Award date means nothing. I see it even for a school my D ended up not even applying to and for a school she was accepted as well.

I received a personal email from Princeton financial aid. It had a student number on it. The student number and the reference number on the application were the same. I dont think it means anything.

Do you think itād be advisable/make my interview better if I were to send my interviewer a copy of all of my application essays beforehand? Or would we run out of things to talk abt/repeat a bunch of info during the convo?
Listen to Yale AO Podcast episode on interviews. They discourage providing interviewer additional materials, including resumes. They want this to be a natural conversation so that interviewer can help independently confirm that you are the person reflected in the application. I think proving essays will be seen as āleading the witness.ā

no, please dontā¦its a really informal interview. just be yourself. they just want to get to know a little about you that you havent been able to articulate in your essays and application. Dont over think or over stress.

Did you have an interview?

We are supposed to evaluate you based on the conversation we have, not what otherwise is already being evaluated by the AO in your application. Think about your top academic and extracurricular interests. Why do you enjoy them? How have you contributed? What have you accomplished? How will Yale help you further those interests? A good tactic to ātake a breakā is to ask the interviewer about his/her experience at Yale and how it furthered their growth personally and professionally (99% of interviewers interview because they had a positive experience and are trying to give back). That may lead to a good back and forth about how this applies to you.

hey everyone!
i was admitted to yale last year (did not end up committing) and am checking this forum for the first time in a long time out of curiousity hahah
would just like to offer more insight into the SID since theres been a lot of discussion on it -
i received a very late interview (early march, i think?), another interview a week after that, and received a request for more financial aid documents with a SID. i was admitted come ivy day. have also heard of the same happening to several of my peers, so keep your fingers crossed! best of luck everyone
