Yale 2023 Applicants Discussion

Does anyone know when decisions are released? Last year, it was December 14 (a Thursday), so this leads me to believe that it will be tomorrow, December 13 (a Thursday).

@ctgirl2019 december 14, as listed on the portal

@ctgirl2019 the application confirmation email specifically says the early action decision will be released on Friday, December 14, 2018 (in the evening), as does the application portal.

Things look kinda bleak right now and I just want to wish you all good luck!!
No matter what happens day after tomorrow, Iā€™m sure we will all do amazing things!!ā€™
All the bestā€¦may the odds be ever in your favor :x

People are still writing short take essays, @dreamthief001 , so itā€™s not a good idea to put them online. If you get deferred your application may be run through an online plagiarism checker when they go to regular round decisions, and any distinctive wording you used might raise the red flag.

@ninakatarina yeah ofc just meant generally

This past week I got really good news in terms of really awesome extracurricular accomplishments. I conveyed these through my admissions portal today, but I highly doubt itā€™ll affect the result Iā€™m going to get on Friday. But hopefully, if Iā€™m deferred, itā€™ll positively have an impact when theyā€™re re-evaluating my application. Iā€™m so nervous for Friday even though Iā€™m pretty convinced itā€™ll be a deferral (I just pray Iā€™m not rejected outright)

@ishmob111 no, hopefully youā€™re accepted and it wonā€™t have mattered anyways :wink:

@Castiel19 @heyhowareYou2019 Lmao starting at 4:00 imma be sitting at my computer and repeatedly reloading the page

literally a day to go.

I. am. so. nervous.

Thereā€™s just something so utterly heartbreaking about rejection, ya know?

home stretch guys!!! I just woke up feeling super nervous at the fact that tomorrow is the day!!! again good luck to all :slight_smile:

i go back and forth between thinking that Iā€™m the weakest applicant to ever apply in all of Yaleā€™s history and then thinking that maybe I have a slight chance- itā€™s exhausting

@heyhowareYou2019 So for the class of 2021 (a different ivy, though), the decision was supposed to be posted online at 3, but my brother checked the portal at 2:30 and received it. Maybe itā€™s different, but if you want to do so, itā€™s an idea! (:

@hyperpi314 Same! Lol. Iā€™m probably (definitely) going to check my portal at least thrice before 3pm my time (Utah here)

wow another army captured

@Castiel19 okay cool, I will definitely be doing that

I like how they are just casually posting admission officerā€™s desks on these stressful days lol.

I had a chem test today which just got moved tomorrow and I donā€™t think Iā€™ll be able make it to school mentally tomorrow

@SkiwiSpooby what do you mean?
