Yale Class of 2017 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>The stats seem pretty straightforward. I’ll volunteer to do it if no one else will.</p>

<p>@CantConcentrate I submitted on the 13th of October, I think.</p>

<p>Submitted my application yesterday as my power was going off courtesy of Sandy. I am already anxious for the reply. Good luck everybody!!</p>

<p>Submitted everything a few days ago. School forms will be sent tomorrow (Sandy prolonged those, I live in CT). So nervous/excited/anxious and kinda want to die. :)</p>

<p>I’m left with my Yale essay (gotta tweak it just a bit more) and then I’m set!! So psyched ahhhhhh!!! :slight_smile: btw is the deadline 2359 EST Nov 1?</p>

<p>Watchmesoar, thank you!</p>

<p>Louiespikey, yes.</p>

<p>After turning in my application, I have so far remembered 3 things I forgot to add.</p>

<p>Just submitted everything. I never thought this day would come. I’ve spent so much time on College Confidential throughout high school and reaped so much fantastic information from its pages that it would be a crime not to post my stats and, when the time comes, decision.</p>

<p>just wondering, would it be appropriate to park all our other ECs/awards that we’ve not previously mentioned under the “additional information” section of the commonapp? Does Yale have a history of wanting/not wanting these additional lists? (Eg from what I’ve heard, Stanford strongly discourages such additional resumes)</p>

<p>I used my additional info bit to literally provide additional info useful with regard to m admission.</p>

<p>Like my cross-enrollment at another school, EC patterns, etc.</p>

<p>I’m so close to submitting but I can’t… I keep on rereading my essays and changing a word or two. So nervous!</p>

<p>this might be an extremely dumb question but what does it mean if one “pledges?”</p>

<p>Well, we’re in it together at this point. We have a date, by the way: our decisions will be released on the 14th of December. 43 days!</p>

<p>If one ‘pledges’, s/he must reports his/her decision status (and possibly include stats) for the benefit of prospective students.</p>

<p>Ah! This seems surreal, waiting for so long for this. I’ve spent the last two weeks rigorously rewriting drafts of essays. I think I have my short answer common app where I want it, still need a completely different paragraph in my common app essay, but my Yale essay I think I’m going to change topics completely back to a draft I wrote in the summer. This is crazy!</p>

<p>I thought it was december 15th.</p>

<p>Next I’ll be hearing that they’re released in november (please??).</p>

<p>It’s December 14th.</p>

<p>I used my additional information section to post some explanatory information about one of the honors I listed. It’s about a quarter of a page, tops.</p>

<p>I put my research abstract in the addtl info, as well as one other award I couldn’t fit on the common app.</p>

<p>In my additional information section I included additional test scores that couldn’t fit on the common app form (even though Yale’s supplement had a section for this, I was planning on sending the same common app version out to all of my schools), additional awards, and an activities resume.</p>

<p>Ahhh that feeling after sending in my app when I’m extremely paranoid that I had to have made some stupid error.</p>
