Yale 2015 Hopefuls

<p>^ I would like to know as well.</p>

<p>But, impetuous, thank you for your advice. I guess you are right that I have a few decent scores… and I really am lacking any motivation to study yet again… perhaps I should just settle. You definitely gave me something to consider.</p>

<p>If you take the ACT, the subject tests aren’t required, but take them anyway</p>

<p>Can someone explain what the residential style housing is like? How is it different from regular dorms? I haven’t visited Yale and everyone says they like that style of housing.</p>

<p>they have residential colleges which you get assigned to and spend all four years in. The colleges have their own activities, food, etc, etc.</p>

<p>I’m applying early too. Gave the SAT 1 once. 2390. But don’t know how many SAT 2’s to give. :confused: I’ll probably be one of the apparently very few people here who just give 2. </p>

<p>i have really strong EC and sports, so does it matter that i have no work ex?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I suspect that a sizable majority of the applicants take only two, especially now that Harvard has lowered its requirement.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No. </p>

<p>Are you an international applicant?</p>

<p>yes. And in my country we don’t usually do summer jobs and the like. </p>

<p>An enthusiastic college applicant might do an internship, but that’s the exception not the norm.</p>

<p>Wow… I visited Yale today and it was AMAZING. I love’d every bit of it and I definitely think its my first choice school. But will I (and the rest of us) get in… :/</p>

<p>^ Isn’t Yale amazing? I just adored the campus even if the location wasn’t the rich neighborhood like Princeton. However it has been a while since I’ve actually visited…</p>

<p>Everybody said Brown was really spread out but then I visited Yale and realized that Yale’s campus is even more divided and spread out. I still liked it but I was expecting more of a cohesive campus.</p>

<p>^ thats true… but I just love the variety of buildings that they have. It’s just amazing!</p>

<p>The rumored Sept. 1st release of the supplement is a bit annoying, especially for SCEA applicants.</p>

<p>It’s not rumored. It’s actually coming out on September 1st according to the admissions website and the admissions office.</p>

<p>Jersey13, I thought Harvard was your #1?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Where?</p>

<p>Also, good luck to all of you '15ers! I remember being in your place a year ago… Well, not quite, since our supplement was out by now (sorry, I had to). This coming year will test you in a lot of ways - you will have moments of pride and others that will shatter your confidence. As taxing as it is, I have no doubt you’ll all be satisfied with the outcome. From the moment I was deferred on December 15, I went through a cycle of neverending rejections from countless scholarships, until finally on April 1 I got into HYP. Everyone finds that light at the end of the tunnel, though it has many different manifestations.</p>

<p>Regardless, best of luck! :)</p>

<p>“Yale’s Supplement to the Common Application will be available on September 1.

In early September we will post updated information here on the application process as well.”</p>

<p>

I don’t really have a first choice. Harvard only has RD anyways.</p>

<p>oh ok, well I am sure you can’t go wrong with either.:)</p>

<p>Wow, I’m posting pretty late, but, at least I’m not going to be criticized for preparing for Yale early. Haha. JK.
Senior Year is here.
Yale Class of 2015 hopeful!!!
Let’s Go.<br>
:slight_smile:
I don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t get in:(</p>

<p>Umm… go to another great school perhaps?:)</p>

<p>It’s so intimidating getting on this site and reading how accomplished ya’ll are!!</p>
