Yale Class of 2017 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>Philovitist,</p>

<p>I remember you from the Duke ED thread… You seemed to feel that Yale would be a better fit for you, so try to remember that! :slight_smile: Be confident… there is nothing else to be done at this point and you’ve done all you can so try not to spend this next month feeling nervous and chewing off appendages! :smiley: Have faith!!</p>

<p>lol ^_^</p>

<p>I hate the anxiety. But I’ll get over it.</p>

<p>@CantConcentrate I’m from MS and I haven’t received an interview email yet, but my friend (also from MS) has and will interview on Thursday. I will update you as soon as I find out more information!</p>

<p>Has anyone also heard whether Yale does not give high preference for intl applicants for SCEA? S applied and heard this from coworker but have no way of verifying. Hope its just a rumor but then again MIT discourages intl students from ED.</p>

<p>Officially, there’s no preference for anyone. But the answer is that everyone gets a preference over RD kids.</p>

<p>I have an interview on Saturday!</p>

<p>I have an interview tomorrow!!!
My teacher rec status still hasn’t changed, but my ACT hasn’t been updated yet either so I can wait before I entirely STRESS…</p>

<p>Just finished my interview today…30 DAYS :OOO</p>

<p>Anyone who’s had an interview already, what’s it like? Tips would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Agreed. My interview is scheduled for this weekend, too. Good luck, everyone!</p>

<p>well, mine was informal and in a caf</p>

<p>For you guys who’ve gotten interviews already, did you submit your apps really early? I submitted on Nov. 5th, (hurricane impacted area), and I haven’t gotten contacted yet. (I’m in NJ.)</p>

<p>Good luck, everyone!!</p>

<p>I submitted on 10/22 and got contacted for an interview around 2 weeks later.</p>

<p>@supercools, thanks!</p>

<p>@Greenroses, it took me about a month to be offered an interview! Don’t worry.</p>

<p>I just got contacted for an interview! submitted on the 5th</p>

<p>Just had my interview… It went really well, the woman was someone I got on really easily with. I said some weird things, I know that, especially when asked Why Yale? (Why didn’t I mention residential colleges???) Anyway it’s nothing to worry about, mine was definitely a conversation and not an interrogation :)</p>

<p>Colleges starting to release their early applicant numbers. I secretly hope Yale’s has fallen, but chances are that it’s permissiveness about test score submission and non-ED status will contribute to a boost.</p>

<p>To those that live in the Deep South (OK, NM, etc…), have hope! I just got contacted for an interview, so you may get a request soon.</p>

<p>@Greenroses I am on the same boat! and im totally worried that I will not get an interview, but does anyone know when like the latest date for an interview might be?</p>

<p>I think I saw someone post and say that the deadline for an interviewer to submit an interview was November 31st? I’m not sure though.</p>
