Yale Class of 2017 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>omg just submitted my app and im literally shaking and smiling like a crazy person!! good luck to all of you guys :)</p>

<p>My child visited Yale last month and fell in love with the school. The residential college set up provided a support system which reminded her of a strong family network. Every student we encountered was genuinely happy and grateful to be on campus. Unfortunately, the low admittance rate is too much of a gamble for us. We decided to “early” elsewhere. Good Luck to all during the SCEA round.</p>

<p>Will they all go online at the same time? In england, people hear back from unis at completely different times!</p>

<p>^ nope, different colleges release their SCEA/ED results at different times. Yale’s usually one of the later ones hahaha so more suspense for us ;)</p>

<p>Just got my Eli account + contacted for an alumni interview! Aaahhh!!</p>

<p>Me too.</p>

<p>And my act scores haven’t been recieved by them yet. >.></p>

<p>Just got mine too. No interview yet. Part of me hopes I don’t get one-- my nerves would kill me.</p>

<p>Yeah, same here. Eli account said I have everything in, but I hope that I don’t get an interview, hehe.</p>

<p>Submitting my app this weekend! I’m really nervous but excited! I’ve never visited; I’m waiting to see if I get in or not first! I didn’t want to fall in love with it and then not get in haha! I know I will for sure have an interview because my dad knows the man who interviews applicants from around here! It’ll be so nerve-wracking, but I think it’ll help! Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Applied SCEA, already had my interview 2 days ago!
It went well, but now I can’t seem to activate my Eli account.</p>

<p>I got an email from Yale today including a 9-digit “student ID”.
When I go to the website to activate my account, I enter the ID and it says “The PIN you entered is not a valid PIN.”</p>

<p>Is “student ID” and my “PIN” the same thing? If not, when will I get my PIN and what is the ID for then? Anybody else have this problem?</p>

<p>Anyone in the DC/MD/VA area get contacted for an interview?</p>

<p>alocik- I had the same problem. Your student ID and PIN aren’t the same thing, use the PIN. Mine was just letters, I don’t know if yours is too. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yes I got this email too and haven’t received a pin. The most confusing part was that the student ID was 9 numbers and the email said to enter a nine-character PIN… but the website asks for a 12 letter PIN.</p>

<p>I’m in MD (near DC) and haven’t heard anything.</p>

<p>on the eli account activation email, it says the early action decision comes out december 14th? is that a typo or does it actually come out on that friday?</p>

<p>for alumni interviews were you contacted by email?</p>

<p>So far all I’ve gotten is mail from the Chairman of Central South Carolina Yale Alumni or something telling me that some lady has been assigned to interview me.</p>

<p>She has yet to respond to my email. It’s been a few days.</p>

<p>Got my Eli Account. Living in NM I’m not really expecting an alumni to be in my region, but maybe!</p>

<p>Is there any way to check through my Eli Account if my transcripts were received? All my scores are in and I have a green check next to the application status, but nowhere does it specifically confirm the arrival of my transcripts.</p>

<p>I got the email today to set up my Eli Account and only see the 9-digit “student ID”. </p>

<p>Can anyone tell me where to find the 12 digit PIN to activate my account? Is it in another email?</p>

<p>No, it’s the second bullet point under ‘1. Eli Account Activation’</p>
