Yale 2023 Applicants Discussion

Waiting for this decision is very exhausting actually. It takes up a lot of mental energy and it makes me bored with all my schoolwork because I’m just waiting for my decision.

@Castiel19 I think I’m too late responding to you, but just talk passionately about what interests you. Try to show yourself as someone who cares about others, and is open to and actively thinks about innovation.

@heyhowareYou2019 @redflamingo Hey! I just got home from the interview; it was around 40-50 minutes, and I believe it went very well! We had common ground and shared some laughs as well. It was, overall, a great experience. Thank you very much for your advice! I appreciate it (:

@hi2023 southeast Texas!

Just curious about this…how beneficial is it to have less people in your area apply to Yale? No one in my high school applied to Yale early, but I’m not sure how much will that help?

Is anyone looking to do ROTC at Yale?

I coped with the stress by cleaning for 5 hours today ?, at least it was productive!

im so nervous and i have so much schoolwork this week ? my AP physics C teacher decided yesterday that we’re going to have a test tomorrow

the wait is killing me and columbia calls out tomorrow.

Hi. Does any of y’all know at what time exactly is Yale releasing the decisions?

Here from Brown2023! Good luck everyone. Go Bulldogs! (Extra special GL shoutout to my pal @hs19uni23)

In the vein of the Princeton EA thread, maybe we can pass the time by posting some of our Short Takes responses? Maybe we can start with “What inspires you?”

@hi2023 Around 5pm EST, but you should check your portal 30 minutes before! (:

51 hours left… good luck everyone
