<p>I sent a fax to my admissions man (Lester!) a few weeks ago because two articles did stories about a large community service endeavor that I'm leading in my city. This afternoon (two weeks later), he confirms that he got it?</p>
<p>Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay or what do you think that it means?</p>
<p>I sent an email on Dec 1st to my admissions rep about AP awards and didn't get a response either. I figured she was either too busy looking at applications or had already decided that I was a lost cause. Hoping for the former, of course. :)</p>
<p>I sent 2 updates to the admissions office. One on paper (like 2 weeks ago) and one by e-mail. My admissions officer wrote back to me saying that he put it into my file. He ALSO said " A copy of your email has been included in the admissions file for review by the Yale Admissions Committee." In the Princeton Review book, it says that Yale uses a regional preliminary screening for all applicants. Does this mean I got past the first round? Anyone know anything about this "regional preliminary screening"?</p>
<p>Typically, the first round is just to identify those that CLEARLY have ZERO chance of making it into Yale. So yes, you probably made it past the first round. However, that shouldn't be much of a surprise to you.</p>
