<p>I've heard stories of a friend's friend who applied to MIT EA and was rejected and then applied regular and was accepted...</p>
<p>My question isn't what are the chances or whatever but if anyone has ever heard of this being done for Yale? In my 2nd app I plan to submit an additional essay detailing why I think I should be reconsidered/why I'd be valuable/etc... but again, my question isnt on what or how I should do it, its whether or not I can...</p>
<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>No don't bother - there was a reason you were rejected in the first place.</p>
<p>yea that's more of a flame than an answer to the question....</p>
<p>Call it a flame, but it's true. If they rejected you, that had a good reason to do so. You can try again, but I don't think it will increase your chances all that much.</p>
<p>Sorry, but the truth is that if they wanted you they would have at least deferred you</p>
<p>And Im not even sure if you can reapply. I know for ED that if you get rejected you cant apply again</p>
<p>It was not a flame, just brutal honesty.</p>
<p>I don't think that is possible. I don't know for a fact, but I think if you are rejected you can not reapply RD. Maybe you were mistaken about your friend's friend, and he/she was actually deferred not rejected?</p>
<p>Also, frankly, being rejected from Yale not deferred, means that one essay will not get you accepted. Obviously they were not close to admitting you...if it was questionable you would have been deferred. One essay does not add that much information to change a decision that much. If you won some extremely prestigious award after they made the decision, maybe that would be a different story.</p>
<p>THe ED/EA outcomes are as follows: admit, deny or defer.</p>
<p>If you have been denied admission as far as the admissions committee is concerned they are finished with your application. Re-applying will do nothing for you but to waste your money as the decision of the tribal counsel (especially regarding a denial) is final.</p>
