<p>Well… it doesn’t look like my speculations were too far off :o</p>
<p>@T26E4 I know a lot of seniors are waiting for April 1st, but most of my friends are either already accepted at schools via rolling admissions or will hear from 5 or 6 of them by mid December via non-restrictive EA…regardless, my apologies if I came across as whining or frustrated - just letting it all out.</p>
<p>In other news, I had my interview today and it went very well. Even though they do not account for much, it relaxed me a little knowing that I have now officially done all that I can.</p>

<p>Is that true? I thought everyone heard on one day Dec 14th or are decisions trickling in? If so, SCEA Pledges should be updating.</p>
<p>If you read Admissions Confidential, you’ll get a pretty decent idea of how elite school admissions works.</p>
<p>No, no one’s heard back yet (except maybe for athletes/superstars), but it’s possible that the committee’s already made decisions on some of our apps.</p>
<p>Committees have made decisions on some of our apps already, but they won’t release said decisions until the 14th.</p>
<p>Not true. Questbridge finalists have heard back already about their status, and some have been matched and some have not.</p>

<p>Gingko, I was not referring to QB applicants.</p>
<p>redboldx: for ROTC, just google. It’s for officers of our military branches. At Yale, there is a Naval ROTC unit.</p>
<p>Wait…so in the committee does EVERYONE read the essays? Or does the person presenting just say, “Oh, this was a good/bad essay…” and then have them vote?</p>
<p>They probably summarize and recount favorite quotations, reading completely those essays they deem necessary to read through completely.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree. I think committees proceed on a case by case basis; once applications get to committee, everything proceeds according to the strength of the application and what the committee members want to know.</p>
<p>Is it true that Y gets a lot more humanities majors than science majors? And would that affect chance of admission?</p>
<p>Sorry about all the questions, everyone! I’m new to CC and kind of anxious, even though I should be more relaxed, seeing as the app has already been submitted.</p>
<p>“Is it true that Y gets a lot more humanities majors than science majors? And would that affect chance of admission?”</p>
<p>Yes it does and Y is fully capable of taking in all those Humanities majors. Yale wants to boost its STEM areas so an attractive candidate with that strength might be a boost. However, bio majors and the typical pre-med, are not in short supply so no boost there.</p>
<p>hehe just made a results thread for this year…i’ve always wanted to make one of those
