Yale Class of 2020 Waitlist Thread

*Doubt I was the only lucky one

@xWadee Thanks for the info! Again, congratulations, very much hope to see you at New Haven this fall.

@xWadee Are you US or international?

@feeb97 US

@xWadee

Congrats!!! Yale is my first choice and I really really really hope I get in. (Pick Princeton). Just joking. Pick whichever college you feel a connection to. You have two amazing options. Congrats again

Has anyone received rejections? I received nothing yet.

@MohTamer I think you’re only notified if you get in or if the waitlist closes.

@feeb97

Oh god. The torture. Other colleges reject people out of mercy.

If I call admissions, can they like, tell me how I’m going on the waitlist?

@feeb97 that’s not right. they let some candidates go before the waitlist closes

@ReadyForTheWind Thanks! I read this somewhere but I’m far from certain. I’m completely in the dark with this whole thing.

Do you know if international students also get phone calls? Or is it by email?

@MohTamer I don’t think they will… Because the WL isn’t ranked, at this point I think they’ll just fill them based on satisfying diversity quotas.

Fill the class*

Anyone else heard back?

I got a call yesterday mid day from my admissions officer saying that I got in. @xWadee have you gotten a follow up email / does your admissions portal show an update?

@squashordie What region are you from? Are they admitting based on a rolling basis on region? And huge congrats!!
It’s nice to know that there is some movement for waitlists.

Do they email you before calling or do they just call you?

I am from a suburb outside of Boston. My admissions officer called me and said he would follow up in the coming days.

@squashordie I did get a follow-up email but my portal hasn’t updated. However, that might be because I called the financial aid office since I hadn’t submitted any documents after being bummed from the waitlist spot, so I’m still waiting on that. However, if you need any help you should definitely contact them because they were extremely helpful!

Also sorry for the redundancs of howevers lol

@xWadee what did your admissions officer say in the follow-up email? Did he or she mention when the portals will be updated?
