Thought I should create this thread since there is none.It might be a little early but I am in love with Yale and I hope to graduate as part of their Class of 2020 as a molecular biophysicist and biochemist. 
Please can someone send me the topics of last years supplementary essays. Thanks in advance for your help.
Also, the first question was the expected âWhy Yale?â
Please donât take this as snark. Itâs said in the spirit of the old âgive a man a fish vs teach a man to fishâ story. I found the above information in a few seconds. Iâm in my sixties, and should be much slower with Google than a prospective Yale applicant is, since I grew up in the hard copy era. Be resourceful.
Hello, good idea starting this thread 
I also hope to be going to Yale next year to study psychology!
Hi, Iâm also super excited to apply this year with the intent of studying the musics
Hi, so am I! Who else is applying EA?
@IxnayBob Thanks a lot for your help.
I am honestly stuck between choosing Harvard, Yale and Princeton as my SCEA. I love Yale, but I also love Princeton too! Princeton was my first and only Ivy League visit so far and I fell in love with the campus upon arrival. HOWEVER, I have always thought of Yale as the school I wanted to go to in middle school. Someone convince me to do Yale over Princeton SCEA?
@Princetonian2020, convincing you might be difficult given your user name. In the end, youâll have to decide.
@IxnayBob Right, I appreciate your response! I will apply to Yale for sure, as for SCEA â I might just stick with my Princeton. Thanks!
Really excited to apply for Yale 2020 SCEA, undecided with my major though
@join20, you have loads of time to pick a major. Based on my extensive research (n=1, DS is the subject), you will change your mind more than once.
International student here, interested in a good Geo Sciences program.
@IxnayBob in your experience is it safe to assume the Yale essays generally stay the same from year to year?
In my limited experience, yes they do. It is hard to imagine âWhy Yaleâ going away, and the âis there anything else we should know?â prompt is generic and i would imagine very useful to the Adcomms.
Most importantly, the prompts are things that potential applicants should have thought about when choosing a school like Yale (first prompt)) and submitting an application (second prompt).
Does anybody know when Yale will release their specific essay questions?
@join20, I believe itâs when the Common App opens up (August 1?). I might be wrong, but Iâd be surprised if Yale lagged considerably, or had significantly changed prompts.
Another probable early applicant here Really wish they posted the prompts early July.
I suggest that you use this time to research schools over rewriting prompts. My daughter was all about Harvard. She wanted it since she was 9. She only wanted to visit Boston and she was irritated that I forced her to tour Yale. While she was there she walked around and even said,âIts too bad I want to go to Harvard because this is really niceâ. Then she was deferred by Harvard and was forced to really look into the other schools she was going to apply to. The more time she spent looking and comparing, the more she realized that she really liked the social environment and the whole âteam vs selfâ mentality. She ended up wanting Yale much more than Harvard in the end and that is where she is going. But she would not have spent any of that time researching if she had not been forced to. Use this time to explore and be sure what you want. Essays are a good catch but they are only one small piece to a very complex puzzle. Also- if you are a STEM student, 50% of those that applied were STEM this year and obviously they canât all be accepted. Think about that and the odds they imply when you send in your application. Perhaps try another field or maybe even undecided. If you are not one who has gone well above and well beyond and you are one of these applicants, you may be disappointed.
Good luck to all of you. As the mom of a now sophomore I implore you to not focus too much on Yale but do a lot of research on other schools. Then, if you do decide to apply to Yale SCEA, you will have a better idea of whether or not you want to accept. Understand that SCEA is not binding, unlike ED.
Also, take some time to enjoy your senior year. It is a great time in your life and should be savored, not used as an impediment to your admittance to college.
