Yale Class of 2018 SCEA Discussion thread

<p>60 minutes!</p>

<p>so nervous and a bit pessimistic :(</p>

<p>Omg. One year to one hour. Iā€™ve dreamt about getting my decision for this school for at least one year. O_o</p>

<p>Hi Everybody,
I just received a message from Yaleā€¦does anyone know what this might mean?</p>

<p>Thank you for applying to Yale-NUS College. We are writing to inform you that Yale-NUS College will release decisions for our Round 1 of Admissions on Wednesday 18 December 2013. This is a little later than our original decision notification deadline, due to technical difficulties with the Common Application this year.</p>

<p>On 18 December, you will be sent an email asking you to log into your Yale-NUS application portal, where your decision letter will be ready for viewing. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to write to us at <a href=ā€œmailto:admissions@yale-nus.edu.sgā€>admissions@yale-nus.edu.sg</a> or call us at +65 6601 2416.</p>

<p>Iā€™d flip if they extended the SCEA decision! haha</p>

<p>@bowiefan, Yale-NUS is Yale in singaporeā€¦did u mean to apply there?</p>

<p>It simply means NUS decisions wonā€™t be online until the 18th. Donā€™t overthink it.</p>

<p>Yale does not Z-list. AFAIK, Harvard is the only Ivy that Z-lists.</p>

<p>i think thatā€™s from 2017 numbers</p>

<p>FYI - there is no z-list during SCEA</p>

<p>^They have something similar, though. I have a friend who is doing a mandatory gap year as we speak (type?).</p>

<p>anyone get an email yet?</p>

<p>That must be an isolated case. I have heard of a promising international student with a very poor high school education who was asked to spend a PG year at a U.S. boarding school to build up his academic profile before enrolling at Yale. But Yale does not have an established Z-list program like Harvardā€™s, where every spring a bunch of kids (often legacies) are given the option to take a gap year and then start the year after that.</p>

<p>Itā€™s looking like they arenā€™t sending emails?</p>

<p>Yep, Yale accepted 0 of 5,000 applicants from the SCEA pool this year. Weā€™re all screwed.</p>

<p>If the 15.9% thing is true then any optimism I had is pretty much out the window. There is a HUGE difference between a 15.9% acceptance rate and the 21% one that Harvard just had. With schools this selective, even a mere 1% difference in acceptance rate is noticeableā€“just look toward the top USNews and weigh the very slight differences in acceptance rate with what seem at least by popular belief to be rather significant differences in selectivity (albeit this may be confounding prestige with selectivity but I think what Iā€™m saying still holds true).</p>

<p>The acceptance rate is still higher than in years past. Donā€™t lose hope!</p>

<p>this is getting ridiculous</p>
