Yale Class of 2018 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>3 days. 72 hours.</p>

<p>@doctorknow97 No for me as well. I don’t think it means anything, though.</p>

<p>or have they just not put all of the accepted students in the system yet?</p>

<p>I’m sure Yale has thought of every possible way students might try to find out earlier. I doubt this would be a loophole. And if it was, it would have been announced on CC years ago.</p>

<p>Good find, though @doctorknow97. Very clever ;)</p>

<p>@alex7607 Yes! I submitted an art supplement. I found the 10 piece limit to be quite unfavorable haha. But I hope they take it into much consideration, as I spent a lot of time, care, and effort on my art. Hopefully, it makes a difference.</p>

<p>@x3Strawb3rry haha awesome! So I take it it was in the visual arts. same here :slight_smile: I talked about art loads throughout my app. Do you mind me asking what you want to major in? Cuz I’m hoping to do engineering, I was wondering how usual/unusual it was that applicants submit supplements without intending to major in the arts.</p>

<p>I’m probably undecided right now, but I have strong interest in the biology field, especially bioengineering (so I also did the engineering essay lol). But I also indicated an interest in the visual arts, and my Common Application had a lot of art-related things in it haha. I’m a little worried because my application does not show as strong of an interest in the sciences or engineering… I’m hoping my essay shows my true interest in it though.</p>

<p>can ever concentrate on other
supplements</p>

<p>@x3Strawb3rry Okay so I’ve found another of my kind! I’m hoping that being an arty Asian will count as a ā€˜hook’ of sorts… I’m grasping straws, I know. I’m sure it’s all good, mine didn’t really talk about engineering much except for in the engineering essay either so…</p>

<p>@Kigzcorp …huh?</p>

<p>I applied biomedical engineering as well. It’s cool that you guys have art backgrounds as well. My extracurriculars were all science-related or sports. Not sure which they would prefer. Hopefully we’ll be bioengineering classmates. Good luck to you all :)</p>

<p>I actually really want to attend Yale for its diversity. I feel like it is a very artsy school but also does not neglect its sciences. And, as I am undecided right now, the diversity can allow me to explore a lot of fields before deciding. :)</p>

<p>I’m seeing all the Harvard and Stanford kids get their decisions and I’m just internally screaming. bjl;asdj;lfajdkhada</p>

<p>we should hack into yale’s network and find our decisions. totally worth it.</p>

<p>My school is actually a public school that is pretty average, so the number of Ivy League and HYPSM students is limited (we have only had like 2 so far if you include Caltech). I actually have a lot of classes with them, so I know them pretty well and I’m happy for them. Still, all the decisions make me really really nervous and anxious, and I can’t help but feel a little jealous (not the negative kind of course) of those who know their colleges already. Ugh, so nervous.</p>

<p>Just curious - does anyone still have most of their college applications not completed? My art supplement actually takes up a lot of my time (still not done completely done haha…), and I’m planning to just grind through the essays during winter break. Anyone?</p>

<p>ughh yeah I have many RD supplements to write over winter break…as I am expecting a deferral from Yale</p>

<p>I’m kind of resigned to my fate of being deferred or rejected and already have a list of supplements that I have to complete over winter break. Seeing my friends get into their top colleges (Duke, Colombia, etc…) makes me simultaneously incredibly happy for them and overwhelmingly worried for myself. I honestly am pretty sure I am not up to par, since I happen to come from the most intelligent class graduating from my school in about 10 years, so the pressure is enormous.</p>

<p>^ I know how you feel. I know so many people that have been accepted to so many Ivies and great colleges and i’m just like…</p>

<p>2days:21hours:50mins
Good luck everyone!</p>
