<p>My goal is to have everything finished and submitted by Saturday. I’ll get to not miss Halloween festivities too. Thank goodness I don’t have any major schoolwork due this week.</p>
<p>Today’s the big day for me! I’ve been waiting on my rank for like two weeks, but I’m now ready to submit.</p>
<p>Do we get a confirmation email? I submitted my app day before but haven’t got one yet.</p>
<p>^ You get an email with your Eli account info. It takes a few weeks, though. I think I got mine two weeks after I submitted my app (submitted Oct 7, got the email on the 21st). I believe their website says you should get an email regarding your Eli account within three weeks.</p>
<p>ahhhh! i would do annnnnyyyyyyything to get into Yale</p>
<p>Hmm, I didn’t realize that they wanted your common app essay to also be below 500 words. Looks like I will be having fun with my 650 word essay now <em>sigh</em>…
I don’t think any other schools say that though, as long as it doesn’t get too lengthy?</p>
<p>650 words should be fine, I think. My common app essay was 750ish words, and I was accepted (after being deferred SCEA). My supplement essay was only 450ish though.</p>
<p>If you get your Eli account e-mail within 3 weeks, how do you know they’ve received all the components of your application? For example, my counselor sent her rec by mail, so how will I know Yale’s received it? Call?</p>
<p>^I second that question.</p>
<p>^^ I think they’ll notify you if something’s missing from your application.</p>
<p>I’m calling today to check if my teachers forms are there. The express service says it is, but I just wanted to be sure.</p>
<p>Does Yale care about the essay portion of the SAT? Like, if I got a 780 Writing score, with an 80 on the MC and an 8 on the essay (I have no idea what happened), will they consider my individual essay score, and view my application as lesser? What about if I got an 11 on the essay the last time I took the SAT?</p>
<p>I just got my SAT 2 scores. Do I have to rush them? Or is regular fine?</p>
<p>^regular is fine, some schools do not like recieving rush scores for some reason</p>
<p>Thanks. Just sent them!</p>
<p>Wagsthedog, I’m sure they look at the score, but that will definitely not be what makes or breaks your application. Like you, I got an 80 on multiple choice and an 8 on the essay (for a 770 overall). I still got in. I highly doubt anyone will care about your SAT essay score if your actual application essays are great.</p>
<p>Does the SCEA application require a midsemester report? Was that part of the counselor application?
Agh…</p>
<p>I didn’t include my act without writing on the self report section. What should I do??? I already submitted it</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That depends, is it a better or worse score?</p>
<p>Either way, if contacting them would let you sleep at night, I’d do that.</p>
<p>It was the same basically. My counselor put the score on my transcript. I don’t want them to think I was hiding it</p>
