Didn’t see a thread for this, so I’m starting one! Has anyone here applied to Yale this year?

Sent in a last minute application sunday night, fingers crossed lol
Same! I literally wrote the shorter essays Monday morning, which I should NOT have done lmao. Good thing I had already finished the longer essay (the transfer statement with a limit of 500-750 words) at least. What major are you?

I’m applying for the “ethics, politics and economics” major. Super interesting mix within one major and the prof who started the major was my religion profs advisor back in his undergrad.
How about you?

Hey there! Applying for Sociology major! My application was last minute as well, my larger essay I didn’t even have time to edit. I applied last year but obviously, it didn’t work out, hoping for this year!

That sounds super interesting! I’m a comparative literature major.
Awesome! And yeah, I’m currently re-reading my application and I feel like my essays could’ve been better if I hadn’t procrastinated so much haha. I’m sure we’ll be fine though! I can’t wait to hear back so I can be free from this anxiety. Good luck–I hope it works out for you this year.

is anyone else’s checklist like half empty despite sending in the required materials?
Yes, my college report and high school transcript are still missing even though I had them sent directly to Yale a while ago, and I’ll have to contact them about the midterm report as I’m not enrolled in any courses this semester. So basically three of the items on the checklist have the red X marks. I’m sure it’s the same for most of us since it’s only been a few days from the deadline. Don’t worry about it!
Yep pretty much the same for me. Is the college report similar to the one Columbia asks for?
Yes! I’m pretty sure Columbia specifically asks that a college official fill out the Coalition College Report, which looks a bit different from the Common App College Report. Basically, you ask a counselor or any college official at your current institution who can vouch for your good academic standing and conduct to fill out the form and send it directly to Yale (or any college that uses Common App).
I am applying! Does anyone know when decisions might be out?
I was wondering the same thing. I saw something about them coming out mid-May, but does anyone know of an exact date?

@kingkenny @artsystemgirl27 According to the previous transfer threads, it seems like they’ve traditionally released the decisions on May 10 every year regardless of what day of the week it falls on (except last year they released them on May 12 due to the COVID outbreak). This year may be another exception as they could’ve received more applications than usual.

Does anyone know when interviews typically start rolling out?
I have had my transcript and report sent to yale two weeks before, but they have not updated my checklist yet. Does anyone know of any active email addresses that they have? I have checked back via the transfer.admissions@yale.edu ,but they are not replying. I also emailed them via the email provided in my application portal, but got no response.
I wouldn’t worry about it till they start looking at transfer applications! I’m pretty sure they’re flooded with first-year applications and their materials. I emailed them twice about different issues, one of them being a missing material, and I have not received any response.
Thanks for letting me know this! Hope they move on to transfer applications soon…
Sure thing! I hope so too. One month to go
I just got a response from them! If you haven’t received one yet, you’ll receive one soon.
It’s kinda wild they’re still up responding to emails at almost midnight EDT, by the way…
