<p>In years past, those applying SCEA to Yale became a pretty tight-knit community during the whole process. Might as well start now!</p>
<p>This thread will basically be a discussion free-for-all between all those applying early to Yale. Feel free to share stories, ask questions, complain, etc. It's more of a place for us to share in the traumatic experience that is college applications/decisions. </p>
<p>I'll start! How's everyone's senior year going so far?</p>
<p>Pretty good! Really busy but glad that my applications are almost done! What does everyone want to major in at Yale?</p>
<p>That’s great, Swimfreak! My senior year’s been the busiest of the four, but I’m liking it too!</p>
<p>As for majors, I’m aiming for MB&B, although a double major in Political Science or English is also pretty tempting. </p>
<p>Side note: What’s everyone’s opinion on New Haven? Despite the complaints people seem to have about the area, I actually like it.</p>
<p>This thread is a great idea! I’m applying early as well, and senior year has definitely been the busiest. As for New Haven, it’s really not as bad of an area as everyone says. You’re going to have a fair share of crime in any city. </p>
<p>Better question: How are you guys doing with the supplement?</p>
<p>MODERATOR NOTE: </p>
<p>Welcome SCEA Applicants for the Class of 2016! </p>
<p>I will start a SCEA Results thread the day before decisions are sent, any threads started earlier will be deleted. Please use the Results thread for listing decisions with the format provided, and keep discussions on this thread. The value of the Results thread as a resource for future applicants is increased when extraneous discussion is kept to a minimum, keeping the thread at a manageable length.</p>
<p>Thanks and good luck to all!</p>
<p>how long do they take to confirm receipt of your app? im starting to get worried :(</p>
<p>kangaroo23 - After I got over the shock of only having a 25 word limit, I actually found the short takes quite enjoyable. Now to finish that supplemental essay…</p>
<p>lalachica - I’ve heard of it taking a few days for confirmation to be sent, but there have probably been more extreme cases. Have you considered e-mailing a regional rep about it?</p>
<p>Hey all! I’m applying SCEA also. The supplement’s going well. I have to do some polishing over the next week with my essays before I consider submitting this month.</p>
<p>How many of you have visited?</p>
<p>@concerto, i’m starting to think yale hates me 
I emailed the FA office since September, they havent replied yet. and i sent in my SCEA app like 2 weeks ago and they didnt reply. every other school that i applied regular dec to has already confirmed receipt of my app. i’m starting to think i wasted my EA app on yale sighhsssssssss</p>
<p>probs lalachica.</p>
<p>I’m applying early, but I’m kind of like “I’m not a slam dunk applicant… but might as well go for it” haha</p>
<p>To respond to everything: I finished CA essay… still need to do Yale supp and Why Yale. Senior year is going well. I have visited. I like New Haven a lot, actually.</p>
<p>Well that was succinct, notanengineer!</p>
<p>Side note: For those utilizing the additional information section, how much explanation are you giving extra honors/specific activities within extracurriculars you’ve listed? I can’t decide whether or not an added description would hurt or help.</p>
<p>Can someone please clarify exactly what Yale’s SCEA is? I figured here would be a good place to ask.</p>

<p>I honestly didn’t care too much for Yale until I visited and fell in massive love for it @___@</p>
<p>I was just there today for my on-campus interview. If you’re on the fence about Yale, visit and I promise you will fall in love. </p>
<p>Are you guys writing the supplemental essay as if it were a second common app essay?</p>
<p>Yes I am. And for anyone also applying to Harvard… You can use it for that supplement too :)</p>
<p>I’m applying SCEA Yale as well; good luck everyone.</p>
<p>When will you hear from Yale about whether or not you’ve been accepted (for those who apply SCEA)?</p>
