i just called and there wasn’t a voicemail…?? @powerofstem7000
Sat subject tests optional for Yale?
Yes, but would definitely recommend sending them if taken
@powerofstem7000 @Helenlinyc12345 voicemail or not, it seems unlikely that they’d release on a Sunday. They’d have to get their people into the office on a weekend to make sure everything went as planned, have techs standing by in case there was a glitch, etc. I’d trust what the portal is telling you - but you can call during business hours and ask a live person. They might appreciate you pointing out the inconsistency between the voicemail and the portal.
Voice message is on option 3. It says December 15th at 5 pm.
Yes, and no. They actually state that submitting scores is "recommended, but not required. In practice, that generally has meant that the scores are expected, unless there are extenuating circumstances making it difficult or impossible to take the subject tests. Extreme financial need and the inability to obtain sufficient fee waivers would be an example.
if you do/don’t receive an email from the yale finaid department with a student id number, does that say anything about your chances?
Hmm I don’t know. Sounds like a good sign to me!
I am an international student from India applied in SCEA 2024. I just called up Yale admissions office and IVR on option 3 says 15 Dec after 5 pm so it will be. 3:30 am on 16 Dec India time. Anyone here applied from India ?
thanks @tdy123
before you get an official decision? very unlikely
Hearing rumors that it’ll come out Friday with other ivies? Anyone heard the same? Again, just rumors. May not be any truth to them.
Just spoke on the phone with an actual admissions officer - said the voicemail saying Sunday the 15th at 5 is an error and they’re trying to fix it, and that decisions come out Monday.
Awesome. Thank you!
I know some other schools email students saying that they’ll receive scores at a specific time. Has anyone gotten an email? It says Monday in the evening, but does anybody know at what time?
Admissions officer didn’t specify a time, but I believe it’s 5 pm EST. That’s what it’s been all the past years, though, those also came out on the second Thursday of December so…
cool! Thanks!
Side note: just heard from a friend who sails that his friend who’s sailing at Yale got in today. Idk what that means for the rest of us, but interesting if true I guess
My friend saw on one of those like ivy tracking sites that Yale supposedly comes out today at 7 EST
