Yale Class of 2017 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>chaquefois:</p>

<p>Lawrence U has an EA program with a Dec. 1 deadline and a Jan. 15 notification date. I have specifically inquired of Yale admissions if application to this program is compatible with their SCEA requirements. I have an email reply indicating that it is. I can’t see why the U of Rochester program, with the same published notification date, would be different.</p>

<p>I actually asked them as well. They said any non binding program was a-okay as long as they notified after January 1.</p>

<p>Sent in my app a few days ago! I was originally gonna SCEA to Princeton, but after visiting both I liked Yale a lot, lot more.</p>

<p>Got one of my teacher recs submitted today, the other is on its way… all that I have left is the common app essay and two of the short takes. Eek.</p>

<p>Just have sent in!</p>

<p>Question, will SCEA Yale adcoms see my senior year grades?</p>

<p>Philovitist, no, they won’t. However, if you get deferred, they will because your counselor will have to send in a mid-year report.</p>

<p>Did anyone that applied so far get any Eli account information/interview requests yet? Just curious.</p>

<p>Submitted last night. Pumped.</p>

<p>Sent it a couple of hours ago!
I’m so nervous, can’t wait until December but I still have other apps to complete</p>

<p>I submitted an hour ago (-: I am so excited for December!</p>

<p>Haha, I’m a nervous wreck right now.</p>

<p>Question: I noticed on the Yale SCEA FAQ site, it says I can apply to other public institutions before my decision. Does this mean I cannot send in applications to the other Ivy schools’ Regular Decision admissions?</p>

<p>Also am I the only one freaking out that some of their less-than-great scores are going to Yale since there is no Score Choice? I’m really scared about that…</p>

<p>(Sorry, triple post!) Does everything for your application have to be AT Yale or postmarked by November 1 for SCEA?</p>

<p>So do we have to tell Yale about ALL our scores or ALL the scores from one “set” (ACT/SAT)? I took both the ACT and SAT one time each… Do I have to send Yale all my ACT and all my SAT scores? Or can I just send ACT, like a lot of other places?</p>

<p>Jordan- as long as the notification is after January 1, you can apply wherever you want.</p>

<p>Postmarked I think.
I am sending materials from oversees so for example I can never know when they will arrive, that’s why they talk about a postmark date.
As long as you send your commonapp before November 1, you are OK</p>

<p>So, for example, if I send they transcripts from the local junior college I’ve taken a few classes from tomorrow, and they get in the mail before Nov. 1, it should be okay?</p>

<p>How is that the Collegeboard lets you choose which scores to send when Yale requires them all?
Obviously I’m sending them all, but I’m just curious.</p>

<p>I just don’t understand why Yale wants all the scores if they aren’t looking at all the scores.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Allows them to know if you took the SAT thirty times? I don’t know, really.</p>
