one of those schools that send out "likely" letters. "Likely letters" are pretty much equivalent to acceptance letters because they are only sent to people who have a 99% chance of being accepted come April.</p>
<p>[edit] You editted your post. Anyway, in that case, they are lying. Colleges are very secure about decisions.</p>
<p>no, lol, thats not the case....this is another school's EARLY accepted student site- NOT Yale's...Yale doesn't allow you to apply to two school's early</p>
<p>That's an honor/ethical thing but there's nothing really preventing them from applying to two schools early, esp if they're early action, the schools may never find out.</p>
<p>so the rumor about there being a "list" of accepted Early applicants is just a myth?</p>
<p>btw, what kinda counselor sends out recs and counselor reports for a student they KNOW is breaking a contract by applying to two SCEA/binding early programs????</p>
<p>Some people are just not that informed. A lot of gc suck actually, and yea it's possible they don't care about breaking the rules. But most likely they're just uninformed as to what SCEA means. Sighh there are all kinds of people out there huh?</p>
<p>hmm i'm not sure. maybe since it's Common App, if you're applying online, the Common App won't let you apply EA if you're going Yale SCEA. and slicm...i hate to say it, but some counselors are prob. like that, and want their kids to get into good schools, so that it reflects favorably upon them and the high school...sad, but true</p>
<p>hey zante, i've been wondering for a while what your ID means?</p>
<p>Yale isnt allowed to accept people until April 1, because of the Ivy agreement. They're either lying or terribly confused if they didn't apply early.</p>
<p>I really don't get why someone would lie about it, but hey.</p>
