I see, was going off the FAQ from the application status portal which indeed routes to the regular undergraduate site and not Eli Whitney program.
@xylo1220 I sent a second email about confirming dates for interviews yesterday and received a reply stating that the interview schedule was still being solidified and to expect correspondence within the next “few” days.
This may also mean that not all the interviews have been offered to everyone. So, I still hope to see more of you posting that you received interviews!
Yeah I wish we knew if they were still emailing applicants for interviews. At this point, it would be nice to know.
They responded to my follow up email saying that they will be sending out email confirmations and mid-year report requests this afternoon.
I wonder if that means that more interview invites will happen.
@lalabunny @loftboy4u did either of you receive confirmations on interview times?
I just received an email saying a decision was available which I obviously knew coming this early was a denial. Good luck to the rest of you!
I also received a denial email today. Good luck to everyone else!
Rejected hahaha I knew it was a long shot
I want everyone to know that I just received my rejection email from Yale! I am honestly SO relieved to know that I am out of the game! I sincerely wish the rest of you the best of luck!
I knew I was a super duper long shot because one of the transfer profiles on their page got in from my city last year (San Jose) figured the odds were almost impossible of two transfers coming from the same city in back to back years. He was a highly talented veteran. Anyhow it was fun! Good luck on your other decisions and Fall semester!
I have achievements in mathematics, but I have a really bad college record from over 10 years ago that I think messed me up. I have a recent 4.0, but I don’t think that it was enough to erase the bad one. I’m just really glad I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I still have other schools that might accept me.
Has any of you considered Harvard Extension School? I think that is an awesome opportunity
It all comes down to this: what is meant to be will be, and what is not meant to be will not happen. I probably submitted too many supplemental materials with my application. One of the things I like to do is solve math problems featured in math journals. I’ve been able to get mentioned in several math magazines over the years, and I thought that would impress them. However, I have not done anything interesting. I have not traveled the world, I have not started my own company, I am just a hard working problem solver who stays home everyday! 
lala loftboy zoon and xylo are willing to share your backgrounds for those who were rejected? It would give me some to make sense of this! thank you so much!!
Rejected.
I had a feeling the decision would come out on the 20th. At least something I thought was right. 
Time to move on! Maybe I’ll see some of you there in a few years.
@seekinginformation I don’t know why I was chosen to interview, but I feel very lucky! The basics are that I have a 4.0 from two years at community college, good recommendations, and I contribute to the diversity factor (also came from a disadvantaged background, worked to support myself since high school, etc). I am not a veteran.
@seekinginformation, I can’t speak to the backgrounds required to secure an interview as I did not obtain one, but I can tell you mine if it helps. Strictly looking at stats I have a recent GPA of 3.95 and score of 1570 (780 790) on the SAT. My break in studies was due to many things but focused on athletics. I competed in an Olympic sport for several years but struggled to overcome an injury that required back surgery in my teens. I think I had maybe one year in the last ten that was injury free, and that makes it so hard to build the required physical capacities to turn potential into success. However, two of the guys from my training group did go to Rio which was fun.
The last couple years I have been taking care of my family. My Dad was an abusive alcoholic who tore his family apart. When he got sick, nobody was stepping up to take care of him, so I moved home. Driving him to and from doctors appointments and cleaning him up were what I did for the last bit of his life. It was the reason for losing my 4.0; I wasn’t able to turn in an assignment because I needed to take care of him and the teacher accepted no late work for any reason. Taking care of a dying parent, not to mention the day in day out toll of watching a parent die, is hard to put into a 500-word essay for an admission’s officer. For that matter, it doesn’t readily fit into a resume either. In my view, my application was about the future, not the past, so I wrote about my love of a wide variety of books. I had hoped to have the interview to represent myself more fully. I still haven’t figured out a way to condense loss and the desire to help others going through that loss into 500 words.
Personally, I am thankful that Yale has this program. I think all of us, even those rejected, are better for it. The hope of contributing to such a community pushed us further towards our best selves. It would have been much easier to have passed on applying to a program that accepts so few, but we would have been poorer for it. Forgive me for sounding so much like a fortune cookie. That is my cue that it is late and I need to go to bed. Congratulations to all who moved on, and to those who didn’t, if a rejection from Yale is the worse thing that happens in your life, then you are incredibly blessed.
Hey folks who are interviewing would you keep posting for those of us who arent interviewing this year? it would be very kind and helpful!!
