I am an international applicant from Pakistan. I had a very good Yale interview. My interviewer was very impressed. Is there some sort O screening before interview for internationals?
WHY IS IVY DAY ON THE 31ST?! THIS IS TOTALLY GOING TO STRESS ME OUT!
Hi! Around what time will decisions come out on the 31st? I’m even more nervous and scared because i got rejected from my second choice, UCLA, and am praying that I get into my first, Yale. Good luck to all!! ~X(
@emenya I bet CC will be down, but I really hope the portals aren’t! Otherwise my refresh buttons is going to die!!!
@emenya
cc will implode. At one point I was considering just waiting for my ivy decisions to come by snail mail just to avoid all the glitches and associated stress
For my Yale decision I’m gonna: position my mouse over the login button, turn my speakers up to full volume, close my eyes, click, and wait to hear a singing bulldog (fingers crossed).
@fizzy110 So we will know that we are rejected if a singing bulldog does not appear as soon as we log in?
@adrianmcafee15 I’m not speaking from experience, but from what I’ve gathered, if you’re accepted there will be a signing bulldog on the screen
@fizzy110 haha great idea! I think i’m going to do the same thing as well.
@fizzy110 really?! I wasn’t expecting a singing bulldog haha fingers crossed for that then 
@chal123 The decisions come out at 5PM EDT.
I’m thinking of turning the volume up on my computer, opening up the portals for all of my ivies, and then running away from the computer and hiding in a corner with a tub of ice cream. Yup.
So how do we get the decisions? Is this it? https://apply.yale.edu/decision ?
that is it.
As an international student with English as my third language (Creole being the first and French the second), I have a pretty poor SAT writing score which brought my overall score down to around 2000. Will it be a disadvantage or thanks to the Ivys holistic approach, they will consider all these factors during the reviewing process?
and yeah! Good luck to everyone! :))
Yes
@gettingonmynerve, yup they factor all that in!
@gettinonmynerve As long as other parts of your application are really strong, you’ll be fine. Plus, Yale Admissions writes this on the website:
“While there is no hard and fast rule, it is safe to say that performance in school is more important than testing. A very strong performance in a demanding college preparatory program may compensate for modest standardized test scores, but it is unlikely that high standardized test scores will persuade the admissions committee to disregard an undistinguished secondary-school record.”
So, if you have a strong academic record at school, they will likely discount your lower standardized test score (especially if you performed well in writing classes at school)!
They also wrote this:
“We estimate that over three quarters of the students who apply for admission to Yale are qualified to do the work here. Between two and three hundred students in any year are so strong academically that their admission is scarcely ever in doubt. But here is the thing to know: the great majority of students who are admitted stand out from the rest because a lot of little things, when added up, tip the scale in their favor. So what matters most in your application? Ultimately, everything matters. The good news in that is that when so many little things figure into an admissions decision, it is fruitless to worry too much about any one of them.”
No single factor of your application will get you rejected. Yay for holisitc admissions lol
Doubt I’m getting in. Thought I would feel more confident after going 7/7 on admissions so far but I guess not
I wanted to check my application status (since I made a change recently) but it is shut down for early action decisions??? Does anyone else see this or is it a problem with my cache.
@nandroida, it did the same thing to me. so strange.
