@pathesthetic … I’m already an international student applying to the US so all I’m hearing is that my chances at Yale are even worse.
@ammielove I’m sorry to hear that… Yes I too feel as if I have no chance to get in (not only into Yale) and feel bad because of it. I guess the best thing we should do is try to bond with our safeties.
@pathestheric I have offer from Columbia but the financial aid isn’t enough. The only ones left are HYP and Stanford which I have 0 chance of getting in.
Yale-NUS decisions came out. I would’ve laughed out load if I’d gotten in.
why did yale-nus give out results a week before yale… now we get to spend an extra week feeling like shit wooo
@ammielove Yale-NUS is much harder to get into than even Yale, so don’t feel too bad. It does suck to see a rejection letter though, I won’t lie.
Hi guys, what is the accept chance by Yale if already accepted by Yale NUS?
@luck2017 The exact same chance as if not accepted by Yale NUS. They are completely different institutions. It’s like asking the acceptance chance of Yale after being accepted to another Ivy – no correlation at all
Thanks @masquerade98 !!
@masquerade98 Has anyone actually calculated the correlation coefficients of Ivy admissions decisions? I’m guessing they are low, but not “no correlation at all” – and probably substantial variation in all the pairwise correlations. (E.g, Brown-Yale higher than Cornell-Harvard.) Would love to see that analysis using several years’ worth of admissions stats.
Welp found out i was rejected from Yale-NUS. Not surprising though considering I didn’t even send my scores.
How many of you who were rejected/waitlisted by Yale-NUS honestly considered attending the school? Lol
Nope
@Afrikal lol I didn’t even do their ‘optional’ supplemental. I just sent the app to Yale NUS because there wasn’t anything to lose in doing so
@masquerade98 Same here!!
Oops didn’t even know there was an optional supplemental. I just clicked the box because, as you guys said, there was nothing to lose.
All of u … hav u got interview ?
I knew there was an optional supplement… but I couldn’t be bothered to do it. i will take being waitlisted as an achievement then lol
i bet the only reason yale-nus acceptance rate is so low is because 80% of applicants just apply by ticking the box (they actually have their own application portal which most people who seriously want to go there use to apply). and then most dont even send the supplement or scores.
can confirm I didn’t send a supplement or scores lmao
but at the same time, an SAT average of 1440 for a university made up mostly of international students (if you factor English proficiency into it) is pretty high. and, of course, test scores aren’t everything.
