Did @yaleivyleague get in? His profile looked strong
Nope, I got deferred @Boswind. Kinda bummed, but itās whatever I guess. I guess they found me ātoo boringā, as an asian male in stem, and they want diversity.
Congratulations @risrice thatās AMAZING
@yungturd Oh my, what a day. 
I got deferred too, itās ok tho. How are you holding up?
I got deferred as well. I tried to comment before, but I donāt think it went through because of wifi problems.
agree @elitecollege but we canāt change the system, so we just have to move on
Here are the stats if you donāt already know:
Yale Class of 2023, Early Action
Early Action Applicants: 6,016
Admitted : 794
Admit Rate: 13.2%
Deferred : 3,340
Denied : 1,786
Incomplete or Withdrawn: 96
I also found this link, but I donāt know whether I should hope and wait. I suggest, as the article does, to move on and not think about Yale until we have to.

Hi everyone, I got rejected and surprisingly, I donāt feel negative about it at all. It might be a blessing in disguise. Anyway, congratulations to those who were accepted and deferred!
It seems quite clear to me that HYP agree to hold the rate between 13-14% this year. Given that Jeremiah Quinlan and William Fitzsimmon have pancakes together on recruiting trips I would say that the difference within 0.2% between H and Y in REA rate in the last three years is definitely not a statistical coincidence.
I got denied also, and I am actually pretty surprised because one friend of mine got deferred and she has a lower SAT score with less extracurricular activities. But it is whatever, life moves on. Congrats to those who were accepted or deferred.
@lucyl926 yea, people got accepted with worse ECs than me, but its whatever. Iāll move on to other colleges.
I got in and I am so shocked and pleased! Iām genuinely proud of everyone who applied this year - it seems like a really competitive pool. Iām sending you all so much love - thereās a plan for everyone, and you will end up where you need to be.
@SkiwiSpooby ahhh you have been so supportive throughout this whole stressful week and I just wanna thank you so much for being there for me!!! And the same goes to everyone else, waiting in agony for a college decision was actually enjoyable with everyone in this threadā:heart:
@SkiwiSpooby also I cried like fifteen seconds before the decision and was literally shaking when the update was posted, and then I cried in joy because I was deferred rather than rejected, it felt great having all of my closest friends there with me and then clapping and cheering for me even though I had been deferred, Maybe theyāre the reason I donāt feel so bad about being deferred
Chins up. Between geniuses, legacy, recruited athletes, underrepresented minorities / geographical locations, influential family/mega rich/political kids, extreme hardship, brilliant artists/musicians, first generation, list goes on and on. That doesnāt give a lot of room for most super great kids. Time to regroup & move on.
Some Internet articles say Yale want to attract more STEM students. I do not think it is true. It seems they still want to focus on the areas where they are on the top. They may believe regardless what they do Yale can not compete with P, Columbia and Harvard as well in the STEM area.
@yungturd loooove you, love you all supportive little angels!!! Believe the best is yet to come.
@yungturd I checked it at a local coffee store, my heart was beating so fast, well I mean itās not a denial so we still have hope! 
I read through the thread and noticed that there wasnt a single acceptanceā¦
I think those who were accepted align well with Yaleās culture and values (humility and modesty!) and refrain from posting about their achievement. Interesting thing to note.
For all those deferred, please know that early is so much harder than regular. I can say that a solid majority of my older/graduated friends were deferred in the early round and eventually attended schools of equal caliber.
Keep up the grind! Donāt feel disappointed. Iām sure all of you will end up somewhere that ultimately is the perfect fit for you.
Good luck!
