<p>Hey chaps,</p>

<p>I applied to Yale SCEA and am curious, has anyone heard from Yale since submission? Maybe it's just me being paranoid but it seems like everything has been really silent over here.. I had my interview recently but other than that, I haven't received any communication other than my Eli account setup and everything. Is this what's happening to everyone or is it just me? My parents didn't go to college in the US (they went to school in England) and so everyone in my family is very new at this whole application process...</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Also, is it weird that I received an interview but some of my friends who are VERY qualified and applied to Yale SCEA (valedictorian, eic of school newspaper, USAMO) haven’t yet received an interview? Do interviews mean anything? My sis hasn’t received one either and we’re all getting nervous. I know she could totally rock one and talk more about herself than an app can portray and it seems like a shame that she doesn’t get an interview. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>^You and your sister are both applying to Yale in the same year? Am i understanding this correctly? If so, that must be AWKWARDDDD</p>

<p>Doesn’t seem “silent” to me. Those are the only two things you need. I haven’t heard of anyone receiving anything else.</p>

<p>You’re in the same boat as everyone else, aside from recruited athletes.</p>

6

<p>At least you’ve had an interview :P, I’ve been relegated to simply my Eli account.
But yeah, like the others said, you guys are both fine!</p>

<p>My regional admissions rep and I hang out on Skype for a few hours every weekend. So far we’ve exchanged some great couscous recipes.</p>

8

<p>^lol, care to share the recipe?</p>

9

<p>It involves kalamata olives, lemon juice and black pepper. That’s all I can say.</p>

10

<p>Not even an interview yet. :confused: But neither of the other two from my school who applied SCEA have an interview yet either. But still. D:</p>

11

<p>Just be chill. The silence is just them reading, and reading, and reading…</p>

12

<p>^ terrifying</p>

<p>I received a call from a rep about a week after submitting the application. We talked at a cafe while I sipped Red Bull like a sugar depraved 3 year old. Our interview lasted over an hour, and I’m starting to think that she thinks I’m totally bonkers. However, I did receive emails from her regarding clubs. Other than that I’ve no contact with anyone from Yale. I’m sure they have their knickers deep in applications and etc (especially since midterms are approaching). I suppose all we can do is wait for Armageddon on December 15.</p>

14

<p>Some people I know have been asked to clarify on details regarding their app, and everybody I’ve known who has gone to Yale (probably about 5, but I “know” probably about 10 from my school by name so I would say 50% of people who got in got some sort of after-inquiry) has received contact after submission aside from interview-contact. Does this mean something?</p>

15

<p>I haven’t been contacted except by my interviewer</p>

16

<p>Huh that’s interesting, I haven’t heard of after-inquiries for application details. Though I guess those are a good thing, if you answer correctly :P</p>

17

<p>Oh man. I haven’t received any after-inquiries. Has anyone else here?</p>

18

<p>I haven’t even received an interview. Count your blessings.</p>

<p>No but from the responses here, you’re totally fine.</p>
