<p>will we get an email saying our admission decision is available, or will we just have to keep checking our eli accounts?</p>
<p>@upinflight Sounds great!</p>
<p>Hey guys~ I’ve been reading these posts for days. Just as nervous as you are, waiting for that decision moment. I am an international student and in the 50(probably) students who applied for Yale REA in my country, only 2 or 3 will get in. Most of their sat are 2300+ and the competition is killing me.</p>
<p>gryphonite: I am not sure… but if they do, it would likely arrive much later than its availability. I would simply check at 5pm EST and see for yourself that way. Good Luck</p>
<p>Only 79 hours more… :)</p>
<p>Good luck to all! It will be looooooong weekend. Our D’s best friend is in the mix and we are on pins and needles hoping she gets good news next week.</p>
<p>I suspect that Yale does not mind being among the very last to announce. It allows the spotlight and focus to be centered on them next week. It makes it a little harder on the Yale applicants, especially after they have to watch peers get in elsewhere already… but all’s well that ends well. And even the quality applicants who are disappointed on Monday will most likely gain acceptance to quality schools later. My D is expecting a Deferral… as that is what the #s seem to lean toward. But there’s still hope for a few more hours… :)</p>
<p>Spoolman: Not a lot of kids from the New Haven “ghetto” go to Yale. However, kids from the greater New Haven area get a slight preference over other kids from CT for reasons related to town-gown relations. Also, unless you’re a chaired professor who threatens to leave unless his kid is admitted (like one of my roommates’ dad) there is no preference whatsoever given to Yale employees - the fact that Yale pays for half the college tuition for all of its employees kids regardless of where they go to college is enough to keep the hired help happy.</p>
<p>@oldblue99 Cool, I don’t live in CT but I was just wondering. I’ve heard of past tensions between Yale and the city of New Haven because of property problems? So giving slight preference for kids who live in New Haven would be expected. That’s really nice of Yale to pay for half of employee children’s tuition. Does this only include professors or are all employees (janitorial staff, security etc) in on this benefit also?</p>
<p>Does anyone know of a correlation between the time you receive an email and your actual decision? For harvard, especially the past two years, those who received their emails first were pretty much all rejected or deferred. Those who received them after about an hour were all accepted.</p>
<p>Does yale do something similar?</p>
<p>My sense is that the Decisions just became final and locked… because they just now took down the Eli Account Application checklist page… replacing it with a webpage saying:</p>
<p>The Yale Application Checklist website is temporarily unavailable.
It will be available again on Thursday, December 19, 2013</p>
<p>So… they are now apparently modifying everyone’s internal webpages to reflect the Decision Announcement. </p>
<p>The quiet before the storm… :)</p>
<p>SpoolMan: Tuition subsidy is for ALL employees who’ve been working at Yale for at least 5 years - not a bad deal!</p>
<p>I was trying to stay away from the thread in case I jinxed my chances or something (I dont know how) but I finally caved. </p>
<p>On another note, have any of you submitted arts supplements?</p>
<p>Spoolman- It looks like it’s for any fulltime staff who have worked for more than a certain numbers of years. Here is an amazing story about an immigrant who graduated from Columbia while working as a custodian there; he paid for school with the employee tutition benefits.</p>

<p>I just now found that out ! Why does it say that access will be back on Dec 19th. Aren’t the results supposed to come out on Dec 16th ?</p>
<p>Wow, what a great inspiration. Two of my friends got into Harvard 
I’m so anxious now…</p>
<p>This is so nerve wracking. 6 of my best friends have already gotten into harvard EA.</p>

<p>Is anyone able to activate his/her Yale NetID by entering their Eli information?</p>
<p>@shantivan Looks like the Yale checklist will be unavailable until Thursday but the decisions are on a separate login I think.

^It says decisions will be out mid-December</p>
<p>@doctorknow97, no… does that mean defer/rejection?</p>
