Also, I got an interview, and while I go to an uber competitive non-ranking schools, they can tell I’m top 11%-12% and not top 10…and I have a 33 on my ACT, so it’s definitely not based of likely hood of getting in or anything because I can assure you, I would not have gotten one.
Hope that helps!
I got a FA email from JHU and they rejected me soon after! I suggest you don’t read too far into it.
@piranhavator When did you get that email?
@ballin2022 late Feb
I really can’t stand this. How do you get your mind off waiting for March 28??? It’s starting to take over my life ugh
@filipiyes Are you an international applicant by any chance?
I didn’t get an e-mail for financial aid info, but I’ve submitted everything through the IDOC long before the deadline. Is there a way you can access your financial aid checklist?
I remember getting an e-mail asking for financial aid info from Dartmouth, but that’s only because I hadn’t submitted my tax returns.
Is Yale releasing decisions at 7pm like Brown and Penn?
yes @lesjubilants
^^ on that note, do all ivies release decisions at the same time?
@dancinginastorm yes
@afterthought yeah, i’m an international and i got a reminder about unsubmitted docs even though i gave everything before the deadline, emailed them and had to clarify something on my css
there isn’t a financial aid checklist, they told me to email them so they could inform me of what was up
@FourYearsornot I’ve been getting my mind off 3/28 by listening to Kanye West :))
feels so weird that we’ll know where we’ll be spending the next four years of our lives in less than a week. good luck everyone aah
Four years, dang.
I feel like a possible resolution to the financial aid e-mail problem could be:
A financial aid e-mail late in the game might be a pretty good sign, and signify that they’re interested and working on your financial aid award, but it’s definitely not a prerequisite for admissions, especially if everything on your CSS Profile is clear. Plus, Yale is need-blind- in the past, I’ve seen people who didn’t submit financial aid materials get a letter informing them of this when their decisions were released.
Also, in breaking the ‘financial aid email = necessary prerequisite’ theory, I was named a scholarship recipient at a peer university, but did not receive anything about financial aid despite not having sent in my tax returns.
@afterthought yup–it definitely isn’t a prerequisite; i’ve also been accepted to a school (my only non-safety) without a financial aid reminder to further validate your point. i’m just wondering what the email i received could mean and i hope it does mean something since honestly if it doesn’t–it really got my hopes up and it would hurt LOL but i guess we’ll find out in a week or so!
Hi all, I have a friend whose family member works as a professor at Yale and I was wondering if anyone knows if this will help him get into Yale and by how much. Any information would be so helpful
@collegegirl82 it won’t help him at all.
Is anyone here a deferred EA applicant? Do we have a chance?
no one from my school has ever gotten into yale so i doubt im gonna break the trend. if i got in I think I’d pass out.
