Yale Class of 2019 SCEA Discussion Thread

<p>Take that as you will!</p>

<p>Last year, the web site had trouble handling all the LAST MINUTE applications.
A word to the wise… submit before the last two days. You’ll be glad that you did.</p>

<p>I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the application due November 1st at 11:59 PM or November 1st at midnight? (So is it due end of Saturday night or beginning of Saturday night)</p>

<p>^ It’s not a stupid question, except that it might indicate an unwise plan. In normal usage, and I believe here also, a deadline of November 1 means any time before November 2 (I.e., 11:59 pm nov 1 is fine). </p>

<p>The unwise plan is waiting until the last minute. </p>

<p>Applied!</p>

<p>@paleselan Thanks for clarifying! I won’t be applying Yale SCEA (I’m doing Princeton SCEA), but I’m sure the same idea applies.</p>

<p>submitted!</p>

<p>I just had my interview today. It went wonderfully! Now, I just wait…</p>

<p>Do they give interviews on the basis of the time you submit your application? </p>

<p>People who submitted earlyish, did you get your Eli Accounts fairly quickly, or did the three week rule still apply? I was thinking with less applications to handle early on the admissions office might get those emails out quicker…</p>

<p>My daughter had a 5 day turn around on hers…submitted last week and Eli account today.</p>

<p>Just submitted my Common App Friday night (10/24) and received my Eli account today (10/27). My application checklist shows everything with a green check. :)</p>

<p>Wow good luck to those who’ve submitted already!! It’s crazy to think the admissions officers may be reading your applications RIGHT this moment…</p>

Well, the first ones on the ASC directors’ lists are easy to assign. Applicants names get forwarded as their files are completed. My area ASC started receiving names about two weeks ago. EA applicant interview reports are requested to be uploaded by Dec 1.</p>

<p>Do not, and I repeat, do not wait till the last minute. Anything can happen. Also, that’s Halloween weekend. Get it done early and go out and have some fun. </p>

<p>@proximacentauri Yup! I submitted mine quite a while back.</p>

<p>@Tperry1982
What about submitting one day before the deadline? </p>

<p>^^^That’s up to you. However, you have had a couple of parents (myself included) on here caution against waiting till the last minute. Why not get it done and move one to other things that need to be done senior year.</p>

<p>Submitted my application the other day! Good luck to everyone applying!</p>

<p>Submitted my application. Best of luck to everyone!</p>
